SMITE Beginners Guide - 7 VITAL Tips for LEARNING THE GAME

[@leahpearl7114]

This has gotta be the best guide I’ve found. The way you explained everything wasn’t condescending or confusing. You explained even the “common sense” stuff (which is only common sense if you’ve played a game like this before) and did it perfectly. Thank you so much!!

[@edwardsimongray4877]

The fact that it's called the VGS system is the absolute best. In Tribes Ascend (made by the same devs) pressing v, then g, then s leads to your character swearing

[@hermithmza]

brooo tribes ascend was fucking legendaryy

[@auroraEMP]

NO WAY

[@boosted_nerd344]

As a newer player this guide is extremely helpful thanks ^^

[@4realonxboxyt461]

Bro this guy deserves a whole box of cake for how he explains the game best way to play and best gods. Not a fan of dropping likes on yt comments but this guy just deserves it. ❤❤❤

[@modelnaturephotography]

Thanks for the video, as someone who's gaming experience maxed out at fifa 96 and just wanted a game to recover from work without staring into space and being braindead I am like 'what the hell'.

[@modelnaturephotography]

@@divok232 Thanks I will do. 😀

[@EveMcWinston]

I played League of Legends for many years and now got a PS5 and tried Smite.... I failed so hard^^ Thanks to your video, I will give this game a second chance xD

[@Kascenda]

I used to play FOREVER ago it seems and I mastered Ra, just now finding out he's not beginner friendly and now the hard time I had makes sense.. I just love him sm LOL

[@Kascenda]

I don't quite remember what mastering a god means anymore but I know I have him as my highest ranked god and that it was all because I spent a CRAP ton of time playing him. I do think it was high tho.

[@ItsScottCat]

I'm a fairly new player and watched a few tutorial videos but honestly this has helped me the most by FAR! Thank you!

[@ItsScottCat]

@@divok232 I will do! Thank you, i've been playing smite i'd say a good 2 years but ever tried conquest, so wish me luck!

[@ItsScottCat]

@@divok232 that would be ideal honestly! I’ve tried a few soo far but I just feel like my rotations aren’t awesome and I maybe picking fights at the wrong time, but it’s all in the learning process, but I’ll keep checking your channel for a video like for sure, it would be a massive help!

[@lolmaomfgtfok]

New player here, thanks for the tips on which gods to select too. That was really helpful as I had assumed that most gods would have bene evened out, but seems not as such.

@@divok232 yeah great idea

[@goblue012993]

Great summary, thank you very much mr greginacastle

[@divok232]

I really need to get around to rerecording this for Smite 2. But not all that much has changed from a complete beginner's perspective!

[@Hipaolo]

Really nice high quality video, can see this channel grow in numbers

[@nekomig9570]

Great video! Only one thing i totally disagree with - Susano. He is not beginner-friendly, u have to master his combos, understand animation cancelling and how to manage movement potential. IMHO - Ravana is by far the easiest one. He has a straightforward abilities with simple hitboxes, ultimate escape button, and ult allowing simple tactics.

[@ralphcabiling1314]

Tbf tho, what jungler is that easy to pick up for newbie.

[@josephl.4142]

Instead of susano I would say ravana, ratatoskr, and fenrir are the easiest to learn jungle. Ravana is very safe and does a lot of damage and helps you avoid damage with his 2. Rat if you build the orange acorn allows you to hit your 3 super easy and gets you familar with global ults. And fenrir introduces you to how passives work, as well as bad players at low levels just run away from fights and aegis at wrong times so you can easily get a full fenrir 3 off before they aegis.

[@SilentGlaceon94]

I played Smite and LoL over a decade ago and I loved both games. I've been thinking about getting back into Smite, but I am incredibly rusty. 😅 This video is so helpful in reviewing the basics, as well as figuring out where I went wrong back then. Great job!

[@divok232]

Thanks! I only play on occassion at the moment myself, but I am coming back hard with Smite 2 which is in development ^^

[@BarbGoesLooney]

If been playing smite in December and I'll be honest I got it because back then the Transformers battle pass was around(and I got everything despite rn only being rank 23) but seeing this video helps me understand a bit more on what I should do more and focus on, thank you so much man!

[@LotharinCW]

Well, most of this was common sense for anyone semi-familiar with MOBAs, but I did indeed learn some things unique to the game itself, thanks!

[@johng9200]

Awesome guide! You deserve way more views, likes, and subs

[@matthewbaier766]

Thank you. Im brand new and this moba is a lot more complex than other mobas I’ve played

[@lamewing_]

You did NOT just say susano was a good beginner god when that man is probably the hardest assassin other than set 😂

Very well done, thank you for the guide! Just subscribed.

