Introduction

Kumbhakarna is one of the strongest supports in the game solely because of the 50 year mesmerize on his Mighty Yawn. This guide will show you how to make the most of the 3 button on your keyboard while playing SMITE.

Items

Here I will go over the items listed above.

  • Bumba's Mask is very important to Kumbhakarna for its valuable MP5 and bonus damage on jungle camps. The MP5 allows you to stay in lane longer to spam your 3 as much as possible and the bonus damage helps you clear blue buff and mid camps faster. Don't sell this until you're buying your 4th item.

  • Reinforced Greaves are easily the boots for a Guardian like ***bha. The protections and bonus movement speed when out of combat help him rotate much faster.

  • Some of the most important stats for a Guardian are protections and health. Mystical Mail gives both of these as well as a constant source of damage, which helps Kumbhakarna's jungle clear as well as allowing him to make good use of the 40% slow on Mighty Yawn.

  • Hastened Fatalis and Winged Blade give ***bha some much needed mobility and allow him to rotate much faster. Hastened Fatalis is preferred as it allows you to keep up with enemies with higher movement speed than you so that you can mesmerize them and make the most of your Mystical Mail. However, Winged Blade is an alternative for games where the enemy team has a lot of strong slows, like Vulcan's Heavy Shot or Chaac's Rain Dance.

  • Kumbhakarna makes great use of Obsidian Shard, Doom Orb, and Ethereal Staff, especially with Hastened Fatalis. Obsidian Shard lets you ignore a third of their magical protection, causing your basics to do a lot more damage to gods and objectives. Doom Orb gives you a lot of power to make better use of the penetration on Obsidian Shard. Ethereal Staff allows you to make use of the HP from Greaves, Mystical Mail, and Winged Blade as well as ***bha's naturally high HP.

  • Fist of the Gods and Greater Meditation are probably the best actives to get on ***bha. The added CC from FoG is great to use on enemies that somehow get away from your Mighty Yawn and Meditation allows you to stick around longer and use your Mighty Yawn more.

Skills

Honestly, all of Kumbhakarna's skills are completely useless unless they're called Mighty Yawn. Never put points into any other skills.

Pros / Cons

Pros

  • Literally unkillable
  • 50 year mesmerize
Cons
  • Only 1 skill is useful
  • Completely worthless if your keyboard doesn't have a functioning 3 key

Team Work

Kumbhakarna works well with all team compositions and works especially well on DOT-heavy teams. I would suggest Xbalanque and Ao Kuang as teammates.

Summary

Overall, Kumbhakarna completely outshines all other supports in SMITE with just 1 skill. He benefits the most from items that give health, physical protection, MP5, movement speed, power, and penetration. You should probably use Kumbhakarna any time you play support, especially if you can press 3. Thanks for reading!

This guide was helpful wen they had teh naptime MOTD. Pretty much just spammed 3 the whole time. ***bha should put at least 1 point into his 1 for a chase/escape.

This guide is freaking amazing. How the hell did I even WIN before with my other K u m b h a games? I'm still shocked. This player should be in Masters, and on a competitive team. Never seen a more well developed guide.

I don't know.... But i think this build is meant to be aggressive, but this build will fall hard if you don't counter build guardians like Athena, Athena can really be a problem to Kumbhakarna.

This guide is SUCKS. and i mean SUCKS.

I'm surprised you didn't get Malice and Deathbringer on him. Plus why don't you build cdr? I recommend Hydra's Lament.

YOU DIDN'T EVEN PUT IN Telkhines Ring GOD DAMMIT!

I love this guide. Upvoted for sheer balls.

Not gonna lie, this guide is the only reason I don't go 0-20 as ***bha. With the constant slow on the enemy from my 3, I'm unkillable! Thanks ActuallyNot62! However I think some CDR should be added to maximize the use of the 3. Good guide overall.
