Nezha isn't hard per say, but positioning in conquest fights is incredibly hard. You need perfect timing for engages and one mistake or bad sash/ult and nezha is COMPLETELY irrelevant. She's just a risky God and very few people can play her at a high level.
😂 I hate Loki so much lol. It’s funny seeing noobs play him though. I played him for the first time a while back and easy 7-1 not even three minutes into the match.
Loki only carries that easy in shit elo lol. In high elo they cc you to death, they are always trying to see tow here you are, and if you don't play loki properly you do shit. Loki is only op in bad elo. No one complains about unkillable lokis that don't die in high elos. Yeah, maybe loki comes for the adc and one shots him and has 12 kills, but has died 10
True. What I think makes him hard is just the fact that he's barely really a threat WITHOUT the ult. Unless he's full build and critting the fuck out of everyone
I see your point, but still can't agree. Ne Zha with Deathbringer as third item can solo almost any non tank in the game... Those 700 damage crits on the sash + autos are way too strong
Tiago Lucas Castro Soo you find him easy? But yeah he's a very straightforward god. Like come on his ring toss. As a wave clear Oh my God so much effort and thinking into actually using it
Hhahaahha, I do find him easy :P you can use your ring toss to build up your passive, then use your autos (last hit is AoE), if you lose health taking down the lane, use your 2 to heal up! :P
ya but he basically is a threat on all phases of the game ult is through out scary ring toss early damage and late is really good armillary sash is a guarantee auto and catch up and his heal/ buff makes him scary to one v one
nahh, ra is far from any of the gods on this list, his passive is even really good at going in on the enemy, doing the damage and get out again because of that movement speed buff, just go right in the enemies face, drop your 3, then 2 and then 1 right into them and then run away! and even then, he have the shortest cd on an ult in the game!
crysisman09 i agree with that but the problem is that u have to get close to the enemies most of the time and he's a ranged mage, he could die by getting close to the enemies, of course i always build warlock's on ra and if i have good teammates i can land all my damage but even so compared to a lot of other mages he's very hard, like compare him to he bo or chang'e
Ra is very hard to be good against strong opponents. Definitely a top five. Any god can be "easy" to play depending on how you're playing. If you want to be effective and contribute to your team then Ra is definitely top 5 hardest. His speed boost isn't enough to get you out if you're pushing into them with your 2 then 1 combo. They will target you first if they're smart and they'll counter pick and counter build your healing. If you hit a Ra early and get a lead his abilities won't do enough to keep up with other mages like Scylla, Raijin, and so on. I play a lot of ranked conquest and I'm pretty high up in rank so I'm going of that mode mostly. I'm also a diamond Ra. In other modes you can sit back and hit heals all day, but you still have to be pretty accurate to hit his ray and ult from the back because people can see it coming from a mile away if you're standing back and they'll get tired of you healing everyone and target you constantly. A Fenrir pick basically makes your 3, 2, 1 push combo very risky because he can pick you up, pull you out your 3 and then you can't get away with your speed boost.
Honestly, the hardest part about learning Serqet is reading her passive properly. Her kit is really easy to get used to, she was so much easier for me to play at a decent level that most other assassins. I mean heck, you get a free setup for your main damaging tool and you even get 2 chances.
Serqet is actually pretty easy. Hardest part of her kit is her taunt and it's not that hard to hit. Plus she can build on the bulkier side so mistakes won't get punished as hard especially when she has two escapes.
DeDragoon She's isn't the easiest of the bunch, that's for sure. At the same time, her skill floor (again, not ceiling) doesn't even come close to Ne Zha, who entirely relies on line abilities of which some have a delay.
Just want to point out the clickbait with sexy Nu Wa and then no mention of her in video... Also have to say I'm surprised there was no mention of Chronos or Serqet in here. I think both are very hard to play and understand for new players or people trying them for the first time.
I put Nu Wa in there not to spoil any of the gods and because she is frequently called the easiest god due to her ult (though it's debatable). Using the exact ONE image of her where she covers her boobs would probably be in the Top 5 worst clickbait attempts ever if it actually was one. I can see Chronos, I absolutely don't see why people think Serqet is hard.
I was wrong and didn't mean to offend - I apologize. This is the first video of yours I've seen and certainly didn't expect a reply. You're right about the Nu Wa thumbnail and I understand your reasoning. As for Serqet, I suppose it's more about how to play her smart and utilize her passive; I - and I know I'm not alone by a long shot - had trouble even using her kit well at first, much less playing the goddess to most of her potential. I will definitely agree with Ullr being among the most difficult. I'd love to get good with him but always seem to mis-time my cooldowns or miss a vital skill shot.
yeah chronos is simple, yet hitting your 1 is not that easy, you gotta time your stun, and learn your passive. Chronos without is passive is just a weaker mage
not at all. I find myself doing 700dmg with the 1 without using the 35% magical passive bonus. I tend to use the 100% mana refund more in the lvl 12 down for constant spamming and it works just fine... his stun is easy to hit as it is too large to miss unless your prediction sucks. other than being a bad player it should be very easy to use. Chronos.
What about Chronos? His 1 is a tiny AoE attack with considerable delay which makes it a true skillshot, his 3 is very slow moving so you have to be good at leading also making it a true skillshot and his only true escape is his ult which too has a considerable delay, so making good use of it is also... a true skill. His saving grace that makes him a devastating god for highly skilled players is his short cooldowns and steroid.
If you have trouble landing those two with Chronos, you won't even hit anything with Ullr. Chrono's 1 and 3 isn't even that hard to master, and since Chronos is basically an ADC, you don't rely on his abilities to deal damage. Ullr's axe 1 has longer delay and smaller hitscan, Ullr's bow 3 has tinier AoE (which is basically only one god) and considerable higher range, those who can master him just melts you at any stages of the game.
His one is not that hard to hit once you get used to it and its radious is big enough to be able to hit a full wave if you basic attack the front creeps a couple of times. His three,even though it's slow,you usually dont aim it at faraway targets,but rather on enemies close to you,making it easy to hit due to its big radious. And finally his ullt is indeed slow to activate but you generally want to use it right before or while taking damage,not after,so you can guarantee your survival.
I agree with this list up until this new patch. I don't know if The Morrigan eclipses Ullr but she has a very high skill cap in her ultimate meaning she has to know how to effectively use the god she is copying, which varies even more by how the player she is copying builds their god (like attack speed vs ability based power).
Pesosgaming But seriously for solo lane? Why pick Loki? There's literally plenty of other gods out there that can do the same shit Loki do but better for solo
Well, obviously there can be. Just because they have high burst damage doesn't mean they take no skill. A bad Odin, Nox or Loki can be countered extremely easy
it depends on your build. I like to build her tanky. You can use her 3 then 1 followed by 2 to trap ppl on the point for extra damage. you can also use your 1 to run into ppl when there health is really low to get kills.
@DukeSloth I had a conversations where a Person said that smit doesn't requier as much Skill as other Mobas what do you say to that topic. You played other mobas do you agree or not?
I don't see how they would think that, SMITE's Unique to other MOBA's because of the fact that it has Third person, and that "most" abilities and attacks in the game are skill shots, but when you look at another MOBA, for example: league of legends, "most" abilities and attacks are fired by clicking on the enemy
+Dwolf625 I would say Dota 2 is the hardest just because of how harsh it on deaths in other Mobas you lose some farm and they get some bonus gold for the kill Dota you lose out on farm and they steal gold from you for their bonus and then if you don't know what you're doing you quick spawn and use even more gold. However Smite would probably be the second hardest simply because they don't coddle you with hitting basics like other mobas hell I've played like 12 games of league and most of those I was 1v2ing in lane as an adc
***** now I haven't gotten huge into the other softcore mobas Dota being hardcore but from the little I have played them it seemed easier and less complicated the first moba I played at all was LoL in my first game I'm 1v2ing the whole game and not losing lane when I start to play Smite I'm getting my ass handed to me in every game I play
This was his reason for being only an honourable mention. He is very easy to play, but hard to master. You can be a beast, when you are good with him and you can be very strong, when youre bad with him.
