Who Am I?

I am a Smite player who has been playing since the early release of the game. I played a bit when the game was released, I stopped quite fast because I was spending time on World of Warcraft, Counter Strike, and League of Legends. I came back in Season 2 where I grinded a lot of ranked. Took a break again throughout season 3 and then came back for Season 4. I have been playing since, almost all my games have been streamed on www.twitch.tv/lasbra and will continue to be. Season 5 I have improved a lot and my popularity in the Smite community on Twitch has grown tremendously. This season I have joined a Smite Minor League team (Insignem), so currently I’m using some time scrimmaging and playing semi pro.

Why did I make this guide?

A lot of people watch my stream and asks for builds and how to improve in the jungle role. I feel like people may find my advice helpful so I’ve created this guide to aid anyone in the community who is just starting out or looking to grow their skill. It will be updated often especially if meta and item changes. Also Youtube videos are coming explaining some things.

Meta picks:

Top 5 ranked junglers:

Jungle Route

Important things to know - jungle spawn timers and how much gold they give:

  • Buffs (Speed, Blue, Red, Purple) have a 120 seconds spawn timer (Large gives 48 gold, smalls gives 22 gold. Total = 92 gold)
  • Back camps is 60 seconds (Large gives 30 gold, smalls gives 22 gold Total = 74 gold)
  • Mid camps is 90 seconds (Both gives 30 gold. Total = 60 gold)
  • Oracles is 180 seconds (Both gives 33 gold. Total = 66 gold)
  • Gold fury spawns at 05:00 and have a 300 second spawn timer
  • Fire Giant and Portal Demon spawns at 10:00 and have a 300 second spawn timer.

(All Jungle monsters will now reward an additional 9 XP and 1.5 Gold every 3 minutes. These rewards accumulate over time)

There is a lot of stuff you can do in the jungle right now. The mid laner can help you at speed. BUT I feel like he should only do that, if he doesn’t lose push to hard and if your jungle clear is bad. It’s better for him to pressure mid and invade/do his own red. For example: Thanatos can easily clear buff alone - and if you have a Janus mid, he can clear mid wave and invade red very easily if he doesn’t share with you.

The very basic route is:
Speed buff → Back camps → Blue buff → Mid camps/mid wave/red buff.

It is very important to know which minions you should AA attack (especially if you have Cleave attacks, so you can focus on the time clearing - as Da Ji for example you can hit the small creeps at back camps and buffs 1 time, and then 2 will clear them early game).

When do I decide to leave mid camps?

If you have worse secure/jungle clear than your opponent, you can decide to leave left mid camp, and push up mid wave, so you can either secure your own red or invade their red with your mid laner (this will usually secure you right mids, so you will be able to go equal experience with opponent).
If you have a lot of pressure, and you know the enemy mid laner hasn’t killed his red buff yet, you can also leave mid camps to rush their red (you can solo it, but usually you want to push mid wave with your mid laner).

What to do after?

  1. Invade left back camps → gank solo/mid
  2. Go your own back camps → Mid wave/right back camps → Speed (Back T2 boots, pots/wards).
  3. If you didn’t do blue before backing, you should consider helping your solo laner (see if you can help him on cooldown respawn, which is after your speed). You can also decide to rotate to the right side of jungle, get back camps, and look for a gank in right lane/mid lane.
  4. Usually I don’t do oracles before 5 minutes-ish (they are way too strong).

When to back?

You can back when you can get a power spike or are low on either mana/health (under 50%). Sentries for objectives - good to back after invades because your jungle route will be shorter and more safe from base rather than running through their jungle again.

Actives - Which do I use?

As a jungler it is pretty simple to choose actives, usually you have three major choices: Beads, Blink, or Aegis.
Most situations I would recommend to start beads, because it’s safe and you can play around farming a lot until level 12 where you can get blink to make your engages easier. If you value blink a lot, it is still a fine starter active. Aegis can be picked up, especially if you feel like you are getting focused/bad positioning and if you feel like you would be baiting out ultimates/engagements. If you are looking to make a lot of plays early blink is the choice. However, if you are against hard CC gods, you should not pick up blink.

Where to ward as a jungler?

