Wait. So basically, to be a better warrior listen to "I'll make a man out of you" from Mulan, and be water, but also be a rock.

[@zedeleric8928]

+Zed Eleric This was a joke this was an amazing video Raynday!

[@TheMrBigBen75]

Even if it was a joke i think it would be a good idea,and even more if you're playing Guan Yu x)

[@mandutumuch4480]

I can see that being a parody with all the Chinese gods. hi red make it happen!?

[@dzubmariner]

came here for the warrior guide..left with life lessons

[@smoek9458]

lol

[@oliverwirth42]

So true,

"You're in the fight, but not taking all the damage" Hercules: "Hold my beer"

[@bobwestermanshire8622]

Love that you made a video on my main role! Great tips bro, as always. I see a lot of people arguing against the poke potential a warrior gives versus the 100 to 0 the want. The poke, cc, and disruption a warrior offers could be what turns a fight for your mage or assassin or hunter to get the last big chunk of health. The best example is Wu Kong. His damage falls of hard but the tickle stick poke, with the slow and then either the knock up or tiger stun frustrates a back line to no end and the ability to escape and heal with a copy just harassing them gives peel for your guardian to cc the rest of the team. Even just being able to isolate a mage in the back and kill them is huge. Kills arent your goal as a warrior. Disrupting the enemy is.

When you learn more about how to live your life then playing a warrior. #Raynday The motivational speaker

[@simonrief1013]

You have to be rock if he is scissors, except you can be water than stick to that, because water can be anything

[@qem1erdapongo]

"Why am I dying so much? And I can't kill anyone!! T_T *cries in spanish*" - If this sounds like you after your warriors game, then you're at the right place. AHAHAHA FUCKING EPIC

[@boydcooper1879]

"You can't carry a game as a warrior," The things I've seen... The horror...

[@Sosoreview]

I really like the metaphors and images you use, as well as the humour in this video, it makes the whole thing flow better, and it's easier to understand aswell, props to you !

[@son_of_orr]

I just wanted to say thank you Raynday, your videos have helped me alot. When I first started a year ago I had no idea what I was doing all I was able to do was feed the enemy team but your videos have made a huge difference for me, I still have a large amount of improving to do but I can actually play and do decently well thanks to everything I've learned from watching you.

[@TheAvianpow]

Always love your philosophical talk man! as for the tips I completely agree and theoretically know these things. sometimes I just struggle to apply them in game. this is why I love these top 5's. I end up having a few phrases in my head that I can conjure up mid game to make sure I am doing the right thing, and if not adjust. the CDR is offense is definitely my favorite. when i made that realization I became so much more effective and enjoyed playing warriors so much more. I rarely get jotunns anymore and find it works perfect for the more supportive warriors I tend to play.

[@nononononononoonoooo]

THANK you Raynday ! I was wating for this video so much , I logged to youtube every 3 hours every day not to miss it :D . On the spot advices , great summary of examples and your positive character makes my day so much brither and productive . Wish you best and stay safe my friend .

[@bannerapollo3158]

This video really helped me alot. I main hunter, so switching to the Warrior role has been rough. However after watching your video and really listening; I played 2 Warrior matches and just shredded. Odin I went 12/2/22 and a Guan Yu I went 12/6/26 with a Quadra. I always had the problem of I wanna wreck and not timing my fights. Choosing the wrong targets or over extending. I just want to sincerely thank you on your videos. They are very helpful, for new people or even for those of ys who have been playing for awhile.

[@jaytaylor9126]

Fantastic content man! I'd been waiting for this and it was well worth it. I'm surprised I hadn't come to some of these on my own but I'm glad you brought these to my attention. Love how helpful this video was and had quite a few great laughs too. Thanks for the work you put in to your content man!

[@UnremarkableFleshbag]

Thanks for making this video, Evan. I wish that I had watched it sooner. I am still relatively new to the game and had definitely perceived the role of a Warrior incorrectly, so this was really helpful. Your channel is the best.