Loki is not easy to use against good and balanced teams, sure you can ult and 2 shot someone late game but getting out of there alive without getting spammed by CC and killed just as easily is the real challenge, also entire teams will always target a Loki player. Most of the game you will just sit around waiting for someone to get out of position for an easy kill but if that doesnt happen because the players are smart you will feel pretty useless. Susano is hard to master but he has infinite escapes, best mobility in the game and he can pull you from across the goddamn lane, all of his abilities are also huge AoEs that are braindead easy to hit.
One thing I absolutely love about Ullr is how versatile he is. I haven't played on conquest in a while, waiting for S4, but if I remember he can be played ADC, Mid, and Solo. He could even potentially be played in the jungle. Don't know if these builds still work but for ADC I usually start with trans and potions, then boots, Asi (can go ichaviel if ahead), Qins, Titans or Jotunns (if you want the CDR), then a crit or Bloodforge, sell an attack speed item for more crit if you want to. Then for solo I usually went Bluestone, boots, and shit ton of mana pots, jotunns, then trans (kinda late stacking), ichaviel, breastplate to be slightly tanky, then crit or bloodforge or more AS - whichever you need or want more.
well a good Hel can utilize her 2 in both stances ( and mainly Light stance ) so much better than an averege player... like you can pretty much immediately notice if a Hel is good or not just from that.. and definetely she's harder than ne zha I think.. just opinions after all
Her 2 in dark stance is more or less apart of combing her damage, and all Hel players should being using it. Her 2 in light stance isn't about being a good Hel player but just having overall good game awareness so you know when to use it. You could say the same about both Ravana and Chang'e players. Neither of them are hard gods to play but both happen to have immunity abilities.
1.ullr (the 6 skills and a pain to rotate his pin and he never scemes to.have his jump at the ready) 2.serquet (constantly have to know how much damage your poison can do and landing the 3 hits with her 1 and both her 2 and her ult are thin lines) 3.chronos (landing his 1 isnt easy and being able to time your 2 for the strongest buff from his passive is hard to keep track of) 4.hel (6 abilitys no dash and shes easy to learn hard to master a master hel will always land her cleanse on herself or her teammates and will keep in mind of her passive for mana regen for her and her teammates around her) 5.ares (always weird to build and if you cant land his 1 constantly he sucks but land his 1 and he rocks)
You don't need to be able to pillar stun on command to play anhur to a high potential. Chaining your jump to knock them towards a wall and then impaling them into said wall can sometimes even be more effective, because you can use the pillar to wall off an escape after that.
Replace Ne Zha with Serqet. Ne Zha is pretty simple. land your abilities and you succeed. Serqet, on the other hand, requires you to to use the 4>2>1 combo and passive on one of many enemies.
It depends on the clunkiness of the abilities. I totally agree with Ullr. Switch from bow and hit 3 you 3 axe stun, the whole transition feel like it take at least 3 seconds... Ability switching deities and deities that you have to double hit and ability are kinda tough for me.
Ne Zha's ult should be activated like Serqet's grab. I've missed that dash so many times when the enemy is right in front of me... and I've landed it when just dashing away. I've gotten better at it, but it's essentially a grab... so why doesn't it toggle like a grab?
osiris was my first diamond. i had always over looked him until i faced him kne day in solo lane and he trampled me. quin sai is a must. his 2 can take out the archers early on and you can box the enemy god inside their minions using your 3. even if they leap away you can poke them with your 2 (or 1) and too many times has my opponant tried backing under tower not realzing the distance of Osiris' abilities.
My top 5 IMO 5. Agni, has so much potential to do so much with his 1. 4. Hel, managing her mana and switching stances can get complicated and most people misuse her 2 which can help a lot. 3. Ne Zha, he is almost all skill shot based and if you miss your 3 you have lost so much time for kill/outplay potential. 2. Terra, she can be unkillable if used properly and can create so much play. 1. Ullr, I agree with Ullr being difficult however, he is a hunter and all he really needs to do is land basics. he has an escape, a stun, a power spike and has extremely long range. but to be used to his full potential he can be unstoppable.
ne zha is very easy to play with the right build.. you can get a 1k crit by not even trying to get it... deathbringer and blood forged with the 2 is just way too op.. just 3, ult. if there still alive 2 and one hit them. I'm not seeing the skill here
I feel like aphro and chang'e are hard to play to their fullest potential. Both require a lot of positioning awareness, timing of abilities, and dealing with the fact that everyone and their mother is out to kill you. Also, given the amount of anti-healing in the game and high burst assassins that can camp you in lane or focus you out almost immediately in team fights, or their inability to really deal with cc and getting bursted, they require a lot of practice. It is difficult to be relevant in game if you don't have said above things.
Serquet is hard as hell to play and I'd say that hel is quite hard too. Her cleanse is one of the few abilities in smite which asks you to know what skills ennemies are going to use. I think it's actually on a totally diffrent level than just predicting ennemies movements.
Ne Zha can someone explain to me how is hitting Ne Zhas 1, 3, 4 hard? 1 goes off instantly ad they are slowed, 3 goes almost instantly and 4 is guaranteed hit after 3. Like the only thing you have to consider is "is the targets beads/aegis up". Now I'm not saying that he has low skill cap, remember we are talking about skill floor here, so if you 1, 3, 4 your target and it's dead you fulfilled your role decently even if you die for it. How is Raijin not here?
it's because he's an assassin with no guaranteed escape outside of landing your ult from a distance and getting bounced back. if he's stuck in the middle of like 3 enemies he's got nothing
+Universe_Cat3 Damn...showed him what the fuck is up. That's very true. Idk why he didn't think Tyr is even on the actual list and fucking HUNTERS are on here. All you gotta do is AIM like that's the most genetic thing about this game because that's what you do. On the other hand gods like Tyr it requires you to get up close. And he needs blink to be even relevant because no one is that stupid to just let a Tyr walk up to them and fearless you. And that leaves him at a disadvantage over relics. I respect Osiris being here but come on. A hard hunter? Bitch please just get your items up and aim. All there is to it
Chronos is braindead easy to use >_>. Even if you aren't good with him in poking the enemy early/mid-game, as long as you can stay alive in lane, an inexperienced player can still shitstomp a good player end game with him. Easy to combo 2 shot skills. Not hard at all.
Chronos does take a lot of getting used to, with his awkward windups, a situational clock, relatively low health, a very difficult early for inexperienced players. Anyone can play Chronos late game by pressing 2 in section 4. However, timing his ult and being aware of where it will place you can be extremely difficult due to the age long windup, and landing his 1 can be very difficult for newer players
Ullr is hel with steroids, you need to pull the a3 a1 aa b3 aa b1 aa chain perfectly for any long range engagement and short range are a1 aa b3 aa b1 aa a3 aa or even mid range a1 b3 b1 aa. And I don't even want to talk about using your 2 properly on either stance
Wait you think those gods are hard? No, theyre just not good. Cab is super easy and straight forward. Izanami isnt hard either aside from her ult, and hel is ehh in terms of difficulty. Once you understand her abilities she is very easy to play, i was playing her super early on in my smite experience and it wasnt hard to catch on.
