Introduction

Hi my name is Divios, I like to believe I play at a high level solo lane. Vamana is one of my favorite gods just due to the fact of how hard it is to kill him in battle. As I play SMITE I like to also get better whenever I can.

Summary

With the build I posted above it allows you to do many things. You are super tanky and do decent damage, Mystical Mark will help mid game harass and minion clear as well as doing free damage in a team fight. Meditation will help you sustain a lane and heal for 30% of your missing health during a team fight. Hand of the Gods for securing objectives of course and even early game clearing before your Umbrellarang can do it on it's own. With this build you will have over 3000 health easily as well as dishing out around 220 damage per hit.

Skills

Sleeping Giant This has to be one of the best passives in the entire game. It gives Vamana 15% convert from physical protection to physical damage, everytime he gets hit by a enemy god his Colossal Fury cooldown is reduced by one second and during his Colossal Fury it lasts .5 seconds longer per hit by a enemy god for a max of 10 seconds.

Clear The Path - This is Vamana escape ability, it gives him massive amounts of movement speed for a few seconds. During this time Vamana will knock up anyone in front of him, but remember you cant move backwards or to the sides. With this ability your always moving forward but you can direct him with your mouse movement. Max this last.

Armored Umbrella - This is a cone nuke ability that gives Vamana very good poke that is unavoidable. Max this 2nd.

Umbrellarang - This is the bread and butter of solo laning Vamana as it does many things. Umbrellarang slows movement and attack speed as well as doing damage on the out and incoming. Since this ability can hit twice its a great wave clear and gives Vamana a good ranged damage ability. Max this 1st

Colossal Fury - This is what makes Vamana so hard to kill. This ability gives him physical damage, magical and physical protections, CC immunity, cone shaped basic attacks and the best part is he heals 3% of his maximum health per second for 6 seconds + Sleeping Giant.

Pros / Cons

Pros:
- Best wave clear of a bruiser..
- Nearly impossible to gank.
- Very high base damages.
- With Sleeping Giant he has Colossal Fury up very often.
- Can easily escape death.

Cons:
- No hard CC.
- Hard to do damage during ulti because people can run/dash/jump away.
- Better gods to have in teamfights.

Counter Play

Vamana can counter many gods and almost nothing can hard counter him in the solo lane.

Who Vamana Counters:

Loki - Before level 7 you can push him to tower so he gets very little gold as well as make his day horrible when he tries to clear with Decoy. Even if it's just a quick Armored Umbrella to the face.

Hercules - Against Hercules you will always out push him. When your fighting him you most likely will not kill him but you will be able to push him out of lane often and make him get behind on gold/xp, as he will not be able to rotate to the middle gold camps.

Chang'e - Against Chang'e she has a terrible time clearing until she gets some items where her Crescent Moon Dance can do enough. Abuse that and just beat her with your umbrella until she backs out or dies.

Counters to Vamana:

Hel - This god will make Vamana have a hard time clearing. As soon as Vamana] hits the first hit of his [[Umbrellarang Hel will Inspire them back to full and make him use more mana then necessary. This god can poke down Vamana early with a combo of her Repulse and Decay .
