Relatively New Player Questions

HELP

Hi, I've been playing for close to a month and two things that have been on my mind the most are

  1. How do the skin tiers work? Ive seen people say certain ones are a t2 while others are t3

  2. Is there a cookie cutter general build for each class of Gods like assassin, hunter, mage and so on?

Thanks!

This is a general guide to skin tiers.

This is your best bet for builds. There are cookie cutter builds for some classes, but not all. The builds on that website are not all perfect, but they work.

Not necessarily a cookie cutter exact build, but this is generally what you would want to get on a god of each role/class most of the time:

Ability Based Mage (Scylla, Janus, Isis, Poseidon): Power, Penetration, and more power. Occasionally some CDR.

Example build for Scylla: Shoes of The Magi, Book of Thoth, Obsidian Shard, Polynomicon. Rod of Tahuti, Soul Reaver

Hunters (Hou Yi, Rama, Apollo): Attack Speed, Power, Penetration, and some Lifesteal. Occasionally some Crit.

Example build for Apollo: Throwing Dagger, Warrior Tabi, Ichaival, Asi, Qin's Sais, Rage, Sell Throwing Dagger for Malice, Sell Rage for Deathbringer lategame.

Supports/Guardians (Athena, Ymir, Geb, Khepri): Defenses, Health, Cooldown Reduction.

Example build for Athena: Watchers Gift starter, boots into Travelers Shoes, Hide of the Urchin, Breastplate of Valor, Bulwark of Hope/Pestilence, Spirit Robe/Winged Blade/Midguardian Mail (your last 2 can be any combination of the last 4 items.) Late game sell Valor for Mantle of Discord.

Assassins are hard as they vary heavily, there are 2 common builds for different types though.

Ability Based Power (Thanatos, Thor, Bastet): Warrior Tabi, Breastplate of Valor, Jotunns Wrath, Bulwark of Hope, 2 situational items.

Auto Attack Based (Kali, Bakasura): Warrior Tabi, Hastened Fatalis, Qin's Sais, Ichaival, Stone Cutting Sword, Titan's Bane.

Warriors (Bellona, Tyr, Vamana) Defenses, some power, Cooldown Reduction

Example build for Tyr: Bluestone Starter, Warrior Tabi, Breastplate of Valor, Bulwark of Hope/Pestilence, Jotunn's Wrath, Hide of The Urchin, Titan's Bane/Spirit Robe, Late game sell Jotunn's Wrath for Mantle of Discord.
