HOW WAS NEITH NOT ON THIS LIST 1. she's free 2. all her moves do some sort of damage while always doing somthing else 3. her passive allows her to do more damage or heal a bit in a pinch 4. she can easily get out sticky situations with her backflip ability AND her ability to snipe from anywere while rooting enimies is pretty op
Im still pretty new to Smite, but when I started, I bought Serqet after seeing her in one of my first matches, and instantly I went from 10-8 to 25-2 scores and it was the best feeling ever.
+Raynday Gaming Great list, I agree with most of it besides Poseidon. He's not a beginner god in my opinion and isn't easy to play and he's easy to counter and more of a late game god. I tried Poseidon and I can say I wouldn't recommend him for beginners. But whatever I am not "pro" so my opinion doesn't matter I guess.
+Matheus Cruz if we're talking easiest mage it's probably Ah Puch. Throw the zombie, explode the zombie. Basically no aiming required, especially with his lane wide ultimate.
Love this list, I definitely agree w/ everything, but if there could an honorable mention, or sixth man, I'd highly recommend Kumbhakarna as a 1st guardian over Ymir. His kit is REALLY easy to use, and really useful to teamfights, you can learn the game so fast through all of the previously listed gods and including kumbha. Keep up with these vids man, I love em all.
+Brandon Hall Just no Kumba's 1st ability is a poke you have to line up Kumba's 2nd ability you have to aim properly/set up because it can easily be dodged Kumba's 3rd ability is alright for a new player Kumba's 4th ability is great for ganking w/ rotations. I'd say Kumba is an advanced tank/support to play.
Irisoi Zilico Erm, you don't have to use his 2 for a set up, nor to aim at others. Just use it as a minion clear, because too many kumbha(s) use there 1 as a clear. And in no way is kumbha advanced, as his abilities heavily rely on position, which is super easy considering his 1 is a MASSIVE dash, and his ult gives you different ways to use it, not necessarily just ganking. I use to main him, you can use him casually and fairly advanced.
Wow, big thanks man! I appreciate that. I personally love kumbha as he is really fun and has a lot of great CC. I also like how you defended your response, and I think you make good points about the utility of his ult and his dash. I think he could definitely be an honorable guardian mention. That being said, I think kumbha can be a very hard God for many people to understand how to use properly. I had a tough time learning him and it wasn't until I discovered a certain play style with him, by having it used against me (to my chagrin), that I finally picked up his correct pacing. He's very initiatory, and that can be tough for newer players when considering the various timing and spacing elements for gods that a knowledge of many gods abilities helps to make easier. So I can see both sides!
+Irisoi Zilico Hi buddy :) I don't think it's so easy as a flat no (see my response to Brandon) but I do agree with many of your points. Thanks for commenting bud!
+EpicGamerBen I think that although he has a high skill cap, he is definitely valuable as a beginner God and his mechanics are relatively easy to learn. However he is also very safe, can contribute positively to a teamfight from range, and is a very relevant God to know how to play. Thanks for your opinion though, I definitely see where you are coming from.
+Raynday Gaming ya, your points definitally make sense but, what made him hard for me when I was a beginner was getting all of his combo's down. and I sucked with him, due to the fact that I wasn't playing him correctly. but now, after being good at smite and practicing, I now know how to play him well, and he is one of my main mid gods!
I would put Neith on the list. She has a good escape for beginners. She has a decent heal so you don't have to worry as much about health. She can root enemies making them easier to hit. He lane clear is really good, and she has an ultimate that cannot miss.
+Ray Jim I think Neith is a very good beginner God, but I think the hunter role, in many aspects, requires more gameplay for beginners to become proficient. I think her root is a great ability, but not the easiest to aim and land on actual opponents who know what to look for. She is definitely in the top 10, but I think Agni's safety, dash, large area damage and stun put him above her. That's my opinion!
+Raynday Gaming Agni is for professionals. His 1 does no damage & a new player won't know how to set up Agni's abilities. His ability set up is by far the most advanced from all the mages. Sure, he's pretty safe to play if you know how to play Agni. If you don't then you'll just be dragging your team down randomly dashing constantly. Your 1 does no damage unless you put it down & then dash through it stunning the enemy & dealing tick damage once you got Spear of the Magus.
i don't know about #1 I've been playing smite for almost a year now and i still have a hard time doing well with agni, but here is my list #5: Tyr (his 1 2 combo does shit tons of dmg at max levels plus his 3 power gives his different stances buffs. Dmg for attack stance, protection for defense stance) #4 Cupid ( first god i ever bought and his abilities are pretty easy to use and hit) #3 Odin (use your 2 then your 1 kills for days) #2 Ymir (the easiest guardian to use. he can do tons of dmg and has an easy way to escape) #1 Neith (by far the easiest god to use because all her abilities do dmg, she has a heal, an easy escape and a unlimited range ult) HM Poseidon (for basically all the reasons he said)
I disagree with tyr. I find him one of the much harder gods play. Yeah his 1-2 combo is easy, but it's about the postioning. you can't just drag the enemy where you want, it needs to be against a wall or toward your team so then get be finished off
NoobDoctor21 I would agree with you but except for the fact that ive never seen a mastery lvl 3 and below agni do better than 6 kills. that's just me though
+NoobDoctor21 Lol no, Agni doesn't have a better escape than Scylla. Her 3 can be used as a temporary ward, and more importantly, she can use it over walls. They're both about the same range.
NoobDoctor21 yeah no scyllas dash is much better mostly because she can use it through walls. agni cant do that. agni's may be faster and it may to dmg but he can still be killed mid dash. scylla cant be killed mid dash because she's underground
what about geb, though his early play is weaker than Ymir, and I can't count how often I missed his 3 when everybody was standing on the same square feet, I still think he's easier than Ymir
Neith is easily one of the best gods for beginners 1) really easy to learn 2) really good damage 3) reliable escape that can go over walls 4) global ult
I started playing this game after around September 27th, I listened to this video and played Agni first. at first I went 0-10 or 0-20 but I can't blame Agni, I just didn't know the game. to skip details of watching this man's videos, I have a master 10 Gemini/swagni Agni with 1600+ kills. this video helps and the game is worth it because it's the only game I've played since
I'm surprised that Ah Puch didn't make the list. I can understand why, since he's fragile and not very mobile, but from a noob's point of view, being able to stand behind your teamfight and nuke everyone in a mile radius is very nice and reasonably safe. Also his ult is a massive area-denial that can easily cover your retreat in lieu of an escape skill. Good video, though! I have yet to play Cupid, I might have to look into it now.
Hey man! Ah Puch, due to his lack of mobility and tricky skill shot timing (something that, if you don't know how to do, will really take the punch out of the character because that's his burst) make him a tough beginner God. Even as an Ah Puch player myself, he is very difficult with a team who focuses him down, and while his ultimate is a decent area denial, if he is out of position, all an enemy needs to do is wait and capitalize on his lack of options thereafter. Positioning is huge with Ah Puch, as well as timing and skill shots, so that's why he didn't make my list. That's at least me opinion from my experience with him, but I do see the good points you bring up about him as well. I think the right beginner could enjoy him and do well - but I think these gods lend themselves to better performances right off the bat. Thanks for the comment!!
+Vidura Vishmitha To master, no. You are correct. But his kit is very beginner friendly in terms of survivability, and helping support the team with damage from a safe distance. These are great traits for Gods to have when used by beginners to avoid being in the thick of a fight as much as possible, and to still contribute to their team and escape if things do get rough. Also, he is a very consistent and balanced God, and has been since his release 2 years ago.
