Agni Build Guides - Abilities, Items, Combos & More - Open Beta 3

Agni is a Mage and choosing the right relics and items for Agni will maximize him power in battle. Agni is a magical ability-based character with low cooldowns, high damage, and strong lane pressure. In addition, he has a stun and a dash, making him a versatile and powerful choice.

There are few elements as destructive or as purifying as fire. Agni, God of Fire, is the embodiment of both of these qualities, with a head for each. Though the source of his origin warrants debate - for there are many tales of his parentage ranging from two simple sticks rubbed together, to the cosmic energy that made all things at the beginning of time - Agni is a pivotal and important God with many duties to the Pantheon. He is the twin brother to Indra, God of the Heavens and Rains and chief among warriors. Conversely, Agni is chief among priests, acting as messenger between mortals and Gods. Every Hindu ritual and prayer is performed in front of a fire of some kind, so Agni carries the words and sacrifices, traveling between the Earth and the Heavens. He is welcome in every home and every hearth and much beloved by the Faithful. Through his flames, Agni provides heat and light, but also cleanses impurities. Smoke from his pyres create the air and hold the Heavens aloft. The sun, a source of fire itself, brings life-giving energy to the world, and his lightning streaks the sky during storms. For all his kindness and service, Agni has two faces. One is the face of kindness and purity, turned towards the people and Gods. His other face, grim and resolute, guides the God of Fire, to play his role in the cosmic cycle of creation and destruction, to burn and blacken all the atrocities of the world to ash.

Agni's abilities and passive

Passive Combustion: every time you hit enemy minions you get 1 stack hitting enemy gods gives you 2 stacks, At 4 stacks, Agni's next Flame Wave or Rain Fire ability cast will ignite all enemies hit dealing magical damage, when Agni kills an enemy God, he goes on a Hot Streak. When on a Hot Streak, Combustion is fully charged and using Flame Wave or Rain Fire does not consume Combustion.

Abilities:

Noxious Fumes: Agni summons a cloud of noxious fumes dealing magical damage to all enemies inside it using any ability over it detonates the gas Stunning and dealing Magical Damage to enemies

Flame Wave: Agni summons a wave of fire, dealing Magical Damage.

Path of Flames: Agni dashes forward leaving a trail of flames behind him enemies enter this ability and take magical damage over time, Agni becomes Displacement Immune while Dashing. This ability can ignite Noxious Fumes.

Rain Fire: Agni Summons a meteor to fall on a target location, dealing magical damage. He can have up to 3 charges of this ability. This ability can ignite Noxious Fumes.

Agni is an effective character for ranged combat, as he has abilities that allow him to damage enemies in the distance, with explosive damage, his presence in battle could change the fate.

1. Strengths:

Can damage groups of enemies from a distance

It is possible to use Agni's abilities with each other, combining them for better effect.

Agni can escape from fights thanks to his rapid movements

He remains a major threat throughout the entire fight if equipped with the right items

2. Weaknesses:

Using skills requires precision, missing your target means having to wait for your skills to cool down to launch another powerful attack

Agni has low health and is vulnerable to explosive damage

It requires good Mana management, so it must be studied carefully before use

Interrupting Agni's action will lead him to take time to attack again

Agni can deal damage from a distance, however its range is limited, so make sure to position it correctly. However, you can always take advantage of his movement speed to escape from the most challenging battles. He is not a character who can act alone, he needs teammates to exploit his full potential.

Recommended Build

Here’s a simple and effective build for Agni:

1. Conduit Gem : helps with early wave clear and ability damage. although i like sands of time more because it i a better late game item but you need it early.

2. Book of Thoth: Provides alot of power, mana and flat penetration, which is lacking in smite 2 and this item synergizes well with the rest of the build.

3. Chronos Pendant: Reduces cooldowns and boosts ability spam you need this on agni and it is a core item in my opinion.

4. Rod of Tahuti: A massive power spike , i like it as a 4th item to help boost the mid game.

5. Obsidian Shard : Your main % penetration item its a must buy on any mage to help you deal with tanks.

6. Soul Reaver : this item just got buffed making it the most powerful item in any mage youre losing half of your damage if you don't build it.

7. Soulgem : this item boosts your damage and help u with sustain and provide some more cooldown reduction to help you with spamming abilities.

Situational Items:

• Divine Ruin: Build this if the enemy has strong healers

Build for Agni:

This is my main build for Agni which is mix of magical damage, penetration, and cooldown.

• Pendulum of the ages: a good starter with mix of damage and cooldown and mana regen.
• Book of tooth: very strong magical item that works for almost every mage god.
• Soul gem: gives intelligence and lifestyle which is good for sustainability.
• Gem of focus: a cooldown item with a good amount of intelligence and a movement speed passive
• Spear of desolation: in my opinion, this is the best magical item since Smite 1 because of its passive that reduces your non-ultimate abilities for 2 seconds and ultimate for 6 seconds every enemy kill or assist.
• Rod of tahuti: penetration and intelligence item.
• Obsidian shrad: intelligence good penetration item.

**Agni can go Mid Lane: **

Agni has a short attack range so be careful when getting close to enemies to use his skills. Agni has a fast movement speed, making it easy to escape from combat quickly. Agni should go with teammates who can stun enemies so he can deal concentrated damage.

Key Tips for Playing Agni:

1. Abilities and Combos:

• Main Combo : Use your 2 (Flame Wave) followed by your 1 (Noxious Fumes) to stun enemies and to hit them immediately with ultimate once the try to predict their next position to hit them with another ultimate.
• Ultimate (Rain Fire): Use it often! You have 3 charges, and it’s great for clearing waves or poking enemies.
• Escape Ability: Your 3 (Flame Wave) has long range and can help you escape.

2. Positioning:

• Stay in the backline. Agni’s abilities have great range, making him annoying for enemies to deal with stay behind walls and keep poking as much as you can.

When you play Agni there is a specific combo you have to learn to make sure you can kill anyone vs you.

• Starting with your 2 ( flame wave or your ultimate) when you are about to hit the enemy with one of these abelites use your noxious fumes you will stun your enemy god and help you to continue your combo on him.
• For team fights make sure you are behind your teammates and spam your ability because you are dealing a lot of damage from mid to late game.
• Flame Wave or Path into Fumes for stuns. Use ultimate for big damage or control. Time Fumes for maximum effect. Fight often to keep combustion stacks for extra damage. Keeping a level head in game and don’t “tilt” is key to success! His speed is key to dominating in the game. You gotta be smart with where you stand though, cause he's not the toughest and needs to keep his distance. But if you play him right, you're basically controlling the arena with flames! Agni excells in area control and team fight battles, using his abilities for both damage output and crowd control. His ultimate offers high burst damage or sustained pressure, making him adept at long range battles or chasing down the enemy!

• Skill 2 + Skill 1.
• Skill 3 + Skill 1 + Skill 2.
• Skill 1 + Skill 3 + Skill 2.
• Skill 4 + Skill 1 + Skill 2.
• Skill 4 + Skill 1 + Skill 3 + Skill 2.
• Skill 3 + Skill 1 + Skill 4.
• Skill 4 + Skill 1 + Skill 4.
• Skill 4 + Skill 1 + Skill 2.

Agni is all about positioning, timing, and maximizing your burst potential. Stick to the backline, use your combos wisely, and you’ll be a nightmare for the enemy team!
