Excellent fighter, very versatile within the game SMITE 2, so let's start with his guide.
Skills
Shield of Achilles
Ability that deals area damage, but if you keep an enemy within 2 meters, it can stun them.
Radiant Glory
Ability that allows her to have slight protection, but if you use your other abilities, it allows her to heal depending on her corresponding strength.
Combat Dodge
Allows you to move to a targeted location to dodge enemy attacks, then lets you draw your spear and execute a linear attack that, upon hitting an enemy, allows for another movement and another attack.
Fatal Strike
ultimate ability to execute regardless of the armor possessed, as long as the health percentage is low
Passive ability, Gift of the Gods
grants 4 benefits for the combat, which are health bonus, general protection bonus, additional strength and movement speed, and in addition, it grants radiant glory and evasion during combat.
starting equipment
We'll start with the initial "bluestone pendal" since it provides us with health and mana regeneration, as well as dealing a small amount of additional damage for 2 seconds.
Item 1. Preferably, having some general protections in addition to reducing enemy healing, we use "Ruinous Ankh" which grants magical and physical protections while also significantly reducing enemy healing.
Item 2. We will buy some damage to apply more pressure on minions. "Void Shield" provides us with physical protection and some damage in strength, and it reduces their physical defenses in an area of 8.8 meters.
Item 3. We will add a bit more area damage along with defense; we will use the "mistical mail" which will deal area damage as you get close to enemies and offers physical protection. This item is very useful for eliminating minions and enemies when you are in combat.
item 4. We will deal some damage with the item "Qin's Blade," which grants us power and attack speed, but additionally provides physical damage equivalent to 3% of our enemy's health.
Item 5. We will compensate for our attack speed with "Shogun Ofuda" which gives us attack speed and magical protections along with an increase in our health, and grants an aura that increases the attack speed of our teammates around us.
Item 6. This last item can vary a lot, but it's good to help our team, so we will use "Amanita Charm" which allows us to establish a healing zone for our allies and provides physical and magical protections, as well as life regeneration and increased maximum health.
Skill upgrade by level
I will implement the following rotation:
Escudo: 1, 4, 6, 7, 10
Radiant: 2, 8, 12, 15, 18
displacement: 3, 11, 14, 16, 19
Fatal blow: 5, 9, 13, 17, 20
how to play.
At the beginning of the match, prioritize eliminating enemy minions so that yours can help you take down your opponent.
Group the enemy minions by dealing a few light hits to your enemy and then eliminate them all with your "shield of achilles" ability.
when you have your "radiant glory" ability, use it to heal yourself, keep the same progress of gathering everyone, activating "radiant glory" and eliminating them with "shield of achilles" This way, you will heal a good amount of health and deal a lot of damage to the other enemies.
you should not use your abilities without having "radiant glory" activated as it provides you with protection and life recovery, or if you switch to the "gift of the gods" you will gain strength and movement speed, which in my suggestion is preferable to have more protection and life restoration.
Don't forget to eliminate the totem that helps minions to grant more defense and damage to your minions and make it easier to eliminate enemies.
by carrying defense items along with "gift of the gods" in their combat form, you will be able to deal a great amount of damage and provide support to your team.
don't forget to buy wards to check your jungle so that more enemies don't surprise you, and finally, being one of the gods with the greatest ease of pressure in the minion lane, whenever you can, leave the lane, help create "crowd control" with your teammates so they can eliminate them easily.
It has been too long, I had to take a break from making videos for outside reasons but I'M BACK NOW. WE WILL BE MAKING GUIDES AGAIN AND WILL BE USING JUST TO MAKE SURE PEOPLE KNOW WHAT I KNOW.
Seriously though I appreciate this platform so much and I'm glad I can hop in and out whenever I like. enjoy how to Achilles.
