Build Summary

Sustain Start

Notes You can replace Magic Shell with any other sustain starting relic. I just find it the best one to start with. If you find you are running out of mana too quickly buy Mediations Cloak of you and your allies mana and health sustain.

Sylvanus's Skill Order Notes Focused mainly on healing using wisps and adding Protections to Team mates. Verdant Growth to stall out opponents and rooting them for Carry to kill off.

Wisps for Level 1 as protections to loose as little HP at the purple buff at the start of the game. pop it just before the buff becomes active and tank for the Carry.

Level 2 get Verdant Growth to throw one behind you and your Team mate as when fully grown they become a good source of MP% to out sustain your Opponents.

Sylvanus throws a seed to a target location. If it hits an enemy they will take damage, lose Protections, and become Rooted.

Extended Build

Quick buff Clear

Notes If you start at Red and then head over to to Purple Buff go this start.

Less sustain early game but more EXP.

Use Hand Of Gods without attacking on the Red then run straight over to purple to to help clear. this is where tier two boots is most important to waste as little time running through jungle as possible.

Used this build, and their ADC ended up DC'ing. They had Support Kali, and I ended up soloing her 3 times using all the abilities.

I'd probably DC as well if I had a support Kali.

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.
