The Top 5 Best Gods In SMITE For Beginners (1080p HD)

[@graypeople5026]

Who remembers Loki's ugly ass before the reskin?

[@jakubstrnad94]

me

[@WolfesBane615]

You mean the creepy old man with the snake fetish? Yeah, we don't talk about him much anymore

[@adeledson6446]

mehhhhh

[@mcsyrtonin]

Can't remember him never had time to actually see him. He killed me before I could blink (literally)

[@Gongall]

+Gray People Loki barely changed lol

[@zanerobbins7604]

HOW WAS NEITH NOT ON THIS LIST 1. she's free 2. all her moves do some sort of damage while always doing somthing else 3. her passive allows her to do more damage or heal a bit in a pinch 4. she can easily get out sticky situations with her backflip ability AND her ability to snipe from anywere while rooting enimies is pretty op

[@brunorodriguez4626]

And she is the most easy character to play in the whole game. She really should be on this list.

[@HiopX]

I just got my first 200 gems and I'm searching for orientation, which gods should I unlock first. Playing one of the starter gods is too obvious.

[@hucksenteh8295]

HiopX i recommend not to use those 200gem to unlock gods, keep them for events :D

[@sohda8569]

jonathan Robbins za

[@dogchow99]

jonathan Robbins neith is for scrubs

[@avixxbus]

Im still pretty new to Smite, but when I started, I bought Serqet after seeing her in one of my first matches, and instantly I went from 10-8 to 25-2 scores and it was the best feeling ever.

[@zra1080]

Anybody else distracted by Agnis walking animation?

[@schneidster90]

glad i wasnt the only one to notice

[@abdullaalali4699]

+Will Schneids ya 😅

[@hornlessgoat4945]

Yup

[@jaimoo5028]

Venus - that's all I was looking at 😂

[@Malakikin]

Me

[@HisamiKieta]

I thought you are trolling with agni... But no... Rly Randy, Neith is the easiest goddess ever

[@skinntylegend9130]

+Master Xehanort 😂😂😂

[@andrewfreeman5382]

i agree completely

[@jazmynecolwell6916]

+Master Xehanort like

[@smoek9458]

Filip Kurtek I agree neith should be on the list

[@hucksenteh8295]

Filip Kurtek i suck at neith lol, i keep missing the root/ bomb

[@joshuajezeski6369]

Got a few list ideas for ya. * Your Favorite Smite Skins * Hardest Smite Gods to Play

[@RayndayGaming]

+Joshua Jezeski Thank you for the ideas buddy!

[@PatPuppy]

+Raynday Gaming Great list, I agree with most of it besides Poseidon. He's not a beginner god in my opinion and isn't easy to play and he's easy to counter and more of a late game god. I tried Poseidon and I can say I wouldn't recommend him for beginners. But whatever I am not "pro" so my opinion doesn't matter I guess.

[@matheuscruz8574]

+Joshua Jezeski Hardest one is probably Hel or Ullr. Switching stances all the time in the middle of a fight can be tricky.

[@joshuajezeski6369]

Matheus Cruz I've played both Hel and Ullr. Hel is easy mode compared to Ullr.

[@matheuscruz8574]

+Joshua Jezeski Yeah maybe. lol Ullr is stylish as fuck though, I'd like to master him someday. Who would you say is the hardest in the game?

[@benjaminlimoges9801]

I wouldnt recommend agni for beginners but I do recommend him for the more skilled players

[@RayndayGaming]

+EpicGamerBen I think that although he has a high skill cap, he is definitely valuable as a beginner God and his mechanics are relatively easy to learn. However he is also very safe, can contribute positively to a teamfight from range, and is a very relevant God to know how to play. Thanks for your opinion though, I definitely see where you are coming from.

[@benjaminlimoges9801]

+Raynday Gaming ya, your points definitally make sense but, what made him hard for me when I was a beginner was getting all of his combo's down. and I sucked with him, due to the fact that I wasn't playing him correctly. but now, after being good at smite and practicing, I now know how to play him well, and he is one of my main mid gods!

[@RayndayGaming]

+EpicGamerBen That's awesome dude! Congrats on that and let's play some time!!

[@benjaminlimoges9801]

YA, Ill add you

[@Master1Morrison]

Also another point is I don't think he uses mana for his ult either

[@TheDarkStigmataVA]

So... Raynday have you considered making a list of the top 5 warriors, mages, assassins, etc?

[@RayndayGaming]

Yes, interested in that? I could put that together for sure!

[@SuperNathanryan]

+Raynday Gaming Yes!

[@Dougger00]

+Raynday Gaming yes!

[@azam1687]

+Raynday Gaming yea do that

[@Yatsu2]

Hell yea

[@anicastor]

Agni's a god for a pro to play.. His kit isn't easy

[@MonsieurCorbusier]

I believed him and bought Agni, had to find out myself he isn't easy to Play :/

[@matheuscruz8574]

+Kira Easiest mage in my opinion is Ra. Just remember to stack health and aim his ult properly.

[@KamakazeTaco]

+Matheus Cruz if we're talking easiest mage it's probably Ah Puch. Throw the zombie, explode the zombie. Basically no aiming required, especially with his lane wide ultimate.

[@joelalmeida8435]

+Irisoi Zilico Agree, is not easy at all. Probably Neith should be on top 5 easier gods to play but still...

