For those who don't keep up with patch notes, these occasional videos looking at items is amazing. The commentary to add context is also great. Thanks Inter.
Thanks. I can't build in Smite 2 much at all yet. Likely I'm gonna need a god builder to properly read and understand the full selection. But also, the item store's category search just really needs to be improved. Sometimes they just don't work, like Dominance not even showing up all relevant categories. And I NEED them to implement checkmarks like in Smite 1, so we can search by several overlapping categories at the same time! Gosh it's a mess without it. (Edit: I just noticed that Dominance doesn't work properly in Smite2 Live's builder either, lol!!)
It is definitely situational. If you get burst down immediately by a coordinated attack, it is bad. But if you aren't then the shield and boosted lifesteal can help you get back into the fight.
Literally I'm like how did he not instantly mention aphro I rush world stone since it also let's you spam birds way more often too. Heck I'll pop my ult just to secure a kill with bird refresh 😂 because 45 secs later its ready
now this but option builds for each sittuation on each role. Ex: OG Support build (phisical defence pref), mid mage build (any mage that wants good damage), stuff like this would be really appreaciated!
I think they did a Phenomenal job with item creation in this game, there so many items that are just “meh” tier that play SO HARD on certain gods. It really breaks the mold for MOBA games since the meta is the only thing to abuse and if you’re not abusing it you’re bad most of the time.
I'm not going to lie. The amount of people sleeping on Eros bow is kind of incredible, If you get an on her with his aspect to start smacking people with that bow, you can keep a teammate alive and solo fire giant, easy peasy or solo Titan or really do whatever you want
Idk if the patch changed it that much or if I'm genuinely crazy but I think eros bow is absolutely insane lol. We've been running it on belona with the aspect in joust and it gives a double tank team crazy sustain. Belona can be autoing the wave and your damage and second tank can apply crazy pressure and tank tower and Phoenix while sustaining. It forces them to buy antiheal to win a trade.
i generally agree about demonic grip, but there are two situations i like it: Zeus carry and Sol mid. Zeus carry because he only scales with intelligence and if you're building him solely for auto attacks, you may as well be playing any other carry, and Sol mid because attack speed is always nice to have on her, but it's not a must-buy
Typhons fang needs some kind of passive to be playable/ buyable. Like maybe once every 30 seconds if you're at full health, your lifesteal can overcap into a HP shield capping at like 5-10% of max hp. Or an active that doubles your lifesteal for 5 seconds and has a 90s cooldown. So many possibilities in the new Smite 2 system
anyy videos on how to get good at the fighting mechanics? Are you able to dodge ability's and normal auto attacks using certain movements?? ie using a melee character against a bow, i find it near imposable to get close and do anything of value, while they waste their whole kit and run away with autos... Its been a struggle, but i will say 10 game loss streak, get a single win going positive im back in for another 10 games Wish you could SEE the items before you go into match, cant read every item and work on builds without going to a website or sum
Never run at them in a straight line. Or away in a straight line. Move erratically. Ideally you want to sneak up from behind them and save your leap or movement ability for when they use theirs to cancel out the distance they get. Late game it's too risky to run at a mage or hunter in the open as one stray shot or ability can get you low enough to be nuked so you absolutely want to sneak them. Unfortunately you are at the mercy of your tanks and bruisers. You need to wait for them to go in and start the fight and grab attention before you go in to nuke their mage or hunter.
Cosmic Horror passive is set at 275 INT for the bonus not 325. They changed it in one of the Alpha patches. Don't know if that changes your opinion on it, but just wanted to correct the mispoken info is all. Appreciate the video!!!!
Yemoja is a big team healer although the heal increases not significant enough to want to put it on her. It only brings her healing outgoing healing to 115 when it’s not anti heal.
The price difference between Jotun and Teko is also massive iirc. Early game it feels really huge, especially if you get killed, or you have to do an extra rotation to pick up the item
Not really imo. Chronos has 5 more CDR and the passive CDR compared to 40 more int on Cosmic. And even if it IS better than Pendant, being better than Pendant isn't a reason to build it rn cause Pendant is also pretty bad.
Stasis is a fun borderline troll active 🥴. Ive used it to peel as Morri solo, but ive also literally lost a chase casting it 🥴. I always end up selling it for Gargoyles since using actives on controller is garbagio
It's for sure a hard one to use, especially in lower levels of play and with no communication which is why I put it lower. For high-end ranked with comms it's probably A tier.
