WHAT?!? MY MIND WAS JUST BLOWN when you showed the first ability aiming with your camera! How did I not know that?!

To this day I still don't understand why this guardian isn't top tier

D Savage yeah his damage is so good like u can't really escape it because it's a 3 second mesmerize, 2 second root and a ultimate.. u can keep someone in the same spot for around 7 seconds if timed perfectly

MysticGods DCUO well first he has no good clear because even if you use the 1 you will get out of position and you will lose your mobility theres also the problem with his passive it really isnt that useful because it puts everyone out of position and it groups everyone so its easy to just ignore him and kill your teammates and kill him when he gets back up because then he will be half health anyway or you can kill him fast and then you would have baited all your teammates trying to save you and finally i think the biggest problem is the dr he has so many cc in his kit that the dr works the most against him and he becomes even less viable the more he uses his cc the less he becomes effective in a team fight and cc is all his has .

Most people will say its the diminishing returns on CC that he causes. But really its that he does nothing for the team. Hes a magical warrior not a guardian. Guardians usually have something (at least 1 outta 4 skills) to help the team but just like a warrior all he has is damage and cc.

MysticGods DCUO I don't disagree, I'm just stating that popular pro meta picks have leaned towards the more buff or healing picks. I still think Kumbhakarna is a strong support just not popular with the pro community for what ever reason.

I think it's worth noting that if Ao Kuang ults you while your passive is available, you'll simply fall to the ground and sleep.

that's why i love DMs guides: I got my Kumba at mastery VII and still learned something new :) thx and keep up the good work

Diamond kumbha here, 2,4,1 combo is good but can get hairy in a crowded area (minions, jungle camps, body blockers) which is why i usually not always but usually do the 1,4,2. On a blink the combo is usually 4,2 and let my ADC get the last hit, some times a 3 to keep them close if the ADC chokes an ability on a fixed target.

i had no idea you could aim the 1 midcast. thats wild.

can you make a video about diminishing returns? i am slowly grasping what it means but more concrete stuff would be nice

Add to passive that with each hit enemy god would take effects. Ex. : Slow atk and movement speed by 5% per hit, max stacks =7. If it's a group fighting they'd think twice before burning khumbakharna.

Thanks for the guide! Maybe after this I can finally learn how to play him correctly.

Can anyone link to the boots guide for guardians?

If u start a fight in a 1v1 situation with khumbas ultimate, u can have the 2 load up while they r in the air. And then root them rite when they land. Into basics/the 1.

I'm really curious about this. Imo kumbha isnt a really good support EDIT: About the Chronos thing. If a Chronos is smart he can use his 2 to regen health

I don't like Mystical Mail on Kumba because it's still active when you're sleepy, meaning if you use your mez to stall for time until you wake up, mystical actually screws you over.

Kumbhakarna mains rejoice! I watched the entire thing and good think too i didnt know u could do the throwback flick. :D

Kumbhakarna is the younger brother of Ravana and both of them appear in the Indian epic Ramayana...he dies a warriors death in the story...even though he took the wrong side in the war, he us revered as a brave hero...just for your information 😅😅😅

I always wondered why kumbhas minion launch was weird. Turns out it follows the camara

Great, informative guides dm! Would be nice if in addition to them your next video would be playing that god in real game scenarios so we could see the tactics, combos and builds in practical use. Keep em going.

40% cap for cc reduction? I didn't know that lol doesn't show on the stat screen

Soul reaver is 10% True damage while E staff is 5% of their max health AS damage so basically like an ability based qins (ik qins gives only 4%)

Kumbha is godly.. crazy initiation crazy control crazy damage and pretty dang safe

Ethereal staff and soul reaver work differently. Soul reaver is 10% of Max health as true damage, while ethereal staff is 5% as magical damage, which is subject to defenses and other reductions. Not saying either is better or worse but the comparison isn't as cut and dry as 5% every 10 seconds vs 10% every 40 seconds

@Koranthus

20% mitigated is generally higher than 10% true plus Magical protection is not as common as physical in games. Also Ethereal has defensive stats on it which make it a better choice.

What does the term "DR" mean?

explain why urchin is bad by match, i know its bad because its just like breastplate and removes some flexibility in your build unless you want to build into damage but can you explain

Dmbrandon can you do a chronus guide?

he doesnt have a health bar in his passive. he is immune to everything (beneficial and negative) except basics

I've been playing this game since early 2015... Didnt even notice his dash can throw minions in another direction if you just turn the camera. wtf! mind = blown

Estaff is magical damage rather than true damage like soul reaver, still much better though!

Wow one ability can bring neo much thought and complicity

You might have corrected yourself in the video but Ethereal Staff is considered magic damage so it's mitigated by protections while Soul Reaver is true damage unless they changed it in one of the past couple of patches.

The kumba dash is like cabraken ult.

This guy origin is from Hindi mythology he a giant that sleep alot because he was trying to become the king of God but the king of the gods used a tongue magic and instead of saying the prayer words for god king he said prayer words for sleep so he sleeps for half a year and only get up a day for eating

I know that this guide is for high level ranked and pro, but for us casual plebs Sleepy is one of the worst passives in the game. There's nothing in SMITE more frustrating than being in your passive and yawning everyone who's attacking you only to be killed because your ADC tried to go for a kill!

Fafnir counter Kumbha, in dragon form he OS your passive.
