How To Handle A God With 11 Abilities! SMITE Tiamat Guide: Abilities & Leveling Order

[@bellatron7660]

i just realized that the glow on her head is supposed to signify the hardened scales effect, i realized this after i noticed she has glowing shields on her hips if you look at the ground stance.

[@Zaryn_Rinion]

I've been playing Tiamat almost exclusively the past two days (playing Joust with a full team). She's so much fun and I think I have a pretty good grasp on her but you always seem to teach me something I don't know! You are my go-to for Smite info and have been for a couple years now. Just wanted to drop some love and appreciation ^.^ Keep up the good work homie.

As a Merlin main another mage with a lot of abilities is a dream come true. Also here’s my own personal build: conduit gem (right branch) deso, blue boots, soul gem, tahuti, ob shard, then sell boots for pendant.

[@jradjj2988]

Same here cooldown is a necessity for her. Also gem of focus is insane on her I felt unkillable with it stacked and in my ground stance

For people who can't aim, like me, Gem of Iso is a big help since it'll keep targets slowed for your clear, and the tornado can chase people better so long as they don't have slow immune.

[@kdnmore]

been maining her since day one. Its nice to FINALLY have a god release that isn't completely broken lol. Her passive always be baiting me though. I'll go from fully stacked mitigations to getting one tapped in the span of three seconds.

[@daanhunnik7691]

I'm a clash player. Have been trying out bruisery builds. I like vampiric shroud as a starter as it gets me good sustain and some survivability and well I mean I play clash.. team fights are a constant. Didn't realise upgrading the three reduced it's cooldown so now i'll be able to play her more effectively. Also i feel like druid stone is slept on it has pretty good stats if you need magic prots and don't wanna lose to much damage. And i'll have to check celestial plate helm to see if it's more viable in this season.

@@BunnyOnASnuman it feels a lot better and a lot safer. Because you can use your leap and backwards dash more often you get more movement and more escape potential.

Hey DukeSloth, I know this a great video can't wait to watch it all. Currently watching the ads so you get the revenue. I just wanted to ask what you think about Hirez taking away our viewer points which we grinded months for?

[@DukeSloth]

I mean, they gave us a decent heads-up for that. I'm not too phased, I just spent mine before they reset. I understand why they would reset them once a year, since some people probably have a ton of points backed up already. That said, it's definitely frustrating if you were close to a skin but didn't quite reach it before it the reset.

[@chiptasty6231]

Since grounding dive is considered a leap, does that mean it can be awilix pulled ?

[@DukeSloth]

Yeah. Haven't verified it yet but there's no reason for it not to. However, apparently she still swaps stance if you pull her

I got 1 game as her out of the 5 or so times I played mid. Damn auto locks

[@kriticalitygaming1048]

Sorry. I've done pretty good with her in every role except carry (although I only jungled once and I don't think she's great at it). I don't want to be that toxic to the point where I lock in with a Tiamat carry. I mean, it probably could work, but nah.

[@trollman_2345]

Grab chronos+deso and laugh at the plebians with cds in their ults.

[@nachomontesano4536]

Idk what to think about her as a mid main. Like a lot of times she kills you like nothing and she is actually immortal. And if you gank her she can escape, if she wants to, because she can stun you change stance, gain mitigation and destroy you with the rest of her abilities. The middle lane against her it's really annoying if you can't bait that stun or dodge her 1. But sometimes she falls like nothing *ground or flying stance* she loses some potential, but at the same time she doesn't, idk.

[@BunnyOnASnuman]

[@kriticalitygaming1048]

@@jodyboles8208 For me, I get Sentinels Gift and tier 2 boots as my starting items. Then, I get shoes of focus, gauntlet of thebes (or sovereignty if they have a mostly physical comp), breastplate of valor for the cooldown, shogun's or genji's, stone of binding (for the knock ups and stuns), and I replace shoes of focus with staff of myyrdin (or however you spell it).

[@AndrewH1994]

Tiamat's minotaur does NOT have 2250 HP, it's 750. it's 100 per rank, which means 100 HP per rank of the ultimate. the thing is squishy as all hell and basically useless. summon the 1 or the 3 unless you need to slow an enemy. either knock them up, or summon those lizards and consume them for mitigations in ground stance. a mage with a build cant 1 shot the thing with pretty much any ability. ADCs would take no more than 2 autos, 1 if they have crit. that is a big difference.

[@jodyboles8208]

Jeez I hope they buff its health then. That's terrible

[@KatsuhiroHebi]

Most important tip was first thing in the video but i need mpre details. That spam click technique... is there a preferred bpm i should follow? Maybe 120 bpm or closer to 200? I dont want to have to get a macro to speed my clicking speeds up, but maybe an aimbot isnt TOO desperate?

[@isaacvitela5131]

if you have to depend on an aimbot to land her one. then you shouldn't even play her period

@@Tero133 i think it has to do more with the stance switch, especially when it comes to the passive interaction. Unlike artio, ullr, tyr, and hel that have fast switch stances with little or no cooldown. Tiamat's switch is also a leap and abusing it punishes you heavily for it, especially when it starts at 20 seconds on cooldown. This where you have to be picky on your stance otherwise you put yourself in a bad spot along with wasting an escape if it goes awry. also the flying one...... if you miss all the shots.... well that's on you then XD