The blue color will show Normal Wards and the red color will show Sentry Wards. You can sentry where the Normal Wards is placed in the guide, to deward (removing enemy wards with a Sentry Ward). But it’s just a guideline to where people usually ward. Again, this is only a guideline of positions where you could ward.

Where to ward early

Warding around middle of the map is usually where you want to focus on early game. Of course when gold fury is alive, it’s important to get ward control around that. If you are ahead, you should NEVER lose the ward control (this is your team’s job as well).

Spot 1 is a very contestable ward and can be good to sentry (not necessary to sentry, but if you want to invade their Speed it is a really good idea to keep their vision shutdown in the right side).

Spot 2 is good if you want control on red buff and fighting around left mid camps.

Spot 3 gives you vision on lane, gives a lot of information on the jungler and mid laner.

Spot 4 and 5 are defensive wards. Can be useful if they are looking to invade your speed buff and red buff.

Spot 6 is for gold fury, which is probably the most important for you to keep up (usually after 10 min).

Where to ward while trying to force/do Gold Fury?

First ward to talk about is the Sentry Ward on Gold Fury. It is really important that they don’t have vision on it, which you can prevent with a Sentry Ward. Also try to have Oracles control, if you’re looking to force Gold Fury.

The green circle covers flanks from duo lane and the jungler. It is very good for the jungler to flank from behind the Gold Fury. So try to get that ward control if possible.

The orange circle is also a defensive ward that will spot the solo laner/jungler if rotating from solo.

The purple circle is important because fights are usually forced there. Having sentry control on right top mids is just nice when you are fighting around gold fury. The ward behind the top of Gold Fury is where the mid laner and hunter usually would position themselves especially if they don't have ward control around mid.

Where to ward while trying to force/do Fire Giant/Pyromancer?

Remember that this season they have changed Portal Demon to Pyromancer.

The green circle is the most important are to ward, especially if you’re trying to bait Fire Giant/Pyromancer or commit to it.

The pink circle is a good area to ward if they have an assassin or warrior that would flank from behind or right lane.

The orange circle is a good area to ward if you know the enemies are going to come from mid or back camps. It will provide you vision if they flank from mid lane as well.

The 2 deep wards at their back camp and blue are really good if you are looking to chase enemies down after Fire/Pyro. Also provides good vision if they are trying to contest.

If early in the game, make sure there still is atleast a normal ward on gold fury - especially because if you see enemies on gold fury you can contest with pyro (but it is not really worth trading pyro for gold early game).

Where to ward when pushing/defending Phoenix?

It is very important to have ward control on the enemies when you are about to push a phoenix. You will know where your opponents are and can react faster to their engagement.

Orange circle is for when you are pushing right.

Purple circle is for when you are pushing mid.

Blue circle is for when you are pushing left.

It’s hard to get ward control between their phoenixes. But if possible you should definitely try. It’s easier for you to get a pick with blink when the mage/assassins is looking to poke from the side.

Same ward spots goes for when you defend. You just want deward (with sentry wards) between phoenixes and on lane so you can get good vision on enemies while removing their vision on you.

Which boots to get?

A lot of people ask why do you never go Talaria/Travelers - a simple answer is the power spike. You get 7% more movement speed, but you lose out on  30 physical or 20 magical power. For example, going normal boots, when the opponent has T2 boots, you are at a huge advantage. But if you went Talaria you would literally have no advantage in trading with him + weaker ganks. A lot of junglers also go other movement speed items such as Stone Cutting Sword/Hastened Katana/Heartseeker - movement speed has DR (diminishing returns) so the more movement speed you get, the less each percentage give.

If you insist to go Talarias, then I can understand it on Bakasura and Mercury maybe. But I would not go it.

Auto Attack Cancel (AA cancel)

What is AA cancel and how to use it?

  1. It is a manipulation of your Auto Attack Chain.
  2. Animation cancelling is inputting an alternate command such as an ability. It is simply overwriting an animation that is in progress (such as your auto attacks).
  3. You use it to get the maximum damage output possible.
  4. You want to use your auto attack, as soon as you see your damage, you use a spell to cancel the animation, and do a auto attack after the spell. I’ll explain specifically under each god how to do it and with which spells!

God Builds - Alphabetical Order

Builds are just a guideline of what you can build, it is really depended on your opponent and being ahead or behind, but I’ll try and cover everything as good as possible.

