Intro

I started trying to play Hades as a mid laner when one game I called tank and picked him and one of my teamates locking in Ymir and said oh well. So I went mid. I did ok but I didn't know what to buy or what play style I should do. Over time I was able to improve and work out a build that not only gives him AP, but also Hp so he can take a little more damage then the common Mid lane caster. Hades is my favorite God now and am at god rank 3 but working on getting to 10.

Why I like Hades

Ive always loved to play as characters that are kinda beefy in every game. And I also like the lore and stories of Hades and Zeus etc: But in Smite Hades and get himself into a fight really easly as well as escape from one. I fell powerful playing him in both tank wise and caster wise. I fell his ult is the best in the game and most of all, his laugh I spam it all game casue I know I'm going to own anyone who comes at me.

Play style

At the start of the game you most likely won't deal as much damage is the other mid laner, unless they are really bad lol. So try to farm and get gold. as you get to lv 2-3 you can poke/harrass you opponent, since you will have a heal with Devour souls. just make sure you have some minions to hide behind to he cant atk you after you go in. When you get your ult, and if he/she is about 1/2-3/4 health, you well most likely be able to finish them off with a 1,3,4 combo. if you are winning your lane feel free to roam a little. you 1,4 gank combo is really powerful and if the target does not die (like a blink or a jump out) he will have to recall which will help out your team. Now when team fights start you can go in first with a simple 1,4 combo. it will make it simple for your adc and other god with aoe moves use them.

Build

this build gives you high HP and really high AP when the build is done. the highest ive been is 920 ap and around 3.7k hp. you dont need to buy items with life steal cause of your number 3 move. and most people won't know just how powerful hades can really be and try to 1v1 or 2v1 him and fail badly.

Pros/Cons

Pros:
-deals lots of damage
-most people dont know how to face a Hades mid.
-can gank really well after you get tower.
-this build has lots of mana so spam away!
-over 900+ ap, over 3.5k hp insane.
can heal up really fast thanks to the amout of AP you got.

Cons:
-start of game does not do a whole lot of damage.
-not as tanky as you are used to playing him as.
-some noobs think you might be trolling or don't know what you are doing.
-if you are facing a Hades going tank at the end of the game he will rage at you cause you own his team.
-No gold skin as of today.

I feel that wish his skill kit he does not need and items with life gain. and I always dealt enough damage with this build when I would play. and in most games I always had the most AP in the match from mid the the end game. Maybe try it out and see for yourself :-)

Some recommended items from me would be Bancroft's Talon and Polynomicon, otherwise its pretty solid all in all.

I'm surprised to not see Bancroft's Talon on this build. It's so good on Hades. I also liked the addition of Gem of Binding on the build, although Hades attack speed is not that high to use it.
