Introduction

This is my first build so please offer any criticism! I've been playing Poseidon on and off since Season 3. The builds have always changed but I've got back into him in season 8 and am now trying to find out the best Season 9 build! I prefer vampiric shroud as my starter for the sustain and Nimble Rod of Tahuti over Calamitous for the attack speed to finish off after the Kraken!

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.
