Mystical mail's effectiveness falls off once the enemy team starts building magical protections. It can pair well with void stone. Sell late if needed.

Relics

Notes All of these relics are situational. Wings and Emblem make chasing down or escaping an enemy easy; Ankh for strong healing gods like Aphrodite or Hel; Veil for gods like Odin; beads if you're up against Ares or Xing Tian; and Shell as a 2nd relic if your team needs some extra protections. Do not buy meditation cloak, it's not worth it in arena.

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.