[@joelalmeida8435]

***** dont get me wrong please, i didnt mean critic the author opinion, i just agree with others opinions about the easiest gods to play, thats all :)

[@ltsjoke5443]

Love this list, I definitely agree w/ everything, but if there could an honorable mention, or sixth man, I'd highly recommend Kumbhakarna as a 1st guardian over Ymir. His kit is REALLY easy to use, and really useful to teamfights, you can learn the game so fast through all of the previously listed gods and including kumbha. Keep up with these vids man, I love em all.

[@anicastor]

+Brandon Hall Just no Kumba's 1st ability is a poke you have to line up Kumba's 2nd ability you have to aim properly/set up because it can easily be dodged Kumba's 3rd ability is alright for a new player Kumba's 4th ability is great for ganking w/ rotations. I'd say Kumba is an advanced tank/support to play.

[@ltsjoke5443]

Irisoi Zilico Erm, you don't have to use his 2 for a set up, nor to aim at others. Just use it as a minion clear, because too many kumbha(s) use there 1 as a clear. And in no way is kumbha advanced, as his abilities heavily rely on position, which is super easy considering his 1 is a MASSIVE dash, and his ult gives you different ways to use it, not necessarily just ganking. I use to main him, you can use him casually and fairly advanced.

[@RayndayGaming]

Wow, big thanks man! I appreciate that. I personally love kumbha as he is really fun and has a lot of great CC. I also like how you defended your response, and I think you make good points about the utility of his ult and his dash. I think he could definitely be an honorable guardian mention. That being said, I think kumbha can be a very hard God for many people to understand how to use properly. I had a tough time learning him and it wasn't until I discovered a certain play style with him, by having it used against me (to my chagrin), that I finally picked up his correct pacing. He's very initiatory, and that can be tough for newer players when considering the various timing and spacing elements for gods that a knowledge of many gods abilities helps to make easier. So I can see both sides!

[@RayndayGaming]

+Irisoi Zilico Hi buddy :) I don't think it's so easy as a flat no (see my response to Brandon) but I do agree with many of your points. Thanks for commenting bud!

[@ltsjoke5443]

Raynday Gaming Hey, thanks to you to man, keep up w/ your awesome work man. :)

[@fupaking9719]

isnt neith like easier and better for begginers than agni? since she has that root and escape

[@RayndayGaming]

+Ray Jim I think Neith is a very good beginner God, but I think the hunter role, in many aspects, requires more gameplay for beginners to become proficient. I think her root is a great ability, but not the easiest to aim and land on actual opponents who know what to look for. She is definitely in the top 10, but I think Agni's safety, dash, large area damage and stun put him above her. That's my opinion!

[@anicastor]

+Raynday Gaming Agni is for professionals. His 1 does no damage & a new player won't know how to set up Agni's abilities. His ability set up is by far the most advanced from all the mages. Sure, he's pretty safe to play if you know how to play Agni. If you don't then you'll just be dragging your team down randomly dashing constantly. Your 1 does no damage unless you put it down & then dash through it stunning the enemy & dealing tick damage once you got Spear of the Magus.

[@patrickray5692]

Ray I call bs on that, I can aim just fine, if you can aim with a slingshot and hit a can than its safe to say you can too while using Neith.

[@patrickrepko7065]

I got a Penta with neith on my first download of smite, so yeah she isn't hard lol

[@thatguydownthestreat]

but What about Ra? In my oppinion he is hands down the best god for beginers

[@gentleearthquake3350]

+thatguydownthestreat agree

[@Andres5045]

+thatguydownthestreat i am begginer and im agree.... medusa and vulcan are some of my favourites too

[@thatguydownthestreat]

Medusa a little less so, but I can see how she would still be viable in lower skill levels

[@Andres5045]

under level 30 we usually play joust because 5vs5 is full of smurfs and flamers, there ulti of medusa means 3 assitances or kills.. gg.

[@SyncGrave]

thatguydownthestreat Ra is good against beginners not for beginners

[@duder24567]

i don't know about #1 I've been playing smite for almost a year now and i still have a hard time doing well with agni, but here is my list #5: Tyr (his 1 2 combo does shit tons of dmg at max levels plus his 3 power gives his different stances buffs. Dmg for attack stance, protection for defense stance) #4 Cupid ( first god i ever bought and his abilities are pretty easy to use and hit) #3 Odin (use your 2 then your 1 kills for days) #2 Ymir (the easiest guardian to use. he can do tons of dmg and has an easy way to escape) #1 Neith (by far the easiest god to use because all her abilities do dmg, she has a heal, an easy escape and a unlimited range ult) HM Poseidon (for basically all the reasons he said)

[@yokaitamer9436]

I disagree with tyr. I find him one of the much harder gods play. Yeah his 1-2 combo is easy, but it's about the postioning. you can't just drag the enemy where you want, it needs to be against a wall or toward your team so then get be finished off

[@duder24567]

NoobDoctor21 I would agree with you but except for the fact that ive never seen a mastery lvl 3 and below agni do better than 6 kills. that's just me though

[@RobertoWhyyoucare]

+NoobDoctor21 Lol no, Agni doesn't have a better escape than Scylla. Her 3 can be used as a temporary ward, and more importantly, she can use it over walls. They're both about the same range.

