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

It especially doesn’t help that arena really doesn’t prepare people for the other game modes. Their different mechanics and different build styles etc. you can play plenty of arena and still be spammed to delete the game or go back to arena as soon as you try to branch out into other game modes

What about a vid for each god, we’re he makes a few builds (2-4) that fit different playstyles

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

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.

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. 👍

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

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

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.

Really needed this, thank you so much weaken!

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

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

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

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!

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

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.

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

Can't wait to see this thanks Kurt 😁

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

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

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.

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.

@RECONSIX20

Yeah that the problem with you dying to a engage ult its that your carries will have no support to peel them from the engage of 3 picks, worst if none of them have a good self peel kit, and leaving the team with one member less its a bad decision most if the you are the one that have to deal and work towards the engage and counter engage, supps are devalued in most cases but that doesnt make them one of the best tools in TF

This needs to be a series

Tysm brand new player and this is helpful to me

Weak3n been on it with the great content grind lately.

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.

Thanks for the video

Good looking for this video 💯

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?

@TheSilentOne93

Жыл бұрын

Depends on the god and the upgraded glyph. Some glyphs are core and some it doesn't matter which one you pick up. Like Thanatos wants Jotun's Vigor since the physical lifesteal and movement speed is super helpful on him but Susano just wants to get Jotun's online at all but you could make an argument to build either of the glyph upgrades for it.

Thank you for this

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

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

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.

Thank you!!!

Played for years still gonna watch

perfect as usual

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.

Thanks!

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

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

Love the kingdom hearts background music at the start

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

great video

Kingdom hearts Tarzan theme love it

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

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

9:37 damn Guan Yu got a make over huh?

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

@weak3n should I buy spectral into a olorun late game

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

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?

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

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

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

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.

@basicname1555

if they are having that be a solo lane i would build it mid since you can build whatever early and deal with it. But if u cant handle the healing i would build it early

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

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.

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?

@Weak3n

The anti heal one imo is the better glyph anyways specially post adjustment as while it doesn’t improve your boxing capabilities as much just having the anti heal is too important in matches where it has some applicability.

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?

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

Alley oops. A cc with damage to follow up really, regardless of which class Slows make it easy for hunters, assassins and mages to hit confirm, hunters always have their damage online since they don't rely on abilities to do damage Hard cc's like stuns, knock-ups pulls etc are stronger cc than slows bs more restrictive on the enemy. Just a 1 sec hard cc let's mages/assassins get their burst damage off and kill or atleast chunk them 60+%

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?