I tried to cover all assassins even though i don’t play all of them. But hopefully you will find the information valuable and an idea of what you should build.  

Need to work on:
Erlang

When to pick Erlang and how do I rate it in jungle?

Erlang is a strong god right now, with good survivability while also having consistent damage and insane burst. He is a top jungler right now.

What to build?

Starter build + relic: 
Assassin's blessing Katana + 2 HP pots. Usually start blink.

What you should look for first back:

Next thing you want to buy is boots, usually get the back for T2 boots + 1-2 pots (1000 gold).

Relics:

  • First relic: Blink
  • Second relic: Beads

What a normal build would look like:

Warrior Tabi, Stone Cutting Sword, Atalanta’s Bow, Hide Of The Urchin, The Executioner & Qin’s Sais.

Full damage build:

Warrior Tabi, Stone Cutting Sword, Atalanta’s Bow, The Crusher, The Executioner & Qin’s Sais.

A build focused on being more tanky:

Warrior Tabi, Stone Cutting Sword, Hide Of The Urchin/Magi’s Cloak, Mantle of Discord, The Executioner. Could sell Stone Cutting for Qin’s Sais late game, especially against tankier match ups.

  1. If in need of Winged Blade, you should go that 3rd item after Stone Cutting Sword and then decide if you want more tankiness or damage after that.
  2. If really in need of anti heal, I would in almost every situation go Toxic Blade over Brawlers beatstick.

What abilities to level?

First five spells to level:

  1. Level your 1 (Because of cooldown, and can be used on all camps)
  2. Level your 3
  3. Level your 1
  4. Level your 2
  5. Level your 4

Order to max your abilities: 3-1-2-4

Tips & tricks:

  1. You can cancel your dash right after using it, knock up into a lot of AA damage.
  2. Your 1 doesn’t reset your AA chain.
  3. Your 3 mink dash gives fatalis effect.

Pele (newest god)

When to pick Pele and how do I rate it in jungle?

I would pick Pele into gods with low mobility, as she doesn’t have too much gap close, but is really fast and has big burst. Her survivability is really strong as well because of her passive + Soul Eater (which you usually build for mid/early game). I would not pick her, if you have too much healing on your team. She is also a top pick right now.

What to build?

Starter build + relic: 
1. Assassin's blessing Mace + 2 HP pots. Usually start blink.

2. Assassin's blessing Round Shield + 2 HP pots + 1 Multi Pot. Usually start blink.

What you should look for first back:

  2. Level your 1
  3. Level your 1
  4. Level your 2
  5. Level your 4

Order to max your abilities: 1-2-4-3

Tips & tricks:

  1. You can right click your mouse while having your 3 activated to cancel it.
  2. Late game if you ult or blink in, it might NOT be the best decision to use your 2, because its quite easy to get out of, and it has a small animation before used, and if you look to burst somebody it can prevent you from doing so.

Athena

When to pick Athena and how do I rate it in jungle?

You would look to pick Athena if you need frontline and setup for your team while also having a lot of global pressure. It might not be the best god to carry with, but it can be fun and very useful in some team setups.

What to build?

1. Assassin's blessing Mace + 2 HP pots. Usually start blink.

  2. Level your 1
  3. Level your 3
  4. Level your 1
  5. Level your 4

Order to max your abilities: 1-2-3-4

It’s a bit different what I level with athena, but get 3 levels in your 3, so you have atleast decent clear with that, after that you can level your 1 a bit, and then after lvl 8 i start to max taunt (but i don’t usually level taunt before lvl 6, for max clear).

Tips & tricks:

  1. Global ultimate, always look at your minimap and look to get good backs with it if possible.
  2. IF possible remember to use your spells between auto attacks for full efficiency for your passive. Can’t do it in every situation of course.
  3. Late game you when sieging, you can sometimes bait beads by just dashing in aggressively and just running out, without using you taunt.
  4. Your shield wall does more damage in the last tick, so you dont always have to hit first tick, but second tick is more important and you can play around that with your taunt.

Osiris

When to pick Osiris and how do I rate it in jungle?

Osiris is pretty strong boxing and has decent jungle clear. I don’t think it’s that strong, but can be fun.

I’m taking my 3 in level 6, I think it’s important to have most damage to poke and clear jungle faster.

