Apollo ADC Gameplay Guide | Late Game Beast! (SMITE A-Z Conquest)

[@MastYT]

One thing I forgot to mention in the video, they recently reworked Apollo passive a bit so you can also get 2 stacks every time you hit an enemy god with one of your damaging abilities.

[@mikeomrad1187]

Mast - and full passive when you land from ult ❤️

[@donaldduck9326]

Also, doesn’t Apollo 2 give you a minor phys protection? Or was that changed. I haven’t played in a while.

[@CaptainHook4444]

You get the physical defense yes

[@MastYT]

@@donaldduck9326 it does

[@doggymike1620]

Says exe tilts him then buys exe lol

[@anthonyorosco1850]

8:34 Athena didn’t know the heim was going to be there. You can see on the map the second she saw the heim she turned to help you. She’s Athena but she can’t teleport to you that fast.

[@keithdodd6634]

Anthony Orosco boots would’ve kept him alive but he went devos instead

[@atmes7257]

Yep he was the one that bailed on his team not the other way around. Sometimes ppl just get tunnel visioned and it happens to us all

[@anthonyorosco1850]

Also I’m pretty sure his team thought the exact same thing “why is our Apollo fighting the heim when the rest of his team is running down the weak Vulcan

Truuu

[@halowaffles]

7:34 Some important things to note when describing a single-line target ability, in Apollo's case: -Passes through multiple enemies -Doesn't stop on god hit -Passes through walls/Player made obstacles

[@KitsuneDino]

Going back and rewatching old mast videos. Missed watching you man. Got me into playing on console for a bit.

[@MaoDopamineDong]

This is how all my games go. Get smacked in lane, get smacked mid game, get smacked late game. Pray for a miracle. But mostly F6

[@XENOX-777]

If u wanna learn the duo lane would highly recommend watching TheOtherFrost's older videos, he stopped doing smite on youtube but he is really good at duo and teaches other players how to do better

[@CottidaeSEA]

I wreck people in lane with Apollo. Just build up stacks for your passive, then fucking melt anything that stands in your way. You're pretty much unbeatable while your passive is up, so keep at it until the passive is down, then dash out. Rinse and repeat. Either you bully your opponents out of lane, or you get kills. You obviously have to watch out for CC, but that's something you need to watch out for at all times. Your 2 and 3 are amazing at disengage, so use them wisely. I find the late game to be way more problematic, which is why I'm here trying to get some tips, although I'm pretty sure I'll find nothing useful.

[@lostsurferjames5]

Great game! A really good example of how to play from behind and why not to just F6 at 10 minutes everytime.

[@BlankName88]

I like how that Heim was laughing as if Heim isn't broken and chunks you and requires 0 skill to play well.

[@c_f0rce]

Saying a hunter requires no skill just isn't true. He's really good. That doesn't mean it doesn't take skill. Plenty of bad players preform bad on him

[@KFCM4R1O]

Bad players are different than average, and all you have to do is be average to be good at heim. Especially when it comes to boxing. Only skill that comes to him is being positioned and using your 3 correctly.

[@Charlies_Factory]

C_Force hes the easiest hunter to do well on. You only have to focus on one auto at a time. His one is a huge chunking AOE his ult is almost instant and does insane dmg his 3 is basically the “most difficult” and all you do is escape correctly with it. Dude is a joke. Im guessing you’re low rank since you have seen these “bad players” play bad on him lol

[@BlankName88]

@@c_f0rce I didn't say playing a hunter requires no skill. I said playing Heim requires no skill. His autos have cleave, he has an aoe that does massive damage AND a knockup, an ability with insane range and damage his 1, and his ult is OP as fuck when you combo it with his knockup. Even a brain dead potato can dominate with him.

[@Cipher132]

C_Force I legit have only played 2 hunter characters before, Appolo and Hou Yi. And Heim is legit the easiest character ive played, my first game i went 26-7 with 18 assits in a 24 minute game. I have hime rank 3 and i havent lost a game as him. He 5 hits squishy caharcters at lvl 1 lol hes broken asf rn.

Yo Mast, new subscriber and new player Lovin the A-Z please keep it up!!! These vids are so informational and well done, thanks bro Been a fan of games like league and heroes of the storm and overwatch... glad I got another game to add in there✌

[@connorhess4294]

I’m excited for the Artemis one, she’s my favorite god to play despite her not being super great this season, there’s just other adc, Apollo included that are straight up better

[@atlasfailedatlas1557]

2:21 probably should have followed the Athena there and do purple before wave.

[@boxhead1993]

I swear mast uses the same thumbnail for every Hunter ADC build Devo's, wind demon/poison star, and executioner

[@szizimon9777]

Cant wait for Kephri in the A-Z or just Kephri solo in general since he is such a op god and needs damage nerfs due to his one shot potential

[@Mirro18]

God I know it will take a while for us to come to S but I am already looking forward to see some Sol. I know Mast doesn't like her I just love her.

[@andremartinez418]

At 12:56 you did get shelled but you only had 25hp so him still killed with an auto.