[@duder24567]

NoobDoctor21 yeah no scyllas dash is much better mostly because she can use it through walls. agni cant do that. agni's may be faster and it may to dmg but he can still be killed mid dash. scylla cant be killed mid dash because she's underground

[@rudyhero1995]

what about geb, though his early play is weaker than Ymir, and I can't count how often I missed his 3 when everybody was standing on the same square feet, I still think he's easier than Ymir

[@scrappycoco2321]

I started playing this game after around September 27th, I listened to this video and played Agni first. at first I went 0-10 or 0-20 but I can't blame Agni, I just didn't know the game. to skip details of watching this man's videos, I have a master 10 Gemini/swagni Agni with 1600+ kills. this video helps and the game is worth it because it's the only game I've played since

[@viduravishmitha1964]

agni is not for beginners

[@RayndayGaming]

+Vidura Vishmitha To master, no. You are correct. But his kit is very beginner friendly in terms of survivability, and helping support the team with damage from a safe distance. These are great traits for Gods to have when used by beginners to avoid being in the thick of a fight as much as possible, and to still contribute to their team and escape if things do get rough. Also, he is a very consistent and balanced God, and has been since his release 2 years ago.

[@viduravishmitha1964]

Yeah I mean landing 4 1 combo is pretty hard for beginners.damaging from a distance is something.I would prefer neith chaac for beginners.but no offence though 😊 good video

[@anicastor]

+Raynday Gaming People say he's balanced although I think his ult should cost mana. That's all really tbh. Then I would've agreed that he's pretty balanced. (He is balanced compared to Scylla, Isis, & Janus)

[@mikiii880]

Agni was my first god and i learned the good combos in two-three games. It took me more games to master it but it's still a great character to begin with. After rocking with Agni, I switched to Thanatos as mid lane was disputed in almost every conquest game

[@cracksparrow1379]

Real shit

[@skulblaka965]

I'm surprised that Ah Puch didn't make the list. I can understand why, since he's fragile and not very mobile, but from a noob's point of view, being able to stand behind your teamfight and nuke everyone in a mile radius is very nice and reasonably safe. Also his ult is a massive area-denial that can easily cover your retreat in lieu of an escape skill. Good video, though! I have yet to play Cupid, I might have to look into it now.

[@RayndayGaming]

Hey man! Ah Puch, due to his lack of mobility and tricky skill shot timing (something that, if you don't know how to do, will really take the punch out of the character because that's his burst) make him a tough beginner God. Even as an Ah Puch player myself, he is very difficult with a team who focuses him down, and while his ultimate is a decent area denial, if he is out of position, all an enemy needs to do is wait and capitalize on his lack of options thereafter. Positioning is huge with Ah Puch, as well as timing and skill shots, so that's why he didn't make my list. That's at least me opinion from my experience with him, but I do see the good points you bring up about him as well. I think the right beginner could enjoy him and do well - but I think these gods lend themselves to better performances right off the bat. Thanks for the comment!!

[@skulblaka965]

You make good points. Ah Puch was one of my favorite gods when I was new (and remains so), so maybe I'm biased c;

[@Colbear11237]

Neith is easily one of the best gods for beginners 1) really easy to learn 2) really good damage 3) reliable escape that can go over walls 4) global ult

[@TaukisDoe]

Chris Colbert Neith can't go over walls

[@Colbear11237]

paint/Taukis you're right I was thinking of player-made walls when I wrote that (things like Ymir's 1 and Odin's ult)

[@TaukisDoe]

She also can't go through those though...Chris Colbert

[@Colbear11237]

Yes she can

[@justadude5543]

is this game worth a try?

[@RayndayGaming]

absolutely!

[@IliterateAshole]

STYX NAVYclam heck yes

[@4f52]

STYX NAVYclam no

[@gamerguy5922]

Styx, only if you can bring at least 2 friends along with you other then that. Get ready for major head aches, because of your team mates just flat out trolling or just no cares giving. You absolutely need a pre made in this. More so at least from lvls 25 to 29 is the area I started having major consistant problems with the team mates MM been giving me. Mostly the suicide into enemies 12 times and simi afk and emote laugh for the 2nd half of our matches, or the ones that as soon a they die once in the match after 1 mins of play they rage quit and never come back. If you think you can handle all of this then by all means try this game it's F2P anyways.

[@4f52]

If you can't handle toxic players go play singleplayer games, you fucking casual.

[@WarrickBowmansoulbone15]

Thanks for this guide. I definitely going to try Cupid. Poseidon is pretty fun to play too.

[@errenblack3445]

I agree with you. This gods are really good and easy to use but i think that the hardest of this 5 is agni because of his strange type of stun.

[@RayndayGaming]

+TheBrutalScoutChannel I agree with you in many regards thanks for the comment my man!

[@DirectAim]

Im very new to smite and appreciate these relevant videos for beginners. All the other are 2+ years old

[@CommanderBLY77]

I just played my first match in the game, I choose poseidon cuz I got him from a reward and went 16-0

[@RayndayGaming]

Amazing my man! Great stuff!

[@Retibra]

Try He Bo

[@Whydoineedahandlepissoff]

I played Anubis don't ask...