Tips & tricks:

  1. Wait for your 3 to procc if you are taking a 1v1, using your ultimate (for a secured hit).
  2. You fatalis effect with your passive, try to play around that if possible.
  3. You can run through player made objects with your passive.

Vamana

  3. Don’t need to use ult as execute, it’s fine to use it to get closer if you know you can get the kill regardless. Also it’s good for escaping.

Ao Kuang

When to pick Ao Kuang?

Ao Kuang is magical and can therefore be picked in a few comps. His single target has very strong damage and he has big 1 shot potential. He is a big fear factor in unorganized groups, if he can find the 1 vs 1, he is deadly. He is really strong from ahead - gets countered by grouping, CC and anti heal.

What to build?

Starter: 
Assassin's blessing. Tiny trinket + 2 HP pots and 2 Mana pots. Usually start beads.

Next thing you want to buy is boots, usually get the back for T2 boots + 1-2 pots (1000 gold).

Order to max your abilities: 3-2-1-4

Tips & tricks:

  1. Try to engage with blink or sneak up without stealth (save stealth to disengage).

Arachne

When to pick Arachne:

Arachne is very strong single target damage and is a really good chaser. She doesn’t contribute with anything in teamfights and I don’t really see her viable in competitive. But if you want to play her ranked/casuals you can stomp due to your strong single target dmg.

What to build?

Starter: 
Assassin's blessing + T1 mace + 2 HP pots + 1 Multi pot. Usually start beads.

Next thing you want to buy is boots, usually get the back for T2 boots + 1-2 pots (1000 gold).

Normal build:

  • Can skip Hastened Katana (especially if behind) and get Heartseeker/Magi’s Cloak (to survive).
  • Can go Titans Bane over Qins/Ody. If really far ahead and lack of enemy anti heal, you can get Bloodforge as well as 5th or 6th item.

What abilities to level?

First five spells to level:

  1. Level your 3 (3 spiders can be put)
  2. Level your 1 (Good sustain and damage)
  3. Level your 2 (Stun + AS)
  4. Level your 1 (Better sustain and damage)
  5. Level your 4 (Pretty good for (dis)engage)

Order to max your abilities: 1-3-2-4

Tips & tricks:

  • You can use your 1 and 2 in your ultimate. And make it ready for landing.
  • You can put 3 webs, but have more spiders alive, especially important when you start Speed with 1 net and 2 at back camps, use the spell again to spawn more spiders.

Awilix

When to pick Awilix:

She is very strong single target. She works really well against gods with jumps/leaps. She is really bad into Geb. Usually only works as a counter pick.

What to build?

Starter: 
Assassin's blessing + T1 mace + 2 HP pots + 1 Multi pot. Usually start beads.

Next thing you want to buy is boots, usually get the back for T2 boots + 1-2 pots (1000 gold).

Relics:

  • First relic: Beads
  • Second relic: Blink

What you should have for late game:

  • Just a lot of power.

Normal Build:

  • Look to get Brawlers instead of Masamune (can build brawlers as 1st if you really need it).
  • Magi’s or Mantle of Discord is always good.
  • If you’re not against a tanky lineup, you can get Hydra’s Lament or Jotunns (more CDR for ultimates).
  • Late game Crusher is not the best item, and be traded out for Hydras Lament or Titans/Bloodforge.

What abilities to level?

First five spells to level:

  1. Level your 2 (Max dmg)
  2. Level your 3 (Knock up)
  3. Level your 2 (CAN LEVEL 1 as well, but this is best for jungle clear)
  4. Level your 1 (CAN LEVEL 2 as well, (dis)engage).
  5. Level your 4 (Ultimate.. Ba dum tsh)

Order to max your abilities: 2-3-4-1

Tips & tricks:

  • Her ultimates only works on knocked up targets. Can use ultimate to push objectives (attack speed).
  • Can dismount (still loses mana).
  • Feather Step can be used to dodge abilities (immune frame)
  • Use your Feather Step (2) when it’s AoE it’s does the most dmg.

Bakasura

When to pick Bakasura:

Bakasura is very strong single target damage, has an AoE with ultimate, and can chase really well. He can out secure in jungle early, gets really strong after Hastened Katana, but takes a bit to get online. Once online he is a monster.

What to build?

