Steve ┬┴┬┴┤ʕ•ᴥ├┬┴┬┴. We're imaginary guides to guide you through the guide. Well, kind of. Our master decided to basically rework the guide cuz he's mentally odd (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻. We'll be invading the guide bit by bit and then the internet and finally the world.
And yes, tack Felix Arvid Ulf Kjellberg. Brofists are awesome!
As a side note, no, I didn't mess my abilities up. For my WP Vox playstyle, I rely more on burst and sustained damage, so picking Sonic Zoom and Wait For It provudes me with a better source of damage instead of wasting the damage out for a reduction of 4 seconds cooldown on my Pulse. For CP Vox, I tend to rely more on my bouncing attacks. Plus, Vox is in the game for quite some time and everyone knows not to superglue each other when you're up against Vox, so a third point on Wait For It isn't that beneficial. Instead, two overdrives are much better for the sake of a higher DPS when it comes to bouncing. Additionally, Vox is kinda squishy so overdriving Sonic Zoom on both builds provide a better escape option.
There'll be a really long, excruciating chapter dedicated to explaining why I'm such an idiot, no rush :).
Bonus: (Too lazy to change the ToC) The Ability Path Top
What playstyle should a Vox play by? If it's speed and mobility, then the overdrives of the 2 carry builds for Vox deserve an Overdrive on Zoom. If you're looking for more damage and utility, Pulse and WFI are actually better options. It all boils down into your opinion on which ability should be maxed.

Hero: Vox
Vox is a swift and mobile sniper, capable of stirring up chaos while diving around to finish off enemies. He has the speed of sound while being as deadly as a thunder strike explosion directly in your face. He is capable of deleting entire teams with a single snap, making him force to be listened.
Heroic Perk: Julia's Song
Vox's basic attacks deal both Weapon and Crystal damage. Vox has a unique trait called Resonance. When attacking targets affected with Resonance, Vox's Crystal damage of his basic attacks will "bounce" to nearby enemies, prioritizing heroes.
Slot A: Sonic Zoom
Vox dashes toward the targeted direction. If there's an enemy affected with Resonance, Vox sends 2 basic attacks with reduced Weapon damage at the target. On overdrive, this ability grants Vox an additional 20% WP ratio on his basic attacks for 2 seconds. The attack, however, doesn't work on turrets, Kraken, Vain crystals and when Vox has no vision on a marked enemy.
Slot B: Pulse
Vox emits a sonic pulse that propagates outwards at a fixed speed. When the wave comes in contact with any enemy target, neutral or opposite, the targets are slowed depending on their distance from Vox, have their location revealed and are applied with a Resonance debuff that also amplifies bounce damage. Although this ability can reveal the location of every enemy around Vox, Resonance does NOT affect Kraken, turrets and Vain crystals.
Slot C: Wait For It...
Upon selecting a targeted direction, Vox fires a bolt of charged sound at it, effectively silencing for 0.7 seconds, applying normal Resonance and dealing a trickle of damage. After a 1-second delay, the bolt line detonates from Vox, dealing increased Crystal damage while triggering Resonance to bounce the damage. This ability pierces trough anything. It's initial nuke can damage all enemy targets while the follow-up nuke can't affect turrets and Vain crystals.
The Abilities Top
When playing Vox, your ability upgrades vary accordingly.
It is recommended, however to start of with a
Pulse for the early game farm potential. Proceed with a Sonic Zoom and upgrade depending on your play style. For me, I go-
Pulse- Sonic Zoom- Sonic Zoom- Sonic Zoom- Pulse- Wait For It...
From then on, the priority shifts to-
Pulse, Sonic Zoom and then, Wait For It...
Additional: If you paid close attention to my Lane CP Vox build, you'll notice that I skipped a point while investing 2 points simultaneously on Pulse and Wait For It... Skipping points are a great way to tune Vox earlier in the match. Depending on the match, you can choose to go Pulse-Sonic Zoom-Pulse-Pulse-Leave this point if only Sonic Zoom is available-Wait For It...and Pulse if you skipped a point-Pulse-Sonic Zoom-Wait For It...-Sonic Zoom-Sonic Zoom-Sonic Zoom
The Scenarios Top
In this match, Vox jungles as there was a stubborn Blackfeather...
As his allied Blackfeather is about to be turret dived by the enemy Koshka and Ardan, Vox initiates with a Wait For It... As soon as the silence is applied, Vox Sonic Zooms over to Blackfeather, punishing Koshka and Ardan for straying too far. Ardan Vanguards Koshka, leaving him open for a quick sweep by Blackfeather. A Pulse and another Sonic Zoom, Koshka ends up being Yummy Catnip for Vox's Frenzy.
Once again, this time Blackfeather and Ardan died holding off the enemy Skye from pushing the turret. Coming up again from the bush, he catches Skye by surprise with a Sonic Zoom to cut the gap. He then Pulses to keep skye close and activates yet another Sonic Zoom. With a sliver of health left, Skye attempts to escape back under her turret. Vox activates Wait For It... and snipes the escaping mech back to the garage.
In this final match, the team rushes to push the last turret before they're cut back by the enemy Skye. Vox then makes use of Skye's sandwich position and last hits the turret. Taking Skye out with 4 punts, Skye kneels to Vox's supremacy. This ends the game with an impressive win!!!
The Love Top
As a Vox, be always wary of CC and Reflex Blocks. Without his basic attacks and Resonance bounces, Vox is easily taken out.
Depending on both teams, it is recommended to build Crystal power to further leverage Vox's auto-control momentum.
Yes, we love you if you read this.
XOXO (°◡°♡).:。
Oh you're still here? *Sigh* Fine. (。-_-。 )人( 。-_-。). We're besties, okay?
The Details Top
So this is from the SMITE reddit- http://i.imgur.com/B3SyuYa.jpg
It's about a hexagon chart.
Basically, heroes are divided into multiple aspects: Damage, Mobility, Defense, Healing, Utility and Control.
On Vox, the dominant aspects are Damage, Mobility and Control. If you're curious, do check out the SMITE reddit- https://www.reddit.com/r/Smite/
VOX IS A RANGED MAGICAL ASSASSIN, FYI.

