The Once and Future King

*NOTES* In regards to King Arthur’s combos you can create your own! Personally, I like to start the game out in his “***ualt” Stance which are his Red abilities. When your Sword meter is maxed out, wait until your opponent is around the 30% health threshold then kill them with your ult. Also, your skill priority is whatever you feel the most comfortable with.

As someone who has been playing Smite since the game first came out, I decided to finally make a guide. For years of playing I have played Guardians almost exclusively. However, the general rule of thumb for Warriors is to build DEFENSE with the exception of your damage output coming from your boots, Void Shield and if you’re matchup is Magical then Runic shield as well. With my example builds listed above they cover both Physical and Magical protections so you will always be prepared for any circumstance. If you’re playing against your typical ADC or Jungler you should swap Mystical Mail for the Hide of the Newman Lion. Or if you’re going up against a Champion with sustain you can swap Bulwark of Hope with Pestilence. When you finally reach Endgame status I prefer the Mantle instead of the Hide of Urchin. Your mitigation should be strong enough at this point where you shouldn’t have ANY issue even if your team isn’t willing to work with you.

Pros:
Great Damage for a Warrior
Amazing in team fights


Cons:
Requires combo knowledge
Terrible Early Game

In closing, King Arthur is a valuable asset to any team regardless of team comp! He has a very deep learning curve but when you master his play style it is very rewarding! It will be a remarkable feeling when you start winning games and watch your K/D skyrocket.