[@TheNviate]

i totally agree with your list, but i think there has to be a tank in there as well. Not only because tanks are important to win the game, but some of them are also easy to play. For example Chaac is great for beginners. He has really good clear, sustain because of passive/3 and his ulti is really hard to miss^^. Of course Chaacs teamfight in lategame isn't that great, but on the lower levels, a big silence could change everything

[@RayndayGaming]

+Jan Ho I hear you man, I like your thoughts on that. I chose intentionally not to include tanks because I feel their role is a bit difficult for beginners, and my goal with this list was to provide beginners with gods that will provide them with the most early success as well as the team they are on. However, good points and I could definitely see a guardian or warrior on this list. Appreciate the comment my man!

[@MJNapsTTV]

You said number 2 isn't number 1 because he has to get near the enemy to be good but then U put number 1 as agni?? Smh

[@mattsawyer3838]

You're my favorite Smite player on KZbin. I wish I'd have started Smite earlier :( I started like a month and a half ago.

[@gerami8902]

Against Poseidon, Amaterasu is an amazing block if using sanctuary relic. Can pop sanctuary when he uses his ult, and when you use basic attacks with frostbound hammer, it's hard for Poseidon to get away. That with how squishy it is, and ability to run around him so it is harder for him to hit his basics, Amaterasu can shred him quickly

[@drawkiin]

No ANoobis

[@RayndayGaming]

+draw kiin Haha, not on this list. But he is a very popular beginner God. I find that he takes a large amount of skill to actually be played effectively, and his kit, while powerful - is rather dangerous to use and is pretty much an ALL IN type of God.

[@ooperblownup]

+Raynday Gaming yes you are absolutely correct. Anubis is a popular beginner god but it takes some quick thinking and reflexes to get the most out of him. Also he is ridiculously easy to kill if he isnt careful and his abilities are predictable and easily avoidable. Only thing I like about him is cc --> ult and his insane damage against Titan or fire giant with his ult.

[@ooperblownup]

+Victornero Sain In high level he is too predictable and squishy so he gets no use unless your only plan is to appear out of nowhere and burst solo the Titan at the end lol

[@StarboyXL9]

+Victornero Sain indeed. I remember 1 3v3 match where my team stalled the enemy team at our phoenix while I snuck around and assassinated their titan with Anubis. I ate that titan alive with Death Gaze

[@lovegirl7941]

+Raynday Gaming would Chang'e be a good goddess to play if your new to the game

[@BaC0nz]

I agree with most of these picks. However I would have changed Chiron for Hercules or Chaac. Both can build very tanky and their kits are relatively easy to understand.

[@RayndayGaming]

+BaC0nz Intersting! I stayed away from warriors and guardians because I find their positioning to be highly important to the success of the team, and with a poor or new guardian, I have experienced almost no way to claim a victory. However, you are right that hercules is a relatively forgiving God as well as Chaac, so these are good points. I just felt that these Gods were a little safer and could be played by beginners in a way that would create the most opportunity for team success.

[@larryfaat-jepapa6859]

Bellona and neith are pretty easy to play and very very strong

[@vince5446]

bellona is great against players who don't know what to do. I used to play solo and get beat by bellona every single rime but once i knew how to counterbuild, i could even beat her with guan

[@vince5446]

***** dont forget its your ultimate, only use it when needed

[@ooperblownup]

+Random723 Thor too

[@RNDxOmo]

Hey dad

[@jeetking1157]

sun wukong is my favourite you can use the 72 transformation ability for any situation and his ultimate is good for finishing someone off and also retreating

[@RayndayGaming]

+OMGitsJo He is great, but the difficulty in using his #3 for beginners is relatively high, and also he needs to be up close to do damage and I thin that puts him (in the hands of a beginner) in a risky situation when they are still learning to play/survive in game. Warriors and Guardians really set the tempo, and I find newer players have a high learning curve when using Guardians and Warriors and it can really create a bad situation for the team if they struggle under the pressure of constant attacks from the enemy due to bad positioning, poor initiation or counter initiation, and lack of understanding of how to peel for teammates.

[@jeetking1157]

+Raynday Gaming nah bro i go 15 to 1 on average

[@agildzuhuriramadhan1016]

wheres Neith?

[@ThePuretide]

This is a pretty great list, I like the focus on teamfighting and how you contribute rather than other factors. Too many new players come in caring solely about kills and deaths and misunderstand some priorities in smite.

[@RayndayGaming]

Thanks for acknowledging that. It lets me know you really watched the video. A lot of people misunderstand some of the criteria of my points, and create arguments where I am not making them :) appreciate the comment man and thank you for watching and sharing your opinion with me. It means a lot!

[@ernestasjocas6735]

I would say n1 should be Neith. ;D

[@josephpalidar2735]

+Ernestas Jocas me too

[@generalketchup4202]

+Joseph Palidar definitely

[@soulstarx8]

definitely she's in the beginners tutorial

[@3rdEyeEvolutionaries]

Ah, love Agni. Not my best god, but he was the first god I purchased. A top 5 ways to become a better warrior would be sweet! Love your video's

[@SyncGrave]

I remember when I was a beginner at Smite and grinded with Poseidon getting the full team in my ult combo go behind all of them whirlpool then quickly kraken and wave, works every time 😂

[@silverknive264]

Im happy you didn't put Loki in there XD

[@dynatjen196]

If he do,the world would be doomed

[@rpdigital17]

The patches are changing the gods very much, so when I began at the January 2016, the Poseidon was almost too good. The latest patches have made it weak, so Whirlpool + Kraken will not kill almost anytime, while that combo was a killer when I started.

