Build Summary

STARTER ITEMS

Notes You might find it a bit odd to start with Conduit Gem, instead of Sands of Time

However, this build doesn't target Cooldown Reduction, but playing it smart with high damage and high mobility instead.

- Read the guide down below for an in-depth explanation!

Vulcan's Skill Order Notes

Skill Priority:
4 > 1 > > 3 > 2


Earthshaker > Backfire > Magma Bomb > Inferno Cannon

Spending 1st skill point on your 2nd skill Inferno Cannon could be a safer start. It can be used to tank red camp as you would not wanna lose 15-20% HP and use a healing potion Healing Potion
However, against enemies with good clear it might be risky in lane. That's why I usually prefer leveling up Backfire first.

You might feel like you want to prioritize Inferno Cannon rather than Magma Bomb. It is an option, as you would take your combination with your starter item Conduit Gem towards the best outcome. But, Magma Bomb works well in your clean-up combo as it is also used for poking enemies.

CONDUCT GEM UPGRADES

Notes Gem of Focus is preferable to boost up your 'Kill & Run' combo.

However, if you feel like you're in need for more damage, and you are not going to be on the front line then you can always pick up Archmage's Gem

Introduction

Greetings Challengers,


Welcome to my Revival Guide for Vulcan.



I am a casual player who usually plays conquest. I've been playing MOBAs for ages, and I always like to experiment.

If you're looking for a fun way to play Vulcan in season 8, with high damage and high mobility, give this guide a try and let me know how enjoyable your experience is!!



This guide is to get Vulcan, God of Fire, back to his prime. As he definitely have a huge potential to be back in the meta.
It is a bit of a challenge, so you should be comfortable with landing Vulcan's skills to get the full out of this guide.



Please be sure to check out the in-depth details down below to guide you on how to utilize this guide to it's full prime.





Introduction Early Game Mid Game Late Game Conclusion

Early Game

Early Game


    ○ Your early game should be to utilize your skills in quickly clearing the lane and pressurizing the enemy god.

○ Whenever you find a chance to hit the whole wave and the enemy god with it, do it. As you should always keep your eye on your starter item, Conduit Gem status, the more charges it have the bigger the damage you deal, the faster you clear the wave.
it's not about spamming your skills, but instead taking each step patiently while being aware of your surroundings.



○ After clearing the first wave, be sure to place a ward on the solo lane's side to avoid the risk of a jungler's gank. And if your jungler ganks with you, it could be a good kill secure on the enemy mid-laner. If not, try to secure with him the XP camps.


◘ It goes without saying:
Always obtain the Red Buff in early game, as it adds on a juicy damage boost for you.



Introduction Early Game Mid Game Late Game Conclusion

Mid Game

Mid Game

    ○ At this point on, you would already have your boots and core item. You could start rotating for Duo or Solo lane whenever you see potential kills.


○ Try to take the enemies by a surprise ultimate , while having full charges on your Conduit Gem and be amazed of the amount of damage you deal.


○ Follow up and clean with the rest of your abilities, your main clean-up combo would be
3rd skill -> 1st skill

Use your 1st before the enemy is knocked-up for an easier and more consistent secure.

○ Call out with the team to secure Scorpions, and whenever your ultimate is ready call out to secure Gold Fury and Pyromancer. Because if it goes bad and the enemy detects you, you can secure it with your ultimate.

Late Game


On this point forward, you're The Machine!!No, not this Machine.😏

○ Spam your 1st skill when you're leaving the fountain to give yourself a push forward which adds on your mobility. As the upgraded version of Conduit Gem] [b]->[/b] [[Gem of Focus, works similarly to Ra's passive in terms of movement speed. Plus, a great bonus, that it increases the user's DMG output and decreases the DMG taken by 3%, up to 3 stacks.

I hope I clarified my Build Guide for Vulcan to the point. Let me know if you have any concerns or if u faced any difficulties with the build. I'd be more than happy to receive your feedback!




And as Vulcan always says,

 "

When I started building a Thumper Turret, they said, 'You must be daft to build that!' But I built it all the same just to show 'em! Well, it blew up. So, I built a second one, and it blew up! But the sixteenth one, It stayed up!

 "

GOOD LUCK! HAVE FUN!

SmiteFire & Smite

Smite is an online battleground between mythical gods. Players choose from a selection of gods, join session-based arena combat and use custom powers and team tactics against other players and minions. Smite is inspired by Defense of the Ancients (DotA) but instead of being above the action, the third-person camera brings you right into the combat. And, instead of clicking a map, you use WASD to move, dodge, and fight your way through the detailed graphics of SMITE's battlegrounds.
