GENERAL HOW TO BUILD GUIDE FOR SMITE 

Would love a series of these types of videos. Something I can send to friends who want to get into the game. I've noticed that there is tons of content/guides for people who already play smite, but basically nothing for new players. We as a community kind of just shove them in the arena and lock the door until they figure it out, but this doesn't really work when you're a group of friends trying to get another friend to join. A friend in my group never wants to play because he feels so far behind and lost that he just doesn't enjoy the game at all, and having all four of us talking over each other trying to condense our years of experience into a 5 minute crash course for him is frustrating for everyone involved lol

Would love to see a god guide where you take like 10 gods and show their combos and general tactics using their kit

Good info. Good breakdown of the essential stuff! I'd like to see maybe a deeper dive in the core items for each build per role. Kinda giving an either or approach and why the items related are good.

Man I knew most of this stuff and still came away feeling like this was worth the watch. Very informative.

Notification gang. This vid came at the perfect time. Some of my friends started playing cause of the collab and I've been linking them your season 10 guides. Now this is gonna help them with one of the more overwhelming parts for new people

Really needed this, thank you so much weaken!

This is a VERY useful build for a new SMITE player like myself! Explains of lot of what has been a struggle in matches.

Thank you for the educational content! Helps me improve. Have already gotten to high Platinum watching you. Aiming for Masters.

This was a fantastic explanation. You did a great job breaking down the early/late game items in terms of what value they give you. 👍

I've been waiting for this video. I've seen others "build videos" but this is the one I wanted.

I like these videos. After getting to plat then feeling like I'm complete trash at smite now, these basics and deep dive kinda videos are nice.

Love the educational video as i made these many mistakes before this video now this helps me when im off rolling when i aint jungle/carry

Can't wait to see this thanks Kurt 😁

I like how when you said Guan Yu you zoomed onto Zhong Kui lmfaoooo

I've learned a bunch of this just from watching your vids, but I am glad to finally have a good video to send to my friends who are just starting

I also instantly thought of a paradise when I looked at this, it confirmed my suspicions about the traveler being a dyson sphere; and better yet, bungie strikes again, a shield world! How marvelous. How interesting. How wonderful, our boy is back!

Great concise info 👌🏼

An awesome video idea ive been thinking of would be to show new players of conquest what each individual role is meant to do, this would be great for us to show newer friends to conquest and how they handle their role, what camps they need to prioritize during the laning phase, when they need to make rotations, and what their role is during the late game/grouping phase. This could even be a multivideo series which would be great

Weak3n been on it with the great content grind lately.

Thanks for the video

Thanks, this is very helpful. Feeling lost cause I'm always 3 or more level below rest of team at lvl 10. I'll utilize this and hopefully I will stop being a drag.

This needs to be a series

Good looking for this video 💯

Weird idea, but I think it would be doable. You mentioned auto attack vs ability based for hunters and I think it would be a cool idea to break down each class into sub-classes. Like some warriors that play better as an assassin or a guardian that plays better as a mage type of thing. Just a thought

Tysm brand new player and this is helpful to me

Thank you for this

Literally the best video yet!! And im Inlove with your Elo Hell series. Building a "player" from the ground up!!

Thank you!!!

Thanks!

Weaken I’ve been playing smite and never used a build guide but I knew what I was expecting . I never knew how to counter build or build properly.

Would love to see a video on general smite situations that happen and how to capitalize on them. For example, two man gank in solo happens from their jungle and support, so you can force a gold fury and fight 4v2

Great vid and great info. I don't think it was mentioned but might be worth noting to new players that Weak3n referred to the old %Pen system of 10, 20, 30, 40 and it was recently changed to 8, 16, 24, 32 (I only bring it up cause a buddy of mine watched and asked) Thanks for the knowledge as always Weak3n 🙏

What’s up! Love this kind of content.

Very insightful, hopefully I can drag myself out of my abysmal MMR soon

perfect as usual

Played for years still gonna watch

Great vid. Clarification for everyone. There's a couple of times when he says Spear of the Magus when talking about flat pen, he means Spear of Desolation for those ones. Spear of the magus give percent pen so is useful for different occasions. Both are still good items though

I'm generally the one who does"homework" in smite and how the build for my squad so this really helps

great video

You can have 2 of the final tear for an item, right? Looking all over online but can't find the answer

Can you mix crit with pen or you have to go one or the other?