[@Nia-jk4hm]

Honestly this video really did help me realize that I was building my warriors a bit bad. Sometimes I could get away with stacking attack on attack on attack with some games, but I usually always did end up blowing up for it. I had a game earlier where I put on about 3 or 4 defense items as tyr and I ended up surviving so long that I out tanked the Ares on both teams. This video helped really put that in perspective for me. My best game WAS the defense stack one, not the all attack all the time games. Thanks raynday!

[@yoxinator]

Rayn! I wish I would have found your channel sooner. A breath a fresh air. Keep it up sir. I need to find an audiobook to buy!

[@Pavorish]

Rayn, we all know you're into that domination kink.

[@nlnrose]

Thanks Raynday!! I've been maining support but I want to be able to do warriors as well so this is perfect for me. This series is the one that made me stumble on to you

[@Yawnz2]

the way you describe the mindset of how to play a warrior is golden. I used to play warriors like an assassin but would get angry because I never did enough damage and died too fast but your jack of all trades reference was spot on. This is a great series man. After doing the God classes you should do conquest roles! Very good video man keep up the great work!

[@calebjarmon499]

Search for this video yesterday morning and was sad to see you hadn't made one. Looks like I was too early! Thanks for the tips!

[@FeralDrifter]

I was actually just searching your channel for a 'Top 5 Ways to be a Better Mage' as I was watching this video. I laughed when I reached the end and realized it wasn't up yet. XD I really look forward to listening to that one when it pops up mang, I'll be watching my feeds. :> Thanks for all your hard work and videos. (I play a mean Kuku at 16 but I need to get better for when I hit 30 :s)

[@EpikStorm101]

Was not expecting that motivational speech at the end, but damn i feel inspired!

[@Tablechairseat]

Great vid, very well explained! Be great in future vids to also see you dive into the different roles that exist in the classes of smite and a generalised discussion on good team comps.

[@death-by-ego]

If you are a Loki Main... then this might not be the class for you.

[@AwesomeGamingz305g]

+death-by-ego lol

[@mcmurray360]

that's hilarious, my first mastery 10 was loki, now I have tyr, odin, sun wukong, and chaac diamond lol

[@AwesomeGamingz305g]

lol

[@Havenjeus]

Way to encourage Loki Main's, always lowest player damage

[@subhojitdeb5621]

Why? *sadface*

[@Blarg6306]

Nice to know I've been on the right path when playing warriors. Chaac is probably my favorite God to play as (just feels right to me) and warriors in general seem to hit that sweet spot for me. Great job on this Top 5, looking forward to the next! Maybe hunters?

[@mxm_prime2191]

Damn I couldn't have explained this any better myself. I'm also proud of the Guan Yu gameplay in the background! I thought you weren't such a fan of him but nice plays man!

[@albertoperez3462]

Wooo! Great video Raynday!

[@Geddes1709]

Another great vid man, Warrior is surprisingly one of my stronger classes. I may only be a master 4 with one warrior but my experience with Tyr has been satisfying, usually running a mix of cooldown, a few defence items and physical power/penetration seems to help me out 90% of the time. Looking forwards to the mage video as I struggle with them the most haha

[@dukeyxxyz]

I have to say thank you for this video. I was going about playing warriors completely wrong. I was just kind of assuming their role was more of a melee version of a carry so it was a bit frustrating charging in and feeling like I wasn't helping my team because I kept missing out on kills and dying. Next time I play as one I'll definitely keep these tips in mind.

[@ExpansionSyndicate]

I always enjoy your guides Raynday. You're a great communicator. I'm glad to see the focus on the mindset needed, before min/max advice.

[@neongutzz]

amazing video! Huge fan man. I like ur inspiration to others makes me feel good. Thanks for this guide!

[@adamhayes-kimber595]

Hey Raynday, new to the channel and just wanted to say awesome content man. Please do keep stuff like this coming its a massive help. I need help being a better hunter haha.

[@zir3ael811]

This channel really helped me when I started smite a few weeks ago. Thanks for the great videos!

[@brianwlkr79]

This video was excellent! Really opened my eyes to everything i was doing wrong as a warrior. I picked up Guan Yu and my team has been blown away at the skill increase

[@samtheactualkenku6205]

this series is SUPER helpful to new players like me and my two friends. thank you for making it Raynday

[@afterdeuce8461]

Thank you Raynday! your videos help me out a lot!!!!!

