Damaging Tank Builds for Arena
By Dr. Gregory House, M.D.
Almost no point in being a tank and can't dish out damage in arena.
Can be used for jungling too.

Main Build
This is a universal build concept for Athena, Bacchus, Cabrakan, Hades, Kumbhakrana, Ymir and Xing Tain.

Since base is not that far away and you're not pushing minoins 5 minutes striaght without returning to base, Heartward Amulet and Sovereignty is not actually needed (unless you're Ares.) This is not meant for YOU to have extreme amount of kills. TEAM WORK IS STILL REQUIRED!!! The build is for you to deal more damage while still being tanky. It works best with a warrior ON YOUR TEAM (perfered Bellona and Ravana) or with another Guardian.

If you're the only melee god, tank as normal cause you'll die a lot.

FYI: You may never get to complete the 6th item and this build can be used a jungler's build with the right team.

Breastplate of Valor (rip mail of renewal)
cooldown and protection








Void Stone and/or Obsidian Shard
Protection, penatrate defenses and cheap damage.








but pick stone or Bulwark of Hope if playing against mostly magic or if you're playing Geb, Genji's Guard because you can escape more quickly.








Soul Reaver
"When a god takes damage from your abilities, they take 15% of their maximum health in additional damage." Great for singling out a god you want to kill. if you're using athena's dash attack on a squishy mage or adcthat's almost 1/2 there health then you can use your combo to kill him\her if they have no escape.





Sprit Robe, Hide of the Urchin, Mantle of Discord and/or Gem of Isolation
Gem is for gods with tick damge like Baccus's burps (it doesn't have to be the last item for baccus)
you can sell Hide or Robe for Mantle if the game is running longer then normal.







Shoes Of Focus
Just for coolowns. Auto attacks wont save you.






these are just concepts.

yes i know they're magic item for magic god, so magically shut up. i never said anything this being use for Physical Gods.
Only Melee God.

Instead of Mail of Renewal i prefer Breastplate of Valo.

what people in the comments are missing...

It works best with a warrior on your team (perfered Bellona and Ravana)

This best works with a Warrior (it works amazing with Bellona and Ravana).

Am I supposed to build ethereal and void stone on a physical god?
Are you fucking stoned.

a bit too much dmg i think, take away obsidian shard or soul reaver. void stone and etreheal staff are fine because you get also protection. 200 ap or a bit over is enough.

replace Ethereal Staff with Gem of Isolation.