Yeah I mean landing 4 1 combo is pretty hard for beginners.damaging from a distance is something.I would prefer neith chaac for beginners.but no offence though 😊 good video
+Raynday Gaming People say he's balanced although I think his ult should cost mana. That's all really tbh. Then I would've agreed that he's pretty balanced. (He is balanced compared to Scylla, Isis, & Janus)
Agni was my first god and i learned the good combos in two-three games. It took me more games to master it but it's still a great character to begin with. After rocking with Agni, I switched to Thanatos as mid lane was disputed in almost every conquest game
Hi again Raynday its me biwo20 of smite! this channel is going reallly well and i wanted to thank you for that im a great smite player thanks to you you got one new subscriber
Best starter adcs/hunters - Neith, Anhur, Xbalanque, Apollo, Cupid, etc Best starter build - Warrior Tabi, Devours Gauntlet, Executioner, Hastened Fatalis, Deathbringer, & Rage Best starter mages - Zeus, Janus, & Poseidon As Zeus, make sure to get all your lightning bolts on your enemy & read up on his abilities (His three makes your lightning bolt stacks on him explode) As Janus, make sure to place your portal under your enemy & then use unstable vortex while they're falling. His portal can also be used as an escape As Poseidon, cripple your enemy with his whirlpool & then release the Kraken. Best starter build - Shoes of Focus, Warlock's Sash, Chronos Pendant(or) Breastplate of Valor, Gem of Isolation, Rod of Tahudi, & Spear of the Magus (or) Soul Reaver Hopefully, this helped. Make sure to look up on the gods abilities/watch a video before you try them out m8.
I think this is a really valuable comment, man. Thanks for adding this great information for others to learn, especially the build aspect for newer players. I disagree with some of your Mage choices, but overall it's good advice. I however couldn't understand your comment at the end. Are you suggesting I don't know how Zeus' detonate works? Or Janus portal? I couldn't exactly tell but if that WAS the case, I'd like to let you know I'm very away of what each one of the gods kits do that you mentioned, and that I played in the video. I actually mention the exact same thing in my video. But if it was just advice to newer players - then yes! Totally think they should look up builds, gameplay videos etc. before trying them out in order to jumpstart their learning curve :) thanks for your thorough comment!
+Raynday Gaming Naw, just posted that for new players when they're viewing the video comments. Also, current build I placed for adcs is outdated Start: Throwing dagger, 2 health & 1 mana (sell throwing dagger later on) End: Warrior Tabi, Transcendence, Asi, Qins Sais, Titan's Bane, & Hastened Fatalis
As a beginner, I was given 10 gods to start with. They were Ares, Artemis, Bellona, Guan Yu, Kukulkan, Neith, Nemesis, Ra, Thor, and Ymir. As a beginner, I lost every match I was in regardless which character I played. I finally got my first win when I played Guan Yu for the first time. But the next match I played Guan Yu, I lost. So It's pretty obvious that I suck at this game. I now have 16 gods with the addition of Jormungandr, Agni, Aphrodite, Cupid, Hades, and Sun Wukong. I got my second win with Aphrodite. After a week of playing this game I've only had 2 wins. I don't know if I want to continue playing. I need more advice.
I started off with Hel. I have this weird thing where when I start a game I choose one of the harder character and do okay, but when I touch an "easy" character, I end uo beaming terrible at the character. Its so weird
Reign x same.. hel is easy for me to play but i suck ass with kukulkan the hunters on this list are okay for me but that is because i am a hunter main.. i have izanami, medusa and neith X and am currently working on jing wei.. i’m also okay with poseidon...
i totally agree with your list, but i think there has to be a tank in there as well. Not only because tanks are important to win the game, but some of them are also easy to play. For example Chaac is great for beginners. He has really good clear, sustain because of passive/3 and his ulti is really hard to miss^^. Of course Chaacs teamfight in lategame isn't that great, but on the lower levels, a big silence could change everything
+Jan Ho I hear you man, I like your thoughts on that. I chose intentionally not to include tanks because I feel their role is a bit difficult for beginners, and my goal with this list was to provide beginners with gods that will provide them with the most early success as well as the team they are on. However, good points and I could definitely see a guardian or warrior on this list. Appreciate the comment my man!
U must be really dumb, how are you? 12? NO, percy jackson is a "demigod" but if you actually do research on what a demigod is then you would probably know. For example, a demigod is Eryx, the son of Poseidon, not percy jackson. Smite uses GODS and maybe DEMIGODS from MYTHOLOGY not BOOKS, FICTIONAL BOOKS YOU DUMB HEAD .
bellona is great against players who don't know what to do. I used to play solo and get beat by bellona every single rime but once i knew how to counterbuild, i could even beat her with guan
Against Poseidon, Amaterasu is an amazing block if using sanctuary relic. Can pop sanctuary when he uses his ult, and when you use basic attacks with frostbound hammer, it's hard for Poseidon to get away. That with how squishy it is, and ability to run around him so it is harder for him to hit his basics, Amaterasu can shred him quickly
+draw kiin Haha, not on this list. But he is a very popular beginner God. I find that he takes a large amount of skill to actually be played effectively, and his kit, while powerful - is rather dangerous to use and is pretty much an ALL IN type of God.
+Raynday Gaming yes you are absolutely correct. Anubis is a popular beginner god but it takes some quick thinking and reflexes to get the most out of him. Also he is ridiculously easy to kill if he isnt careful and his abilities are predictable and easily avoidable. Only thing I like about him is cc --> ult and his insane damage against Titan or fire giant with his ult.
+Victornero Sain In high level he is too predictable and squishy so he gets no use unless your only plan is to appear out of nowhere and burst solo the Titan at the end lol
+Victornero Sain indeed. I remember 1 3v3 match where my team stalled the enemy team at our phoenix while I snuck around and assassinated their titan with Anubis. I ate that titan alive with Death Gaze
I agree with most of these picks. However I would have changed Chiron for Hercules or Chaac. Both can build very tanky and their kits are relatively easy to understand.
+BaC0nz Intersting! I stayed away from warriors and guardians because I find their positioning to be highly important to the success of the team, and with a poor or new guardian, I have experienced almost no way to claim a victory. However, you are right that hercules is a relatively forgiving God as well as Chaac, so these are good points. I just felt that these Gods were a little safer and could be played by beginners in a way that would create the most opportunity for team success.
Styx, only if you can bring at least 2 friends along with you other then that. Get ready for major head aches, because of your team mates just flat out trolling or just no cares giving. You absolutely need a pre made in this. More so at least from lvls 25 to 29 is the area I started having major consistant problems with the team mates MM been giving me. Mostly the suicide into enemies 12 times and simi afk and emote laugh for the 2nd half of our matches, or the ones that as soon a they die once in the match after 1 mins of play they rage quit and never come back. If you think you can handle all of this then by all means try this game it's F2P anyways.
This is a pretty great list, I like the focus on teamfighting and how you contribute rather than other factors. Too many new players come in caring solely about kills and deaths and misunderstand some priorities in smite.
Thanks for acknowledging that. It lets me know you really watched the video. A lot of people misunderstand some of the criteria of my points, and create arguments where I am not making them :) appreciate the comment man and thank you for watching and sharing your opinion with me. It means a lot!
I find Ymir to be the best beginner God because he's a high damage guardian that has one of the best CC's in the game. Ymir is great for getting players to learn when it's time to be supportive and when it's time to deal some major damage.
+MechAce1337 I can definitely agree with your points. I have answered this question quite a lot in the comments section regarding Guardians and why I don't have them in this list. Mainly, it's due to the fact that brand new players in SMITE have a hard time against a more veteran Support player and that role is often the role that paces and determines the fight by providing either initiation, peel or some combo of both. I find that a tall task for a newer player to understand the positioning and my experience is that damage roles provide more success for earlier players and for the teams they are on, until they learn more of the dynamics of the game! However, Ymir would be one of the guardians I include on this list if I were to have them on it! Thanks for the comment, buddy!
The thing about smite is u wanna learn the game with a wide range of gods see what ur best at and then u can play anything but ull know what ur best at but it doesn’t do anyone good if u just know one class in ranked
for people looking for melee gods to play as beginners ill say for guardians i have to recommend Ymir. Ymir is a threat throughout the entire game and is widely feared for how well he can lock down enemies and trap them. His freeze is not a hard CC to land at all and the only real way you can miss it really is if the opponent happens to jump out of the way or you have frame rate issues. Ymirs passive and his ice spike path makes for great way clear as well and its good for general harass. And his ultimate is also good for causing panic in team fights and is also good for executions due to its high damage. The only problems ymir has is one almost all guardians share is their easily eaten away mana pool at the start of the game and how one bad wall can easily screw over your team. But i personally think the benefits outweigh those cons. as for solo laner....eh...ill let someone else try and carry that torch. I dont play solo lane much
I agree with this list, but for me I would have said, 1. Neith 2. Thor 3. Poseidon 4. Bastet 5. Ratatoskr These were some of the easiest gods in smite for me to understand and play well with when i started.