Starter: 
Assassin's blessing + T1 mace + 2 HP pots + 1 Multi pot. Usually start blink.

Next thing you want to buy is boots, usually get the back for T2 boots + 1-2 pots (1000 gold).

Relics:

  • First relic: Blink
  • Second relic: Beads

What you should have for late game:

  • Stone cutting Sword (Removes protection, good Movement speed and nice power)
  • Hastened Katana (Makes you able to chase down people really easy)

Normal Build:

Can skip Hastened Katana (especially if behind) and get Heartseeker/Magi’s Cloak (to survive).

Can go Titan’s Bane over Qins/Odyssey if you are far ahead and lack of enemy anti heal, you can get Bloodforge as well as 5th or 6th item.

I would NOT build Brawlers on Bakasura as it is really hard to put on more than 1 target. Toxic Blade can work if against a healer.

What abilities to level?

First five spells to level:

  1. Level your 1 (best clear)
  2. Level your 2 (eat and contest neutral camps)
  3. Level your 3 (single target dmg)
  4. Level your 3
  5. Level your 4

Order to max your abilities: 3-1-2-4

Tips & tricks:

  • Try to play around your passive, especially in early game jungle.
  • Eat minions with your 2 so you can spawn more minions with your ultimate (max 6).
  • AA cancel with your 3 (AA - 3 - SPAM AA) - Really important early game
  • Consider putting your 2 on instant cast so you can eat minions and still auto attack (in case buffs are not under 33% percent).


Bastet

When to pick Bastet:

Bastet is pretty weak early game. She is very good at split pushing, and she wants to join a fight after it started.

What to build?

Starter: 
Assassin's blessing + T1 mace + 2 HP pots + 1 Mana pot. Usually start beads.

Next thing you want to buy is boots, usually get the back for T2 boots + 1-2 pots (1000 gold).

Relics:

  • First relic: Beads
  • Second relic: Aegis

What you should have for late game:

  • A lot of power!

Normal Build:

This is one of the gods where I usually prefer aegis over blink (can still go blink though). Bastet has a easy time applying Brawlers on enemies (should always go against healy comps, skip Jotunn’s Wrath for that. Can also get Magi’s Blessing/Mantle of Discord for defense (I would say, skip Jotunn’s Wrath/Titan’s Bane).

What abilities to level?

First five spells to level:

  1. Level your 2
  2. Level your 1
  3. Level your 2 (mana issues)
  4. Level your 3
  5. Level your 4

Order to max your abilities: 2-3-1-4 (level jump over Cats for more burst)

Tips & tricks:

  • Split pushing is very effective on Bastet.
  • Use your kit and poke a lot. You don’t need to get kills every time.

Camazotz

When to pick Camazotz?

Camazotz is strong throughout the entire game, can do big burst, and sustain easily. He is especially good against gods with low mobility and stealthy gods.

What to build?

  • Can skip Magi’s and get Mantle of Discord (or just go full damage, if so get Titan’s Bane or Jotunns).
  • Late game Crusher is not the best item and you can look to switch it out with Jotunns for CDR or Titans Bane. If they have no anti healing, bloodforge can be very powerful as well.

What abilities to level?

First five spells to level:

  1. Level your 1 (best clear)
  2. Level your 2 (most dmg)
  3. Level your 3 (Pretty good sustain and can juke spells (immunity frame in jump))
  4. Level your 2 (Sustain and best single target dmg)
  5. Level your 4

Order to max your abilities: 2-1-4-3

Tips & tricks:

  • If you hit a god with your 1 take the screech that returns (give you power and vision on enemy gods). Really powerful!
  • Soak pools in case you need mana or health (they spawn where gods die)
  • Use your 2 on buffs to secure your passive stacks.

Can switch Jotunn’s/Trans for Brawlers (If you need anti heal). If you decide to go for Magi’s then skip Jotunn’s and get it as 5th item and finish build with Hydra’s Lament.

Defensive Build (If you feel you’re dying too often):


Can chose to go Masamune over Mantle of Discord if you want some MS and more DMG + a bit of defense.

What abilities to level?

