I felt since smite just brought back golden blade (golden bow). It would be good time to go over some of his kit. Mercury, the messenger of the gods, is a basic attack-based assassin that is traditionally played as a jungler. He is a lot of fun to play and is more of a late game god. He is an assassin with high mobility and high single target damage. You should want to single out the squishy enemy gods in a team fight and crank them down before they even have time to react. With golden blade. He will reach a point where he can one punch a camp to clear it. late game Mercury with golden blade in your build, you should be able to walk up to any camp and single punch the center camp creep and clear the whole camp. Makes you feel great.

The stunning affect will not be applied.