+guni gugu I actually almost completely agree with this list, or that all of these Gods would be in the contention for this actual list. If I ever do a video like this, I will definitely shout you out :)
Wow, I agree with all of these. I'm curious to see if Chiron stays on the list when we get some new patches. We all know the pesky nerf hammer may hit him a bit. Heck it still seems to hit ol' Khep every patch. XD
yeah but the thing with zeus is that he does not have any mobility at all, no escapes, no jumps and he basically feels like hades (hes really slow for a guy who floats around on a cloud), and for a new player mobility is an issue because most often than not they will get into bad positions and make themselves an easy gank prey
mate, you don't have your ultimate every couple of seconds, it has an 80 second cooldown, if anyone ganks you in that couple of seconds, you're dead, no question about it, and even if you do use your ult, if you play against a good mercury or kali, you're also dead.
sun wukong is my favourite you can use the 72 transformation ability for any situation and his ultimate is good for finishing someone off and also retreating
+OMGitsJo He is great, but the difficulty in using his #3 for beginners is relatively high, and also he needs to be up close to do damage and I thin that puts him (in the hands of a beginner) in a risky situation when they are still learning to play/survive in game. Warriors and Guardians really set the tempo, and I find newer players have a high learning curve when using Guardians and Warriors and it can really create a bad situation for the team if they struggle under the pressure of constant attacks from the enemy due to bad positioning, poor initiation or counter initiation, and lack of understanding of how to peel for teammates.
Loki is hard dude I'm always impressed when I see someone who can actually play him well. The only thing easy about him is he is good at escaping, but that doesn't mean shit if he can't do anything.
The patches are changing the gods very much, so when I began at the January 2016, the Poseidon was almost too good. The latest patches have made it weak, so Whirlpool + Kraken will not kill almost anytime, while that combo was a killer when I started.
I remember when I was a beginner at Smite and grinded with Poseidon getting the full team in my ult combo go behind all of them whirlpool then quickly kraken and wave, works every time 😂
+Kniqht Edits Keep in mind that one game doesn't dictate skill in the slightest. Go 21/8 5-10 games in a row and then you can call it something other than luck.
The only problem I have with this list is that 2 of the gods on here are hunters, yes they are easy for beginners to use but all needed to be done by hunters is basic attacks so that beginners wont be able to learn how to play smite to a larger extent. This is the same with Kukulkan's whirlwind but I do agree with the Poseidon and Agni choices.
+Reeceachu Thanks for your opinion! I think the hunting is a valuable aspect of the game, and an important role to master. While it may or may not contribute to them learning all of the skills to master a Warrior, Guardian, Mage or Assasin, with very different attack patterns associated for each role - I do believe that these Gods are great for beginners. Even the hunters. If my goal for this video was to create a list of Gods that would support people in learning the game, which in all fairness, is a good thing for beginners to do, I may include a Guardian here and swap out one hunter. However, I think the hunter role is a very important role to learn, valuable for the team, and a lot of the God's here are very easy for a new player to become acclimated to the game. I appreciate your points though and you make a good one. Thank you for commenting and sharing your opinion. Means a lot!
no, I'm just saying that they are not the best for new players to lean due to them being TOO easy. That would be good to include a Guardian due to them being an extremely important role during the team fights, it would be interesting to see what one you include as well. No need to thank me, you are the one trying to help new players on the game so you deserve people to show their support and give their opinions. Hope this does help people so that you get what you want : 3
I think Ra should've been in Agni's place at the top as a god whose kit is easy but hard to master. New players will know this all too well, his ultimate is hard to hit and if your timing isn't perfect you're gonna miss, what to do when a Loki is targeting you relentlessly, keeping Ra's passive up all the time which is tremendously important to not getting ganked. Once you can get him somewhat good I would say you're ready to play any mage or hunter effectively.
It's interesting how Chang'e isn't on here. I found her to be very beginner friendly, having high damage combined with a hard to miss stun as her ult and having high mobility and sustain so she can make mistakes and not suffer for them very much. And let's not forget her ability that literally makes her invincible for a moment and gives her back mana. she probably would have taken chiron's spot if this was my list. but other than that I agree with everything.
+mmomario12 Interesting. I like Chang'e, I really do. I think she is underrated, and underused. You make great points, but I think that Chang'e has a bit of a difficult time competing with some of the gods in this list in terms of overall fight effectiveness. Although she has good mobility, cc immunity and decent damage, I feel that Chiron brings a lot more to the team engagement and has much better survivability with his ult and #3 dash. HOWEVER, I really like Chang'e and I would be happy with a list that included her at that spot :) thanks for your comment!
I would argue that gods such as Guang Yu would be more suited for new player - or any god that doesn't rely much on hard-to-land skillshots or ranged autoattacks for that matter.
agni is my number one God and personal favorite for his insane damage, stuns, and decent mobility. he's not incredibly hard to play as but how could he possibly be best for beginners
+Paula Deen That's awesome, thank you! I'm sorry I took so long to respond but thanks for commenting and glad you are enjoying Hel. I still don't play her often but I should!
I see a lot of Agni players use all 3 of his ult separately which spread the dmg to a minimum. Agni's stun for some are difficult to hit or even unaware there is one. Map awareness and communications win game; less 1 vs more than 1.
Even though mages are typically the most easy to play, you should have a seperate top 5 for other classes. For example I think chaac is a really easy warrior, good for beginners. Cupid is definitely the easiest hunter. Bastet is probably the easiest assassin (although assassin is hard in general when you aren't used to it). for mages i would say poseidon in lane, his waveclear is safer (agni has to be closer) and agni in arena becaus he has a better escape and better range. Easiest guardian I think is Geb. Im wondering what you think
+Maximous Prime I like the idea for other classes and I have to agree with you that this would be an interesting series when looking at all of the different roles in smite. Thanks for the ideas. I would say Geb is probably the easiest Guardian as well, but the verdict is still out in terms of the assassin for me. Possibly Hun Batz? I have to think about that more!
+Maximous Prime I disagree with cupid being the easiest hunter because missing his heartbomb can be a huge deal and it's a bit of a skill shot skill. His basic attacks do less damage than other hunters because his heart bomb is supposed to make up for it. I believe neith is by far the easiest hunter because her 1 by itself is an amazing ability for wave clear and rooting, and it only gets better when you combine it with your three. I will, however, agree that cupid has one of the best group fighting potentials. He is amazing on paper, but not so much on actual gameplay.
I think Janus is good for beginners. He can get out of bad situations easily with his portal and dimension rift thing and his special hits anywhere across the map
damage isn't everything. the lack of a reliable escape means you gotta be very mindful about your positioning. you also need a lot of experience in order to use her traps efficiently. neith is a way better hunter for beginners with her frequent stun, high sustain, easy scape and infinite range ult. even if you dont achieve the highest player damage of the match you are still helping your team inmensely.
I was watching these video when released and I was starting with game and now again. Ofcourse is that Yours list but I don't exactly agree with Chiron and Agni. They both great gods but starting players may struggle with they ultimates. Both have few shots with ult which makes highly possible that u miss part of it, even if aim perfectly enemies may dash/jump off. In these way Cupid is perfect for beginers. I will add for these list Artemis - her stun/slow/root potential its huge especially ultimate it's a fury homing misile U cant miss ;P Generally imo hunters are best pick for starters - you build up attack speed and crits and harass enemies with autoatacks, dont mention abilities.
I would say hades is by far the easiest god to play and best for beginners. He has a lot of mobility, sustain and utility and can really help out team fight with his ultimate. But i do agree with you on agni as your number one. He was the first god i mained and my favourite god to this day his kit is so easy to play but difficult to master.
I'm very surprised Neith wasn't number 1. She's got a giant AoE lifesteal, she can root either a single person or a group and her back flip is a very quick escape. Not to mention it's literally impossible to miss with her ultimate, it's going to hit someone.
I agree with Agni being a good starter Mage.hell hes my first God I ever bought and I use him all the time(except if someone allready picked him I'm stuck with bellona or ratatoskr)
+Cordless Slinkey7 I'm glad to hear you like the list, bud. Thank you for commenting and letting me know. I think Agni covers a lot of the criteria I have set in terms of picking the best beginner gods in SMITE and he is widely used in a lot of scenarios both professional and casual and across all game modes.
