Why should you listen to me?

I'm a rank 10 Mercury player with over 2,000 kills and 130+ exclusive arena wins on him. My KDR is currently a 2.3:1 and I've spent hours upon hours trying out builds. So far, this one is the build I find the most effective in Arena gameplay.

Fastest Boxer Alive

Why this build? I've tried nearly 20 builds with Mercury in game and this one has given me a 2:1 KDR currently, highest of any other build I've tried.

Why Heartseeker ?



If you are experienced in Smite enough to know how to survive and stay alive for long periods of time, Heartseeker is the best possible item you can put on a Mercury. Because of Mercury's ult, H.S. gives Mercury 85 physical power and a 10% speed boost. Remember: at ~4:30, try and kill as many outside camps as you can, always aiming for speed buffs. The stacks and extra gold help tremendously for snowballing.

Why Warrior's Tabi ?



I've tried so many different builds without using any boots, and they just don't work. Like I mentioned above, Merc's ult takes good use of speed boost of warrior's tabi, the attack speed and damage are exactly what you need early game. At this point, you're already faster than any god with any equal monetary combination of items. (excluding stupid midas)


Why Malice ?



Malice or Rage are both suitable items, it depends which you like more. They end up being nearly the same item at the end of the game. Crit is the game you're playing with merc. The more the merrier.


Why Deathbringer?



I use it mostly so I can take entire chunks out of mage's HP from far away, slowly breaking down their team. Adding 50% damage to your crits helps you incredibly when in a tight pinch.




Why Golden Bow?


Honestly, it can be switched out for other items if the situation requires it, but the Damage, movement speed and critical chance never hurt. Plus the movement speed ends up giving you ~41 damagein stead of the 35 it says.

If you have any questions about how to play Mercury or what builds work, feel free to add me on Smite. I'm more than happy to answer any question you may have.

looks unfinished.
try to edit the items with double square brackets , add chapters like actives , pros\cons , situational items (like if you start to die in late teamfights - what do you change the Heartseeker with? what about alternatives to Golden Bow ?) etc.
Is a Build untill then , not a Guide.