Chronos? You always have to be watching your hp for your ult, your time wheel thing (don't know what tf it's called)and be able to consistently hit your time rift, and slow time isn't super hard to hit but is still a slow-moving ability
I was hoping Ares would be on here... You need perfect positioning and missing a chain can end a fight quickly. I'm working on 9000 worshipers with em lol
Yea i was hoping aswell. due to him having a high skill ceilings and a not so low floor. I still laugh when i see ares players just spam any aura items they find in the shop. XD
thats the thing he dosent have a high skill ceiling all his abilities are pretty easy 2 land besides his chains. Mind you that I dont play conquest but on arena every time I see an ares on the enemy team if you dont get purification and he ults you as long as his team is paying any sort of attention your guaranteed 2 die
I feel like Agni is one of those gods who has a high skill floor but a low skill cap. This sounds like it doesn't make any sense, but if you take a complete noob for example and ask him to play Agni, he'll always, and ALWAYS put his Nox. fumes up first. But once you learn you can use Nox. fumes after your abilities persist, it becomes second nature and intuitive, even. Flame wave, of course, is an exception because nobody can easily guess that the FX were implemented as a part of utility, not style, but other than that, Agni becomes really simple to play.
ullr is not the hardest at all, u stun them then freely unload your kit onto them, if you miss your kit on them he is a hunter so you still have your basic attacks, if you fail to hit your basic attacks you have a melee basic attack form. if you are in trouble you have a built in sprint relic, a leap and a stun. I do not agree with the ullr placement but the rest I don't mind
Personally i don't agree with Ullr being number 1. If you build him with hastened and crit and just basic people you will easily be able to do well with him. I do get where you're coming from but I still think he isn't the hardest god in smite
He is if you build around his kit. Honestly I shutter at the site of a level X Ullr, not a X Artemis or X Neith. Besides, building crits doesn't account for much when the entire world does it. If I may ask, who in your opinion is the hardest god to use?
The heck, the point of this entire video is about the kit of that God. That's like saying Aphrodite can kill people easily but I don't consistently heal or use my ultimate for others. I hope you understand where we are all coming from.
theblinfultruth I don't have one specific god but I would say someone like Aphrodite because she has to be healing everyone on a team so she has to be able to get to different places quickly
RiPshoT maybe i wasnt making fun or anything like that, but i guess people that play smite had never played serious sam, so i guess that the joke of mental goes above their heads!
I don't understand why Sylvanus is not somewhere as he has the smallest line only equal in size to Anubis ult and you are completely stopped while using the ability.
imo Skadi is fairly difficult. Her abilities are easy to land, yes, but you have to manage Kaldr's life carefully. If he dies at the wrong time, you lose 2/3 of your potential damage when it could be critical to a teamfight.
personally I feel Bakasura is the hardest god in the game, as you can't really go from team fight to team fight thanks to how charging his ult works, coupled with the fact that if your opponents are on level with you by about 10 you are going to be useless for the rest of the match. plus thanks to raw hp items giving 400 hp and the Sash tree each giving magic gods 250+ your 3 is now useless to against anyone who know what it does. He'll also never get a buff because Hi rez doesn't want him controlling the entire right side of the map like back when he was viable. it is near impossible to win with him outside of completely snowballing in the early game when he still matters.
Ullr is pretty easy if you know how to change stances and have a high damage build. I prefer to play Ullr (Arena) with Trascendence, Warrior Tabi, Asi, Malice, Titan's Bane and Deathbringer. That build deals a ton of damage making your enemy to beg out. When this happens I change stance and doing a 3 and then a 1 to leave him or her stunned and finishing with a 2 in melee stance or change to bow and perform a 1. It's pretty easy to use once you get used to the stance changing and the punishing.
yeah, you can pick up Susanoo pretty fast but, he's always at least a mention in these lists because he probably has the highest skill cap in the game. There's just so many ways to combo his abilities, then there's the 25 attack cancels he can do, teleporting for flanking, timing pulls... he's like the Gnji of Smite right now.
I think people just find him hard just for the fact that he doesn't generally 'blow up' people with their abilities like a raijin and ratatoskr. He's more of that poke you then while your health is low enough he can maybe kill you. He's similar to scylla. When she misses her 1 and 2 and assuming her ult isn't up. All her damage is just gone
Zach Berens ...Maybe you're just bad? Because the gods you just mentioned are easy as fuck. Seems to me you're just playing mainstream gods. I'm gonna guess you don't play warriors
excuse me, he plays odin lmao. Jokes aside, hel has a high skill cap. By saying that I just mean anyone can play hel and seem good, but a hel who knows the kit and build can seem utterly better. Ao is just a sitting duck if you don't use his 1 right.
My opinion on hardest gods to play (as of 2017) -Ao Kuang; A close-range mage is dangerous to play, his passive is difficult to manage and his abilities require good use. -He Bo; His abilities are fairly short range and have rather small targeters, requiring high risk and high precision -Isis; Most of her abilities require careful aiming -Janus; Knowing how to combo is buffs mid-fight to get the most from his damage, also aiming his wavy attack -Nu Wa; Properly wielding all her utility -Sol; Predicting how best to use her escape, and predicting the path of an enemy for her ult -The Morrigan; Knowing what god to switch to and when -Zhong Kui; A short-range mage whose abilities must be comboed well to be effective
Listening to what you have said ne da gas the same difficulty level of ra more or less, And another thing, where is the he bo?!? It is noto very difficult to hit his abilities but it is the perfect definiti on of a "glass cannon" and so very difficult to play well, even more than ullr
Good video :) For me the hardest god is: Hel: - she has no escape - she has no real cc to balance the 1st point (slow is mehh) - she has no real ultimate (deals quite a lot dmg with her 3 in dark stance, but then there is Nox with almost 4 ultimates with her 1 and 2 dealing more then a 1000 dmg and her escape deals over 700 when built pure dmg) - she relies on heals heavily, which wouldn't be a problem, if there wouldn't be so many heal reduction items (a.k.a Curse, Brawlers, Pestelance, so on...) - though her 3 is big in radius, it's not like e.g Scylla's 2, she HAS TO be quite close/closer to the enemy to deal the dmg, Scylla only has to throw out Crush into the distance and gg - the focus she gets every match (it doesn't matter that you have great heals if 4 people are attacking you and you don't even have a chance to press 3) And the god I'm the worst at is poor Tyr :( I can't make him work..Shame on me y.y Anways, thanks for the list, it was interesting to hear your opinion about it. Have a nice day! =)
I think nu wa shoulda been on here. If u don't understand her she feels so weak. Her combo is pretty hard to land and positioning is very important for dealing her burst
She can do pretty hard damage with the correct build, especially when you know wich stone you should shatter when, and abuse of that double dash thing after it. She has two hard CC after all, an entire map ult that gives free usage of abilities (Spam these babies) and huge heals on the side! Fun to play, not fun if you don't do damage tho
Try Ne Sha with shield of regrowth as defensive item (of course depending on enemy team comp). It lets you get speed buff after you hit your 2, which is awesome.
you mentioned the auto cancels for some gods like susano. Do you think you could do a video talking about the gods that this is a valued skill for? Bc I hardly knew this was a thing. Also good video as always! Keep up the good work!
To make it short: Almost all assassins + Medusa. But it can be used on any god but Serqet, really. Today's video will by about Hydra's lament and partially adress it.
I believe Scylla being mentioned as a honorable mention was pretty off. Even back in 2016, her 1 -> 2 -> you dead combo worked pretty well, giving her a relatively low skill floor.
I'm kinda surprised hou yeezus wasn't mentioned. Yeah he's good in general, but to be very good at playing him with the triple taps and the stun ult combo can be pretty difficult. Not as difficult as ullr, but definitely more difficult than anhur
I would replace Ne Zha with Awilix. Her damage comes mostly from timing and placements. For instance, to use her 3/Ult/2 combo you'd need to be behind a god which is difficult in most scenarios. Yes her ult works with team knockups and jump escapes but she'd have to have the reaction time and close enough distance to use her ult.
Honestly don't think Awilix is that hard once you get used to her, but then again I've played her a crapton - she's my most played god, so I might be biased.
I'd of thought Janus would be up there. Anyone can hit his combo or get a snipe once in a while, but to actually be useful to your team as Janus mid in conquest takes a lot of skill. He's a top pick in SPL but his ranked win rate is around 40% . To use your portals and positioning effectively rather then just being there for damage is the trick
Never thought Tera was hard to play, but maybe because I play mainly guardians and support. I usually think Fafnir is harder to play because his 1 is a skill shot and very dependent on teamwork to make most use out of his ultimate. All the others I definitely agree though.
Im surprised serqet isnt here, not even in the honerable mentions when gods like scylla, susanoo and terra are. I'm not saying im bad with her but she definitely took a lot longer to learn to use than any gods i played. Meanwhile the 3 i mention were pretty easy bc of either clear, heal, high support, mobility or high dmg. But well thats just my opinion and my experience but seeing from the top comments and game of the day where the teams switch gods they tend to pick serqet. Other than that I agree with your list except maybe ullr being #1 he is definitely a challenge but not that much of a challenge especially if people build him like most hunters
I personally think Chronos is really difficult to get a handle on. I don't play him much, but when I get him in assault on occasion he gives me trouble.
