Are you looking specifically for a hunter? If yes, I would say Apollo or Medusa.
If not, Thor, Ymir and Agni :)

or Artemis. She is rlly good

well a hunter would be nice because i do well with neith and i was thinking of renting apollo could you say a bit more about the play style of apollo

Yeah, you definitely don't want that (being stuck with only 1 god to play). If you like Hunters, try Apollo, Xabalanque, and Hou Yi. Chiron and Rama are pretty good also, as is Medusa.

Neith's kit is actually pretty similar to most Mages' kits also, since she's a more ability reliant Hunter, so you could also try Poseidon, Ra, and Janus. If you are really good with your basic attacks now you could try some of the Mages like Chronos, Sol, and Freya that are sometimes even played in the ADC role instead of a Hunter.

Apollo has a passive that gives him a brief attack speed boost after building up his meter, his 1 is a linear pass through shot like Neith's 1, his 2 is a point-blank AoE mesmerize that can be used to focus a particular enemy or to escape, and his 3 is a slide that functions well as an escape/engage like Neith's 3. His Ult lets him fly on a golden chariot, so he has a lot of mobility and still a bit of global presence (since Neith's ult gives her global presence as well), though it's more about getting places fast than doing lots of damage.

I think Apollo would probably be your easiest transfer from Neith, since their kits are fairly similar; he just doesn't have the heal/sustain her 2 gives her, but his mez is pretty useful once you learn how to use it right.

For a player who hasn't played many gods as an adc (assuming you play conquest), I would't recommend Xbalanques since his wave clear, which is his 2 puts him in an awkward position in the early phase, and his ult is quite hard to time right. As for Hou Yi, its hard to use is 2 with his other abilities effectively, I wouldn't recommend him right now as it is hard to play with him as he has only one ability which does damage which is his 1. His
Btw, Cupid is great as he has both heal and escape and an aoe ult.
Good Luck with your chice :-)

I suggest learning how to play other roles.

The only role I don't play particularly well as is junglers.

Yeah, Xbal and Hou Yi aren't necessarily good choices for beginners as far as doing well with them right off, but they are still two of the best Hunters out there right now. So if you want to get used to them early and don't mind having a learning curve, then there's never a better time to learn than right now. :-P

So yeah, if they had asked about one of those, I would've given them details on that, but Apollo is a great next step after Neith, since he's both competitively viable and relatively easy to play (and has a similar kit to Neith, as I explained). Other than Apollo, I think Rama and Medusa would probably also be good picks for a next step. Don't get me wrong, I like Cupid, but I like Cupid because he's got a lot of Support elements to him (been a Support main on MOBAs I play for a while now); which means that his wave clear and burst damage elements are lacking compared to other Hunters. His 1 is fine for wave clear, but also requires tricky positioning for optimal wave clear just like Xbal. On the plus side though, Cupid is cheap and OP might not really be playing a lot of Conquest just yet if they are still relatively new to the game, and Cupid is much more viable in other game modes where there's a lot more team grouping earlier on.

So yeah, like Cabbage said, it's best if you learn to play all of the roles so you know how the game works; I just figured on suggesting similar gods initially as a smaller branching off. If you really want to stretch yourself, I'd suggest trying out the other free gods like Thor and Guan Yu that play completely different from Neith. But that might be a bit more intimidating than OP intended. Plenty of options for what to try next though, so I say just jump in and try the other free gods and the rotation gods and get the other free promo gods (Nu Wa, Fenrir, Artemis, and Apollo) and then if you're feeling crazy, try renting some of the other gods. Go all out. :-)

thx for all the help

I recommend you try out Freya, she's real fun to play and really not that hard, it might seem a little weird at first but once you figured out how to play here a little you will always have fun seeing your ennemies health bars drop so fast.

Now Ah Puch is fun aswell and really anyone can play him, you do retarded amounts of damage.

Basically a lot of gods are super fun to play, I recommend you try them out in Jungle Practice and see which one you like the most before deciding to buy/rent one.

(Please don't play Loki T_T)

Ares: Good sustain, his ulti, his jokes
Freya: just do it, you won't regret it
Hou Yi: A lot of damage with the right build
Tyr: Because he's the law and it's pretty good as tank and brawler
Ravana: His moustache, his taunts, and it's pretty good as jungler and in the solo lane
Chaac: His voice, same as Tyr
Ullr: Don't AXE, he's good
Athena: You can go tank and do damage at the same time

In the current meta, I would definitely try out Bellona, Sol, Xing Tian or Hel. They are currently the best of their kind.