As a master 8 Agni player, I would not recommend Agni for new players (although he is who I started with). His kit is relatively confusing and requires quite a no. of things to be kept in mind. He is also mechanically tougher since he has no nuke ability unlike a Scylla ult or kraken, this forces him to combo his ability to do damage hence making him tougher to play. He may have decent way clear (decent due to short range on his 2), a good escape, long range ult and easy to build, he is tougher than say a Scylla, kukulkan or Poseidon. I know I've mentioned her a lot but I would rather recommend Scylla since she's easy to play, easy to get good, somewhat slow but good escape and only downside is being very squishy.
+Dayum343 I agree that Scylla has a very welcoming kit for beginners, but she tends to struggle early game against gods with superior clear (Anubis, Poseidon, Nu Wa, Kukulkan). That combined with the fact that she is tough to play when coming from behind means she could be a bit discouraging for newer players who haven't mastered farming. That said, I would 100% recommend Scylla for a beginner over Agni. I just think gods like Ra, Kukulkan, and poseidon are so easy to farm with that even a new player would have a tough time not keeping up (unless they feed).
I picked up ra as my first God and I've been supporting my team a lot. But I can also play on the offensive if I need to so I think ra is a good god to pick up honestly
Idd have to say bellona. She's so tanky that even a newer player can trade and still get back to safety. Also her ultimate is super easy to contribute to team fights. Bellona seems like she was made to bring people into the game
+Mr.Porpoise t Interesting! I usually level his 1, but I think it also depends on playstyle. I definitely think what you are saying is valid. Thanks for commenting man, and I appreciate the view!
Ah puch is best for begginer, good range and great dmg, he is also good for team fights. Basically all around if a begginer was to want to start off easy.
I think the easiest gods to play are actually neith and guan yu, two of the beginner gods for smite. both have great cc, great dmg, great escape, great sustain. Neith is probably this safest hunter to play while her skill is very easy to land, Guan Yu is probably the safest warrior/tank to play as his escape and healing is amazing.
+dinohazard I still use both very much. Guan Yu, with his great heal buff, and relics meditation and shielding can completely turn the tide of battle, and the cavalry charge is great finisher when the enemy team is in retreat.
my 1st god was Thanatos waaay back in beta, I think it was when I saw the reveal for him and I decided to try him out, man did i suck with him, but now he's my best cuz he forced me to actually read what the abilities did and holy crap he is a glass cannon lol
i'm not sure agni would be good for a beginner, cause you have to keep track of meteors, although his basic 3 powers are easy to understand, his ultimate can be a lot confusing for many people, also, i would have expected neith to be in this list as well.
Don't use agni as a new player. Pretty much every new agni I have seen has just fed out of control. Other than that, the rest of your suggestions are on point.
I am a beginner and kali and Thor were more helpful than agni and Poseidon. Something my friends found very strange is that i mastered Hades pretty quick 😂

Who remembers Loki's ugly ass before the reskin?
me
You mean the creepy old man with the snake fetish? Yeah, we don't talk about him much anymore
mehhhhh
Can't remember him never had time to actually see him. He killed me before I could blink (literally)
+Gray People Loki barely changed lol
Anybody else distracted by Agnis walking animation?
glad i wasnt the only one to notice
+Will Schneids ya 😅
Yup
Venus - that's all I was looking at 😂
Me
HOW WAS NEITH NOT ON THIS LIST
1. she's free
2. all her moves do some sort of damage while always doing somthing else
3. her passive allows her to do more damage or heal a bit in a pinch
4. she can easily get out sticky situations with her backflip ability
AND her ability to snipe from anywere while rooting enimies is pretty op
And she is the most easy character to play in the whole game. She really should be on this list.
I just got my first 200 gems and I'm searching for orientation, which gods should I unlock first.
Playing one of the starter gods is too obvious.
HiopX i recommend not to use those 200gem to unlock gods, keep them for events :D
jonathan Robbins za
jonathan Robbins neith is for scrubs
Im still pretty new to Smite, but when I started, I bought Serqet after seeing her in one of my first matches, and instantly I went from 10-8 to 25-2 scores and it was the best feeling ever.
I thought you are trolling with agni... But no... Rly Randy, Neith is the easiest goddess ever
+Master Xehanort 😂😂😂
i agree completely
+Master Xehanort like
Filip Kurtek I agree neith should be on the list
Filip Kurtek i suck at neith lol, i keep missing the root/ bomb
Got a few list ideas for ya.
* Your Favorite Smite Skins
* Hardest Smite Gods to Play
+Joshua Jezeski Thank you for the ideas buddy!
+Raynday Gaming Great list, I agree with most of it besides Poseidon. He's not a beginner god in my opinion and isn't easy to play and he's easy to counter and more of a late game god. I tried Poseidon and I can say I wouldn't recommend him for beginners. But whatever I am not "pro" so my opinion doesn't matter I guess.
+Joshua Jezeski
Hardest one is probably Hel or Ullr. Switching stances all the time in the middle of a fight can be tricky.
Matheus Cruz I've played both Hel and Ullr. Hel is easy mode compared to Ullr.
+Joshua Jezeski
Yeah maybe. lol Ullr is stylish as fuck though, I'd like to master him someday. Who would you say is the hardest in the game?
Agni's a god for a pro to play.. His kit isn't easy
I believed him and bought Agni, had to find out myself he isn't easy to Play :/
+Kira
Easiest mage in my opinion is Ra. Just remember to stack health and aim his ult properly.
+Matheus Cruz if we're talking easiest mage it's probably Ah Puch. Throw the zombie, explode the zombie. Basically no aiming required, especially with his lane wide ultimate.
+Irisoi Zilico Agree, is not easy at all.
Probably Neith should be on top 5 easier gods to play but still...
***** dont get me wrong please, i didnt mean critic the author opinion, i just agree with others opinions about the easiest gods to play, thats all :)
Love this list, I definitely agree w/ everything, but if there could an honorable mention, or sixth man, I'd highly recommend Kumbhakarna as a 1st guardian over Ymir. His kit is REALLY easy to use, and really useful to teamfights, you can learn the game so fast through all of the previously listed gods and including kumbha. Keep up with these vids man, I love em all.
+Brandon Hall Just no
Kumba's 1st ability is a poke you have to line up
Kumba's 2nd ability you have to aim properly/set up because it can easily be dodged
Kumba's 3rd ability is alright for a new player
Kumba's 4th ability is great for ganking w/ rotations. I'd say Kumba is an advanced tank/support to play.
Irisoi Zilico Erm, you don't have to use his 2 for a set up, nor to aim at others. Just use it as a minion clear, because too many kumbha(s) use there 1 as a clear. And in no way is kumbha advanced, as his abilities heavily rely on position, which is super easy considering his 1 is a MASSIVE dash, and his ult gives you different ways to use it, not necessarily just ganking. I use to main him, you can use him casually and fairly advanced.
Wow, big thanks man! I appreciate that. I personally love kumbha as he is really fun and has a lot of great CC. I also like how you defended your response, and I think you make good points about the utility of his ult and his dash. I think he could definitely be an honorable guardian mention. That being said, I think kumbha can be a very hard God for many people to understand how to use properly. I had a tough time learning him and it wasn't until I discovered a certain play style with him, by having it used against me (to my chagrin), that I finally picked up his correct pacing. He's very initiatory, and that can be tough for newer players when considering the various timing and spacing elements for gods that a knowledge of many gods abilities helps to make easier. So I can see both sides!
+Irisoi Zilico Hi buddy :) I don't think it's so easy as a flat no (see my response to Brandon) but I do agree with many of your points. Thanks for commenting bud!
Raynday Gaming Hey, thanks to you to man, keep up w/ your awesome work man. :)
I wouldnt recommend agni for beginners but I do recommend him for the more skilled players
+EpicGamerBen I think that although he has a high skill cap, he is definitely valuable as a beginner God and his mechanics are relatively easy to learn. However he is also very safe, can contribute positively to a teamfight from range, and is a very relevant God to know how to play. Thanks for your opinion though, I definitely see where you are coming from.
