Ao Kuang In-Depth Guide | Builds, Abilities, Tips n Tricks • SMITE 

Thank u

I actually like that idea. Ao is hard to Balance but it would work well with his passive too. Maybe you can nerf the damage a bit in turn

That would also give him a way to pop magi's for his ult, right? Or does cripple not count as hard cc?

Quit letting them know there getting executedthats stupid asf

Glad you enjoyed. I feel like "his 3 was a basic attack" wouldn't suffice for a lot of people on why it changed his playstyle so drastically from one change. It's important to understand why your god builds the way they do not just how to build them, and explaining how he worked in the past and why it's now different can help with learning the fundamentals of items not just a set build.

Literally have a video from years ago promoting ao kuang solo. For guides I specifically only list 'long-term viable' roles for the God to not give false info if it immediately falls out of the meta in 2 months which often happens.

Bro I almost exclusively play Ao in solo, I don’t understand how people haven’t picked up on how nuts he is. Just play safe early and stop through mid and late

@@Inters3ct I’m just promoting Ao Kuang solo in the comments, your Ao Kuang solo video is literally the reason I play him in solo haha so thank you for that

no

He is incredible strong.

@@darkerthanblack8897 I remember when I first started playing I saw this God everywhere and he annihilated me and my team. Now I have a grudge against him though I've gotten so much better at the game... I want my rematch

@@aminenamga8548 yeah some gods aren't played at all.

It's no longer a basic attack, does not proc any basic attack item effects. They custom coded it to still work with his dragons after they changed it to not be a basic attack anymore.

@@Inters3ct Yeah thats what i tought. So you can still go Soul Reaver,Etheral and instead of Poly you get the Dragon Dmg.

@@HansPeter-iv9ck No he had the dragon before the nerf, that didn't change. Only Polynomicon. But trust me, that's a huuuge nerf.

Kali's attack chain is 1/0.5/0.5, you're mistaken there. Also you only get one proc of poly per target when you actually think about it as Ao since you do 2 into 3 then start basic attacking, finish with Ult. It is a similar concept as Hydra's and I dislike it for the same reason. I never said they functioned identically. It's just a metaphor to explain my thoughts on Ao with poly

@@Inters3ct no I know you weren’t saying they were identical I’m just saying the reasons are different, kali you’re better off just going shredder like you said because you’re not going to really be auto canceling enough for hydras to be worth it. Not saying poly is the move on ao but it’s much better on ao than hydras is on kali. I understand what you were saying bro lol. Also can’t you get poly procs off of the reuse of ao’s stealth and his dragons? You stealth auto proc dragons auto a few times maybe use the cone auto and dump the dragons on them and auto. Not specifically in that order it’s been a while since I played ao but I’m pretty sure you can proc Polly off of the reuse of both of those abilities making it have a lot more value than the average god. Could be wrong though. As I said I usually don’t use poly on him anyway I was just making the case that it can be good on him whereas hydras on kali just isn’t the move

@@Inters3ct also yeah I was wrong about her chain idk

@@unknownmlg4041 in theory you can maximize poly but do you really want to stealth to engage, wasting your only defensive mobility, then do random autos before even doing your actual damage. In practice you'll just die a lot of the time trying to do that. You literally need to shred them in seconds or have a plan to get out before everyone dunks on you. Also no, Poly only procs once per ability, doesn't matter if you refire it or have multiple casts.

@@unknownmlg4041 and Kali actually has way better AA cancels than Ao. It's just that, like Ao, she works better with a shredder build.

Thats true but youre also just as likely to be saved by a pot especially early, i always start with 2 hp 1 multi pot and i still almost always beat enemy jung to side camps plus i force backs and sometimes kill the enemy jung because im healing 15hp a second and taking a big ass chunk out of their overall damage. Plus, if you did need a little more gold for a t2 you can sell unused pots for 33

@@masquerade3852 you don’t need a multi pot, you’ll back before you use both healing pots and seeing as you beat most junglers to mid im assuming you just play in low elo games against bad junglers, no offense

@@masquerade3852 and selling unused pots still loses 17 gold, which is surprisingly significant

@@tomgraham7168 nah im masters bro, none taken. The extra survivability is more than worth losing 2 seconds on the back camps imo because more than once ive gotten double kills and escaped with 10hp because of pots
