How To NOT SUCK With Horus! SMITE Horus Guide | Builds | Combos | Leveling Order 

Something else to note about his ultimate is that any allies that stand in the circle where you are landing, but not teleporting, will also receive a shield when Horus lands. Honestly, this has most of what a new player would need to start playing him. A lot of really helpful advice! Well done, Duke! Some things I would like to mention from my testing if it can help anybody; You can actually use Updraft into Fracture, then use the gust auto afterwards to confirm CC on somebody if you absolutely cannot let them escape. You will get quite a bit less damage, and they will be stunned for less due to DR, but without CC Immunity, the opponent cannot escape until the stun ends. This is why I think Shield of Regrowth and Bhumba's Mask are so important on him so he can get in and out very smoothly, which you pointed out! Berserkers' Shield seemed really promising at the start, but the more and more I used it, the less and less I actually liked it. I think Gladiators' Shield can be a lot more helpful, just due to the stats it gives him. The extra Defense and CDR can help a lot, whereas even though he has a lot of downtime, I think the Attack Speed is just not as helpful. Also, something else to note, is that Berserkers' Sheild's Heal counts as if you have a Cleave Auto, so it is a lower amount past the first hit. Golden Blade is also interesting, but I do not feel like it helps him enough, or as you said, can fit into a build properly. An alternative which I actually really enjoy is Transcendence. It helps his weak clear, and gives him stats he wants, CDR and Mana, as well as actually allowing him to be quite threatening later on. I've started rushing it after Guardian's Blessing, and so far it's been working out quite nicely. I apologise for my rambling. A really well done guide overall, Duke! Thank you for always being there to educate people!

Fun fact: Iida from my hero academia shares Horus´ voice actor

If only people would follow you in your ult 😩

Very useful, just starting smite and got him because I really like him and his mythology- Thank you!!!

Super big combo in a team fight and is really unexpected is to use your 2 -> 1 combo of course then to 3 to an ally and immediately ult. You're not constantly damaging or soaking up damage but to teleport your whole team or give those who are in the fight a shield once you land is amazing and your abilities are back up by then. My favorite build is Talaria boots, breastplate of valor, oni hunters garb, masemune, talasmin of energy, void shield. Oni hunters and masemune are great together, the closer you are to enemies the more protections and mitigations you get. Talasmin of energy because of its passive over other items. More movement speed is great for his whole kit. Juking so your passive goes off during a fight, getting closer to land your 2, and repositioning the 2nd hit of your two is amazing when you stun and fly behind them during the animation and use your 1 for insane body blocking. Also teleport a hedes into the enemy team, or land on the enemy team when the hedes blinks and starts his ult. They get knocked up and pulled closer every time. They can't beads it either if they're knocked up. Super tanksly feels like he doesn't provide enough setup. Within the short amount of time you have the enemy team under cc the low damage just doesn't seem worth to me. Idk.

A dirty play my friend and I found is using Skati’s dog to close the distance then using Horus’s 3 to fly to the dog then 2 and 1

Buff Horus! Don't stop tell he's king of the META as well as the skies.

Since Runeforged Hammer doesn’t apply extra damage on knock ups like you mentioned, but what about Gust damage from 2nd hit? It has a slow cc and is considered a basic attack (I could be wrong with this but it consumes Hydra’s Lament buff). Maybe it’ll work with Frostbound Hammer too with his 2nd hit? 🤔

Aquatic Ambience from DKC in the background nice

Sweet, now I can know how to play big bird

Nice video! I like to build horus with hydra's lamet and golden blade, it gives him really high burst damage to gods and a lot of lane-clear. It just makes him really versatile.

Thanks was waiting for it keep up the good content

I have yet to rank him up pass 1 as I’ve been too busy playing Ranked.

first rule of how NOT to suck at Horus: don't teleport your teammates in the middle of a scylla ult like how a horus on my team did like 2 days ago...

Runeforge does work for knock ups, just not knock backs

Hey Duke, please, make one Hell Guide video sometime!

Bumbas amazing on him

What do you think about shifter shield with the the protections buff it is getting?

Great video

hey Duke didn't you want to keep your ingame name a secret? 11:20 my man

I saw the video for the most part, and I've played him a lot. His only viable roles right now are support and jungle. In solo lane, he can't ever clear and just gets locked in lane unless he loses farm making a rotation. As far as jungle you may be asking, how is he viable? Horus has an interesting interaction with hydra's lament that greatly increases his damage output. I did the math and the auto he gets immediately after the knockup scales for 450% of his basic attack damage with hydra's. If you get rangda's mask, the scaling is 540%. With just those 2 items and warrior tabi, at lvl 12 with a maxed 1 and 2, his combo does roughly 1400 damage. From that point on, his combo one shots you. An easy to hit heavy cc chain that one shots you sounds pretty viable in the jungle if you ask me. If it isn't, I want to hear your input on it DukeSloth.

Biggest question I have is.. how do you use ult during the early stages of solo lane?

That was close I need to be more careful!!!

Can you make a video about Arthur? Even though I have so many starts they over lap eachother and drop 10+ kills each game with top damage I feel like I need help

Hey Dukesloth! I want your opinion on a build for Horus i ve been having quite some fun with: i start tank ( or warriors blessing for more aggresive), then valor, dmg boots, genjis, void shield, ancile or runic, and then sell blessing for whatever the match needs ( sometimes i even go hydras on him which makes his combo shred). I play all the maps except Conq, so this is not a solo lane build, more of a beefy and slightly aggresive playstyle. Beads and shell is what i would usually get for relics. He is so mobile that he fits a hit and run style so i play him a bit like Da Ji as long as we have a tank! 😅 let me know your thoughts and keep up the amazing work!

That feathery boi

horus best god in game

Teeds getting fed in the gameplay lol

How to not suck: 1) build golden bow 2) play mid

People were bad with him?

Horus is literally rakan from league

Horus would be so much better if his ultimate just would proc faster

Nox is a hard counter to Horus since her ability cancel effects his one and his 2 it should be changed

Tanky build+ Runeforged Hammer + Hydras = Thank me later

A less than 500 hit point shield is big. I beg to differ. Odin trumps that easy. Geb massive. It's basically only as useful as an unupgraded shell. Same for the surge. It's a modified Meditation. No mana, gain armor, no upgraded cost reduction.

Cancel that

Who is is voice acotr. It is defs not J michael tatum

Set and Horus are worst than nemesis

Im going to get reported for going support horus

First

Lol Horus sucks. You can barely clear in solo and most gods just outdamage and outpressure him
