Introduction

Baba Yaga's insane stack building potential due to her passive opens some interesting routes to take her build. With this "tank" build you can potentially have 400 plus damage and over 200 protections in both magical and physical. The main idea is to let your mana from defensive items also build you damage with the help of Book of Thoth. It has been working well for me so far so I hope you guys find this build fun or helpful.

My Personal Build

Gauntlet of Thebes - A go to defensive item, getting this online first will help with protections and supporting your team while you get the rest of the build going.

Shoes of Focus - My personal choice of footwear for all guardians, cool down will help throw those abilities out fast and the extra mana will come in handy pretty soon.

Book of Thoth - I know I know, building Book of Thoth third item sounds crazy but with Baba Yaga's passive it'll be evolved before you know it. Thoth is the center piece of this build allowing you to build a defensively focused build while still getting a solid amount of damage.

Breastplate of Valor - Defense, mana, and cool down is everything you can need in an item for this build. That 300 mana is going to pay dividends with a Book of Thoth in the mix.

Hide of the Urchin - More mana, more protections, and more fun... oh yeah the extra health doesn't hurt either.

Soul Reaver - Another 300 mana item? Yes please. Getting this item online late game will give you a big damage spike giving you power, mana, and penetration.

Summary

I'm not a Smite expert by any means but I've found this build to be a lot of fun and wanted to share it. Tweaking the build to your preferences might (and probably will) find better results than me. I've messed around with a few different items which for more damage or more defense which is added on the build guide. I've seen a lot of people sleeping on the tank/support Baba Yaga but it's worked out pretty well in my experience.
