Introduction

Artio is a very heavy damage and powerful guardian even having been played in jungle. Her start is very powerful and I will play her in support lane or solo. If taking too much magical damage I suggest genji's guard or oni hunters garb.

Team Work

Your AOE Stun is extremely powerful along with your cripple. This cripple can stop most assassins from even doing damage. Serqet can't use her first or third ability making ratio an extremely annoying goddess to play against. Her dash is also some consideration because it gets you out of almost any situation and has a high natural damage cap. You can also cancel your ability during dash so you don't dash too far ahead. I have had games where I was teaching a friend how to play ratio and would dive tower steaming how do I stop her dash. Her dash is just an extremely far range and its quite beautifully insane. I recommend to always check who on the enemy team is doing most damage in order to adjust to your build allowing for less damage done to you and more done to your enemies.

Think these builds need a bit of a revision.

These are for the guardian build:
  1. Buy Sovereignty second instead of Breastplate of Valor.
  2. Don't buy BoV.
  3. Don't buy Heartward Amulet.
  4. Consider Gauntlet of Thebes early or mid (2nd-4th item). Just remember that you're not very tanky until you get it stacked.
  5. Swap out Shoes of Focus for Reinforced Shoes if you need extra tankiness early.
  6. Swap out Mantle of Discord for Spirit Robe unless the enemy team doesn't have much CC, which rarely, if ever, happens.
  7. Buy Pestilence instead of Void Stone if there are enemy magical healers on the other team (e.g. Hell, Aphrodite and Chang'e).
  8. Consider Shogun's Kusari as a magical defense item if you have 2 or more AA gods on your team.
  9. Oni Hunter's Garb is a great magical defense item even in support since you should be in the thick of things.

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.
