Pros / Cons

Pros:
+++CC immune while ulting.
+++ Mass of CC.
+++ Knock-up, knock back and slow.
+++ Inherent flat penetration in kit.
+++ Highest Set-up potential.
++ Provides healing and protection buff for allies.
++ ADVANCED mobility.
++ Extra CCR from Resolute.
++ Extra self-heal and healing with Protector's Surge and Resolute.
++ Extra protection from Protector's Surge and Resolute.
++ High synergy potential with other gods.
++ Able to teleport allies.
Cons:
––– Only TWO stable\regular offensive abilities.
––– Vulnerable during channelling his ultimate. Long channelling time. Very situational ultimate with potential Horus always has to pay for.
––– Fracture deals only half of ability damage to non-god targets due to cleave not activating.
–– Very vulnerable to CC, two of his abilities are suffering against Cripples.
–– Struggles from any gods with faster CC, easy to get interrupted.
–– Fracture has the longest wind-up time among all the dashes
–– His playstyle very often puts him in a bad position.
–– little area damage.
– bad waveclear especially without Mystical Mail

Item explanations

Item 1

Sentinel’s Boon is my preferred choice for a starter when playing with the defensive/support build. It will keep Horus topped up in both mana and health and is even more effective due to Caduceus Club healing increase. This starter also won’t have you worrying about clearing the waves as you only need to be close to the minion when it dies to get the gold.
ALTERNATIVE
Heroism can fit your playstyle better if you want to have more health and if you think the passive will be more desirable for the team.

rule]
Item 2

Prophetic Cloak By far one of the best tank items right now. There is almost no downside to building this item. It provides you with lots of defense for you and your team and also gives you cooldown reduction.
Item 3

Gauntlet of Thebes You cant go wrong with this item and works well together with sentinels embrace passive making stacking very easy.
Item 4

build this if you prefer more protections and the movementspeed from this item. And if u feel like the enemy is not very auto attack based.
Breastplate of Vigilance
ALTERNATIVE
Breastplate of Determination Works well in conjunction with To The Skies!. After teleporting you will have some team members with you and the aura you get after using your ult will be used effectively.
Item 5

Caduceus Club Counters antihealing and synergizes well with Sentinel's Boon healing and your own heals
Item 6

Runebreaking Hammer Horus has hard cc in his kit for 3 of his abilities. This makes this item a perfect item for him to utilise. I like the damage reduction AOE pulse that this upgrade gives for some extra peeling for your team.
ALTERNATIVE
Flameforged Hammer Is a good alternative if you like the damaging aura better, but you will lose the damage reduction capabilities

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.
