Introduction

Hi everyone and welcome!



I'm ThePoisenYT or shortly ThePoisen,a guidemaker and youtuber.I will keep this guide short and sweet.It's been a while since i last created a guide so hope it won't be that bad.I have been playing thana for a very long time and now i want to teach others how to be "good" as me.

This is Arena Pentakill Build.I do not recommend first build in Conquest.Second one is fine though.





Video to see how build works


Items

My opinion



Ninja Tabi I suggest that you get this instead of Warrior Tabi beacuse Thanatos does enough damage with his Death Scythe and Warrior Tabi just overcaps his power and you don't need it.It's better to have some attack speed.


Jotunn's Wrath or Bloodforge for second item.This depends on what you want both items do same damage.If you want cd or shield that saves health.


The Executioner or Titan's Bane as 4th item.If they have tanks both items work nicely.Depends on you though do you want higher crit or more attack speed.


Wind Demon and Deathbringer now this is where you become deadly.I suggest getting Wind Demon first beacuse passive is so good.So use it before Hi-Rez nerf it.

Skills

Thanatos Skills




Harvester of Souls-So this is Thanatos passive and this why he is able to make pentakills easily and with Bloodforgehe gets 80% of his hp back with one kill.But be careful people usually buy anti heals like Divine Ruin or Pestilence and other items.


Death Scythe-This is most important skill use it to kill secure or how other people call it "ks" but if they say this there is always a mute button :P.Use it also if you can't reach the target or they are trying to escape.Be careful not to miss it has long cd if you don't kill.


Scent of Death-So this is just movement speed use it always if you chase someone or you want boost your damage.



Soul Reap-This is just a skill to use to interrupt other god's skills and dashes or ks if you are lucky.Always level other skills over this trust me it's just not worth it.

Hovering Death-My favourite skill.Use this one to execute tanks on low hp beacuse they usually don't buy aegis but there are cases where they do so always check who has aegis and who used it so you don't waste this and end up dead which happend to me so many times.

Summary

To be continued!

This build is made for arena right or all game modes
I play Thanatos only in Arena
Sometimes Conquest
I've gotten 8 pentas already with him and I want a build that's better then my current one so more pentas.

Ugh stupid quick comment doesn't even work.

Anyway, damn dude. I feel that a build like this is something only a seasoned thana player, such as yourself, would be able to utilize efficiently.

However, it's very hard to argue with results like these. Most impressive.

Also, I'm not 100% sure your main build would be the most viable for conquest, so you might want to note somewhere that this is for Arena only (not a thana player, so I can only offer conjecture).
