Guan Yu Plays Like… Jarvan IV/Sion
Lots of Smite Gods have playstyles that resemble League champions without really having exact counterparts. In the case of Smite’s Guan Yu, it’s easier to see him as someone who plays like a mix between Jarvan IV and Sion than any one champion.
Yu’s kit features an AOE heal that forms around his character model to heal himself and his allies, a charge forward that deals damage and slows enemies, with a windmill type motion in which Guan Yu spins his blades out in front of himself to deal damage round out the set. He can be built in the same way you’d likely build Jarvan — a somewhat tanky damage dealer. His ultimate, much like Sion’s, has him hopping on his horse and charging forward for 4 seconds (while CC-immune) and enemies hit on the dismount are stunned.