I main anhur, and u dont have to hit ur pillar combo all the time , but u need to be smart early game and get ahead + u need to know when to impale someone to a wall . He is very strong in 1 vs 1.
This video made me realize that even the "hardest" gods in Smite aren't that difficult. We don't have a single god that works like "if you don't play him to his maximum potential or close to it you will do awfully"
Chronos is pretty hard to play in my opinion, if you're trying to go ability based, which is viable if you hit your 1, and that can be very hard. do to its delay, and a smart player will be able to dodge it almost every time if you don't hit your stun which also can be extremely hard to hit because of how goddamn slow it flies. He is also squishy and contrary to what a lot of people think you can't really use your ult when you have super low life because they can easily kill you during the initial cast.
Imo Hel should be on this list somewhere. And as for Terra... she was made for me. First game as her and i knew exactly what to do. Her kit is sooo fun, but she has so little dmg that she can only support. I would love to play her in solo.
Honestly idk if it's natural skill or what, but Ne Zha isn't hard at all to me. Because of this, I'd agree with all of it except Ne Zha, replacing it with either Serqet (her combos are very weird for me) or Awilix (she changes the pace of the game by so much, you have to think and move much faster) I'd also consider switching Terra with Sylv because without his pull he's worth much less and that pull is hard af to hit against good opponents.
This list definitely shows that "hard" is a very opinionated topic. For example, of the gods you mentioned, there is no way I would have even considered Susano, Rama, Terra, or Osiris in this list. All of these gods have relatively low skill floors, and as such you generally don't feel frustrated when playing with them, so you can play them more often and easily improve on them. Yes, they all have high skill caps, but so do most of the gods in the game. Gods I would have considered before these would have been Chronos, Serqet, and Sylvannus, but the reason for those is because of the inherent difficulty to use core abilities in their kits. I would probably put Izanami as harder than them as well, but that was just because she was underpowered.
Geb is pretty hard if you ask me... Sorry, I'll go now.
Someone hand me the bleach
+MisterQuake you're really lonely
Ernie Lopez Thanks
Dem cataclysms....oh god it must be everywhere!
I went on this video wanting to make that joke ;-;
Terra is pretty hard, but not as hard as I am when I play her.
I agree with all your choices except #2 Ne Zha is fairly easy to play in my opinion
Nezha isn't hard per say, but positioning in conquest fights is incredibly hard. You need perfect timing for engages and one mistake or bad sash/ult and nezha is COMPLETELY irrelevant. She's just a risky God and very few people can play her at a high level.
+papelgiftware1 ne zha is a boy
This never gets old xD
i think he is just salty by the fact that he dont know how to position himself in battles.
you're not very creative are you? I've seen dumber shit work & it never hurts to try new things. I kind of feel like I'm talking to a toddler.
The hardest God to play is Loki, that's why many new players play him, to improve skill.............
Ok if you couldn't tell. That was a joke.
😂 I hate Loki so much lol. It’s funny seeing noobs play him though. I played him for the first time a while back and easy 7-1 not even three minutes into the match.
This is so true I started playing 3 weeks ago and I do pretty well going 15-5 most game I even went 22-7 listen its good for me😭
Nerf Loki plees I cri evey tim
Frrrr Loki is my main and if you use attack speed and critical you'll carry the whole team 😭😭😭
Loki only carries that easy in shit elo lol. In high elo they cc you to death, they are always trying to see tow here you are, and if you don't play loki properly you do shit. Loki is only op in bad elo. No one complains about unkillable lokis that don't die in high elos. Yeah, maybe loki comes for the adc and one shots him and has 12 kills, but has died 10
Honestly can't agree with Ne Zha being a hard God; I think he is pretty straight forward, ult and kill...
True. What I think makes him hard is just the fact that he's barely really a threat WITHOUT the ult. Unless he's full build and critting the fuck out of everyone
I see your point, but still can't agree. Ne Zha with Deathbringer as third item can solo almost any non tank in the game... Those 700 damage crits on the sash + autos are way too strong
Tiago Lucas Castro Soo you find him easy? But yeah he's a very straightforward god. Like come on his ring toss. As a wave clear Oh my God so much effort and thinking into actually using it
Hhahaahha, I do find him easy :P
you can use your ring toss to build up your passive, then use your autos (last hit is AoE), if you lose health taking down the lane, use your 2 to heal up! :P
ya but he basically is a threat on all phases of the game ult is through out scary ring toss early damage and late is really good armillary sash is a guarantee auto and catch up and his heal/ buff makes him scary to one v one
ra is pretty hard too, his abilities are so easy to dodge
Just zone...
AdmiralAkbar even so you need a lot of skill and predictions to hit his abilities, other than his 2 of course
nahh, ra is far from any of the gods on this list, his passive is even really good at going in on the enemy, doing the damage and get out again because of that movement speed buff, just go right in the enemies face, drop your 3, then 2 and then 1 right into them and then run away! and even then, he have the shortest cd on an ult in the game!
crysisman09 i agree with that but the problem is that u have to get close to the enemies most of the time and he's a ranged mage, he could die by getting close to the enemies, of course i always build warlock's on ra and if i have good teammates i can land all my damage but even so compared to a lot of other mages he's very hard, like compare him to he bo or chang'e
Ra is very hard to be good against strong opponents. Definitely a top five. Any god can be "easy" to play depending on how you're playing. If you want to be effective and contribute to your team then Ra is definitely top 5 hardest. His speed boost isn't enough to get you out if you're pushing into them with your 2 then 1 combo. They will target you first if they're smart and they'll counter pick and counter build your healing. If you hit a Ra early and get a lead his abilities won't do enough to keep up with other mages like Scylla, Raijin, and so on. I play a lot of ranked conquest and I'm pretty high up in rank so I'm going of that mode mostly. I'm also a diamond Ra. In other modes you can sit back and hit heals all day, but you still have to be pretty accurate to hit his ray and ult from the back because people can see it coming from a mile away if you're standing back and they'll get tired of you healing everyone and target you constantly. A Fenrir pick basically makes your 3, 2, 1 push combo very risky because he can pick you up, pull you out your 3 and then you can't get away with your speed boost.
I'm happy my boy Osiris is getting some respect on his name.
He's not even that hard to play.
@@mylesblomenkamp8759 yeah
Serqet in my opinion. Anhur has high ceiling, but is same with Susano that even weaker players can do good with him.
Honestly, the hardest part about learning Serqet is reading her passive properly. Her kit is really easy to get used to, she was so much easier for me to play at a decent level that most other assassins. I mean heck, you get a free setup for your main damaging tool and you even get 2 chances.
I like her, probably will buy her soon, but she is extremely hard at first. At the end I was kicking ass, but it did take a while
serqets actually really easy and is to valuable to her team when behind
Serqet is actually pretty easy. Hardest part of her kit is her taunt and it's not that hard to hit. Plus she can build on the bulkier side so mistakes won't get punished as hard especially when she has two escapes.
good to know every can play serqet,cuz shes is the easiest god to play
+Kris M Serqet isn't that hard to play.
It's hard to get skilled enough to hit two enemies with Cobra's Kiss and then hit them both with Deathbane...
DeDragoon True, but that's not necessary in order to perform decently with her.
No, but it's definitely a very high skill ceiling, and she has a medium skill floor, so I'd consider her one of the more difficult assassins.
DeDragoon She's isn't the easiest of the bunch, that's for sure. At the same time, her skill floor (again, not ceiling) doesn't even come close to Ne Zha, who entirely relies on line abilities of which some have a delay.
Just want to point out the clickbait with sexy Nu Wa and then no mention of her in video...
Also have to say I'm surprised there was no mention of Chronos or Serqet in here. I think both are very hard to play and understand for new players or people trying them for the first time.
