The Smite Game Play Basics

By Zoe Hastings


It may not be possible to go see a match between gods but at least it is possible to design how it would look like. This is through Smite, which is a Multiplayer Online Battle Game or simple MOBA. It is in 3D and has a third person camera perspective making it more interactive. Greek, Egyptian, Hindu, Roman among other mythical gods exist in this game.

Each team is composed of players depending on the game mode three to five on each side. At the beginning, players have gold at their disposal to make purchases or upgrade items. Both teams are on the opposite sides of a map at this time. Purchasing is by use of gold or certain bonuses called favor.

Continuous lanes run from one end of the map to the other. Amid these lanes are phoenix structures designed for defense of lanes. On the outside of the lanes comprise a jungle where monsters roam. There exists four game modes which are at the disposal of players. In most MOBA, the conquest game mode is a five against five game play. To succeed in this Conquest, the player must slay the Titan of the enemy team. In addition, the game has no restricted time frame.

Arena game mode is the second game mode available for the game. It has two teams just like Conquest which battle in a coliseum. Minions circle around the middle and are very important in the game play. If you lose yours more of your points are deducted and you lose the match if they run out. Assault is another way of playing this game where the players are given a random god. Trickle of gold here is faster.

Joust is the last mode is a good one for beginners as it gives variations of one to one or three to three players. As a result, it also good for battling with friends. It has one lane, one tower and a phoenix on both sides. League Joust mode is for solo players. There are different types of god to battle. To tell them apart from the crowd each of them has different abilities.

The abilities of a god defines how the particular god plays. For example, if you are seeking to damage enemies, you may employ Thor. The number of points, level and type of game influences the type of god to choose. In addition, one may loan or modify the abilities of a god. This will involve modifying their basic attack techniques or their spells.

Crowd control, buffs and area of effect damage are some of particular spells from gods which may be modified. There is an area called the jungle that exists between the continuous lanes in which monsters roam periodically. Just like in other games, there are items that are purchased or given as bonuses which influence the game. In this game, these items are in a three level tier.

Getting from one tier to another is made possible by use of gold which is a process known as leveling up. With each tier up, the benefits are more and abilities of the gods are increased. It is not possible to level up while still in battle, you have to go back to the base. This is enabled by teleporting but the catch is you should walk back to the battle ground.