First five spells to level:

  1. Level your 2 for max clear
  2. Level your 3 for (dis)engage
  3. Level your 2 for max clear
  4. Level your 1 for AA cancel
  5. Get your ultimate

Start with your 2 - it will clear camps very smoothly, you just need to do 1 AA on small creeps, and the 2 do the rest!
Level your escape/engage in level 2.
Order to level: 2-1-4-3 (level ult over your 3)

Tips & tricks:

  • Da Ji jump can change which direction you land from, by turning the camera 90-180 degrees after you use your jump, so you can land in front or behind them.
  • Da Ji has a really strong AA cancel with her 1.
  • You can cancel ultimate after you hit it 1 time to counter their use of beads (because they think you will use all 3 charges).

Fenrir

When to pick Fenrir?:

Early game pressure. Pretty bad in the current meta. He is good locking down a single target.

What to build?

Starter: 
Assassin’s blessing + T1 mace + 2 HP pots + 1 Multi pot. Usually start beads.
Next thing you want to buy is boots, usually back for T2 boots + 1-2 pots (1000 gold).

Relics:

  • First relic: Beads
  • Second relic: Blink/Aegis

What you should have for late game:

  • A lot of power
  • You value movement speed on Fenrir.


This is the damage build I would run:

  • Get brawlers if needed. Can be instead of Titan’s or Crusher
  • IF you need Titans and Brawlers same game, SKIP Crusher then.
  • If you don’t need Magi’s you could consider CDR (Trans or Jotunns) or Mantle of Discord as a tanky item

This is the TANKY/utillity build I would run on Fenrir:

  • If you value CDR on Fenrir - Get Trans/Jotunns instead of Crusher.
  • Void Shield if 3+ Physical (Can get Crusher/Masamune instead).
  • Ancile if +2 Magical (Especially if they have a lot of spells that’s interruptible).

Order to max your abilities: 1-3-2-4 (can look to max your Brutalize if you’re against gods with dash instead of jumps, because you can follow them or especially if they are low mobility).

Tips & tricks:

A little about Fenrir’s passive and rune management:

  • Make sure you have 5 runes when you gank so your jump can stun.
  • If you ult 1v2, make sure you can get the enemy in a good position (try to stand still if you want your teammate to do dmg - or get them under tower). DON’T RUN AWAY FROM YOUR TEAMMATE.
  • Play very aggressive early, as you’re REALLY strong.

Order to max your abilities: (2)-3-1-4

Tips & tricks:

  • If you are in a situation where you can AA cancel you should do it. But it’s ok to proc your 3 in stealth before you ult in.

Mercury

When to pick Mercury?:

Pick Mercury if you’re looking for mid game control.

What to build?

Starter: 
Assassin’s blessing + T1 Katana + 2 HP pots. Usually start beads.
Next thing you want to buy is boots, usually back for T2 boots + 1-2 pots (1000 gold).

  • Crit items and Stone Cutting is pretty good


Normal Build:

  3. Level your 1

Tips & tricks:

  • You can use your 2 as slow immune if you’re getting chased/chasing.
  • You can cancel your ultimate and recharge it (sometimes you don’t need it fully charged to gank a god who is close in lane. If you charge it all the way up, you’ll run past them. It is good to know how much you need to charge the ultimate for how far you need to go).
  • Look for lane ganks (stay behind the walls and charge it).
  • If close to a wall and you hit your 3, put the enemies into the wall, this will give you an easier chance of hitting auto attacks after.

Late game

  • Get rid of Crusher and Winged blade for % Penetration and Malice.
  • This is the build you want to have when you are looking to kill and do blink ult on carries etc.

If against 4 physical you can consider Void Shield or Nemean Lion.

If against 4 magical Ancile or Runic Shield can be very good (try to get it after Crusher).

  2. Take your 1 (dash) for (dis)engage
  3. Level your 2 again for max clear
  4. Level your 3
  5. Level up ultimate

Order to max your abilities: 2-3-4-1

Tips & tricks:

  • Using your dash, you can AA between the dashes (so Dash - AA - Dash - AA) if in position to attack.
  • You can use your shield as AA cancel so (AA - Shield - AA)

    A little GIF demonstrating some AA cancels on Nemesis.

  • You have a lot of mobillity use it wisely.
  • If in scenarios where there is more people try to hit 2 targets with your taunts instead of using both taunts on 1 target (they will stack up and attack each other + you can get a good 1 off).
