On top of this, your team's minions provide welcome distractions to not only their counterpart's on the opposite team, but also enemy structures, meaning that it's well worth sticking around your minion waves so that they can take some of the heat off you. As a result, sticking together with your teammates wherever you can, as well as recognising when you should retreat to safety, are key things to learn. Since SMITE is a team game, you'll increase the opportunity for these swift deaths if you run around on your own trying to take everyone on yourself. You'll quickly learn that even when playing some of the more resilient gods you can be killed very, very quickly if you get in a bad situation. There's a whole other meta-game in SMITE around which order to level your skills, as well as which items to buy, and this can be incredibly hard to get your head around, so it's best left until you've got a lot more experience.


It's also worthwhile starting out with auto-level and auto-buy turned on, as this will allow the game to automatically choose which skills to level up, and the best items to buy with your gold.

Here you'll learn how to fight your way to the enemy base, farm NPC minions for gold and experience, as well as when to push your lane or go on the defensive. Since Conquest has three lanes, Joust acts as a primer for how to fight in a single lane without having to think about the added complexity that the additional two will bring. This'll give you ample opportunity to get used to your god's skills - as well as those of the gods that you'll come up against – and will help you get to grips with your character's strengths and weaknesses.Īfter you're comfortable with the abilities at your disposal, you should move onto Joust where two teams of three fight in a single lane. Rather than jump into Conquest right from the start, though, it's best to spend time in a couple of the other game modes in order to learn the ropes.įirst off is Arena - an approximation of Team Deathmatch - where you can hone your skills with your chosen god in a chaotic melee of deity-on-deity action. Of all the game modes in SMITE, Conquest is the most challenging and will be immediately familiar to anyone who's played a MOBA before. One source that can help speed up this understanding are the 'Know Your Enemy' god guides found on the SMITE YouTube channel, which provide excellent primers for how to get the most out of your chosen starting hero - at least, once you've got a basic handle on how they play. With each character sporting five abilities, you may think that it takes no time at all to learn a particular god, but you'll quickly find that they each play very differently, and that it can take many games to pick up every tactical nuance. As a result, it's worth taking the time to try out Neith (Hunter), Ra (Mage), Thor (Assassin), Ymir (Guardian), and Guan Yu (Warrior) before picking one to be the first god that you'll master.

While some of these free gods rotate in and out each week, there are five – one for each of the classes – that are always available. Since SMITE is a free-to-play game, you'll only have free access to a small number of the seventy or so deities to begin with. So, if you're looking to get into SMITE, we're here with some hints and tips to help you speed straight up the steep learning curve common in MOBAs, and become a god in the lanes.

It's strange, then, that this multiplayer juggernaut has largely bypassed PlayStation consoles and it's only with the recent release of SMITE on PS4 that a new and previously untapped audience now has a chance to see just what all the fuss is about.

MOBAs (Multiplayer Online Battle Arenas) have had a massive impact on the PC gaming landscape as they collectively rode the growing wave of game streaming to become one of the industry's biggest genres.