[@irritatednarwhale6919]

So crazy whenever you say the release dates of some of these gods and I remember them coming out lol.

[@theirishmadman313]

Neith? Ra? Hades? no? k...

[@Seanazi]

I started yesterday, and I have been doing pretty well as Basket, and Apollo

[@Corallus_Caninus]

Agreed my first god I was good with was agni, I'm now playing as Hel and loving her.

[@RayndayGaming]

+Paula Deen That's awesome, thank you! I'm sorry I took so long to respond but thanks for commenting and glad you are enjoying Hel. I still don't play her often but I should!

[@Corallus_Caninus]

+Raynday Gaming yeah I've mastered her three times now. Such an awesome god. :)

[@RayndayGaming]

+Paula Deen yeah a really good neith is hard to deal with! At this point I'm sure that's you! Hope you keep rocking her!

[@KaelinGamez]

What about Zeus just press 1 then 2 wait a few seconds then press 3 that's it lol

[@Whydoineedahandlepissoff]

Sounds like Janus

[@christianmarrero5196]

yeah but the thing with zeus is that he does not have any mobility at all, no escapes, no jumps and he basically feels like hades (hes really slow for a guy who floats around on a cloud), and for a new player mobility is an issue because most often than not they will get into bad positions and make themselves an easy gank prey

[@KaelinGamez]

Christian Marrero then put your ult on yourself wait a few seconds then press 3 done

[@wannabeneko318]

mate, you don't have your ultimate every couple of seconds, it has an 80 second cooldown, if anyone ganks you in that couple of seconds, you're dead, no question about it, and even if you do use your ult, if you play against a good mercury or kali, you're also dead.

[@BigSleepyJoeCooking]

One word: positioning

[@MechAce1337]

I find Ymir to be the best beginner God because he's a high damage guardian that has one of the best CC's in the game. Ymir is great for getting players to learn when it's time to be supportive and when it's time to deal some major damage.

[@RayndayGaming]

+MechAce1337 I can definitely agree with your points. I have answered this question quite a lot in the comments section regarding Guardians and why I don't have them in this list. Mainly, it's due to the fact that brand new players in SMITE have a hard time against a more veteran Support player and that role is often the role that paces and determines the fight by providing either initiation, peel or some combo of both. I find that a tall task for a newer player to understand the positioning and my experience is that damage roles provide more success for earlier players and for the teams they are on, until they learn more of the dynamics of the game! However, Ymir would be one of the guardians I include on this list if I were to have them on it! Thanks for the comment, buddy!

[@toffeem944]

hardest gods (in my opinion ) are : tyr osiris ullr chronos ao kuan

[@RayndayGaming]

+guni gugu I actually almost completely agree with this list, or that all of these Gods would be in the contention for this actual list. If I ever do a video like this, I will definitely shout you out :)

[@toffeem944]

+Raynday Gaming thank u =)

[@gavinmahoney5402]

+guni gugu Hel instead of Ao, and we got a fuckin list.

[@toffeem944]

Gavin Mahoney lol yeah any stance switch is hard

[@gavinmahoney5402]

guni gugu Amaterasu isn't gonna be hard lmao

[@Backfireoftheworld]

I just want to say I really enjoy your channel and you have helped me personally quite a bit. Thank you and you are well worth subscribing to :)

[@OfficiallyRetired]

Where is my LOKI

[@STRANGE_BRO]

He just doesn't want to promote him. With good reasoning. Fking loki instalockers...

[@Whydoineedahandlepissoff]

Where is my goobis?

[@alexmedrano1631]

loki takes no skill so Loki is for plebs not begginers

[@spence0238]

Loki is for those who are scared to actually fight and those with little to no skill.

[@BigSleepyJoeCooking]

Loki is hard dude I'm always impressed when I see someone who can actually play him well. The only thing easy about him is he is good at escaping, but that doesn't mean shit if he can't do anything.

[@mmomario12]

It's interesting how Chang'e isn't on here. I found her to be very beginner friendly, having high damage combined with a hard to miss stun as her ult and having high mobility and sustain so she can make mistakes and not suffer for them very much. And let's not forget her ability that literally makes her invincible for a moment and gives her back mana. she probably would have taken chiron's spot if this was my list. but other than that I agree with everything.

[@RayndayGaming]

+mmomario12 Interesting. I like Chang'e, I really do. I think she is underrated, and underused. You make great points, but I think that Chang'e has a bit of a difficult time competing with some of the gods in this list in terms of overall fight effectiveness. Although she has good mobility, cc immunity and decent damage, I feel that Chiron brings a lot more to the team engagement and has much better survivability with his ult and #3 dash. HOWEVER, I really like Chang'e and I would be happy with a list that included her at that spot :) thanks for your comment!

[@afrikasmith1049]

Agni's ultimate is the best long range attack as long as you can get your team member to hold your target.