[@tomasbayer8561]

I always enjoyed the gameplay of guardians and warriors, but warriors were not my strong point, I always fought to put together a build during the matches (need more pen? Maybe CDR is better... or one more defensive item?); with this my warrior games were inconstant. And this video has changed it, made me realize some points that had never crossed my mind, it has expanded my vision of what warriors are and helped me understand the mentality of the role. And yeah, you got me thinking in how to expand that knoledge to my life as well so... Thank you Raynday, this video series is simply amazing, in fact the entire channel is great!

[@hubertperreault143]

I think i'll be playing warriors a little more often! REally enjoyed your video Raynday!

[@damianarce9034]

Thank you SO much for this video BEEN WAITING FOREVER!! KEEP up the good work raynday! Your videos are amazing! PS you deserve 10000000 more subscribers than you get.

[@MrTexaspreacher]

Love your top 5 videos my man. Smite has become my game to play more than any other and your videos are fun to watch and presented in such a way that make them not only helpful but also thoughtful as well. You present yourself as someone who wants to see others grow and do better in Smite, and it is is awesome. So thanks for the vids man, keep em coming brother.

[@RayndayGaming]

+MrTexaspreacher really appreciate this my man. I sincerely am grateful for the sentiment and I'll keep on keeping on of course! I'm excited to have you invested in the smite community since it's a great game and thrives off of its great people, like YOU now!

[@tav9015]

great video rayn loved it felt like I learned a lot from this video

[@GGShinobi77]

I love how you put so much philosophy and wisdom into your videos!

[@georgequiroz7537]

Thanks raynday I play with everyone muted , I'm glad there's cool people like you that understand people are new help them don't hurt them

[@thecommonwizard2969]

You're videos are amazing, for the gaming content but even more for the life lessons and advice you share. I am very glad to have found your channel when I did.

[@slyunlimited6619]

this will help. keep up the work raynday!

[@narmer8431]

first video ive seen from u and i have to say, this was a well thought out inspiring video. Keep up the good work

[@eehldondulalus1258]

Dude, I could kiss your freaking brain. I love how when you talk about the roles in smite you're focusing on the mentality one should keep while playing. I love that! I feel, more often than not, that most players I play with in solo hold this type of mentality of wanting to be a hyper carry right out the gate. It just doesn't happen like that. You have understand the roles that each God can play in; as well as have an understanding of the kit of said god. Keep up the great work Rayne. "Learn, Play, Fun, makes this game number one."

[@mascutty4193]

great video man. my problem with warriors is most defiantly trying to build more damage overall. thanks for the tips!

[@scottchristoph1050]

good tip on building sustain and cdr! i love playing warriors, but recently started playing Odin like that and my success rate went through the roof. I'd still live to see a "how to Osiris" vid! I love his concept, but don't seem to have much luck playing him

[@standupman]

Best ending to a video, out of all of the KZbin videos I've watch. Gj

[@MrAngel527]

Hey man you are very helpful and honestly most of this stuff i do already and i am surprised that it only took me 2 days to figure it out. Then again I have experience with moba's but in any case your videos are very helpful and hopefully I can try other roles and be more proficient at them. Thanks a lot again.

[@HTram]

Great video Raynday. Warriors are my second most played class after guardians. I like tanky gods I guess. Though I also enjoy playing certian assassins as a brawler such as Bastet with warrior tabi, jotun's wraith, shifter's shield, runic or void shield, spirit robe, titan's bane. Less tanky than normal warriors but more damage, but same general goals. I pounce the over the front line, apply bleeds, slows, and lots of damage (especially with cats) to the squishies, then jump right back to safety. You have just enough tankiness to jump in, wreck havok on squishies, and then jump back.

[@jwdoyle85]

I have learned way more from your video than any other sources! thanks!

[@cyanpepper8458]

Nice vid! learned more about warriors. Thx!

[@anonymousmyth7540]

Amazing info , love the quotes & the gameplay . yet another great vid Raynday & Clan. I see you in there (*Prime*)lol A Perfect top 5 guide m keep em comin

[@darkmax2007]

You're such a good motivator. After this video i was so pumped up :D

[@briantolman1203]

This was amazing, thank you!

