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

Aphrodite is a Mage and choosing the right relics and items for Aphrodite will maximize her power in battle. phrodite is the goddess of love and beauty, she is from the Greek Pantheon.

In the game she is represented as a magician and very beautiful girl, who shows love to her allies and rejects the love of her enemies. She has a kiss that provides her with a bond with allies and abilities to heal and protect them.

There are too few words to describe the radiance, the magnificence, the inequitable glory of Aphrodite, Goddess of Beauty. So wondrous is she to behold that one look can inspire tears, desire, jealousy, and love. Yet, beneath her flawless exterior resides a heart burdened with insecurity. Inattentive and hideous to look upon, her husband, Hephaestus, unknowingly leaves Aphrodite feeling lonely and worthless. She finds consolation in the arms of other men such as Ares, or validation by competing in any contest of beauty she encounters. At a wedding attended by all the Gods, a golden apple appeared, inscribed with the words "to the fairest." Immediately Aphrodite, her mother Hera, and sister Athena quarreled over it. Zeus elected Paris, Prince of Troy, to choose a victor. In exchange for being named the fairest, Aphrodite offered any woman in the world as his wife, so Paris agreed. However, he chose Helen as his wife, and their love began the catastrophic Trojan War. Now, a new war brews, but this one between Gods, not men. While the battlefield is no place for the fairest of all, Aphrodite recalls the destruction between the Greeks and Trojans. Perhaps, this time, her beauty can be used to stop a war instead of start one. Perhaps, this time, she will discover the beauty within.

1. Passive – Center of Attention

Aphrodite gains increased protections and movement speed for each allied god within a certain radius, enhancing her survivability when near teammates.

2. 1st Ability – Kiss

Aphrodite blows a kiss to an allied god, linking with them as her Soul Mate and providing both with increased movement speed. If the kiss hits an enemy god, they are stunned, and Aphrodite becomes linked to the nearest allied god.

3. 2nd Ability – Back Off!

Aphrodite emits a shockwave around herself and her Soul Mate, dealing damage and knocking back enemies. This ability serves as both an offensive tool and a peel mechanism to protect allies.

4. 3rd Ability – Love Birds

Aphrodite releases a flock of doves in a line, dealing damage to enemies and healing herself and her Soul Mate over time. This ability provides significant sustain in both laning and team fight scenarios.

5. Ultimate – Undying Love

Aphrodite grants herself and her Soul Mate temporary invulnerability to all damage and crowd control effects. This game-changing ultimate can negate enemy ultimates and turn the tide of battle.

I would recommend Aphrodite be played in a support role as she shas good CC by being able to stun enemies with her kiss while simultaneously buffing her allies, as well as using Back Off! to disrupt the enemy team and force them out of position, or in a defensive position she can force the enemy away from her own teammates. As a support she will also constantly be around her teammates to buff them as well as utilize her passive. Build items that provide intelligence and defense to increase your healing as well as provide teammates a portion of your protections. Items Like Stampede, Rod of Asclepius and Gem of Focus will help out a lot in this role.

Aphrodite should always start an interaction by being linked to a teammate as long as one is nearby. She can then follow up in a fight by using kiss again to stun the enemy and buff her ally with jealousy. With the enemy stunned her and her ally can jump onto the enemy and use Back Off! to deal damage and further separate the enemy from their own team. Aphrodite can now use Love Birds to deal more damage, lower her and her allies cooldowns as her other abilities have been used now, and she and her ally have probably taken some damage at this point that can be healed. If the enemy team does enough damage to your team, or they use their ultimate, Aphrodite can use Undying Love to heal and protect her teammate and ensure survival and win the fight.

When in a large team fight try to stay close to your allies so that you can be ready to counter any push by the enemy and keep your damage dealers alive, while also switching kiss onto any ally who gets to low. If you are unsure of who to stay on primarily when your team is all together, keeping your ally who does the most damage alive is a safe bet. The more you play the better a feel you will get, for which ally is best suited to being your primary choice.

If this playstyle sounds like one you'd enjoy, try picking Aphrodite in your next game and spread some love by keeping your teammates alive and healthy while you cruise to a win. Enjoy!

1. Strengths

Exceptional Healing and Sustain: Love Birds offers consistent healing for Aphrodite and her Soul Mate, making her invaluable in prolonged engagements.

Utility and Synergy: Kiss enhances movement speed and links Aphrodite to an ally, providing buffs and enabling coordinated plays.

Area Control: Back Off! offers area damage and crowd control, effective for zoning enemies and protecting allies.

2. Weaknesses

Vulnerability to Burst Damage: Despite her healing capabilities, Aphrodite can be quickly eliminated by coordinated burst damage if Undying Love is on cooldown.

High Mana Costs: Her abilities consume significant mana, necessitating careful resource management, especially in the early stages of the game.

Soul Mate Management Maintain the Kiss link with high impact allies, such as the carry or initiator, to maximize the benefits of your abilities.

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

We start the combo with the stun (Kiss), then we use our main source of damage (Love Birds), then try hit basic and quickly use Back Off! to do as much damage as possible.

The combo with ultimate (Undying love) would be Kiss + Love Birds + Ultimate + Love Birds + Basic + Back Off! + Basic. If we see that they are moving away and we are not going to be able to hit them with Back Off!, there is no need to try to hit basic.

She's my favorite goddess, I love her skill combo, I also love her skins and especially that her healing scales with Intelligence, thank you very much! This Aphrodite is more versatile, it's a good balance between the Aphrodite I started playing back in 2016 and the one they reworked a few years ago in Smite 1. I think she's really good and fun now in Smite 2, thanks for the good work.

Aphrodite should focus on supporting her teammates. She should accompany them to increase their magic defense and physical defense.

1. Role position

Her main role is Supp, but you can play her in Mid and Solo, in Mid and Solo she have to play more carreful because Aphrodite is quite weak to Jungle ganks.

Supp Early game: Don't separate from the Adc, upgrade Love Birds first but at level 2 should upgrade Kiss to be able to link.

Mid and Solo Early game: At an early stage you are not good so play safe, prioritize to upgrade Love Birds and then Back Off! because you're alone on the lane most of the time, try to make experience objectives to take advantage of the enemy, also try to hit Love Birds + Back Off! to all the waves minions so that she can clean them more easily.

Supp, Mid and Solo Late game: Try always to get linked your allies to heal and save them, always try to take advantage of the damage you can inflict while doing it.

Aphrodite is a highly versatile character in the game, capable of providing excellent support to her team. She can both heal and deal explosive damage, making her a dual-function character with diverse uses. Her ability to adapt to different situations makes her a valuable asset in any match, particularly for teams that require sustained support.

Her passive ability allows her to enhance magic power and regenerate mana, while also boosting her ally's damage output. This makes Aphrodite a great partner for high-damage characters, as her support can amplify their effectiveness. With Kiss, she can increase movement speed and stun an enemy if it hits, making it an indispensable tool for interrupting opponent actions or securing kills.

One of her most interesting abilities lies in her capacity to damage enemies at long range while simultaneously healing her teammates. This dual-purpose ability ensures she remains impactful throughout the game. Primarily a support character, her Back Off! repelling wave ability can be incredibly useful—not only does it deal damage to enemies, but it also pushes them back, providing much-needed crowd control.

Aphrodite is ideal for melee engagements and offering crucial support, especially during tough moments. Players focusing on team defense and positioning will find her an excellent choice.

If you like a Mage, choose Aphrodite.