[@camofan123]

for people looking for melee gods to play as beginners ill say for guardians i have to recommend Ymir. Ymir is a threat throughout the entire game and is widely feared for how well he can lock down enemies and trap them. His freeze is not a hard CC to land at all and the only real way you can miss it really is if the opponent happens to jump out of the way or you have frame rate issues. Ymirs passive and his ice spike path makes for great way clear as well and its good for general harass. And his ultimate is also good for causing panic in team fights and is also good for executions due to its high damage. The only problems ymir has is one almost all guardians share is their easily eaten away mana pool at the start of the game and how one bad wall can easily screw over your team. But i personally think the benefits outweigh those cons. as for solo laner....eh...ill let someone else try and carry that torch. I dont play solo lane much

[@cordlessslinkey7179]

I agree with Agni being a good starter Mage.hell hes my first God I ever bought and I use him all the time(except if someone allready picked him I'm stuck with bellona or ratatoskr)

[@RayndayGaming]

+Cordless Slinkey7 I'm glad to hear you like the list, bud. Thank you for commenting and letting me know. I think Agni covers a lot of the criteria I have set in terms of picking the best beginner gods in SMITE and he is widely used in a lot of scenarios both professional and casual and across all game modes.

[@MainlySpoons]

I think Janus is good for beginners. He can get out of bad situations easily with his portal and dimension rift thing and his special hits anywhere across the map

[@troyty007]

I agree with this list a lot! Awesome job with this list :D

[@RayndayGaming]

+troyty007 Thanks man!!!!

[@fish2567]

maybe you should do a video on your top 10 personal favorite gods in smite

[@RayndayGaming]

+Thatcher Brown Geat Idea buddy! I just may....

[@Reeceachu]

The only problem I have with this list is that 2 of the gods on here are hunters, yes they are easy for beginners to use but all needed to be done by hunters is basic attacks so that beginners wont be able to learn how to play smite to a larger extent. This is the same with Kukulkan's whirlwind but I do agree with the Poseidon and Agni choices.

[@RayndayGaming]

+Reeceachu Thanks for your opinion! I think the hunting is a valuable aspect of the game, and an important role to master. While it may or may not contribute to them learning all of the skills to master a Warrior, Guardian, Mage or Assasin, with very different attack patterns associated for each role - I do believe that these Gods are great for beginners. Even the hunters. If my goal for this video was to create a list of Gods that would support people in learning the game, which in all fairness, is a good thing for beginners to do, I may include a Guardian here and swap out one hunter. However, I think the hunter role is a very important role to learn, valuable for the team, and a lot of the God's here are very easy for a new player to become acclimated to the game. I appreciate your points though and you make a good one. Thank you for commenting and sharing your opinion. Means a lot!

[@Reeceachu]

no, I'm just saying that they are not the best for new players to lean due to them being TOO easy. That would be good to include a Guardian due to them being an extremely important role during the team fights, it would be interesting to see what one you include as well. No need to thank me, you are the one trying to help new players on the game so you deserve people to show their support and give their opinions. Hope this does help people so that you get what you want : 3

[@mxm_prime2191]

Even though mages are typically the most easy to play, you should have a seperate top 5 for other classes. For example I think chaac is a really easy warrior, good for beginners. Cupid is definitely the easiest hunter. Bastet is probably the easiest assassin (although assassin is hard in general when you aren't used to it). for mages i would say poseidon in lane, his waveclear is safer (agni has to be closer) and agni in arena becaus he has a better escape and better range. Easiest guardian I think is Geb. Im wondering what you think

[@RayndayGaming]

+Maximous Prime I like the idea for other classes and I have to agree with you that this would be an interesting series when looking at all of the different roles in smite. Thanks for the ideas. I would say Geb is probably the easiest Guardian as well, but the verdict is still out in terms of the assassin for me. Possibly Hun Batz? I have to think about that more!

[@Osw1nn]

+Maximous Prime I disagree with cupid being the easiest hunter because missing his heartbomb can be a huge deal and it's a bit of a skill shot skill. His basic attacks do less damage than other hunters because his heart bomb is supposed to make up for it. I believe neith is by far the easiest hunter because her 1 by itself is an amazing ability for wave clear and rooting, and it only gets better when you combine it with your three. I will, however, agree that cupid has one of the best group fighting potentials. He is amazing on paper, but not so much on actual gameplay.

[@j.kol3491]

Bellonna and Zeus should be on this list I found them very good when I first started playing

[@Edb3]

Subscribed! Thanks for this top 5!! :)

[@ntabiblaze]

my 1st god was Thanatos waaay back in beta, I think it was when I saw the reveal for him and I decided to try him out, man did i suck with him, but now he's my best cuz he forced me to actually read what the abilities did and holy crap he is a glass cannon lol

[@RayndayGaming]

+ntabiblaze Great story, and great job persevering with a very difficult God to master!

[@raiens508]

did i do a mistake with buying him as my first god?

[@internetexplorer5738]

I would say hades is by far the easiest god to play and best for beginners. He has a lot of mobility, sustain and utility and can really help out team fight with his ultimate. But i do agree with you on agni as your number one. He was the first god i mained and my favourite god to this day his kit is so easy to play but difficult to master.

[@happytime2781]

I was watching these video when released and I was starting with game and now again. Ofcourse is that Yours list but I don't exactly agree with Chiron and Agni. They both great gods but starting players may struggle with they ultimates. Both have few shots with ult which makes highly possible that u miss part of it, even if aim perfectly enemies may dash/jump off. In these way Cupid is perfect for beginers. I will add for these list Artemis - her stun/slow/root potential its huge especially ultimate it's a fury homing misile U cant miss ;P Generally imo hunters are best pick for starters - you build up attack speed and crits and harass enemies with autoatacks, dont mention abilities.

