Best Smite Gods
Vulcan is the Smith of the Gods and is the first God on this Best of Smite list. In the mid lane, Vulcan can deal some serious damage to anyone passing through. When he has to leave the lane or suspects a gank, a nearby turret he can place will fire on any incoming enemies. He can use his backfire to move away from other Gods while damaging them or get closer to them to launch some attacks. He can damage and knock them up with his “meatball,” Magma Bomb and when it’s time to send the Gods to their graves, he can send a massive rocket through the sky, landing on a cluster of other Gods. When a Vulcan is in the mid lane, prepare your defenses. Homie doesn’t play and is one of the best Smite gods.
Best Smite Gods
Bacchus is the God of Wine, a hot mess, and the drunker he gets, the better and is one the best Smite gods. Bacchus is good at jumping in and messing up someone’s day. He can knock people up with his belly flop, belches so loudly that it can stun people, and when he uses his ultimate it makes everyone around him stumble every which way in a drunken stupor while buffing the magical damage he and the other magical Gods on his team throw at the poor party poopers and is one of the best Smite gods. If you’re looking for a good time, team up with a Bacchus.
Best Smite Gods
Geb is the Egyptian God of Earth and a not so gentle giant. Although not one of the most offensive of the Guardians, he is hard to get rid of and when he does decide he and his friends are done fighting it’s hard to keep them around. He has a dash that allows him to knock enemies back, which can force them to disengage or land them in the middle of the Geb’s team, a strong AOE knock up, and a shield that he can place on himself or allies that can be a real pain to shred through and is one of the best Smite gods.
Best Smite Gods
Nemesis is the Goddess of Vengeance and a very powerful Assassin in the current Smite meta and is one the best Smite gods. She is a master at chasing down her enemies and dealing a lot of damage as she does so. Her dash allows her to run up, hit them with a powerful, half-circle of damage, and when the opponent turns around or starts to fight her, she can just pop on her shield and either run away or strip them down to nothing with her ultimate. Don’t piss off a Nemesis. Or be caught out in the Jungle.
Best Smite Gods
Amaterasu is The Shining Light and a utility based Goddess who can dominate in her lane once she gets ahead and is one the best Smite gods. When in fights, she can either boost the damage her teammates dish out or she can increase their speed to allow them to chase down and engage or run away and regroup. In fact, she likes chasing down enemies and not letting them get away, and she does this very well when she hits numerous Gods with her ultimate which damages and stuns anyone in her way and is one of the best Smite gods.
Best Smite Gods
Chang’e is the Faerie of the Moon and although she’s currently in a rough patch as many healers are, she is still a powerful one with a good amount of damage and some sweet dance moves and is one the best Smite gods. Chang’e, when used by a good player, will dance out of the way of a lot of damage and throw forward her ultimate to stun and take the life of anyone in her lane. And, with her bunny companion, she rarely has to leave her lane, allowing her to stay longer than other Mages and gain more experience and push down towers and is one of the best Smite gods.
Best Smite Gods
Awilix is the Mayan Goddess of the Moon and ruins the day of any character with a lea pand is one the best Smite gods. With her pet panther Suku, she can ride on the back of him to gain more speed and jump onto unsuspecting targets, she can also command Suku forward, knocking up any Gods not looking at her and, with her ultimate, pulls them onto the ground with a devastating blow. So check your corners when going into the Jungle. She could be stalking you, ready to pounce and and is one of the best Smite gods.
Best Smite Gods
Medusa is The Gorgan and a stone cold killer on the Battlefield of the Gods and is one the best Smite gods. Medusa is a powerful ADC that has a strong clearing ability, the ability to conjure poison bolts to fire at her enemies, a dash that allows her to get out of fights and to engage quickly and if other Gods have the misfortune of looking at her when she fires up her ultimate will be turned into stone, damaging them and freezing them in place so that she can fire some shots at them to finish them off and and is one of the best Smite gods.