I put Nu Wa in there not to spoil any of the gods and because she is frequently called the easiest god due to her ult (though it's debatable). Using the exact ONE image of her where she covers her boobs would probably be in the Top 5 worst clickbait attempts ever if it actually was one.
I can see Chronos, I absolutely don't see why people think Serqet is hard.
I was wrong and didn't mean to offend - I apologize. This is the first video of yours I've seen and certainly didn't expect a reply.
You're right about the Nu Wa thumbnail and I understand your reasoning. As for Serqet, I suppose it's more about how to play her smart and utilize her passive; I - and I know I'm not alone by a long shot - had trouble even using her kit well at first, much less playing the goddess to most of her potential. I will definitely agree with Ullr being among the most difficult. I'd love to get good with him but always seem to mis-time my cooldowns or miss a vital skill shot.
how is chronos hard? press 1 they die. press 3 there stuned. press 3, stun, press 1 they die...
yeah chronos is simple, yet hitting your 1 is not that easy, you gotta time your stun, and learn your passive. Chronos without is passive is just a weaker mage
not at all. I find myself doing 700dmg with the 1 without using the 35% magical passive bonus. I tend to use the 100% mana refund more in the lvl 12 down for constant spamming and it works just fine... his stun is easy to hit as it is too large to miss unless your prediction sucks. other than being a bad player it should be very easy to use. Chronos.
What about Chronos? His 1 is a tiny AoE attack with considerable delay which makes it a true skillshot, his 3 is very slow moving so you have to be good at leading also making it a true skillshot and his only true escape is his ult which too has a considerable delay, so making good use of it is also... a true skill.
His saving grace that makes him a devastating god for highly skilled players is his short cooldowns and steroid.
If you have trouble landing those two with Chronos, you won't even hit anything with Ullr. Chrono's 1 and 3 isn't even that hard to master, and since Chronos is basically an ADC, you don't rely on his abilities to deal damage.
Ullr's axe 1 has longer delay and smaller hitscan, Ullr's bow 3 has tinier AoE (which is basically only one god) and considerable higher range, those who can master him just melts you at any stages of the game.
Kurosawa Shirou I play Ullr a lot and I don't consider him hard at all, actually.
+Laerei these are for newbies
His one is not that hard to hit once you get used to it and its radious is big enough to be able to hit a full wave if you basic attack the front creeps a couple of times.
His three,even though it's slow,you usually dont aim it at faraway targets,but rather on enemies close to you,making it easy to hit due to its big radious.
And finally his ullt is indeed slow to activate but you generally want to use it right before or while taking damage,not after,so you can guarantee your survival.
+David Valentine dude are you stupid or what? He is talking about chronos, not chiron lol
I would like to the top 5 easiest, but I got a feeling you'll be doing that anyway
I agree with this list up until this new patch. I don't know if The Morrigan eclipses Ullr but she has a very high skill cap in her ultimate meaning she has to know how to effectively use the god she is copying, which varies even more by how the player she is copying builds their god (like attack speed vs ability based power).
+Kcman200 Oh yeah, I haven't even played her yet and I'm pretty certain she would've easily ended up in the list if she already existed!
There is no such thinf as a good odin, loki, or nox
True. And I also don't get why fucking hunters was considered to be here. And he also considered scylla here. Like wow...
loki is one of the most stupid and easy gods in the game, the only thing making him hard is that he is just bad in conquest.
loki is actually a decent solo laner with bulwark and breastplate
Pesosgaming But seriously for solo lane? Why pick Loki? There's literally plenty of other gods out there that can do the same shit Loki do but better for solo
Well, obviously there can be. Just because they have high burst damage doesn't mean they take no skill. A bad Odin, Nox or Loki can be countered extremely easy
Terra is challenging so I just use her as a healer
That's also what I do, when trying to play her properly I miss everything...... including her ult lol
Yeah I'm sure with more practice you'll be great with her
It needs practice :) You can make wonders with her. I practiced her a lot, and she is insanely good. Just be VERY aggresive, don't be passive.
she is easy for me.
it depends on your build. I like to build her tanky. You can use her 3 then 1 followed by 2 to trap ppl on the point for extra damage. you can also use your 1 to run into ppl when there health is really low to get kills.
@DukeSloth I had a conversations where a Person said that smit doesn't requier as much Skill as other Mobas what do you say to that topic. You played other mobas do you agree or not?
Disagree.
I don't see how they would think that, SMITE's Unique to other MOBA's because of the fact that it has Third person, and that "most" abilities and attacks in the game are skill shots, but when you look at another MOBA, for example: league of legends, "most" abilities and attacks are fired by clicking on the enemy
+DukeSloth I agree with you, but Dota 2 does have a high learning curve. I find that game so annoying overall.
+Dwolf625 I would say Dota 2 is the hardest just because of how harsh it on deaths in other Mobas you lose some farm and they get some bonus gold for the kill Dota you lose out on farm and they steal gold from you for their bonus and then if you don't know what you're doing you quick spawn and use even more gold. However Smite would probably be the second hardest simply because they don't coddle you with hitting basics like other mobas hell I've played like 12 games of league and most of those I was 1v2ing in lane as an adc
***** now I haven't gotten huge into the other softcore mobas Dota being hardcore but from the little I have played them it seemed easier and less complicated the first moba I played at all was LoL in my first game I'm 1v2ing the whole game and not losing lane when I start to play Smite I'm getting my ass handed to me in every game I play
How is Susano even on honourable mentions? He's almost as easy as Loki.
This was his reason for being only an honourable mention. He is very easy to play, but hard to master. You can be a beast, when you are good with him and you can be very strong, when youre bad with him.
The only difference between a new Susano player and a master is being able to land the 3 on people.
Nah the difference is auto attack cancels since Susano non stop spams abilities. Squeezing few more autos can kill an enemy right away.
loki is hard to play :)
Loki is not easy to use against good and balanced teams, sure you can ult and 2 shot someone late game but getting out of there alive without getting spammed by CC and killed just as easily is the real challenge, also entire teams will always target a Loki player. Most of the game you will just sit around waiting for someone to get out of position for an easy kill but if that doesnt happen because the players are smart you will feel pretty useless.
Susano is hard to master but he has infinite escapes, best mobility in the game and he can pull you from across the goddamn lane, all of his abilities are also huge AoEs that are braindead easy to hit.
One thing I absolutely love about Ullr is how versatile he is. I haven't played on conquest in a while, waiting for S4, but if I remember he can be played ADC, Mid, and Solo. He could even potentially be played in the jungle. Don't know if these builds still work but for ADC I usually start with trans and potions, then boots, Asi (can go ichaviel if ahead), Qins, Titans or Jotunns (if you want the CDR), then a crit or Bloodforge, sell an attack speed item for more crit if you want to. Then for solo I usually went Bluestone, boots, and shit ton of mana pots, jotunns, then trans (kinda late stacking), ichaviel, breastplate to be slightly tanky, then crit or bloodforge or more AS - whichever you need or want more.
No Hel? :o
+MrKonny Brofist nah, her 3 alone is already very effective. She's only hard because she's weak, not because of her kit.
well a good Hel can utilize her 2 in both stances ( and mainly Light stance ) so much better than an averege player... like you can pretty much immediately notice if a Hel is good or not just from that.. and definetely she's harder than ne zha I think.. just opinions after all
Her 2 in dark stance is more or less apart of combing her damage, and all Hel players should being using it.
Her 2 in light stance isn't about being a good Hel player but just having overall good game awareness so you know when to use it.
You could say the same about both Ravana and Chang'e players. Neither of them are hard gods to play but both happen to have immunity abilities.
shes much harder to play than ne zha
and shes not week at all lol
1.ullr (the 6 skills and a pain to rotate his pin and he never scemes to.have his jump at the ready)
2.serquet (constantly have to know how much damage your poison can do and landing the 3 hits with her 1 and both her 2 and her ult are thin lines)
3.chronos (landing his 1 isnt easy and being able to time your 2 for the strongest buff from his passive is hard to keep track of)
4.hel (6 abilitys no dash and shes easy to learn hard to master a master hel will always land her cleanse on herself or her teammates and will keep in mind of her passive for mana regen for her and her teammates around her)
5.ares (always weird to build and if you cant land his 1 constantly he sucks but land his 1 and he rocks)
Sylvanus is hard for the same reasons as the rock girl.