@weak3n should I buy spectral into a olorun late game

question what do i need to do to get you to teach me to play joust and the arena, cause as of now i have no clue i just wing it not sure wth im doing????

This is honestly the perfect thing I was looking for in helping friends out who are coming back to the game or just starting. I do have a question though, and that would be about Glyphs. When is the best time to upgrade an item into a Gylph? after you finish the item or when your full build? or is it also situational?

If you’re against a Geb or Nike or other shield-heavy god, is it always good to get Erosion or Sunder? Also, I have some trouble with choosing a second relic as a support or solo.

Solid vid

Im a bit behind on the meta but I was wondering are crit builds still good for izanami because I saw just a raw auto attack build on prosmite with no crits

For those wondering im pretty sure he keeps refering to spear of desolation as spear of the magus. You can tell because he says spear of the magus has cdr which it obviously doesnt.

about 1/100 games i would build beads on a tank just so i dont feed. i always got flamed for that. this gave me my confidence back. thx

Can you flesh out your hunter anti heal thoughts? I feel like Envenomed Deathbringer and Toxic Blade are enough to fit most ADC builds. All Crit builds can fit anti heal, attack speed builds with Toxic Blade get so much attack speed I don't see why it's a huge loss for stats? Idk

Love the kingdom hearts background music at the start

Where the counterbuilduing gets confusing to me is when you're trying to figure out which items out of your almost normal kinda rotation, do/can you sacrifice to swap with a counter build item. Like as support...don't want to sacrifice CD or buff auras etc

I liked this vid as well, I never build beads on my tanks I always assumed that if someone like fen or baron for example waste their ultimate on me as ymir then it's a win for my team but it makes sense that me being alive is still probably better then getting a fen ult off the board.

This is prob a noob question but how do you know when to build crit vs damage on hunters? Only if they are alot of squishies?

Love the "Make sure youre buying wards." just thrown in at the end

So, just wondering, what do you do when teammates get upset because you don't copy paste builds that pros do? Example going herc and not getting golden blade. Am I wrong for rushing defense instead of getting GB?

Watching this everyday until I’m good part 2

Thank you, I just got into smite and was always getting my ass kicked and now I have an idea why

Intro really giving me kingdom hearts vibes. Is the track from KH?

How do I tell what’s flat pen vs % pen?

Good video! Might wanna slow down how fast you’re talking however, it makes it a bit difficult to understand sometimes

Bro is the truth 💯🤝🏾

this may be a stupid idea but im a cerb support main and id like to be able to play him in a meta that has hachi doing crazy damage and nem being one of the best jungles in the game. i know alot of it is game sense and wards but id like to know if theres any key items to build thatll make my life a little easier

Is there a cap on anti heal?

Kingdom hearts Tarzan theme love it

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="577">9:37</a> damn Guan Yu got a make over huh?

I normally build toward God's passive. the first 2-3 items should be core, and after counter or anti counter.

I will need a more basic speak I'm lost. I never understood building of this game and I'm revisiting it after a long extended break from it. Trying to play with friends, but I don't even think they themselves know that much about the items and builds either to help me.

Can you teach people how to engage in a fight, because I had a game where my Loki got a kill during a team fight then went to mid lane to clear wave with full health while the team was still in there middle of fighting and we lost because of it

Would you say that Hou Yi is an AA hunter?