Best Smite Gods
Thor is the God of Thunder and, in Smite, is the God of dunking on his enemies and is one the best Smite gods. This God can teleport himself in and out of situations with a throw of his mighty hammer, can stun and cut off others from escape routes and keep them from running away from fights and ganks. And, of course, his ultimate lets him shoot up into the sky and come crashing down, stunning and damaging any opponents he lands on.
Best Smite Gods
Terra is the Earth Mother, and a strong guardian to have on your team and is one the best Smite gods. Like many of the Gods, Terra has seen nerfs and buff, especially in regards to her healing abilities. But now she is in pretty decent shape and can use her abilities to damage and slow enemies, but also heal her allies and, when they are in fights going south, can heal and speed them up from across the map, giving them a chance to get themselves out.
Best Smite Gods
Ra is the Egyptian Sun God and one of the first Gods many gamers were introduced to in Smite. He’s an easy Mage to pick up, but in the hands of a good player, he’s not easy to kill. Much like two of the other Mages on this list, he can snipe characters from a far and deal a hell of a lot of damage, but what makes him so scary to go up against is that if you don’t kill him, he can fall back and heal himself and his team.
Best Smite Gods
Khepri is the Dawn Bringer, and the bringer of life in fights that have not gone in your favor. His ultimate can revive allies that have been struck down and killed in action, but that’s not all the hug bug can do. He can lock down Gods by pulling them into allies so that they can beat them up or root them in place with a damaging beam of light. This makes him a good protector to have on your team and and is one of the best Smite gods.
Best Smite Gods
Janus is the God of Portals and Transitions. AKA the God of mobility and getting your team, and yourself, in and out of fights and bad situations. A good Janus can save team members from afar by placing portals for them to walk through or by placing one under an enemy’s feet and is one of the best Smite gods. Not to mention that he does damage. Mad, mad damage.
Best Smite Gods
Hou Yi is the Defender of Earth and a powerful Hunter in Smite. Hou Yi can be played very offensively, jumping into combat and stunning others with a combination of his Mark of the Golden Crow and Ricochet for an opportunity to get some real damage off while the other God can’t escape. He can also use his abilities to slow and stop enemies from chasing him down and is one of the best Smite gods.
Best Smite Gods
Sol is the Norse Goddess of the Sun and, although not necessarily the top performing Mage as of late, is a popular pick and can run the mid lane or act as an ADC. Despite having her Disapparate ability nerfed, she can use it to escape and close the gap between her and fleeing opponents, and with her Radiance and Stellar Burst she can clear and poke enemies quickly and effectively and is one of the best Smite gods.
Best Smite Gods
Thoth is the Arbiter of the Damned and one of the top Mages to run in the middle lane. Although his early game isn’t the strongest around, he can clear and poke enemies from afar and use his Glyph of Pain to extend those attacks and power them up or to make a quick escape when getting jumped on or is caught out of position and is one of the best Smite gods.
Best Smite Gods
Fafnir is the Lord of Glittering Gold and also a Dragon. Sometimes. Only in his ult. But more importantly, he’s one of the top performing supports in the game. With his ability to be both offensive and defensive, he can hold a lane for a fleeing ADC or one that needs a bit of help in the early game as well as buff teammates and lock down opponents and is one of the best Smite gods.
Susano is the God of the Summer Storm, and is currently one of the best Assassins to pick up for the Jungle. He had fallen far from his initial popularity and strength since his release, but the God is back on top and in good fighting shape with abilities that allow him to pull fleeing enemies in, chase them down, as well as escape sketchy encounters and situations and is one of the best Smite gods.
Best Smite Gods
Bellona is the Roman Goddess of War and, to probably a lack of surprise, holds the number one spot in this list of Smite Gods. Although it’s a close call in the solo lane between Bellona and Osiris, it’s her mobility, her clear, and her ability to disarm Osiris that puts her on top in the Warrior class and is one of the best Smite gods.
