Geb

How to play Geb

Geb is a melee guardian from the Egyptian pantheon who deals magical damage. Top players play Geb in the Support role.

In your kit, Roll Out (dash; recast leap knock-up) is your way in and out of fights. Shock Wave (cone knock-up damage) is your main crowd control. Stone Shield (shield; cleanse crowd control) adds damage and pressure. Your ultimate is Cataclysm (area stun damage), on a long cooldown (about 90s at rank 1), so save it for fights that matter. Your passive is Hard as Rock: take reduced damage.

Community guides level Shock Wave, Roll Out and Stone Shield first. Max Shock Wave first, then Stone Shield, then Roll Out.

Your job is to start fights and protect your team, not to get kills. Move in when your team is close enough to follow up, then stay near your hunter and protect them from anyone who jumps on them. Your build makes you very hard to kill, so you can stand in front and absorb damage. As support, stay with your duo lane partner early and use your crowd control to set up kills.

Start with Heroism, then buy Gauntlet of Thebes. Buy it early so it finishes stacking. Your core is Chandra's Grace and Stampede, and you finish with Amanita Charm, Genji's Guard and Freya's Tears. A good relic is Blink Rune. If the enemy team heals a lot or you keep dying, open the full tool and enter the enemy gods for the exact swaps.

If you own Aspect of Calamity, it reworks Hard as Rock (take reduced damage), Roll Out (dash; recast leap knockup), Shock Wave (area damage), Stone Shield (shield; cleanse crowd control) and Cataclysm (area damage). It changes what to build, so turn on Aspect in the tool when you play it.

Top players win most often against Osiris, Kuzenbo and Atlas, and struggle against Eset, Sylvanus or Hades. Against those, play safer and consider a defensive item earlier.
