Introduction

Hello, I am Coopskycam2 and this is my first guide. In this guide, I cover ways I have found to play Nemesis in the solo lane. I am far from being a pro player so if you're expecting master level stuff, here's your chance to leave. Please note that you don't need to follow this guide verbatim for good results, be inventive! I'm sure the comments will be filled with other suggestions.

Understanding Nemesis


Nemesis is a goddess who's damage is physical. Her attacks are melee and she is categorized as an assassin. In the Solo lane, she is best at soaking up damaging and dishing it back out. She's able to apply pressure on some of the toughest warriors who will most definitely underestimate her viability from the start.

Pros & Cons

Pros:
  • High Single Target Damage
  • Decent harassment and poking with her Slice and Dice
  • Good wave clear
  • Decent mobility with [Swift Vengeance]
  • Can mitigate high damage ults with Retribution
  • Excellent healing with Retribution
  • Great ult to set up ganks
  • Power Stealing with Scales of Fate
Cons:
  • Susceptible to Heavy CC
  • Poor Early Game
  • Easily countered by certain warriors
  • Vulnerable to slows without Winged Blade

Conclusion

All in all, Nemesis has great potential in the solo lane and can beat some of the best bruisers at their own game.
Offering strong competition to some of smite's strongest bruisers such as Bellona and Cu Chulainn, masterful Nemesis players shall achieve nothing but victory!
I hope this guide helps any one new to Nemesis or those wondering if she can be viable outside of the jungle. VVGL VVGF!

I personally disagree with a few of the item choices in the recommended builds. I've played Nem solo a few times and enjoyed it every time. I agree that it's correct to go AA to get the maximum value out of your passive. I don't think that Asi, Pestilence, and Ichaival aren't the correct choices. I don't find building lifesteal with Asi useful since you aren't building too much power in the Solo lane, plus you already have Berserker's Shield to make up for it. While Pestilence is a good item, Nem can build extremely well into Toxic Blade, and i'd go for that every time no matter the situation, if you are still needing Magical defense after replacing Pestilence, I would go for a Shogun's Kusari. This will give you more Attack Speed for your passive, as well as CDR and attack speed for your teammates. If you are looking for more power in a Solo lane build for Nem, consider getting Stone Cutting Sword or Void Shield. Having Stone-Cutting basically doubles your passive, and Void Shield can give you free penetration while giving you defense as well. I enjoyed the guide though :)

As an alternative for the skill order I made, you can level retribution first, making you more beefy, especially against gods with little to no CC such as Bellona. Hope this helps! Feedback is welcome and encouraged!