+Raynday Gaming ya, your points definitally make sense but, what made him hard for me when I was a beginner was getting all of his combo's down. and I sucked with him, due to the fact that I wasn't playing him correctly. but now, after being good at smite and practicing, I now know how to play him well, and he is one of my main mid gods!
+EpicGamerBen That's awesome dude! Congrats on that and let's play some time!!
YA, Ill add you
Also another point is
I don't think he uses mana for his ult either
So... Raynday have you considered making a list of the top 5 warriors, mages, assassins, etc?
Yes, interested in that? I could put that together for sure!
+Raynday Gaming Yes!
+Raynday Gaming yes!
+Raynday Gaming yea do that
Hell yea
I would put Neith on the list. She has a good escape for beginners. She has a decent heal so you don't have to worry as much about health. She can root enemies making them easier to hit. He lane clear is really good, and she has an ultimate that cannot miss.
But it gets boring seeing her EVERY OTHER GAME
TheCrazedBirdGaming Yeah she is OU.
Tru tru
+Archn Scythe Agree completely, Neith is braindead
Neith is still not as bad as Chiron I think. In terms of being easy. Then there is also Fenrir's Point and Click Adventure. -_-
isnt neith like easier and better for begginers than agni?
since she has that root and escape
+Ray Jim I think Neith is a very good beginner God, but I think the hunter role, in many aspects, requires more gameplay for beginners to become proficient. I think her root is a great ability, but not the easiest to aim and land on actual opponents who know what to look for. She is definitely in the top 10, but I think Agni's safety, dash, large area damage and stun put him above her. That's my opinion!
+Raynday Gaming Agni is for professionals. His 1 does no damage & a new player won't know how to set up Agni's abilities. His ability set up is by far the most advanced from all the mages. Sure, he's pretty safe to play if you know how to play Agni. If you don't then you'll just be dragging your team down randomly dashing constantly. Your 1 does no damage unless you put it down & then dash through it stunning the enemy & dealing tick damage once you got Spear of the Magus.
Ray I call bs on that, I can aim just fine, if you can aim with a slingshot and hit a can than its safe to say you can too while using Neith.
I got a Penta with neith on my first download of smite, so yeah she isn't hard lol
i don't know about #1 I've been playing smite for almost a year now and i still have a hard time doing well with agni, but here is my list
#5: Tyr (his 1 2 combo does shit tons of dmg at max levels plus his 3 power gives his different stances buffs. Dmg for attack stance, protection for defense stance)
#4 Cupid ( first god i ever bought and his abilities are pretty easy to use and hit)
#3 Odin (use your 2 then your 1 kills for days)
#2 Ymir (the easiest guardian to use. he can do tons of dmg and has an easy way to escape)
#1 Neith (by far the easiest god to use because all her abilities do dmg, she has a heal, an easy escape and a unlimited range ult)
HM Poseidon (for basically all the reasons he said)
I disagree with tyr. I find him one of the much harder gods play. Yeah his 1-2 combo is easy, but it's about the postioning. you can't just drag the enemy where you want, it needs to be against a wall or toward your team so then get be finished off
NoobDoctor21
I would agree with you but except for the fact that ive never seen a mastery lvl 3 and below agni do better than 6 kills. that's just me though
+NoobDoctor21 Lol no, Agni doesn't have a better escape than Scylla. Her 3 can be used as a temporary ward, and more importantly, she can use it over walls. They're both about the same range.
NoobDoctor21
yeah no scyllas dash is much better mostly because she can use it through walls. agni cant do that. agni's may be faster and it may to dmg but he can still be killed mid dash. scylla cant be killed mid dash because she's underground
what about geb, though his early play is weaker than Ymir, and I can't count how often I missed his 3 when everybody was standing on the same square feet, I still think he's easier than Ymir
Well, that was a relief. I just started playing Smite and the two gods I played the most were Poseidon and Agni.
Neith is easily one of the best gods for beginners
1) really easy to learn
2) really good damage
3) reliable escape that can go over walls
4) global ult
Chris Colbert Neith can't go over walls
paint/Taukis you're right I was thinking of player-made walls when I wrote that (things like Ymir's 1 and Odin's ult)
She also can't go through those though...Chris Colbert
Yes she can
I started playing this game after around September 27th, I listened to this video and played Agni first. at first I went 0-10 or 0-20 but I can't blame Agni, I just didn't know the game. to skip details of watching this man's videos, I have a master 10 Gemini/swagni Agni with 1600+ kills. this video helps and the game is worth it because it's the only game I've played since
but What about Ra? In my oppinion he is hands down the best god for beginers
+thatguydownthestreat agree
+thatguydownthestreat i am begginer and im agree.... medusa and vulcan are some of my favourites too
Medusa a little less so, but I can see how she would still be viable in lower skill levels
under level 30 we usually play joust because 5vs5 is full of smurfs and flamers, there ulti of medusa means 3 assitances or kills.. gg.
thatguydownthestreat Ra is good against beginners not for beginners
I'm surprised that Ah Puch didn't make the list. I can understand why, since he's fragile and not very mobile, but from a noob's point of view, being able to stand behind your teamfight and nuke everyone in a mile radius is very nice and reasonably safe. Also his ult is a massive area-denial that can easily cover your retreat in lieu of an escape skill. Good video, though! I have yet to play Cupid, I might have to look into it now.
Hey man! Ah Puch, due to his lack of mobility and tricky skill shot timing (something that, if you don't know how to do, will really take the punch out of the character because that's his burst) make him a tough beginner God. Even as an Ah Puch player myself, he is very difficult with a team who focuses him down, and while his ultimate is a decent area denial, if he is out of position, all an enemy needs to do is wait and capitalize on his lack of options thereafter. Positioning is huge with Ah Puch, as well as timing and skill shots, so that's why he didn't make my list. That's at least me opinion from my experience with him, but I do see the good points you bring up about him as well. I think the right beginner could enjoy him and do well - but I think these gods lend themselves to better performances right off the bat. Thanks for the comment!!
You make good points. Ah Puch was one of my favorite gods when I was new (and remains so), so maybe I'm biased c;
agni is not for beginners
+Vidura Vishmitha To master, no. You are correct. But his kit is very beginner friendly in terms of survivability, and helping support the team with damage from a safe distance. These are great traits for Gods to have when used by beginners to avoid being in the thick of a fight as much as possible, and to still contribute to their team and escape if things do get rough. Also, he is a very consistent and balanced God, and has been since his release 2 years ago.
Yeah I mean landing 4 1 combo is pretty hard for beginners.damaging from a distance is something.I would prefer neith chaac for beginners.but no offence though 😊 good video
+Raynday Gaming People say he's balanced although I think his ult should cost mana. That's all really tbh. Then I would've agreed that he's pretty balanced. (He is balanced compared to Scylla, Isis, & Janus)
Agni was my first god and i learned the good combos in two-three games. It took me more games to master it but it's still a great character to begin with. After rocking with Agni, I switched to Thanatos as mid lane was disputed in almost every conquest game
Real shit
Hi again Raynday its me biwo20 of smite! this channel is going reallly well and i wanted to thank you for that im a great smite player thanks to you you got one new subscriber
Best starter adcs/hunters - Neith, Anhur, Xbalanque, Apollo, Cupid, etc
Best starter build - Warrior Tabi, Devours Gauntlet, Executioner, Hastened Fatalis, Deathbringer, & Rage
Best starter mages - Zeus, Janus, & Poseidon
As Zeus, make sure to get all your lightning bolts on your enemy & read up on his abilities (His three makes your lightning bolt stacks on him explode)
As Janus, make sure to place your portal under your enemy & then use unstable vortex while they're falling. His portal can also be used as an escape
As Poseidon, cripple your enemy with his whirlpool & then release the Kraken.
Best starter build - Shoes of Focus, Warlock's Sash, Chronos Pendant(or) Breastplate of Valor, Gem of Isolation, Rod of Tahudi, & Spear of the Magus (or) Soul Reaver
Hopefully, this helped. Make sure to look up on the gods abilities/watch a video before you try them out m8.