[@propio5966]

i like the list but it would be nice to do different top 5 gods per role for beginners if anything maybe top 3

[@Dougger00]

I agree with this list, but for me I would have said, 1. Neith 2. Thor 3. Poseidon 4. Bastet 5. Ratatoskr These were some of the easiest gods in smite for me to understand and play well with when i started.

[@Spyce09]

i know this is a month old but i think leveling poseidons whirlpool is the most effective way to do the most dmg and zone out enemies

[@RayndayGaming]

+Mr.Porpoise t Interesting! I usually level his 1, but I think it also depends on playstyle. I definitely think what you are saying is valid. Thanks for commenting man, and I appreciate the view!

[@jeetking1157]

I agree with you and if you combine it with the kraken its a guaranteed kill

[@patrickrepko7065]

Ah puch is best for begginer, good range and great dmg, he is also good for team fights. Basically all around if a begginer was to want to start off easy.

[@roflstompin]

i always found assassins and other melee type gods easier to pick up, possibly because all i play in games is physical damage type melee characters.

[@suppaklutch196]

I picked up ra as my first God and I've been supporting my team a lot. But I can also play on the offensive if I need to so I think ra is a good god to pick up honestly

[@Whydoineedahandlepissoff]

He's free at the start XD

[@KamakazeTaco]

I'm very surprised Neith wasn't number 1. She's got a giant AoE lifesteal, she can root either a single person or a group and her back flip is a very quick escape. Not to mention it's literally impossible to miss with her ultimate, it's going to hit someone.

[@DrakoNight98]

I would of considered Ra in there somewhere he is super powerful like stupidly so and anyone can line up his one with the wave and be passive till they don't need to worry about it anymore

[@Silverblade10]

i'm not sure agni would be good for a beginner, cause you have to keep track of meteors, although his basic 3 powers are easy to understand, his ultimate can be a lot confusing for many people, also, i would have expected neith to be in this list as well.

[@tearmonk3y463]

For anyone who still watched this video, pick up artemis from the offer from hi rez. If you use the high build end game you can 3 hit kill enemies

[@PingachuWarham]

damage isn't everything. the lack of a reliable escape means you gotta be very mindful about your positioning. you also need a lot of experience in order to use her traps efficiently. neith is a way better hunter for beginners with her frequent stun, high sustain, easy scape and infinite range ult. even if you dont achieve the highest player damage of the match you are still helping your team inmensely.

[@codyjensen1876]

Nice vid man keep up the nice work

[@arcane607]

I started with Zeus as my first god about a month ago, I got him to 10 mastery, don't know what god to play next, also Zeus got a lot of nerfs for some reason so I don't know if I should even still us him.

[@RayndayGaming]

+Arcane Well, Zeus actually received quite a lot of buffs recently with his kit change making him the most damaging character in SMITE most likely. But I think picking up a God in another role would be great for you. I think all beginners should try to master a God in each role, and learn what that role does in a team fight (hunter, warrior, guardian, mage, assassin) so that you are always able to fill in whatever slot your team needs, and you also are aware of the enemies' objectives in those opposite roles. Ex. The guardian role is looking to peel and CC you to either disrupt your attack or set up his teammates - knowing this will help you see those attempts coming and mitigate your chances at falling for them, thus improving your success.

[@Dayum343]

As a master 8 Agni player, I would not recommend Agni for new players (although he is who I started with). His kit is relatively confusing and requires quite a no. of things to be kept in mind. He is also mechanically tougher since he has no nuke ability unlike a Scylla ult or kraken, this forces him to combo his ability to do damage hence making him tougher to play. He may have decent way clear (decent due to short range on his 2), a good escape, long range ult and easy to build, he is tougher than say a Scylla, kukulkan or Poseidon. I know I've mentioned her a lot but I would rather recommend Scylla since she's easy to play, easy to get good, somewhat slow but good escape and only downside is being very squishy.

[@joshcuba492]

+Dayum343 I agree that Scylla has a very welcoming kit for beginners, but she tends to struggle early game against gods with superior clear (Anubis, Poseidon, Nu Wa, Kukulkan). That combined with the fact that she is tough to play when coming from behind means she could be a bit discouraging for newer players who haven't mastered farming. That said, I would 100% recommend Scylla for a beginner over Agni. I just think gods like Ra, Kukulkan, and poseidon are so easy to farm with that even a new player would have a tough time not keeping up (unless they feed).

[@FlaviaPitariu]

I loved nieth or however you spell it. then I fumbled wuthering kali which I adore for later game. I haven't got the grip with arachne yet but I love her model. next one I want is medusa

[@nephiuwu]

Idd have to say bellona. She's so tanky that even a newer player can trade and still get back to safety. Also her ultimate is super easy to contribute to team fights. Bellona seems like she was made to bring people into the game

[@Ifedoll]

I personally don't think Pos or Agni belong on the list, and Chirons ult is actually somewhat difficult to use well. Neith definetely belongs on this list as well as Ra. Chang'e could easily go on here as well. I think i would switch those three for Chiron Pos and Agni

[@Patch_Z]

when I first started i played "the bird guy" with my gf and I got kills left and right with that 1,000,000 healing achievement and he became my first X I remember seeing my history at it was just Ra every round , as for my gf she played neith every round

[@justanothercommenter5835]

The way he says Kulkulkahn makes it sound like Khotal Khan, á la Mortal Kombat.

