Smite 2 Duel: CRIT YMIR IS BACK BABY

[@t.s.8430]

welcome back mr.ymir (wards are MASSIVE on that map, highly recommend but be careful not to put one in the bald patch of grass in mid) (15:00) smite wizard here: Gods deal the same TYPE damage as in Smite1, Ymir is magical, Medusa is physical Strength and Intelligence are different scales but not a damage TYPE Ymir and Medusa both have hybrid scaling so they can build both INT and STR but will not change their TYPE (phy or mag) Check your god when you play them to know what to scale with, there are a few crazy ones like protection scaling and cooldown scaling sprinkled in there too on some gods. All gods regardless of how their abilities scale will get 100% STR and 20% INT on all basic attacks. also Medusa is really strong rn and I think that damage Ymir needs some help from the devs tbh more than just more scaling, something about his survivability it really low for smite2 standards and I believe it is just because he was one of the first gods in s2 can also cancel your wall to put it down early, took me awhile to get used to not walking around

if you make an mlg montage with ymir that 1000 crit would have to be where the bass drops

[@Camsann]

It would be a great video , the montage of a goopy comeback

[@Tobygas]

Could see this one happening from a mile away. Smite 2 allows for so much more build variety and crit Ymir is one of the funniest things in the game for sure

[@InvalidationX145]

Decided I'd give Smite 2 a try. The couple of original closed alpha games I had did not feel great, but now? It has a lot of work still ahead of it, but the game itself actually feels good - arguably smoother than Smite 1. I'm looking forward to it.

[@Johndavidson4]

I think the item builder is like the worst thing about the game, which is honestly a good sign.

[@gigkhabraining105]

alright mr hat, while i am not a smite 2 player, i did play the first and im a very veteran league player, which smite 2’s system is much more similar too. As someone who understands both, ill try my best to explain all the fancy shmancy damage and stat classifications for ya. First off, the difference between strength/intelligence (STR/INT) and physical/magical (PHS/MAG) should be made clear. Str/Int are the stats that you gain through building items, and they are the scaling by which your ability’s damage will increase. Phs/Mag are the types of damage you will deal with your spells, basic attacks, and item actives. Str/int do not inherently tie to the damage type you deal. It is true that, previously, God’s abilities could deal a hybrid of physical and magical damage, though it was changed at some point. However, abilities and basic attacks can still scale differently, some have just strength, others just intelligence, and some have both. A Gods damage type is denoted by either the blue or red text on their god page, and if you see a god have one then theyve got it on all. All basic attacks in the game also scale off of a secret third thing, basic attack power. Regardless of what the scaling on your basic attack is, it will always deal the damage type it states. For example, Mordred’s attack chain first has greater strength scaling, while the second has greater intelligence scaling. Regardless of this, both of his attacks deal physical damage. For Ymir specifically, his damage type is magical, but he has some monster strength scaling on his passive, at 175%. A ymir with 0 strength does 34 basic(Mag) damage to the ymir bot in the practice arena, and 59 with frostbite applied. With 50 strength, he does 72, or 127 with frostbite.

I will probably never play Ymir, but I cannot wait for his gentleman skin to come to smite 2. It's just perfect when you use it.

So the Book of Thoth (smite guide) is gonna get a mega revision soon

[@talosisoursavior3061]

i wish they didnt nerf dagger of frenzy so hard in this update, only getting it for 5 autos in no way makes up for the reduced cooldown and kill reset

[@talosisoursavior3061]

also one start i've seen and used a bit is starting red, teleporting to purple, then grabbing blue and then clearing your minions under tower, with a jungle starter and a decent clear god its pretty easy and gets you a massive lead

[@Hatmaster]

​@@talosisoursavior3061 That sounds like a good star and honestly on assassins if would be bad but on Ymir it's pretty great with a high int / strength build seems like

[@talosisoursavior3061]

@@Hatmaster i agree that it's still good on ymir and i would still buy it, its just that before you got it for a full 6 seconds and with even more extra auto damage instead of just for 5 autos, which was just way better

[@talosisoursavior3061]

@@Hatmaster also the lost knight (bull demon) has a buff that gives not only hp5/mp5 but also 20% pen for 120 seconds, so it can be good to get even when you cant get phoenix or have already gotten it. also also it seems like there is a bug where killing bull demon when their phoenix is down will not disable it even if it respawns because it is debuffing the titan instead

[@RikaRoleplay]

Is that a CRIT YMIR??? Maybe I should get back into Smite 2 afterall xD

[@tobyholliday7016]

Sleep or hatmaster.....

[@hydra4370]

excuse me did you just blink during his ult????

[@slueck1112]

hydras on ymir works fantastic, usually secondish item. Power scaling is really weird and very god based but strength boosts auto damage on all gods, and int boosts ability damage on some. Trans/Toth/Hydras/Poly on ymir go brrrrr

[@CodenameLeo97]

Hi Hatmaster! I have a question, love the video always love your duel games, could you explain the difference in Intellgent Builds and Power Builds??

[@TrillKump]

gg!

[@daigustoemeral3710]

Anyone else find anubis lacking in damage or just me?

[@InvalidationX145]

As far as I'm aware, Anubis still scales pretty hard but his passive is different, so he doesn't get the 21 prot steal when fully stacking it against enemies anymore. You're also missing the passive of Bancroft's (increased power/lifesteal as your health goes down) and Typhon's (increased power based on how much % lifesteal you have) that pair _really_ well with Anubis. That being said, there are some really high intelligence items in Smite 2; I think he just needs to be itemized a little differently from how he normally would be in Smite 1.

[@daigustoemeral3710]

​@@InvalidationX145yeah It's just when you drop full combo the opponent just lives compared to smite 1 so it feels very weird to me

[@InvalidationX145]

@@daigustoemeral3710 Fair! I haven't messed around much yet in the beta, so I'll have to do some more playing around with him.

He does and doesn't it's weird sometimes I melt with him other times i barely scratch the enemy... not sure why