You could say he has some wood. Sorry I'll leave
You don't need to be able to pillar stun on command to play anhur to a high potential. Chaining your jump to knock them towards a wall and then impaling them into said wall can sometimes even be more effective, because you can use the pillar to wall off an escape after that.
I dont think ullr is that hard to play
oh myth
Lol not if you build aa instead of ability based. What are you god rank 1 on him? And you build him like a normal hunter?
Mr. Fire knows his shit, but please explain to absolut the dreaded combos we pull off to achieve full potential ullr
Like just about every other god in smite?
If you master him right you can easily one shot dudes that try to hide behind towers and other interesting stuff.
00:01-00:44 that's so true specially when I first played geb , for me he was super hard to understand
Replace Ne Zha with Serqet. Ne Zha is pretty simple. land your abilities and you succeed. Serqet, on the other hand, requires you to to use the 4>2>1 combo and passive on one of many enemies.
Freya. You have to know when to press 2 and hold lc or press 2 AND 1 and hold lc
I don't agree with your list, I definitely think tyr should be there
It depends on the clunkiness of the abilities. I totally agree with Ullr. Switch from bow and hit 3 you 3 axe stun, the whole transition feel like it take at least 3 seconds...
Ability switching deities and deities that you have to double hit and ability are kinda tough for me.
Zeus is the hardest god
Ha...ha...ha. (sarcastic laugh)
have you even played loki.
u can't be serious xD
They didnt read it haha
omg thatz digusting but he did fucked bitches their was a scene when he air fucked a girl in a movie called hurcules i think
Ne Zha's ult should be activated like Serqet's grab. I've missed that dash so many times when the enemy is right in front of me... and I've landed it when just dashing away.
I've gotten better at it, but it's essentially a grab... so why doesn't it toggle like a grab?
Yo,where the Loki at?
And my man Anubis?
should be 1st. also nu wa should be on list
She's on the thumbnail lol
anubis and loki have low skill floor
WHAAAAAA?YOU'RE 100% JOKING RIIIIIGHT???!!!!11
osiris was my first diamond. i had always over looked him until i faced him kne day in solo lane and he trampled me. quin sai is a must. his 2 can take out the archers early on and you can box the enemy god inside their minions using your 3. even if they leap away you can poke them with your 2 (or 1) and too many times has my opponant tried backing under tower not realzing the distance of Osiris' abilities.
No Chronos?
My top 5 IMO
5. Agni, has so much potential to do so much with his 1.
4. Hel, managing her mana and switching stances can get complicated and most people misuse her 2 which can help a lot.
3. Ne Zha, he is almost all skill shot based and if you miss your 3 you have lost so much time for kill/outplay potential.
2. Terra, she can be unkillable if used properly and can create so much play.
1. Ullr, I agree with Ullr being difficult however, he is a hunter and all he really needs to do is land basics. he has an escape, a stun, a power spike and has extremely long range. but to be used to his full potential he can be unstoppable.
mmmmm, ne zha is very easy to play lol and osiris too
they are to you...
compared to who?
Exactly.
ne zha is very easy to play with the right build.. you can get a 1k crit by not even trying to get it... deathbringer and blood forged with the 2 is just way too op.. just 3, ult. if there still alive 2 and one hit them. I'm not seeing the skill here
Kyle Dewitt Exactly, all you have to do is hit the sash, and if you gotten a high crit and and the person is dead.
I feel like aphro and chang'e are hard to play to their fullest potential. Both require a lot of positioning awareness, timing of abilities, and dealing with the fact that everyone and their mother is out to kill you. Also, given the amount of anti-healing in the game and high burst assassins that can camp you in lane or focus you out almost immediately in team fights, or their inability to really deal with cc and getting bursted, they require a lot of practice. It is difficult to be relevant in game if you don't have said above things.
5. ah muzen cab
4.amaterasu
3.izanami
2.osiris
1.serqet
You literally hold left click with AMC
amaterasu is not that hard
+Ivan Alcazar using AMC in conquest against players that are good takes positioning and much more. any other game mode he's fucking dumb broken
Way better list tbh
the stance gods should be 1 group placed at #1
Serquet is hard as hell to play and I'd say that hel is quite hard too. Her cleanse is one of the few abilities in smite which asks you to know what skills ennemies are going to use. I think it's actually on a totally diffrent level than just predicting ennemies movements.
Here's my opinion
5). Terra/Osiris
4). Janus
3). Hou Yi/Anhur
2). Serqet
1). Ullr
Malcaster janus 😲😂😂😂
Hou yi is easy imo
Ne Zha can someone explain to me how is hitting Ne Zhas 1, 3, 4 hard? 1 goes off instantly ad they are slowed, 3 goes almost instantly and 4 is guaranteed hit after 3. Like the only thing you have to consider is "is the targets beads/aegis up". Now I'm not saying that he has low skill cap, remember we are talking about skill floor here, so if you 1, 3, 4 your target and it's dead you fulfilled your role decently even if you die for it. How is Raijin not here?
it's because he's an assassin with no guaranteed escape outside of landing your ult from a distance and getting bounced back. if he's stuck in the middle of like 3 enemies he's got nothing
just because ne zha has no escape doesn't mean he is hard at all if not you could say goobis or ah Puch is hard
+Universe_Cat3 Damn...showed him what the fuck is up. That's very true. Idk why he didn't think Tyr is even on the actual list and fucking HUNTERS are on here. All you gotta do is AIM like that's the most genetic thing about this game because that's what you do. On the other hand gods like Tyr it requires you to get up close. And he needs blink to be even relevant because no one is that stupid to just let a Tyr walk up to them and fearless you. And that leaves him at a disadvantage over relics. I respect Osiris being here but come on. A hard hunter? Bitch please just get your items up and aim. All there is to it
+Universe_Cat3 Uhm, in case you haven't realized, Ne Zha is melee and Ah Puch/Anubis are magic.
Envious We're not talking about them being magicals or physical. We're talking about the level of difficulty they are on
the hardest god for me is definitely osiris.
lel no
Ever Tried Chronos or Ullr?
Chronos is braindead easy to use >_>. Even if you aren't good with him in poking the enemy early/mid-game, as long as you can stay alive in lane, an inexperienced player can still shitstomp a good player end game with him. Easy to combo 2 shot skills. Not hard at all.
Tiir for me he's average
Chronos does take a lot of getting used to, with his awkward windups, a situational clock, relatively low health, a very difficult early for inexperienced players. Anyone can play Chronos late game by pressing 2 in section 4. However, timing his ult and being aware of where it will place you can be extremely difficult due to the age long windup, and landing his 1 can be very difficult for newer players
2:00 number 3 is what?
You know a list like this is bullshit when there is no mention of Hel, Ah Muzen Cab, Izanami, yet Ullr is at the top.
Ullr is hel with steroids, you need to pull the a3 a1 aa b3 aa b1 aa chain perfectly for any long range engagement and short range are a1 aa b3 aa b1 aa a3 aa or even mid range a1 b3 b1 aa. And I don't even want to talk about using your 2 properly on either stance
Ullrs a better hel the only difference is hel will be shit no matter what once she gets countered, and dick sloths list are just garbage
hel 3 is a huge circle the one hard ability on amc is his alt
Wait you think those gods are hard? No, theyre just not good. Cab is super easy and straight forward. Izanami isnt hard either aside from her ult, and hel is ehh in terms of difficulty. Once you understand her abilities she is very easy to play, i was playing her super early on in my smite experience and it wasnt hard to catch on.
none of those gods are hard
Chronos? You always have to be watching your hp for your ult, your time wheel thing (don't know what tf it's called)and be able to consistently hit your time rift, and slow time isn't super hard to hit but is still a slow-moving ability
R.I.P ares, but i appreciate you putting ullr in their. :)
kameron dubois I never said he was hard, but this video was talking about skill ceilings aswell. so please try not to start an argument.