Thank you for this vid I'm solo grinding joust and wonder why some matches I fall off hard turns out half my build is F or D tier makes so much sense now😅
Yeah..... Unfortunately it seems like smite content creators have always since the beginning of time uploaded a tier list at the very end of seasons or right before a patch that has been long announced
Just gave it a try over this past week and I’m really enjoying the game so far intelligence and basic attack focused adcs feel so good, strength ability and hybrid feel terrible imo
Im a new player and thia game is so nice to its players with so many ways to get gems for free. Coming from rivals. Overwatch and valorant this is a breath of fresh air
I got to disagree on the Eros bow, I've built that on my Cupid as a carry in Lane and I've built that with an assault and it has been amazing. I've also built it near mid to late game and have been able to just support and watch my tank go in and fight. On the lowest end, when I build it, I often see around 42 health and auto and you're getting two auto attacks off a second so that's 84 health a second, I've gotten 20K to 30k healing in games because of this item and it has genuinely turned the tide of multiple team fights. It's all about communication. Building it at the right time to compliment your build, it gives some decent HP and attack speed and that fits on a lot of gods who need attack speed. Also danza's clones no longer proc it. It procs on any successful Auto attack, which allows for easier Tower diving and easier secure of major jungle objectives.
Eros bow getting its changes has made it so fucking good on atk speed supports like cupid. If you got a team where you have more than 1 auto attack teamamte, Shoguns Eros is so fucking good man, its actually so fucking good. Sadly a lot of normal tanks dont get much benefit out of it like Khepri, sobek, geb. But its half decent on bacchus and good on ymir. I find it rly funny to use on neith support and cupid support if im fucking around. had 20k healing once as cupid.
Cosmic Horror is really good. It's one of my go to items once I have book stacked and an item or two. Nevermind. They completely ruined the item. 10 cdr and another 10 if you have 275 int is pretty bad. It's good power and decent cdr but should be 25 or 30 total cdr.
35:51 Ideas to rework each of the worst items: Typhons Fang (3000G): _mYou gain Strength and Intelligence equal to your Lifesteal from items. Blood-Bound Book: Have the active’s Cooldown be reduced by 5 seconds for every god death that happens around you… OR have its duration and strength be refreshed while god deaths are happening around you while it’s active. Demonic Grip: Killing an enemy god with a Basic Attack decreases the physical and magical protections of enemies surrounding the slain gods by 10 for 5 seconds. Eros’ Bow: Passive: Landing basic attacks increases yours and allied god’s HPS by 1 for 10 seconds. Stacks up to 5 times.
I get the bug where the item shop refuses to scroll the direction you push.. and I have to leave fountain and go back for it to fix. So no assault unless I want to buy only 1 item for the full match
dagger of frenzy I think needs a nerf. the cooldown is way too low and I build it all the time second item and it helps chunk early game. it is a must build for all auto attack gods (also on Izanami it is broken with her sickle slice and getting the cooldown of this item back on kills is insane with her damage output)
Dagger of frenzy and Necro in "usually bad" is a crime. Typhons is DEF a situational item, Anubis alone should boost that item by 2 tiers lol. Musashis sword is also DEF a situational, Medusa w/ Hastened & Musashis as 1st & 2nd items makes her INCREDIBLY annoying esp in early game. & Abyss Bracer should be at least C tier tbh. Izanami, Poseidon, Sol, Nu Wa atk speed build, etc all benefit heavily from Bracer. Let alone all the other mages that didnt have atk spd viability in Smite 1 that now have attack speed viability in Smite 2 (Zeus). Phoenix Feather being in C Tier should put you on the FBI Most Wanted list, so should Thebes, Thebes in Smite 2 is better than Thebes in Smite 1 and ill die on this hill. Luv u intersect.
Thebes is objectively worse in smite 2. It has less prots, less health and no protection aura for the same cost while competing against OP support active items. Also even Anubis doesn't build Typhons, if you look at top Anubis players they don't buy it. If Anubis isn't buying it, it's not good.
You should read the passive of dominance more clearly. The item is trash. It doesn't give any pen. It gives bonus damage based on if your autos ignored prots. The damage bonus is then affected by prots. It's just additional damage on autos, and 0 pen.
Just got back into smite after like 6 years and I have no clue what to build. This just helped me out immensely. Still throws me for a loop the whole combination of physical and magical damage on a single character.
Glad it could help! Also there is no physical and magical damage on the same character. All Gods do one damage type still, they just might scale off strength or intelligence.
The problem is with these magical items is because the way they have damage type. Basic attacks should always be physical no matter which God they’re supposed to have to get items if that make their basic tax due magical damage, that’s what characters in league have to do when their auto attackers, but don’t scale on physical see that’s what’s my 2 was originally trying to do but they backed out of it.
So in league all auto attacks scale purely off strength? So say mordekaiser would have to build strength if he wants harder hitting autos? Are all abilities scaling off magical then?
@ no characters that are purely physical or strength their abilities, scale off physical power order a Kaiser his ability may he’s not really a auto attacker now when you get to Kale or Gwen that’s characters that are magic but are basic attack oriented in that case they built item that makes your basic attacks scale off of magical damage. They still do physical, but they also hit for magical damage in depending on how much magical power you build with this item is how much damage your autos do and the attack speed is pretty high on these items nashers tooth has like 50 attack speed to compensate for a lot of the magical items don’t have attack speed on them in these items allow characters like Kayle to have their abilities still do damage or heal while still building as which is what sol should be currently, but she’s not.