This is a great jumping off point for not only new players, but everyone to ensure that they haven't fallen into bad practices and tendencies over time. I try to cover the things you mentioned above to people I know that want to jump into any MOBA and believe that they should always develop the habit of asking themselves the following two questions before they build an item (particularly at the start of the game, and in ALL game modes): 1) How many of the enemy gods are physical vs magical damage and does that make it easy to take a single protection item to cripple incoming damage (keeping in mind that Guardians should always account for this answer to determine what protection aura item options they should consider as early item build options). 2) How many of the enemy gods have team healing and how many have self-sustain via healing and/or lifesteal? Since the answer to the second question can change as the enemy builds items to buff/add healing or lifesteal, sanity check the enemy builds everytime you get ready to add a new item to your build and adapt as required. It's always fine to build a Divine Ruin or Brawler's Beat Stick vs ignoring the enemy team's sustain since both of these items are so solid for you againt everyone, and I just suggest them as core items for new players until they gain enough experience to adapt builds on the fly as they gain more gameplay experience. Finally, I remind them that aura items state that they effect "all allies" within range but fail to mention "INCLUDING YOURSELF". Yes, the person who builds an aura item also gains it's rewards. The item builder screen fails to show this treating you like you haven't spawned and are therefore out of play and not within the aura range but you'll see the proper stats in-game as well as within the practice training mode. IOW, aura items are great for everyone, including the person who builds these items.

“Guan yu” *pans to Zhong* <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="575">9:35</a>

what is build like i m new in smite and wondering for a long time what is this thing, it will be a great help for me if someone answers

Noob question here: does physical protection defend against auto attacks, minions, and towers, while magical defense protects against abilities? Or does it simply depend on if the god is physical or magical? I can't ever tell during the match if I've built the right kind of defense. For example, if you're playing against a Bacchus, does it even make sense to build physical defense to stop his auto attacks, or does magical defense cover that since he is considered a magical god?

Just tried my first two games of conquest. Kinda guy bullied outa both cause I wasn’t very good. It didn’t really bother me but I prob won’t play again. How else can I learn? I’ll gladly play something else

Bruh im over here thinking I got my basics down. Then I hear AMC being an ability hunter just blew my mind lmao

@weak3n do you think running the anti heal DB glyph is worth on AA characters? In my games people are shitters and won’t build antiheal

If you’re in the jungle and let’s say they have an aphro support, would you build antiheal early or mid game? I could see both answers as viable I’m just curious as to what is the better route.

I have 300 hours on smite and never learned how to build until this 😂

I think the biggest problem new players face or people who haven't played in years is the insane 130 god roster, so when it comes to building and counter-building, how do people know what to focus on when they don't even know what their opponents can do, maybe also make a video about all the gods, start with the meta God's (what you'll run into a lot) that would be an awesome guide for newbies

Does this work for joust/duel? cuz even adcs I feel like they need some defense in those modes, maybe not so much joust. Can you make a guide on joust if that's the case?

Nice vid. Unfort that you accidentally mistook spear of magus with deso. In case anyone was confused the 2 times he says magus he actually meant desolation.

Haven’t played in 2 weeks and it’s a completely different game thx hi rez

How to build series ⁉️⁉️👀👀

I’m trying to get some friends into smite but they say it seems daunting. I really enjoy playing support roles of any kind, can you make any suggestions on god pairing for joust for beginners? I want them to have a good first couple of experiences

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="570">9:30</a> why you zoom in on zhonger when you said guan😂

Back after 3 yrs so weird to not have boots lol

Somone needs to go in to detail with the caps. Like Attack spped and power caps from items and buffs, Base etc.

The problem I have as a tank is how do I counter build against penetration? I just get melted Al the time with capped out protections! Do I just build straight up health to counter it or build things that slow the enemy down?

That feels when the enemy has chac Anubis hel afro Apollo and your the only person who has antiheal.

Yea I missed a day but I’m back. Watching this until I’m good day 3

Ok so which boots should I build? Very curious

I played thana back it the day where you could go crit lifesteal and attack speed and trade anyone who didnt watched alot of your videos then figured out why crit on thana was very wrong now i go full cdr and power maybe with bloodfordge a build that lets me ult every squishy i see and make them disappear

Watching this everyday until I’m good day 1

Guan yu mage go crazy

I’ve been playing for years and it truly feels like if people build defense they’re unkillable but if I build defense I’m still just as squishy, trying really hard to figure this shit out

Can we get the a beginner god tierlist??

Guan yu proceeds to show ZK 😁

Ayo what is this intro music of kh1. I know it's Deep Jungle music battle theme. 😂
