Introduction

Sup everyone, I'm Zekeels. Practically a nobody but I want to share with you my Cabrakan guide.

Little bit of my MOBA background:

I played Heroes of Newerth on a competitive level during 2009-2011. I then decided to change to League of Legends where I continued to play casually. I played Smite when it was in beta but never grasped it completely. As of March 2014 I decided to give Smite another crack. I enjoyed it a lot more now than I did back then. And a few months later, here I am.

Now basically Cabrakan is my favorite god.
Ever since they buffed him after his initial release I feel like he can go more than just a support. He can be a strong jungler and I enjoy him the most when I take him to a solo lane.

Why Cabrakan solo?

Well I'll put this down to a pros and cons.

Pros:

    Good wave clear
    Natural tankiness
    Good damage
    Incredible teamfight capability
    High CC
    Ability to block off an escape route
    Strong ganking and setting up ganks for your jungler

Cons:
    Most of skills have a short range
    Able to be poked out of lane
    Able to be kited
    Has to run up to someone to CC them
    Beads ruin your day

As you can see from my perspective his pros far outweigh his cons and that's a really damn good thing to have.

Build

So basically you want to start the game off with the following:

HOG2
Vampiric Shroud
Health Potion
Ward

Usually on the first back I like to have Warlock's Sash or Shoes of the Magi - whatever floats your boat really. So basically your build should look like this:

Warlocks Sash/Shoes of the Magi
Vampiric Shroud
Wards if you have the gold

Mid game is coming and you have a choice - Counter the enemy laner or go aggressive if ahead. Also your boots should be finished by this point. If I want to counter my lane partner, if they are physical I get Mystical Mail and if they are magical I get Stone of Gaia.

Warlocks Sash
Shoes of the Magi
Defensive item as above/Polynomicon/Gem of Isolation
Wards, always buy wards

Let's just round out the build now.

Warlocks Sash
Shoes of the Magi
Ethereal Staff
Defensive item of choice/Polynomicon/Gem of Isolation
Void Stone or Spear of the Magus
Rod of Tahuti

You can play around with the build and drop Rod for more defensive items etc.
Always remember to play around what your enemy has. A single build most likely won't work for all occasions.

ALSO ALWAYS BUY WARDS. Can't stress that enough. Not only do they help you but they help the team, and helping the team is a good thing.

I will add more at a later date!

Don't worry, as I keep playing Cabrakan and go for mastery 10 on him I will update the guide on what to and what not to do as I have more experience playing.

Thanks for reading the guide!

Good luck & have fun!
