Mercury Build

Main Items

Notes Leather cowel gives a bunch of useful stats and movment speed, allowing you to get some extra manuverability.
I prefer starting with dagger of frenzy as it makes your early game way stronger. And it allows you to solo Bull very early. And it combos well with your 2. After you use your 3 on an enemy, you can burst them down by using your 2 and frenzy at the same time.
Then you have the crit items. Crit is just very strong on this boy, you have insane attack speed and your 1 deals crit damage. (Better version of Echo >_>)
Silverbranch is just very good and gives you a lot of stats and the sounds it makes my brain tickle.
Magi cloak is just very nice to get in most situations as the enemy probably has a lot of CC which they spam at you the second you try engage.

Tricks

You have INSANE objective damage with this build. You can solo bull pretty early and you can also devistate towers.
If the game is close and you have dealt some damage to the enemy titan. Then you can just teleport into it with your ult and burst it down yourself.
You can also throw out your flying ward to scout the enemy in the distance and then use your ult to snipe them in the distance as your ult has infinite distance. Allowing you to snipe gods without them even knowing what happened.

SmiteFire & Smite

Smite is an online battleground between mythical gods. Players choose from a selection of gods, join session-based arena combat and use custom powers and team tactics against other players and minions. Smite is inspired by Defense of the Ancients (DotA) but instead of being above the action, the third-person camera brings you right into the combat. And, instead of clicking a map, you use WASD to move, dodge, and fight your way through the detailed graphics of SMITE's battlegrounds.
