About me :D

Hello I am xxzilvis11xx from Lithuania so sorry about letter mistakes :) English isnt my main Language. I play smite from the Beta i also played before a lot of games similar to Smite like League of Legends, Heroes of the Newerth, Heroes of the Storm and Dota 2.I started playing Smite since Beta and i know a lot of gods and playstyles. My main is Thanatos and i love him very much :) so i decided to share with u my personal lovely nuking build that i called Thanatos One Shot Macro or Quick Scope build :D[/u]Thanatos One Shot Macro or Quick Scope build :D

Pros and Coins of Thanatos

Pros:
1. Very fun and enjoyable god with big potential
2. Bursty as hell :D
3. Decent movement and survivability
4. In my opinion Strongest Assassin in the game
5. Good in start of game and late game
6. U can Carry easily games even if enemies is feeded, but need experience and knowledge of game and God
Coins:
1. Very Squishy at start of game, sometimes could be bad in late game, but i see it very rarely
2. Ulty and Syche Throw could be countered
3. Need fast farm or kills to have full potetial to carry a game
4. Average to learn, but sometimes i find difficult to play it against some of classes

Some Talk about Abilities Order and ways

First of all i always like to get full benefit of class so in 3 lvls i take my all 3 skills. It helps me to do more things.
Basically most of all i like to Max Death Scythe at start since it will help me to harass enemies from the range to get them low hp and kill in melee or send a final blow to an enemy. U will see many People Maxing Scent of Death.It is also a good choise since it gives us penetration and speed.
Then i go for Soul Reap to get silence and i finish by maxing ulty.

Your Spell Rotation

First of all u need to pop Scent of Death and fast launch a Death Syche to get maximum damage from Death Syche since Scent of Death will give ya a armor pen and use Soul Reap for Silence, but also depends from the Fight and if target tries escape or he far Away use Ultimate to hunt him down to the Abyss :D
If I am nuking a target i use Soul Reap at start to silence target and dont let him escape or cast spells, then i am using Scent of Death and finishing the target with Death Sytche.
I use ultimate to escape usless team fights, death or chase enemy and kill it.

Why Asi ?

I take Asi to get more Life Steal since it gives more survivabilty, so then u have more Life Steal u can live longer and fight longer also it helps to be more agresive :) U dont need to back home to get health since u can get it from free killing and hitting minions, jungle mobs or even players :)It also gives Penetration. Penetration ignores some amount of enemies armor which means u can hit harder :) I also like the passive since it gives big amount of Life Steal to survive and do more dmg. We need it because we are very squishy.

Why Malice ?

One of the strongest item that could be used by assassin in my opinion :). It gives big amount of Physical power also crit. Passive is very strong also. It does additional damage then u crit it stacks with ur +75 procent of your total Physical power. So it means u need to have as much as u can Physical power to get the best benefits from Passive of Malice.

Why Executioner ?

I like this item so much since Passive Reduces targets physical protection by 12 procent for 3 sec ( max 3 stacks u can get). This item is very useful against Geared tanks to take down easily and also gives nice amount of physical and attack speed bonus :)

Why i Chosen Aegis Amulet and Heavenly Wings ?

Aegis Amulet
Basically its simple answer :P Aegis Amulet in my opinion is best choise from all relics which i take on all of my gods. It gives short immunity which gives us survivability to escape sticky situations :)

Heavenly Wings
Its also good option which helps us to hunt down our enemies or once more escape from fights where u can see u will die. It gives nice amount of speed for us and team mates :)

More Available items to buy for Thanatos

Hydra Lament
U can also go with Hydra Lament its very strong item with his passive since it will give bonus damage for your basic attack by using one of your abilities. But personally i dont like this type of game play to use some ability to get maximum damage and then go to a fight. It also gives a mana regen buff. U will see many builds going with it but personally i never get out of mana in Arena atleast. The thing u need to spend your abilities at needed time so u wont need to sacriface one good crit item fro this, but after all its good option to buy it.


Transcendence
Its item which gives us mana, but as i said before i wont take it since i am using build to quickscope enemies and survive. U will also see a lot of Thanatos players buying it.


Rage
Well if u like to have some big crits go for it :). His passive lets us to stack some crit and get big blows.

Bad guide is bad. This shouldn't have 7 up-votes because it's that bad. Anybody silly enough to even try this build is going to have a bad time.

It doesn't have 7 upvotes...it likely has 3 upvotes and 4 downvotes, and that averages somewhere around 50%.

You shouldn't ever rush crit, let alone deathbringer

You won't need that much lifesteal due to your passive

zilvis11 (1) | August 20, 2017 1:09am
