There is a lot of sustain in Smite, so in most of the games you'll need antihealing. Most of the solo starters that came back in S8 received changes/nerfs, tainted is the only one that got buffs and its stats are better than any of the other starters and has a very good passive, specially the upgraded one. The only problem that tainted has is the lack of mp5, so you'll need to be careful and not waste more mana than needed, because even with blue you'll run out of mana.
Y10 Pythagorem's Piece
AURA - Allied gods within 70 units have their Magical Lifesteal increased by 6% and their Magical Power increased by 15 or their Physical Lifesteal increased by 6% and their Physical Power increased by 15.
Breastplate of Determination
GLYPH - Each time you are hit by an ability, gain a stack of 5 Protections that corresponds to the damage type you were hit with, up to a max of 4 of each type. Once you reach max stacks of both kinds, gain a burst of 20% Movement Speed and double your Protections gained by this effect for 8s, after which all stacks are removed.
Manticore's Spikes
PASSIVE - When you hit an enemy god with Hard Crowd Control, they drop Spikes on the ground that lasts for 7s. When you or an allied god pick up a Spike, they gain a buff that causes their next ability to deal bonus Magic damage equal to 3% of their own Max HP. This effect lasts 15s and is doubled if you are the one who picks up the Spike.

Void Doumaru
AURA - Enemy gods within 55 units have their Magical Protection reduced by 10%.
Cthulhu is one of the best gods that can take very good advantage from spikes because his fear, his 2, his 3, his 2 on his ult can apply it consistently, so look for that. You need full cdr with Cthu since he has very long cds, except his 1. If you see that they have several healers or a lot of sustain, and you think that tained is not enough, you can replace voidstone for pestilence as well. Just play teamfights trying to catch an squishy with low mobility and run him down with your ult + thorns. Although I think thorns is not a very good active rn, no other active is better on Cthulhu. Upgrade your breastplate and your actives once you finish your build (you should upgrade your tp to lvl 2 tho, once you get your first item, since it has much less cd)

Here you have another build. This one is in case you consider that you are against a comp that hasnt that much sustain and you expect that they will not build a lot of sustain either (something very uncommon gotta say).

You will always be facing with atleast a bit of sustain, so just take your pestilence atleast. If they dont have anything, replace pestilence for bulwark. If you consider that physical are really the problem, go for jade emperors instead of renewal.
Prioritize your 2 since its the best ability to clear. Since you can move while channeling this ability, stay away from the enemy solo in case he want to cancel your 2. Once you have 4 lvls in your 2, start leveling your 1, since its the best ability to poke consistently. Try to apply your passive as much as you can and use your 1 to gain the extra mitigations. After lvling your 1 and your 2, start leveling your ult, there is no need to lvl it before that.