[@officialdinoshow]

Thanks for the advice man! Going for Diamond Guan Yu right now :)

[@FreeKingZeek]

That last comment in the video where you said never give up. That was insane and amazing advice.

[@petrica4705]

Nice video Evan. xD I would like you to make a How-To-Play Amaterasu, because I want to learn how to combo her abilities. And keep the great work going.

[@christopherlam4383]

I think you've covered all the roles that I do fine in, thanks for giving great tips on them. Love this series. Earnest request tho, can you do ADC next? That has to be my hands down worst role and I'm just not used to it after playing with a supp/jung/solo mentality. Keep it up, awesome work!

[@RayndayGaming]

Mages are next, but hunters will get some love as well, just wait!

[@fvk12]

thanks for the solid facts on the warrior position

[@SnivyPT]

It's the first video i see from Raynday Gaming but i think you are freaking awessome i play smite for a long time and i know that i can be much better and this advices will help me reach that. Thanks +Raynday Gaming

[@mrgreen1412]

Still the best guides ever in smite history. Had to come back and find my a game. Thank you Raynday for being my guide on smite.

[@generaleagleyt1983]

Totally agree, I come here every now and then when I feel my play starts to stagnate

[@ztsb45]

I think I really learned a lot from this video. Warriors have typically been one of my worst roles, though I can never seem to position myself right as an assassin, assassin being my worst role. I've always thought that the role of the warrior was that which essentially led the charge, fighting at the front against the rest of the heavy hitter tanky characters, fending them off of the squishies so that the true damage source has time to come out. I never really thought that focusing on a squishy was a warrior's place, but it makes a lot of sense.

[@RayndayGaming]

+The Incredible Pickle if you hate on Kung fu pandas and Jedi, then you really have a lot to learn my friend...

[@sleepymilk4599]

wow the psychological pressure is real in this one.. keep the good job mate!

[@blacksho636]

your advice is always so helpful^_^

[@ericpaz1422]

Im new to the game comin over from LoL, great vid! Ty!!

[@melonfox17]

As a Warrior main, I gotta say, this is pretty damn good. I don't think I have much to add to this, for a Top 5, anyways. Good job man.

[@Lonewolf123789]

I will take this advice to every Smite match I play from now on. So glad I came across this video. I don't comment much but I understood everything you said. Thank you.

[@RayndayGaming]

[@spessarterlandei]

Came here to learn to be a better warrior, learned way more than that. Thanks for the nice videos!

[@DemoChyme]

so watched your video, took your tips into consideration, and my past 6 games as a warrior were amazing

[@darckside1998]

This was very helpful!

[@KeyBlade2021]

Thanks for the tips, really helpful. I always play warriors too aggressive and get destroyed, so that's why i don't like playing them anymore. I have to stop being rigid and be water!

[@supadave2359]

The Ryu impression killed me!!

[@alterbridgebrad]

Hey Raynday, love your videos man. Just started playing Smite and I'm really enjoying it. Could you make a video about what to do if your team is playing really badly? Haha. It's really annoying playing with people who literally just try and take on the other team on their own and just die everytime. How do you play as a team with people who aren't team players? :-)

[@Chiptune-Ninase]

Raynday, you guys should show us how the items work and how to memorize them. There are so many and because we have set builds that we don't have to worry about buying with the auto-buy active we could really use the help! Thanks!

[@corkypopsicle1618]

Thank you so much for this video. I play SMITE, and I thought I was doing well when I was playing against AIs as Amaterasu. When I played against players, boy, my first game, because of me (yeaaahh), we lost and one of the players just went off their mouths on a PM, saying how much I sucked and stuff. Aside from that I got assigned in the Jungle (worst ever). Boy I was super wrong... Kept building up on items that give me power, didn't balance out on the defence so much (phys. and magic). And I stayed in the JUNGLE. I was a freaking idiot. Thanks a lot for this list. I'll follow your tips, it's pretty useful. :)

[@CocoV61]

Thanks man your videos has help me a lot!!!!!!!!😄😄😄😄

[@pumpkingamebox]

This is what I needed. And explanation of what I have to do and not just run around having no idea what my role in all of this is.
