Olorun Guide

Patch 6.3

Olorun, Ruler of the Heavens

In the mythology of the Yoruba people of West Africa, Olorun is the most powerful and wisest deity of them all. The all-knowing god takes an active role in the affairs of both heaven and earth. Head of the Yoruba pantheon, Olorun has many names, such as Olofin-Orun (Lord of Heaven), Oba-Orun (King of the Sky), and Olodumare (Almighty).

According to Yoruba legend, he is one of two creator gods, the other being a goddess called Olokun. In the beginning, the universe consisted of only the sky and vast chaotic waters. Olorun had dominion over the sky, and Olokun, over the vast watery depths. At this point, there were many gods, but none of them were as strong or wise as Olorun.

Although humans do not worship Olorun directly (as there are no sacred areas of worship). Olorun is distant, and does not partake in human rituals. There are no shrines or sacrifices dedicated directly to him, although followers can send prayers in his direction.

In SMITE, Olorun is a magical ADC, who uses his divine powers to bring judgement upon all the gods who have deemed themselves unworthy.

Abilites

This ability does not gain more power the longer you charge it.

Overflowing Divinity - Ability 2

Olorun gains amplified Attack Speed.

Every successful attack on an enemy during the buff provides his inner Sun with energy, to a cap of 20 stacks. During the buff duration or for 4s after, Olorun can refire this ability to conjure the Sun to damage enemies in an area. This Sun shoots projectiles faster and more randomly with higher ammo.

The Sanctified Field impacts the effects of buffs, debuffs, projectiles and deployables.

Playstyle

Olorun is a magical hunter, with almost no movement abilites to speak of which makes him incredibly easy to gank early to mid-game. What he lacks in agility, he makes up for with his damage. Olorun is surprisingly hard to beat in a 1v1, especially if he has his ultimate, Sanctified Field, with it he can beat most, if not all Hunters in the game. Additionally, most people tend to underestimate the power of Focused Light, whose Critical Hit Damage is not affected by his Passive, Touch of Fate, which gives him a very strong lane clear, but beware that an enemy god isn't blocking your Focused Light.

Another one of his strength's is his amazing obejctive clear. Olorun's Overflowing Divinity gives him the Attack Speed and with Lifesteal makes him crazy good at clearing them.

The best way to play Olorun is by being aware of your surroundings, as any god with hard Crowd Control and good team coordination can easily take him down, so be sure to ward everywhere.

Below are a few builds to get you started on Olorun.

Notes

Potions

I advise starting with 2 Health Potions and 2 Multi-Potions, as both give you the much needed sustain in the laning phase.

Relics

Start off with Purification Beads, as Crowd Control is your biggest enemy. Upon reaching level 12, I'd go for Aegis Amulet, which can save your life when it counts.

Building

To start, I'd advise going for good old Hunter's Blessing and Tiny Trinket, which gives you more potential to 1v1 your enemy hunter.

Bancroft's Talon is especially good on Olorun, because of it's passive giving you extra power, for more health you lose, which can provide you with your passive without even having boots.

After finishing Bancroft's Talon, Shoes of Focus can provide with much needed Cooldown Reduction for your Utimate, Sanctified Field, which has an ungodly Cooldown of 140s starting off. This also gives you 155 Magical Power, which should activate your Passive, Touch of Fate.

Demonic Grip is next on the list as it provides with much needed Penetration and Attack Speed, all of which helps with taking on the enemy.

Typhon's Fang gives you the extra sustain that most people don't see coming, since it's passive increase the healing of already existing Lifesteal by 40% and also increases magical power. Olorun's Critical Hits also compliment lifesteal, as the Critical Hits give more health back.

Telekhines Ring gives additional Attack Speed and Magical Power, and it's passive makes your Basic Attacks deal more damage, which is an all around plus.

Cost: 12,400 Gold