[@nathansnyder3438]

Glad you pulled out that sweet team fights toward the end. Great A-Z vid for sure

I just recently got back in after quitting in season 3, its still a great game, im really enjoying myself

[@truejacky632]

I’m an Apollo main ! Trust me Apollo is really op in the right hands of course. Btw my build is completely different, so I will try your build and see how it goes for me. Thanks for playing Apollo 😍 my underrated god

[@jordanminnick4386]

Just curious - since you're going triple crit anyway, why not get Fail Not instead of Rage. I feel like it would be more worth for the passive and CDR

[@RGCfishingg]

if this was my matchmaking my teammates would be spamming you rock cancel that and the surrender at ten :( I love watching these videos cause I feel like im always playing from behind

[@CheeterCheese567]

Makes me wonder if Mast cast every game he plays. I get that some games don’t go well so he doesn’t upload them. Wouldn’t that mean Mast commentates every match until it’s a good game.

[@aegerman6317]

CheeterCheese567 He states often that he records a lot of games but only posts ones that are competitive and interesting for both teams

[@Chaves8888]

Maybe kkkk

[@L3jin]

21:29 talks shit at Heim then proceeds to say "We're gonna go into Rage"......well....didn't we just.....

Is Apollo good? I wanted to play him for a while and some people told me he wasn’t very good so I decided to play other gods but from how you played he looks decent, maybe I’ll give him another try.

[@joshuajohnson3713]

Weak3n ranked Apollo A Tier. He's decent in the hands of a decent player, but not OP like Heimdallr is at the moment

Hey Chat and Mast! I want to ask you a question. What do you think of Dev these days? Imo it's almost never worth it, and Trans is so much better. Even if God's can't use trans well enough, hydras or bloodforge seems better

I try to stay around 1.75 attack speed for Passive. There is Silverbranch though.

[@meganb.2249]

Heimdallr is basically Draven. Ugh -,-

[@ZODINtheEVIL]

So I notice Mast going for Devo Gauntlet in this game. What gods would they work better for vs bloodforge?

[@nahhfam7678]

Inderpal Virdi For all ADCs, blood forge is situational if you are getting the kills required to make the items ability activate. Gods this applies best to is gods that duel or gods that team fight with abilities. These two methods rely on burst damage which make it easier to get the benefit of bloodforge. However basic attack focuses hunters may struggle to get final hit so gauntlet could be a safer option however the main reason is the extra life steal from basics which allow attack speed hunters in particular stay in lane and farm more efficiently. Late game however, it's worth considering selling the gauntlet and switching it for bloodforge for the extra power now that lane sustain can be traded off for the potential bloodforge gives to a hunter in a team fight. So to answer your question, gods I would build devourers gauntlet on would be; Apollo, Rama, Izanami, Xbalan, Artemis and Jing Wei. Some gods can be either ability or basic attacks so you could feasibly build bloodforge after Trans or alternatively devourers gauntlet on; Ah Muzen, Anhur, Cern, Chernobog, Medusa and Neith.

[@ZODINtheEVIL]

Nahh Fam thank you for the break down man, much appreciated

[@albertomoreno-torres7776]

Nice, a new vid on me bdayyy, you’re to good to me :)

[@idonno21]

Can we get a cuchulian vid I’m forced into the warrior role and would like to spice it up but Idk how to play him properly and the rage mechanic is a little confusing

[@Logan-cw9yr]

Cu will be at the end of the 'C' gods since this series is doing them in alphabetical order. In the meantime, Cu builds rage by successfully hitting abilities. The more targets he hits with an ability, the more rage he gains (with the exception of his vent steam ability, which does AoE DoT around you and purposefully reduces how much rage you have). Once you surpass 85 rage you transform after a few seconds and have a limited amount of time as the hulk where your abilities do more damage and generally more CC and you automatically vent steam the entire time you're transformed. The key to mastering the rage mechanic is staying close to 85 rage by using vent steam or purposefully missing abilities (which also reduces rage by the amount that they cost) so that as soon as you need a power spike, you can hit an ability and transform and hulk smash everything. Cu's biggest strength because of the way his abilities work is fighting multiple enemies at once, so building glad shield and warriors blessing is a must (even after glad shield is nerfed next season) since they allow you to heal when you hit enemy gods with abilities. Items like these, soul eater (if you're feeling spicy) and mystical mail help you accomplish your goal of getting up close and smacking everyone around and forcing the enemy team to engage you instead of your squishier teammates.

[@idonno21]

Thanks man the trouble I was having was I could never rage when I wanted to either bc A(I was building it during a team fight then when I transform I was to low to help) B(it would be to early and I’d miss out on most of my damage) For me the the 2 either drains to much or not enough. I never thought about purposely missing abilities to help that. Anyway thanks again for your help and any more tips would be helpful as well 😚

I hate saying this sorta shit, cause I hate back seating stuff, but I do think you misplayed the early game by pushing wave rather than getting purple buff. Athena has pretty okay buff clear, it likely you guys coulda got it fast enough. I'd venture to say that Athena is never really a bad pick, just not as aggro as Nezha. Otherwise heim is just busted asf.

I will always remember the apollo game I played where we killed 4 of their team just barely keeping our titan alive, and then I realized their titan was almost dead from fire waves because I had split and taken out their left phoenix earlier on. Their last member was in base frantically killing minions and I ulted in, mez'd them, and won the game. The adrenaline from that moment cemented apollo as one of my favorite hunters from that point on.
