Horus Build

Starter

Notes Nothing fancy about this i guess. Just want to survive.

Warrior's Blessing

Chalice of Healing

Multi Potion

Teleport Fragment

items ( in order of building)

Notes I noticed that i go more with gladiators shield. Simply i play better with gladiator shield. You can go with blackthorn hammer if you prefer it more. I simply like the healing and the extra protection.

Gladiator's Shield

Warrior Tabi

Breastplate of Valor

My core build

Notes Yes Void shield. I just like it. If the opponent is magical you can switch it out to Ancile or runic shield. and i go shogun for the magical defense and the CDR and CCR and the nice passive.

Gladiator's Shield

Masamune

Breastplate of Valor

Shogun's Kusari

Void Shield

Items to consider

Notes So i consider any of these items to be good if you lack physical or magical protection. However i pay attention that CDR ( avoid over cap) should be near the cap and CCR should not over cap because of Horus passive.

Runic Shield

Pestilence

Genji's Guard

Bulwark of Hope

Breastplate of Valor

Mystical Mail

Oni Hunter's Garb

Ancile

Hydra's Lament

Gladiator's Shield

Warrior Tabi

Breastplate of Valor

About my Horus build.

Hi,

so Horus is out so i tought why not add my build. You will see that you can play around with his build how ever you want. I mainly keep my core items and add some of the meta/ favourite items.

*Please note that Horus is freshly out so this build might change.*

This build is a solo build. Im not adding support build.
I mostly try to cap or keep the CDR around 30% and the CCR also around 20% so the passive of Horus can work (dunno how much the CCR cap actually helps)
Horus is very tanky at the start so you can go more dmg oriented and with his heals and protection you can sustain a lot.

Of course alot of items depending on situation and personal preference and of course the state of your game and game mode.

I adding some build variations just for fun to show how i play around.

Enjoy it and add your constructive comments :)

Pros and Cons

Pros:

Tankyness
Mobility
Healing
Got some nice CC in the form of stun, knock up and slow ( also some debuff with the 2 doing some protection shred)

Cons:

Still vulnerable to CC
Still vulnerable duringt Ult

Threat

Any God with high CC. CC is just disguisting in Smite and can be a major problem for any god.

You generally want to get after glad shield because its passive is more effective early game before your opponents start getting their defenses online; it's also an item that you can use all game for a bit of extra pen.

I'm not sure how I feel about because I'm not sure can get good use out of it. I'd probably go // depending upon what I need more of.

As Vini pointed out, might be in there a bit too early. It was recently nerfed, so I think it shouldn't be bought until after your protections are bought - it can be a decent replacement for your blessing, with replacing .

Relic-wise you're looking to cover what your support doesn't get, though Teleport Glyph is usually the first choice for gods without a whole lot of mobility. Your second relic should be something along the lines of , , , or (generally only if your support doesn't pick it up). You can look into against , , or , but they're pretty easy to avoid and Odin's not the same as he used to be. Niche relic picks would be , , and (for tick damaging gods like ). You generally only want to buy these relics IF you absolutely need them because you're job is to help your team during fights by providing pressure/diving the enemy's back line.

Thoughts?

Let me play devil's advocate and say that is a viable option for him. Due to his long cooldowns, sometimes you'll have to box your opponent or clear the wave using basics, and Shogun's passive will help you with that. It also gives 10% CDR.

I'm not a fan of because the passive is really only useful against mages with chanelling abilities (I can only think about ' 1 and 's 1 on fire stance). So, not really that useful.

Unless you're being completly destroyed in lane and need defenses asap, I'd still recommend Blackthorn right after boots, because you really need the CDR.

Agreed with Vini, I think. The 100 health nerf to Black isn't enough to really drop it down...the other parts of the item, namely the CDR and never really running out of mana, are just very helpful overall.

Hi, a thank you for your constructive comments. I made some adjustments.

(13) |

is a bridge item that gets replaced lategame, so it should be build first item, in place of on your example builds.

I don't recommend at all for a solo lane build.

You should remove of all your recommended builds.

Why is listed? It doesn't synergize at all with his kit.

I'd also get rid of Bracer of Undoing, since it isn't a good relic for Conquest.

Gad shield is usefull even at that phase. and as i wrote its depending if you need it or not...
I dont think you can list every possible scenario :)

(81) |

True, but its effectiveness falls off late game unless you're playing who can spam the ever loving **** out of it. Basically you go: blessing->boots->glad->defense against your lane opponent->situational. You sell glad before you buy the speed pot and sell boots for whatever else you need.

Sell glad before you buy boots??

(81) |

I meant boots as in boots replacement, Kriega. And I've edited my comment to make it clearer.

(394) |

It even falls off late game for Arthur. It's strong early specifically because everyone has low power and protections, so the low prots from glad are more effective then.

And then you consider, early game most gods don't have anti-heal. Late, the chances of anti heal are much higher, so the sustain you get likely decreases, percentage-wise. Glad shield should almost always be bought very early and sold late.

(143) |

You can still sell boots for a tanky defense item (since the base stats or glad shield are pretty meh late). I would still consider keeping Glad Shield late on Arthur, the item is just too good not to keep on him, especially if you're building high health with items like Blackthorn and Urchin.

As i wrote this is not CQ specific i think i never wrote its CQ specific.
Stone cutting is good as even with 40 CDR you still got longer cooldowns... so shreding defense with basics is good ... also with the gust from 1 you can also use it.. and gust does great dmg.

Hydra is also good as it synergizes well and got CDR.

(143) |

Not "CQ specific" but you call it a "Solo" build and have speed elixir mentioned?

adjusted some of the builds.

What's wrong with warrior's blessing?

(13) |

Nothing, but they shouldn't list it on example builds. The builds only have 5 items without the blessing.

There is an "After selling warriors blessing" section, Vini.

(13) |

I know. But seven of their example builds list Warrior's Blessing as an item, and that shouldn't be the case.

Its there because these are the builds before you actually sell it and after selling warriors blessing the last itesm are really situational... as you can see i left boots there too not mentioning elixir of speed...