I think this is a really valuable comment, man. Thanks for adding this great information for others to learn, especially the build aspect for newer players. I disagree with some of your Mage choices, but overall it's good advice. I however couldn't understand your comment at the end. Are you suggesting I don't know how Zeus' detonate works? Or Janus portal? I couldn't exactly tell but if that WAS the case, I'd like to let you know I'm very away of what each one of the gods kits do that you mentioned, and that I played in the video. I actually mention the exact same thing in my video. But if it was just advice to newer players - then yes! Totally think they should look up builds, gameplay videos etc. before trying them out in order to jumpstart their learning curve :) thanks for your thorough comment!
+Raynday Gaming Naw, just posted that for new players when they're viewing the video comments.
Also, current build I placed for adcs is outdated
Start: Throwing dagger, 2 health & 1 mana (sell throwing dagger later on)
End: Warrior Tabi, Transcendence, Asi, Qins Sais, Titan's Bane, & Hastened Fatalis
Very outdated build (I tell new peeps to get Hastened because it's easier for them)
I agree with you. This gods are really good and easy to use but i think that the hardest of this 5 is agni because of his strange type of stun.
+TheBrutalScoutChannel I agree with you in many regards thanks for the comment my man!
Me starting with The Morrigan: Oh ok
It happened to meeeee lmao
As a beginner, I was given 10 gods to start with. They were Ares, Artemis, Bellona, Guan Yu, Kukulkan, Neith, Nemesis, Ra, Thor, and Ymir. As a beginner, I lost every match I was in regardless which character I played. I finally got my first win when I played Guan Yu for the first time. But the next match I played Guan Yu, I lost. So It's pretty obvious that I suck at this game. I now have 16 gods with the addition of Jormungandr, Agni, Aphrodite, Cupid, Hades, and Sun Wukong. I got my second win with Aphrodite. After a week of playing this game I've only had 2 wins. I don't know if I want to continue playing. I need more advice.
its weird..I find these "easier" gods harder to use than the harder ones like Hel
Reign x how ironic
Reign x ikr! nuwa is so not easy god whereas thor is actually relatively easier
I started off with Hel. I have this weird thing where when I start a game I choose one of the harder character and do okay, but when I touch an "easy" character, I end uo beaming terrible at the character. Its so weird
Reign x same.. hel is easy for me to play but i suck ass with kukulkan the hunters on this list are okay for me but that is because i am a hunter main.. i have izanami, medusa and neith X and am currently working on jing wei.. i’m also okay with poseidon...
Reign x i find The morrigan Thot Ra and Nu wa easier than Yimir Anubis and Chiron .
i totally agree with your list, but i think there has to be a tank in there as well. Not only because tanks are important to win the game, but some of them are also easy to play. For example Chaac is great for beginners. He has really good clear, sustain because of passive/3 and his ulti is really hard to miss^^. Of course Chaacs teamfight in lategame isn't that great, but on the lower levels, a big silence could change everything
+Jan Ho I hear you man, I like your thoughts on that. I chose intentionally not to include tanks because I feel their role is a bit difficult for beginners, and my goal with this list was to provide beginners with gods that will provide them with the most early success as well as the team they are on. However, good points and I could definitely see a guardian or warrior on this list. Appreciate the comment my man!
I just played my first match in the game, I choose poseidon cuz I got him from a reward and went 16-0
Amazing my man! Great stuff!
Try He Bo
I played Anubis don't ask...
plz someone tell me why isn't Percy Jackson in smite
Percy Jackson is not fictional? WHOAAAAAAA BRO WHAT DRUGS DID YOU TAKE?
U must be really dumb, how are you? 12? NO, percy jackson is a "demigod" but if you actually do research on what a demigod is then you would probably know. For example, a demigod is Eryx, the son of Poseidon, not percy jackson. Smite uses GODS and maybe DEMIGODS from MYTHOLOGY not BOOKS, FICTIONAL BOOKS YOU DUMB HEAD .
Jiggly Wiggly Hercules?
Cmon man...you're giving us fans a bad name.
Nomadic Raid YES EXACTLY
Bellona and neith are pretty easy to play
and very very strong
bellona is great against players who don't know what to do. I used to play solo and get beat by bellona every single rime but once i knew how to counterbuild, i could even beat her with guan
***** dont forget its your ultimate, only use it when needed
+Random723 Thor too
Hey dad
Against Poseidon, Amaterasu is an amazing block if using sanctuary relic. Can pop sanctuary when he uses his ult, and when you use basic attacks with frostbound hammer, it's hard for Poseidon to get away. That with how squishy it is, and ability to run around him so it is harder for him to hit his basics, Amaterasu can shred him quickly
No ANoobis
+draw kiin Haha, not on this list. But he is a very popular beginner God. I find that he takes a large amount of skill to actually be played effectively, and his kit, while powerful - is rather dangerous to use and is pretty much an ALL IN type of God.
+Raynday Gaming yes you are absolutely correct. Anubis is a popular beginner god but it takes some quick thinking and reflexes to get the most out of him. Also he is ridiculously easy to kill if he isnt careful and his abilities are predictable and easily avoidable. Only thing I like about him is cc --> ult and his insane damage against Titan or fire giant with his ult.
+Victornero Sain In high level he is too predictable and squishy so he gets no use unless your only plan is to appear out of nowhere and burst solo the Titan at the end lol
+Victornero Sain indeed. I remember 1 3v3 match where my team stalled the enemy team at our phoenix while I snuck around and assassinated their titan with Anubis. I ate that titan alive with Death Gaze
+Raynday Gaming would Chang'e be a good goddess to play if your new to the game
Im very new to smite and appreciate these relevant videos for beginners.
All the other are 2+ years old
You said number 2 isn't number 1 because he has to get near the enemy to be good but then U put number 1 as agni?? Smh
I agree with most of these picks. However I would have changed Chiron for Hercules or Chaac. Both can build very tanky and their kits are relatively easy to understand.
+BaC0nz Intersting! I stayed away from warriors and guardians because I find their positioning to be highly important to the success of the team, and with a poor or new guardian, I have experienced almost no way to claim a victory. However, you are right that hercules is a relatively forgiving God as well as Chaac, so these are good points. I just felt that these Gods were a little safer and could be played by beginners in a way that would create the most opportunity for team success.
is this game worth a try?
absolutely!
STYX NAVYclam heck yes
STYX NAVYclam no
Styx, only if you can bring at least 2 friends along with you other then that. Get ready for major head aches, because of your team mates just flat out trolling or just no cares giving. You absolutely need a pre made in this. More so at least from lvls 25 to 29 is the area I started having major consistant problems with the team mates MM been giving me. Mostly the suicide into enemies 12 times and simi afk and emote laugh for the 2nd half of our matches, or the ones that as soon a they die once in the match after 1 mins of play they rage quit and never come back. If you think you can handle all of this then by all means try this game it's F2P anyways.
If you can't handle toxic players go play singleplayer games, you fucking casual.
Thanks for this guide. I definitely going to try Cupid. Poseidon is pretty fun to play too.
I would say n1 should be Neith. ;D
+Ernestas Jocas me too
+Joseph Palidar definitely
definitely she's in the beginners tutorial
This is a pretty great list, I like the focus on teamfighting and how you contribute rather than other factors.
Too many new players come in caring solely about kills and deaths and misunderstand some priorities in smite.
Thanks for acknowledging that. It lets me know you really watched the video. A lot of people misunderstand some of the criteria of my points, and create arguments where I am not making them :) appreciate the comment man and thank you for watching and sharing your opinion with me. It means a lot!
Im happy you didn't put Loki in there XD
If he do,the world would be doomed
I find Ymir to be the best beginner God because he's a high damage guardian that has one of the best CC's in the game. Ymir is great for getting players to learn when it's time to be supportive and when it's time to deal some major damage.
+MechAce1337 I can definitely agree with your points. I have answered this question quite a lot in the comments section regarding Guardians and why I don't have them in this list. Mainly, it's due to the fact that brand new players in SMITE have a hard time against a more veteran Support player and that role is often the role that paces and determines the fight by providing either initiation, peel or some combo of both. I find that a tall task for a newer player to understand the positioning and my experience is that damage roles provide more success for earlier players and for the teams they are on, until they learn more of the dynamics of the game! However, Ymir would be one of the guardians I include on this list if I were to have them on it! Thanks for the comment, buddy!
wheres Neith?