Bonus: Synergies and Threats Top
Synergies- Supports/Protectors
|
|
|
Support Ardan |
| Arguably one of the best protectors in Vainglory, he can give you much more repositioning, damage potential and a hefty amount of utility. |
|
|
|
Support Catherine |
| Also one of the best supports, she provides multiple CC and utility, all while being tanky. She is, however, incapable of protecting Vox in terms of defence. |
|
|
|
Pseudo Carry Support Adagio |
| With an impressive amount of versatility in his kit, he has a mild synergy with Vox. As Vox mainly relies on auto attacks while being in the heat of battle, Adagio can utilize his B slot to make Vox hit harder. He lacks the utility and the true defense though. |
|
|
|
Support Phinn |
| he provides excellent CC while being exaggeratedly tanky. The downside is, he is extremely slow. This contradicts Vox's mobility. If coordinated, however, a great Phinn can always pull this comp off by forcing enemies close enough for Vox's full potential to shine |
|
|
|
Pseudo Carry Support Fortress |
| Pickles with Vox may sound like a crazy speed comp. Au contraire though, Fortress lacks the full on defense to supplement squishy Vox. Without any form of defense, Vox is basically a Skye with 5 Clockworks and a pair of Vainglory Boots. He does, however, attune Vox's lack of early game reckoning. |

Coming soon, gonna get some Runbly/Ben/Fox vids to scrutinize. Maybe I'll get some VIPL footage on druid and other Vox mains.
The Rare FAQ Top
Which path should I follow?
1- It all depends on your playstyle. If you prefer going at it as a burstain assassin, WP is fantastic. If you prefer a teamfighter that actually obliterates after a short while, CP is the way to go.
2- Is the enemy team a balanced one? Early game, mid game and late game. These are the 3 typical MOBA phases. Generally, supports are those with a great early game. The jungler spikes mid and the lane carry ends the game. However, not every team runs like a wheel. Every scenario is different so soak up knowledge like Spongebob.
3- How is your team comp? Depending on your team, Vox can curve and flex to fill a game phase. While CP is extremely deadly late, WP Vox benefits mid-late, so choose your builds according to your team.
Trivia Top
1- Vox is actually derived from the Latin word:
Vox or Vox Populi to say the people's voice.
2- Back around the few patches of Vox's release, he had a 50% Crystal ratio on his Wait For It, his Sonic Zoom attacks any enemy within the vicinity while having a longer cooldown of 7 seconds at overdrive which applies Resonance on the first shot and a longer dash distance.
3- Vox is a part of the Julia family trio with the other 2 being
Ardan and
Celeste.
4- Vox has the shortest range for a ranged carry with a 4.5 meters.
5- Vox's kit relies heavily on auto attacks so Atlas is actually useful even if you're up against his CP form.
6- Vox's Pulse is harder to use that a skillshot with the relatively slow propagation, making it worthwhile to wait until the wave hits before using any ability.
7- Similarly to
Taka and
Catherine, Vox can use Pulse even if he's stunned or during the 10-second shop duration at the start of the match. Taka and Catherine can both use their B's too.
