How to unlock the Speed Demon achievement in SMITE - Definitive Guide
My original solution remains below for more info:
This one is pretty easy with the right build. There's just a few things you should focus on:
1. Active item (Called Relic in Season 3) - Greater Sprint (Just Sprint in S3): Increases movement speed by 40%, by far the biggest increase of any item. I don't think you can actually get to 600 without it (except maybe with the movement speed buff in conquest)
2. Talaria Boots: Gives you the 18% movement speed bonus all boots do but also an additional 14% out of combat.
3. Points in Merc's second ability - Maximum Velocity: Getting 5 points in this ability gives you an additional 10% movement speed without even having to buy anything
4. Any other movement speed item:
Once you have these things, just use Greater Sprint when you're not in combat (e.g. when you're at the store) and you should unlock the achievement.
EDIT: This cannot be done in match of the day game modes, co-op vs AI, practice, or custom games. Must be done in either versus (non-MOTD) or leagues.
EDIT 2: Golden Bow has been removed from the game in the 3.12 update. It may return in some form but, for now, it isn't an option for this achievement
The following items will help you reach 600 movement speed.
Active:
Greater Sprint- Using this item increases your ground speed by 40% for 6s. It also makes you immune to slows for the duration. Cooldown - 60s. Starts from Sprint item.
Ability:
Maximum Velocity - This is Mercury's second ability. When you max out this ability you gain 10% additional movement speed.
Boots:
Talaria Boots - Movement Speed 18% plus an additional 14% when out of combat.
Additional Items:
Golden Bow - 5% movement speed.
Hastened Fatalis - 10% movement speed.
Once you gather your items and a leveled up maximum velocity, activate your greater sprint and watch the achievement unlock.