I was hoping Ares would be on here... You need perfect positioning and missing a chain can end a fight quickly. I'm working on 9000 worshipers with em lol
Yea i was hoping aswell. due to him having a high skill ceilings and a not so low floor. I still laugh when i see ares players just spam any aura items they find in the shop. XD
Pen boots > Sov > Hw/Void Stone depending on game state > Breastplate > Hw/Void > Gem/Winged Blade depending on game state
thats the thing he dosent have a high skill ceiling all his abilities are pretty easy 2 land besides his chains. Mind you that I dont play conquest but on arena every time I see an ares on the enemy team if you dont get purification and he ults you as long as his team is paying any sort of attention your guaranteed 2 die
I feel like Agni is one of those gods who has a high skill floor but a low skill cap. This sounds like it doesn't make any sense, but if you take a complete noob for example and ask him to play Agni, he'll always, and ALWAYS put his Nox. fumes up first. But once you learn you can use Nox. fumes after your abilities persist, it becomes second nature and intuitive, even. Flame wave, of course, is an exception because nobody can easily guess that the FX were implemented as a part of utility, not style, but other than that, Agni becomes really simple to play.
For me:
5) Thanatos
4) Guan yu
3) Zhong kui
2) Ne zha
1) Serqet
Dark I play serquet, and I really agree with her being the hardest for me, yet I still have fun
I can't tell if this list is sarcastic, because Thanatos and Zhong Kui are on the list.
ullr is not the hardest at all, u stun them then freely unload your kit onto them, if you miss your kit on them he is a hunter so you still have your basic attacks, if you fail to hit your basic attacks you have a melee basic attack form. if you are in trouble you have a built in sprint relic, a leap and a stun. I do not agree with the ullr placement but the rest I don't mind
I disagree with Anhur because even without the pillar impale combo he's a really strong god to play, I honestly expected Hel to be on here too
Hel is pretty straightforward,but she seems hard because healers are way out of meta due to antiheal being a viable choice
strong and easy to play are 2 different things
I agree, Anhur was one of my first gods and I did way better with him than gods like Loki and Anubis.
Same, i actually find hel difficult as you have to switch forms and its really confusing.
big bullshit hel difficult ? fucking shut up
I feel Thor is difficult to play in ranked conquest for me. Communication is really needed between teammates when Thor is on the map.
I would have put serqet
Duke sloth, what do you use to walk around in-game as I see W is mapped to your ability ??
Personally i don't agree with Ullr being number 1. If you build him with hastened and crit and just basic people you will easily be able to do well with him. I do get where you're coming from but I still think he isn't the hardest god in smite
He is if you build around his kit. Honestly I shutter at the site of a level X Ullr, not a X Artemis or X Neith. Besides, building crits doesn't account for much when the entire world does it.
If I may ask, who in your opinion is the hardest god to use?
The heck, the point of this entire video is about the kit of that God. That's like saying Aphrodite can kill people easily but I don't consistently heal or use my ultimate for others. I hope you understand where we are all coming from.
theblinfultruth I don't have one specific god but I would say someone like Aphrodite because she has to be healing everyone on a team so she has to be able to get to different places quickly
Hastened on hunters
*triggered*
hardests gods in smite are in my opinion :thor , anhur and ullr
6:09 anhur's skill floor at its finest
Where's Ymir????
Ymir? hard? what are you? mental
i dont think he is mental, i dont think he got an entire legion of aliens!
/s
RiPshoT maybe i wasnt making fun or anything like that, but i guess people that play smite had never played serious sam, so i guess that the joke of mental goes above their heads!
I don't understand why Sylvanus is not somewhere as he has the smallest line only equal in size to Anubis ult and you are completely stopped while using the ability.
imo Skadi is fairly difficult. Her abilities are easy to land, yes, but you have to manage Kaldr's life carefully. If he dies at the wrong time, you lose 2/3 of your potential damage when it could be critical to a teamfight.
not if you go crit
Firecell Kaldr still has double Skadi's damage when using her full combo. It's a waste not to use him.
yeah i mean my combo with sakdi is 1 2 4 basic and they are dead since i basically deal 4.4 times my basic attack power
Well you could do that with almost every hunter then, "just go crit" its not utilising the kit though
***** really easy to kill if your team isn't there to help tho #NoEscapes
personally I feel Bakasura is the hardest god in the game, as you can't really go from team fight to team fight thanks to how charging his ult works, coupled with the fact that if your opponents are on level with you by about 10 you are going to be useless for the rest of the match. plus thanks to raw hp items giving 400 hp and the Sash tree each giving magic gods 250+ your 3 is now useless to against anyone who know what it does. He'll also never get a buff because Hi rez doesn't want him controlling the entire right side of the map like back when he was viable. it is near impossible to win with him outside of completely snowballing in the early game when he still matters.
I already knew what number 1 was, I mean most players know that :D
Oh but didnt you know duke meant vulcan, not ullr. its so hard to place your turrent, go get some doritos and come back to a penta kill
The Virtuous Ghost You forgot to mention to press 4 when he sees a teamfight going on somewhere :)
what did he say? turur? 2:59
Anhur? Hard to play? Lolololoollolooloool no.
TopHatTaco
His abilities are simple, easy to hit, and in no way makes him even remotely hard to play.

"His abilities, using them properly, and hitting them, is very hard." I mean yeah, if you just started the game yesterday.
You know this entire video was him saying "This is my opinion" right?
NotSoGood
Of course. And in my opinion (which is biased, since I am a Hunter main), Anhur is not hard to play in the slightest.
TopHatTaco
If anything, being a Hunter main would make Anhur way easier to play. Do you know how logic works?
Ullr is pretty easy if you know how to change stances and have a high damage build. I prefer to play Ullr (Arena) with Trascendence, Warrior Tabi, Asi, Malice, Titan's Bane and Deathbringer. That build deals a ton of damage making your enemy to beg out. When this happens I change stance and doing a 3 and then a 1 to leave him or her stunned and finishing with a 2 in melee stance or change to bow and perform a 1. It's pretty easy to use once you get used to the stance changing and the punishing.
susano? Hello? hes kinda simple af...come on, its not hard to be a good susano
yeah, you can pick up Susanoo pretty fast but, he's always at least a mention in these lists because he probably has the highest skill cap in the game.
There's just so many ways to combo his abilities, then there's the 25 attack cancels he can do, teleporting for flanking, timing pulls... he's like the Gnji of Smite right now.
I think people just find him hard just for the fact that he doesn't generally 'blow up' people with their abilities like a raijin and ratatoskr. He's more of that poke you then while your health is low enough he can maybe kill you. He's similar to scylla. When she misses her 1 and 2 and assuming her ult isn't up. All her damage is just gone
Zach Berens ...Maybe you're just bad? Because the gods you just mentioned are easy as fuck. Seems to me you're just playing mainstream gods. I'm gonna guess you don't play warriors
excuse me, he plays odin lmao. Jokes aside, hel has a high skill cap. By saying that I just mean anyone can play hel and seem good, but a hel who knows the kit and build can seem utterly better. Ao is just a sitting duck if you don't use his 1 right.
you dont use =d basic attack cancel that why you think susano is ez
My opinion on hardest gods to play (as of 2017)
-Ao Kuang; A close-range mage is dangerous to play, his passive is difficult to manage and his abilities require good use.
-He Bo; His abilities are fairly short range and have rather small targeters, requiring high risk and high precision
-Isis; Most of her abilities require careful aiming
-Janus; Knowing how to combo is buffs mid-fight to get the most from his damage, also aiming his wavy attack
-Nu Wa; Properly wielding all her utility
-Sol; Predicting how best to use her escape, and predicting the path of an enemy for her ult
-The Morrigan; Knowing what god to switch to and when
-Zhong Kui; A short-range mage whose abilities must be comboed well to be effective
1.Anubis
2.Zeus
3.Neith
4.Bakasura
5.Bastet
definitely if it's your 7th time playing smite.
