Small Talk

Glad shield for sustain
Anti-heal to counter your lane early
Warriors for lane clear
Pridwen procs when Nike casts so you get ult shield and Pridwen shield.

*If you started vs nonhealer but the enemy team has healers in other places, buy pestilence or contagion. Never build both, the anti-heal aura does not stack. Still build it even if someone else does too. Your team usually can use two anti-heal aura's effectively because you normally won't always have one where you need it.*

Nike's new Barrier Formation ability invented fun btw

Pridwen is a strong item, but I'm not sure I'd consider it that early. The protections are only moderate, and while the 20% CDR is great, it has no health. Depending on your build to that point, you may not have gotten ANY items with health, and you really want a balance there.

Besides Gladiator's Shield, you should also consider Berserker's Shield, IMO.

And you're missing other items like Void Shield, Blackthorn Hammer, and other counter items like Midgardian Mail, Hide of the Nemean Lion, etc.

Yeah I think Pridwen should be built after blackthorn in this build considering the lack of mana sustain this build has.

Kriega1 (143) | July 26, 2019 9:13am
Also where's blackthorn, and the start where you rush glad shield ( Warrior's Blessing, Round Shield, 3 Healing Potions.)

Wouldn't it be better to get Barrier Formation at level 2? Also you should list more situational options.

Branmuffin17 (394) | July 26, 2019 10:30am
I think I'd probably get Leap at level 2. Standard mobility ability 2nd. With the faster leap, you can also combo/attack cancel it better, and the knockup is good for disruption.

But doesen't her 2 disrupt/push minions, while dealing damage and then finishes with a bit of burst damage?

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.