You're my favorite Smite player on UA-cam. I wish I'd have started Smite earlier :( I started like a month and a half ago.
Neith? Ra? Hades? no? k...
The thing about smite is u wanna learn the game with a wide range of gods see what ur best at and then u can play anything but ull know what ur best at but it doesn’t do anyone good if u just know one class in ranked
KUKULKANNNNNNNNNNNNNN
...👍🏻
Racist!
for people looking for melee gods to play as beginners ill say for guardians i have to recommend Ymir.
Ymir is a threat throughout the entire game and is widely feared for how well he can lock down enemies and trap them. His freeze is not a hard CC to land at all and the only real way you can miss it really is if the opponent happens to jump out of the way or you have frame rate issues. Ymirs passive and his ice spike path makes for great way clear as well and its good for general harass. And his ultimate is also good for causing panic in team fights and is also good for executions due to its high damage. The only problems ymir has is one almost all guardians share is their easily eaten away mana pool at the start of the game and how one bad wall can easily screw over your team. But i personally think the benefits outweigh those cons.
as for solo laner....eh...ill let someone else try and carry that torch. I dont play solo lane much
I don't think Cupid is as easy as kukulkan :/
Cupid is easy
iTzMeNico is quite hard to land the heart bomb, maybe to me i guess
I agree with this list, but for me I would have said,
1. Neith
2. Thor
3. Poseidon
4. Bastet
5. Ratatoskr
These were some of the easiest gods in smite for me to understand and play well with when i started.
hardest gods (in my opinion ) are :
tyr
osiris
ullr
chronos
ao kuan
+guni gugu I actually almost completely agree with this list, or that all of these Gods would be in the contention for this actual list. If I ever do a video like this, I will definitely shout you out :)
+Raynday Gaming thank u =)
+guni gugu Hel instead of Ao, and we got a fuckin list.
Gavin Mahoney lol yeah any stance switch is hard
guni gugu Amaterasu isn't gonna be hard lmao
Wow, I agree with all of these. I'm curious to see if Chiron stays on the list when we get some new patches. We all know the pesky nerf hammer may hit him a bit. Heck it still seems to hit ol' Khep every patch. XD
+Grayson Sanderson I'm definitely curious to see how hard the nerf hammer hits Chiron - I hope it isn't too much :/
What about Zeus just press 1 then 2 wait a few seconds then press 3 that's it lol
Sounds like Janus
yeah but the thing with zeus is that he does not have any mobility at all, no escapes, no jumps and he basically feels like hades (hes really slow for a guy who floats around on a cloud), and for a new player mobility is an issue because most often than not they will get into bad positions and make themselves an easy gank prey
Christian Marrero then put your ult on yourself wait a few seconds then press 3 done
mate, you don't have your ultimate every couple of seconds, it has an 80 second cooldown, if anyone ganks you in that couple of seconds, you're dead, no question about it, and even if you do use your ult, if you play against a good mercury or kali, you're also dead.
One word: positioning
sun wukong is my favourite you can use the 72 transformation ability for any situation and his ultimate is good for finishing someone off and also retreating
+OMGitsJo He is great, but the difficulty in using his #3 for beginners is relatively high, and also he needs to be up close to do damage and I thin that puts him (in the hands of a beginner) in a risky situation when they are still learning to play/survive in game. Warriors and Guardians really set the tempo, and I find newer players have a high learning curve when using Guardians and Warriors and it can really create a bad situation for the team if they struggle under the pressure of constant attacks from the enemy due to bad positioning, poor initiation or counter initiation, and lack of understanding of how to peel for teammates.
+Raynday Gaming nah bro i go 15 to 1 on average
Where is my LOKI
He just doesn't want to promote him. With good reasoning.
Fking loki instalockers...
Where is my goobis?
loki takes no skill so Loki is for plebs not begginers
Loki is for those who are scared to actually fight and those with little to no skill.
Loki is hard dude I'm always impressed when I see someone who can actually play him well. The only thing easy about him is he is good at escaping, but that doesn't mean shit if he can't do anything.
The patches are changing the gods very much, so when I began at the January 2016, the Poseidon was almost too good. The latest patches have made it weak, so Whirlpool + Kraken will not kill almost anytime, while that combo was a killer when I started.
I remember when I was a beginner at Smite and grinded with Poseidon getting the full team in my ult combo go behind all of them whirlpool then quickly kraken and wave, works every time 😂
Number one should be Loki :D he is so easy i rented him straight away and with about 2 hrs of experience i went 21/8
+Kniqht Edits easy to play, one of the hardest to master.
oh
+Kniqht Edits Keep in mind that one game doesn't dictate skill in the slightest. Go 21/8 5-10 games in a row and then you can call it something other than luck.
thats very true
Loki is actually one of the harder gods but if you're playing against noobs he stomps.
The only problem I have with this list is that 2 of the gods on here are hunters, yes they are easy for beginners to use but all needed to be done by hunters is basic attacks so that beginners wont be able to learn how to play smite to a larger extent. This is the same with Kukulkan's whirlwind but I do agree with the Poseidon and Agni choices.
+Reeceachu Thanks for your opinion! I think the hunting is a valuable aspect of the game, and an important role to master. While it may or may not contribute to them learning all of the skills to master a Warrior, Guardian, Mage or Assasin, with very different attack patterns associated for each role - I do believe that these Gods are great for beginners. Even the hunters. If my goal for this video was to create a list of Gods that would support people in learning the game, which in all fairness, is a good thing for beginners to do, I may include a Guardian here and swap out one hunter. However, I think the hunter role is a very important role to learn, valuable for the team, and a lot of the God's here are very easy for a new player to become acclimated to the game. I appreciate your points though and you make a good one. Thank you for commenting and sharing your opinion. Means a lot!
no, I'm just saying that they are not the best for new players to lean due to them being TOO easy. That would be good to include a Guardian due to them being an extremely important role during the team fights, it would be interesting to see what one you include as well. No need to thank me, you are the one trying to help new players on the game so you deserve people to show their support and give their opinions. Hope this does help people so that you get what you want : 3
I miss Agnis old run. So fun to see that they kept it in that skin :) It just looks so cool
I think Ra should've been in Agni's place at the top as a god whose kit is easy but hard to master. New players will know this all too well, his ultimate is hard to hit and if your timing isn't perfect you're gonna miss, what to do when a Loki is targeting you relentlessly, keeping Ra's passive up all the time which is tremendously important to not getting ganked. Once you can get him somewhat good I would say you're ready to play any mage or hunter effectively.
It's interesting how Chang'e isn't on here. I found her to be very beginner friendly, having high damage combined with a hard to miss stun as her ult and having high mobility and sustain so she can make mistakes and not suffer for them very much. And let's not forget her ability that literally makes her invincible for a moment and gives her back mana. she probably would have taken chiron's spot if this was my list. but other than that I agree with everything.
+mmomario12 Interesting. I like Chang'e, I really do. I think she is underrated, and underused. You make great points, but I think that Chang'e has a bit of a difficult time competing with some of the gods in this list in terms of overall fight effectiveness. Although she has good mobility, cc immunity and decent damage, I feel that Chiron brings a lot more to the team engagement and has much better survivability with his ult and #3 dash. HOWEVER, I really like Chang'e and I would be happy with a list that included her at that spot :) thanks for your comment!
Agni's ultimate is the best long range attack as long as you can get your team member to hold your target.
I would argue that gods such as Guang Yu would be more suited for new player - or any god that doesn't rely much on hard-to-land skillshots or ranged autoattacks for that matter.
agni is my number one God and personal favorite for his insane damage, stuns, and decent mobility. he's not incredibly hard to play as but how could he possibly be best for beginners
Ah, love Agni. Not my best god, but he was the first god I purchased.
A top 5 ways to become a better warrior would be sweet!
Love your video's
Agreed my first god I was good with was agni, I'm now playing as Hel and loving her.
+Paula Deen That's awesome, thank you! I'm sorry I took so long to respond but thanks for commenting and glad you are enjoying Hel. I still don't play her often but I should!
+Raynday Gaming yeah I've mastered her three times now. Such an awesome god. :)
+Paula Deen yeah a really good neith is hard to deal with! At this point I'm sure that's you! Hope you keep rocking her!