+Koen Sonneveld definitely it's your 7th time coming across sarcasm
Top 5 easiest gods to play?
C'mon Neith is way harder to play than Anubis !
+NeoLS 27 no. neith is a lot easier than anubis. 1. with passive rooting enemies is insanely easy 2. she can backflip away from a bad spot
Listening to what you have said ne da gas the same difficulty level of ra more or less, And another thing, where is the he bo?!? It is noto very difficult to hit his abilities but it is the perfect definiti on of a "glass cannon" and so very difficult to play well, even more than ullr
"Zeus is the hardest god in smite"
Good video :)
For me the hardest god is:
Hel:
- she has no escape
- she has no real cc to balance the 1st point (slow is mehh)
- she has no real ultimate (deals quite a lot dmg with her 3 in dark stance, but then there is Nox with almost 4 ultimates with her 1 and 2 dealing more then a 1000 dmg and her escape deals over 700 when built pure dmg)
- she relies on heals heavily, which wouldn't be a problem, if there wouldn't be so many heal reduction items (a.k.a Curse, Brawlers, Pestelance, so on...)
- though her 3 is big in radius, it's not like e.g Scylla's 2, she HAS TO be quite close/closer to the enemy to deal the dmg, Scylla only has to throw out Crush into the distance and gg
- the focus she gets every match (it doesn't matter that you have great heals if 4 people are attacking you and you don't even have a chance to press 3)
And the god I'm the worst at is poor Tyr :( I can't make him work..Shame on me y.y
Anways, thanks for the list, it was interesting to hear your opinion about it. Have a nice day! =)
I think nu wa shoulda been on here. If u don't understand her she feels so weak. Her combo is pretty hard to land and positioning is very important for dealing her burst
Especially her ult. I'm always missing that skillshot
Yeah but the damage is awkward and isn't even apart of her burst until late game
Twin Blade Volt wha? He ult is a free 500 damage
bullshit
how is nu wa's stun hard to hit? all you have to do is aim at stationary minions
Top 5 : neith, loki, ymir, hebo, anubis. Who agree?
Duke who would you say is harder to play at a competitive level, Azir (LoL) or Ullr?
rama ult "Extremly hard to land" i never missed any shot its super ez
יhigher player will know how to juke
why the fuck you lying why you always lying mmmm o my god stop fucking lying
Ikr and btw I am the queen of england. u know its true cause I just claimed it.
that is try but you can also say higher skilled rama can be able to see the doges.
Right...
who was nr 3? didnt get name. villish? :s
I think that the hardest god is probably -scylla
you haven't played ullr then lol
trust me scylla has a decently low skill floor ullr and Osiris are miles higher
this was joke lol ullr isthat hard to use but skill floor is very high
Can you remake this to the new meta? I am sure a rework of this video would have to have The Morrigan somewhere.
Terra is hard lul
TERRAbly hard.
Espically for new players when I first played her I thought she could do AT LEAST SOME damage but she hardly does shit.
She can do pretty hard damage with the correct build, especially when you know wich stone you should shatter when, and abuse of that double dash thing after it. She has two hard CC after all, an entire map ult that gives free usage of abilities (Spam these babies) and huge heals on the side! Fun to play, not fun if you don't do damage tho
Try Ne Sha with shield of regrowth as defensive item (of course depending on enemy team comp). It lets you get speed buff after you hit your 2, which is awesome.
furst
you mentioned the auto cancels for some gods like susano. Do you think you could do a video talking about the gods that this is a valued skill for? Bc I hardly knew this was a thing. Also good video as always! Keep up the good work!
To make it short: Almost all assassins + Medusa. But it can be used on any god but Serqet, really. Today's video will by about Hydra's lament and partially adress it.
what?!? so you mean medusa. the god i have diamond on ps4 and xbox 1. that is interesting lol thanks duke!
I believe Scylla being mentioned as a honorable mention was pretty off. Even back in 2016, her 1 -> 2 -> you dead combo worked pretty well, giving her a relatively low skill floor.
I'm kinda surprised hou yeezus wasn't mentioned. Yeah he's good in general, but to be very good at playing him with the triple taps and the stun ult combo can be pretty difficult. Not as difficult as ullr, but definitely more difficult than anhur
I would replace Ne Zha with Awilix. Her damage comes mostly from timing and placements. For instance, to use her 3/Ult/2 combo you'd need to be behind a god which is difficult in most scenarios. Yes her ult works with team knockups and jump escapes but she'd have to have the reaction time and close enough distance to use her ult.
Honestly don't think Awilix is that hard once you get used to her, but then again I've played her a crapton - she's my most played god, so I might be biased.
when would we see the next video regarding Patch notes Duke? I am really keen to hear your opinion to be honest
Sloth can you make a video tomorrow on the leaked camazotz?
I'd of thought Janus would be up there. Anyone can hit his combo or get a snipe once in a while, but to actually be useful to your team as Janus mid in conquest takes a lot of skill. He's a top pick in SPL but his ranked win rate is around 40% . To use your portals and positioning effectively rather then just being there for damage is the trick
2:12 who?
I know she wasnt out at the time, but The Morrigan definitely needs to be on this list.
Never thought Tera was hard to play, but maybe because I play mainly guardians and support. I usually think Fafnir is harder to play because his 1 is a skill shot and very dependent on teamwork to make most use out of his ultimate. All the others I definitely agree though.
Was the Morgen out at this time?
Im surprised serqet isnt here, not even in the honerable mentions when gods like scylla, susanoo and terra are. I'm not saying im bad with her but she definitely took a lot longer to learn to use than any gods i played. Meanwhile the 3 i mention were pretty easy bc of either clear, heal, high support, mobility or high dmg. But well thats just my opinion and my experience but seeing from the top comments and game of the day where the teams switch gods they tend to pick serqet. Other than that I agree with your list except maybe ullr being #1 he is definitely a challenge but not that much of a challenge especially if people build him like most hunters
I personally think Chronos is really difficult to get a handle on. I don't play him much, but when I get him in assault on occasion he gives me trouble.
But have you ever stancedanced on a hel whilst managing mana and fighting a 1v9
I main anhur, and u dont have to hit ur pillar combo all the time , but u need to be smart early game and get ahead + u need to know when to impale someone to a wall . He is very strong in 1 vs 1.
This video made me realize that even the "hardest" gods in Smite aren't that difficult. We don't have a single god that works like "if you don't play him to his maximum potential or close to it you will do awfully"
I just got back into Smite (PS4) and bought #3. I feel as if I'm only using half his potential and I almost never land his ulti
It’s interesting to see this video suggested to me 4 years later
Chronos is pretty hard to play in my opinion, if you're trying to go ability based, which is viable if you hit your 1, and that can be very hard. do to its delay, and a smart player will be able to dodge it almost every time if you don't hit your stun which also can be extremely hard to hit because of how goddamn slow it flies. He is also squishy and contrary to what a lot of people think you can't really use your ult when you have super low life because they can easily kill you during the initial cast.
Imo Hel should be on this list somewhere. And as for Terra... she was made for me. First game as her and i knew exactly what to do. Her kit is sooo fun, but she has so little dmg that she can only support. I would love to play her in solo.
Honestly idk if it's natural skill or what, but Ne Zha isn't hard at all to me. Because of this, I'd agree with all of it except Ne Zha, replacing it with either Serqet (her combos are very weird for me) or Awilix (she changes the pace of the game by so much, you have to think and move much faster)
I'd also consider switching Terra with Sylv because without his pull he's worth much less and that pull is hard af to hit against good opponents.
This list definitely shows that "hard" is a very opinionated topic. For example, of the gods you mentioned, there is no way I would have even considered Susano, Rama, Terra, or Osiris in this list. All of these gods have relatively low skill floors, and as such you generally don't feel frustrated when playing with them, so you can play them more often and easily improve on them. Yes, they all have high skill caps, but so do most of the gods in the game.
Gods I would have considered before these would have been Chronos, Serqet, and Sylvannus, but the reason for those is because of the inherent difficulty to use core abilities in their kits. I would probably put Izanami as harder than them as well, but that was just because she was underpowered.