[@victorbryan8269]

Thank you for this. I'm a new player and this has given me entirely new info.

[@sneztchy]

I'm familiar with MOBA, I've been playing since DotA days in Warcraft and was very interested with the concept of 3rd person MOBA. This is probably one of the best guides I've found

Thanks!!

i havent played this game since grade 6 im 18 now and downloading it on pc for the first time i used to play on ps4 and its gonna be nostalgic asf

[@sparrow_rose]

Im lvl 28 and i havent played for ages and its like playing for the first time. Its a bit embarrassing but I hope the smite community will be nice to me xD This video was very helpful, thanks ♥️

[@gooblord9006]

i'm sorry but at 5:35 did you call Cernunnos "kernos?" Or were you trying to say Chronos?

[@a-blivvy-yus]

First chapter title mentions 2023, while the voiceover mentions 2022, and I'm watching in 2025 xD Good times. Also cool video, thanks! Seems like a lot of things haven't changed over time, which is... unsurprising.

[@divok232]

I could honestly rename the video 2025 if I really wanted, things rarely change in Smite 1, especially now Smite 2 is due to launch real soon. That being said I'm going to be playing 2 a bunch on launch and hope to replace this with an updated version for that as a LOT changed there

[@thomas-stilinski8149]

I've liked smite for years but I haven't played much because it's a lot to get into i need videos like this lol

[@emerald7761]

I picked up this game when i was 8 on xbox because i was into gods at the time and seemed cool af. Never understood it but i definitely had fun with the gamemodes and didnt really experience toxicity unlike other games (league *cough cough*). I forgot about it overtime sinced I switched to Desktop PC but i saw it on steam and want to finally understand it :) this game literally was a big part of my childhood hopefully it aint doodoo

[@rawefktz6466]

Thank you, just starting this game cause of my co worker but looks dope👌

[@zalaztv]

Hi, great guide, but I think its more of an introduction towards MOBAs rather than specifically smite, but still good for beginners

[@lacqs9129]

How do you unlock other gods? Are the other gods paid only?

[@boomshanka4667]

just installed it, thanks for the vids mate

[@filipsokolovic6084]

Bro this is literary 3D leauge of Legends ill definetly give it a shot !

[@Antagonopolis]

I think the most important tip would be - Get ready to suck...A LOT Smite is the game that has been around for quite a while now, so new players will automatically be placed in position of catching up. And it's often not easy, especially considering the fact, that most MOBA communities are toxic as hell.

[@binarioochentaycinco4791]

Never played the game. I like assassin's on every game. Is Susano really a good choice for someone who play the game for the first time? On the god description it difficulty is hard, and there are other gods that says the difficulty is easy. Or is the in game description inaccurate?

[@JagoShogun]

So I take it some gods are easy to play, hard to master?

[@JagoShogun]

@@divok232 LOL why do you get that comment so much?

[@domicci4460]

Great video it still holds up well today the only thing I disagree with is cupid is not good for new players hes just kinda weak ontop people tunel on his healing and die for it if they are alone I mostly play support and have seen it way to much

[@divok232]

Metas come and go sadly, at least cupid remains simple for the player themselves. I will definitely remake this for smite 2 though with some updated info! Thanks for the support

[@domicci4460]

@greginacastle I think its also the heal I see so many cupids run out to get their heal to just die to an ability

What Characters are good for new players like me who just download the game about 30 minutes ago

[@The.Great.Cheese]

@@divok232 I know I watched the whole video but it doesn't tell which characters for someone who is new to moba games I kept dieing because the character they made me play was do hard in my opinion I try to tell my team that I am new and that I just download the game but they did not answer I just wanted someone that is easy to play and easy to learn Until I'm ready to branch out and try other champions I like mages but I think they would be to hard for me to learn as a beginner maybe a tank or a support would be that best for a new player like me this is my first mboa game ever

Your god suggestions are way off. For a noob the first thing to do is have fun and not get messed with passive and team mechanics. IMO Guardians: Ganesh and cerb Mage: Posideon and Kuku Assassin:Aracahne or bastet Hunter: Izanami or Anhur Warrior: Gilgamesh or Hercules All these gods are easy to play for beginners and have self learning aspect built in them.

tip#2 got down no problem, when game 1st dropped had a friend tell me about it and i got hooked pretty quick and starter shoes each class were nice btw so i got the gods pack and its totally worth the $30 to never have to sit on char screen with chars can't use. So i can always play a random god...btw has anyone been having issues on pc since last update week or 2 ago? My screen just minimizes randomly in game and didnt have any issues of any kind until recently on pc...switch was a buggy mess and disconnected lot but this just minimizing in game 3 or 4 times match on pc really been weird.