[@HuzaifaKhan-jz3df]

its Kotal Kahn not Kotal Khan.

[@bradjr10]

Agni would not be my number 1 he is to squish for me.I personally think Yimir is a great beginner god. if you look at it he is very diverse he can be built for damage or like a tank. he already has a lot of hp for beginners this helps when they over extend. his kit is very good easy to use maybe with the exception of his ult. He is also very good in competitive

[@hirozelp]

i can see where you coming from with the top 5 gods for beginners but i don't agree with it. when i started playing first god i used was actually an assassin ratatoskr and i played better with him than any other god, i know it based off preferences on which god you use but you should have included some up close fighters like assassins and guardians, but apart from tha great video :) .

[@Halfmoon221]

Surprised Lokis not on this list. He has an easy escape considering no beginner knows how to deal with a invisible enemy and considering no one builds defense as a beginner Loki melts and can pub stomp really easily as a beginner.

[@purple455]

my first 2 gods i bought are thanatos and serqet...

[@LoppyYT]

only hunters and mage's, make sense, no joke

[@farklotinc3359]

i recommend zeus for beginners very easy to get kills with :D he's so broken but i love it!

[@2pacisdagoat213]

same

[@NurainOkeAde]

Zeus has no get away plan, plus his movement is terrible.

[@permin9533]

Beginners even with 500 movement speed and all 4 spells and passive escapes will die

[@rainbowtsunamianimations1230]

I own Chiron kukulkan (I’m god mastery 2 with kukulkan) I don’t have Cupid (he’s in free rotation rn) I don’t have Poseidon I’m gonna get Agni I’ve used him he’s Great I love him

[@g-man9249]

I'm pretty sure that KulKuKan wasn't named AoKuang just that that was his model the KuKulKan was introduced and the model was given to him.

[@auriel310]

Ao Kuang used to have Kuku's abilities before he was reworked. Kukulkan came after when Ao was reworked, because it suits his lore well.

[@acefarrenholz1319]

+OneLifeLeft Not exact same abilities there were some nerfs to them his tornado was much better.

[@KurisuBlaze]

+OneLifeLeft Hun Batz is a similar case for Sun Wukong.

[@mishali9358]

as a beginner i would recommend you Neith.

[@RayndayGaming]

+Mischali I Agree. I would have included her on this list at about the 6th spot, and she could possibly be switched with Cupid.

[@kristsaizvakars3788]

Nice video!

[@RayndayGaming]

+Kraken LordUxz Thanks brotha man! I appreciate the comment, have a great day!

[@MetalGearRaxis]

I picked up Nu Wa relatively early thanks to the you tube offer. I wonder if she was the right god for a newbie? :p She's my main mid either way.

[@Kithara1117]

+Raxis Taicho She's not super hard for a new player as long as you read her skills. I'd say her passive is hard to use effectively early on, the clay soldiers have bad AI no matter what level you are on, and she doesn't have great getaways unless you're very good at juking. However, having a guarantee hit on your ult is great for securing kills (since it's frustrating when people walk away with little health, the ult helps you secure kills like that where other gods might just chase for days and get killed for it) and it helps gaining better map awareness. I also like having easy combos like her 2-3 combo, helps teach how abilities interact.

[@thenoobyXD]

Neith should be the top few god She has an escape which made her immune from any attacks A heal which increase her sustain as a hunter in lane (one of the best self heal mind you) A root which deal a shit ton of damage early game and her passive made that even much more irritating. The one thing i hate about smite is laning against a Neith....

[@kalliegris]

I am a beginner and kali and Thor were more helpful than agni and Poseidon. Something my friends found very strange is that i mastered Hades pretty quick 😂

[@filipbartulovic8475]

For me loki is in first place,first time i played with loki i had 17 kills and 2 deaths

[@RayndayGaming]

+Tsumanic Spore7 I actually can see your point, as I know a lot of beginner's use Loki and do rather well. However, I don't believe that he's a great God right now, and has a lot of weaknesses that other God's can take advantage of, or more experienced players can easily purchase items to counter (Aegis). However, a very good loki is extremely hard to stop! I Just wouldn't recommend a God that has to get very close to do damage in an ideal situation for a beginner who is learning the game!

[@foxychick5292]

switch poseidon out for Medusa and switch Medusa and Agni and you got my list

[@ultimatekeyboardwarrior8456]

I’m curious about this game it reminds me a lot of paragon.. hoping this could be the replacement

[@polarbear6945]

"Poseidon isn't number one because his ult brings you closer to the enemy than i would like" 10 sec later...*Shows agni dashing into the enemy*

[@Arbitaylis]

I agree with everything except for Cupid!

[@AyyAsttrox]

Completely agree with this, but I think ra should be on this tho...

[@cyanpepper8458]

I agree with the list!

[@RayndayGaming]

+Julian C Awesome!

[@stanleytaylor4566]

What about physical gods in case you have terrible aim or just prefer playing them? I honestly prefer guardians over mages so I try to play those more often.

[@bluntboi101]

i'm not a smite beginner but i'm rank 10 with cupid and use all the time in joust