So crazy whenever you say the release dates of some of these gods and I remember them coming out lol.
I see a lot of Agni players use all 3 of his ult separately which spread the dmg to a minimum. Agni's stun for some are difficult to hit or even unaware there is one.
Map awareness and communications win game; less 1 vs more than 1.
I started yesterday, and I have been doing pretty well as Basket, and Apollo
Even though mages are typically the most easy to play, you should have a seperate top 5 for other classes. For example I think chaac is a really easy warrior, good for beginners. Cupid is definitely the easiest hunter. Bastet is probably the easiest assassin (although assassin is hard in general when you aren't used to it). for mages i would say poseidon in lane, his waveclear is safer (agni has to be closer) and agni in arena becaus he has a better escape and better range. Easiest guardian I think is Geb. Im wondering what you think
+Maximous Prime I like the idea for other classes and I have to agree with you that this would be an interesting series when looking at all of the different roles in smite. Thanks for the ideas. I would say Geb is probably the easiest Guardian as well, but the verdict is still out in terms of the assassin for me. Possibly Hun Batz? I have to think about that more!
+Maximous Prime I disagree with cupid being the easiest hunter because missing his heartbomb can be a huge deal and it's a bit of a skill shot skill. His basic attacks do less damage than other hunters because his heart bomb is supposed to make up for it. I believe neith is by far the easiest hunter because her 1 by itself is an amazing ability for wave clear and rooting, and it only gets better when you combine it with your three. I will, however, agree that cupid has one of the best group fighting potentials. He is amazing on paper, but not so much on actual gameplay.
I think Janus is good for beginners. He can get out of bad situations easily with his portal and dimension rift thing and his special hits anywhere across the map
LOL you sound like Tay Zonday , i'm new to the channel and to smite , so this is useful , thank you
+Fresh Light Thanks man! I don't know who that is? Handsome, suave movie star I suppose? ;)
Haha :p
+Raynday Gaming Chocolate Rain!
+Crinks Hahaha
For anyone who still watched this video, pick up artemis from the offer from hi rez.
If you use the high build end game you can 3 hit kill enemies
damage isn't everything. the lack of a reliable escape means you gotta be very mindful about your positioning. you also need a lot of experience in order to use her traps efficiently.
neith is a way better hunter for beginners with her frequent stun, high sustain, easy scape and infinite range ult. even if you dont achieve the highest player damage of the match you are still helping your team inmensely.
I was watching these video when released and I was starting with game and now again. Ofcourse is that Yours list but I don't exactly agree with Chiron and Agni. They both great gods but starting players may struggle with they ultimates. Both have few shots with ult which makes highly possible that u miss part of it, even if aim perfectly enemies may dash/jump off. In these way Cupid is perfect for beginers. I will add for these list Artemis - her stun/slow/root potential its huge especially ultimate it's a fury homing misile U cant miss ;P
Generally imo hunters are best pick for starters - you build up attack speed and crits and harass enemies with autoatacks, dont mention abilities.
I just want to say I really enjoy your channel and you have helped me personally quite a bit. Thank you and you are well worth subscribing to :)
i picked Arachne up really quickly and effectively after only about 3 hours of experience
I would say hades is by far the easiest god to play and best for beginners. He has a lot of mobility, sustain and utility and can really help out team fight with his ultimate. But i do agree with you on agni as your number one. He was the first god i mained and my favourite god to this day his kit is so easy to play but difficult to master.
I'm very surprised Neith wasn't number 1. She's got a giant AoE lifesteal, she can root either a single person or a group and her back flip is a very quick escape. Not to mention it's literally impossible to miss with her ultimate, it's going to hit someone.
I agree with Agni being a good starter Mage.hell hes my first God I ever bought and I use him all the time(except if someone allready picked him I'm stuck with bellona or ratatoskr)
+Cordless Slinkey7 I'm glad to hear you like the list, bud. Thank you for commenting and letting me know. I think Agni covers a lot of the criteria I have set in terms of picking the best beginner gods in SMITE and he is widely used in a lot of scenarios both professional and casual and across all game modes.
As a master 8 Agni player, I would not recommend Agni for new players (although he is who I started with). His kit is relatively confusing and requires quite a no. of things to be kept in mind. He is also mechanically tougher since he has no nuke ability unlike a Scylla ult or kraken, this forces him to combo his ability to do damage hence making him tougher to play. He may have decent way clear (decent due to short range on his 2), a good escape, long range ult and easy to build, he is tougher than say a Scylla, kukulkan or Poseidon. I know I've mentioned her a lot but I would rather recommend Scylla since she's easy to play, easy to get good, somewhat slow but good escape and only downside is being very squishy.
+Dayum343
I agree that Scylla has a very welcoming kit for beginners, but she tends to struggle early game against gods with superior clear (Anubis, Poseidon, Nu Wa, Kukulkan). That combined with the fact that she is tough to play when coming from behind means she could be a bit discouraging for newer players who haven't mastered farming. That said, I would 100% recommend Scylla for a beginner over Agni. I just think gods like Ra, Kukulkan, and poseidon are so easy to farm with that even a new player would have a tough time not keeping up (unless they feed).
Bellonna and Zeus should be on this list I found them very good when I first started playing
only hunters and mage's, make sense, no joke
I picked up ra as my first God and I've been supporting my team a lot. But I can also play on the offensive if I need to so I think ra is a good god to pick up honestly
He's free at the start XD
Idd have to say bellona. She's so tanky that even a newer player can trade and still get back to safety. Also her ultimate is super easy to contribute to team fights. Bellona seems like she was made to bring people into the game
maybe you should do a video on your top 10 personal favorite gods in smite
+Thatcher Brown Geat Idea buddy! I just may....
i know this is a month old but i think leveling poseidons whirlpool is the most effective way to do the most dmg and zone out enemies
+Mr.Porpoise t Interesting! I usually level his 1, but I think it also depends on playstyle. I definitely think what you are saying is valid. Thanks for commenting man, and I appreciate the view!
I agree with you and if you combine it with the kraken its a guaranteed kill
"Poseidon isn't number one because his ult brings you closer to the enemy than i would like" 10 sec later...*Shows agni dashing into the enemy*
1.Loki
2. anubis
3. kuku
4. nike
5.cabraken
6.Medusa
7. Poseidon
8. I can't think of any more
Ah puch is best for begginer, good range and great dmg, he is also good for team fights. Basically all around if a begginer was to want to start off easy.
I agree with this list a lot! Awesome job with this list :D
+troyty007 Thanks man!!!!
Yay I've just been getting into Agni I love him. I've only been playing this game for like 2 or 3 months
Ohhhh HELL!!! I LOVE AGNI. Hands down my favorite and most played god.
I think the easiest gods to play are actually neith and guan yu, two of the beginner gods for smite. both have great cc, great dmg, great escape, great sustain.
Neith is probably this safest hunter to play while her skill is very easy to land, Guan Yu is probably the safest warrior/tank to play as his escape and healing is amazing.
+dinohazard I still use both very much. Guan Yu, with his great heal buff, and relics meditation and shielding can completely turn the tide of battle, and the cavalry charge is great finisher when the enemy team is in retreat.
+Damjan Medur i think chaac is way better for beginners
i always found assassins and other melee type gods easier to pick up, possibly because all i play in games is physical damage type melee characters.
I Just started Playing Smite and did my first penta kill with médusa.
my 1st god was Thanatos waaay back in beta, I think it was when I saw the reveal for him and I decided to try him out, man did i suck with him, but now he's my best cuz he forced me to actually read what the abilities did and holy crap he is a glass cannon lol
+ntabiblaze Great story, and great job persevering with a very difficult God to master!
did i do a mistake with buying him as my first god?
i'm not sure agni would be good for a beginner, cause you have to keep track of meteors, although his basic 3 powers are easy to understand, his ultimate can be a lot confusing for many people, also, i would have expected neith to be in this list as well.
Don't use agni as a new player. Pretty much every new agni I have seen has just fed out of control. Other than that, the rest of your suggestions are on point.
Subscribed! Thanks for this top 5!! :)
top ten gods for arena. now do joust because i only play joust lol. love the vids too.
I am a beginner and kali and Thor were more helpful than agni and Poseidon. Something my friends found very strange is that i mastered Hades pretty quick 😂
