I love assault. Best part of conquest is the big team battles. Assault is non stop big team battles 😍 Best place to practice big team battles and team comp imo
If you want that, play Arena lmao. Assault is only good for forcing yourself to play new people, that's it. And this is coming from an ARAM main on League.
As an Assault Main, I love having a team of all Physical dmg. Then we all build Mystical Mail, Dealing Unprotected Mag Dmg so fast it WRECKS in team fights.
Pretty accurate overall minus a couple outliers. Bacchus on someone who knows how to play him well is an absolute bully. I'd place him S or S+. Same goes with Cernunnos. Great video! Should totally do more of these. Love your content.
Baccus is just broken in general. I started the game years ago, left because of boredom, came back 2 weeks ago and the bastard is still the best Guardian I've ever seen. He should NOT do that much damage while providing that much CC.
So great to see assault getting some attention. It was my go-to game mode after I started playing for quite some time (got 2k games played lol). Even now it's my go-to mode outside of conquest. Great video as always, keep it up!
Good video, love me some assault gamemode. Your videos over the last year have gotten me back into Smite (on and off since S2) so thanks for that. I always get a fresh and fun perspective from your commentary
Most casual game mode. I've found that assult is actually great for learning the games mechanics. Typically the players are generally helpful and not toxic. Assult forces you to play gods you wouldn't so it forces you to learn every good witch is important for later conq play. At least knowing what the other players can do will help you in knowing what you can do. Also the format is typically really fast witch helps get you more experience.
Clio should be A, she has a pretty decent poke and abuses the items that are good for assassins in Assault. Her ability to go invisible and her long dash gives her pretty good safety and her ult is great for pseudo-trapping pushed-up mages. And though her passive doesn't have a lot of use, she can easily confirm the jungle orb or kill a low-health target going for the orb.
I actually have gotten a lot of use out of her passive. It's easy to trap the enemy team from the wall with your 1 and ults when they're pushing your titan as they're funneled in the small area.
As AMC, if you fight a team that has heavy healing then you should build a tainted steal as your starter. The bees will spread the effect so you can steal 15% of the enemy team's healing. Edit: Raijin can also do a similar effect by using raiju and divine ruin.
@@drewn85 Brawler's and bluestone aren't applied by bees. They used to be, but that was removed a few years ago. I wasn't aware that tainted was applied by bees, but tainted is applied by mystical mail damage, so the way it's coded might allow it. I'm not sure what criteria they use, mystical mail does apply tainted, but Odysseus' bow doesn't.
Nah that doesn't work. If they have healing just go tainted stone off Gaia first buy. You'll out sustain mana and hp, shut down their healing, counter knock ups (heal off of meteor to). There is no point in damage if you never have hp or mana to apply it. Stone of gaia is core on every God work very few exceptions.
honestly i really REALLY think that hell also desesrves broken tier. she had 2 really strong heals, one of which a big team heal, she has good damage, has the cc immune for her teammates and something you havent mentioned at all with both ah puch and aphro for example, is she gets an ass ton of free mp5. in a gamemode where its easy to stay away from antiheal procs and mana is rly good. hel is very busted
I think you overvalue some of these tanks. Ymir is practically castrated in this mode. His walls are so much worse without a jungle, and no neutral objectives for his ult to confirm/zone. He’s basically a freeze bot, and has to walk up to do it. No mobility, means when he does go in, he’s going to get punished. Also, I wouldn’t place so much value on the goods classified as healers. If you have one the enemy is guaranteed to have one, mitigating any advantage. Old Assault, before they bound the healers together, absolutely, maybe even value it more than you did in this video. Otherwise, pretty spot on. Might want to shift everything down a bit, though. I think most tier lists look like a bell curve, which yours really does not.
healers are redundant since you should be getting stone of gaia first item on everyone. infinitel hp/mana. Ymir is defensive in this mode, he destroys divers and can defend titan like no one else. His wall closes the gap allowing you to run up or keeps them under tower. The reason people struggle is because they aren't building gaia to negate damage they take. They just take damage and than sit around waiting for med and jungle heals. Gaia will make you tankier than any defense item and it's not even close.
Hun Batz, Mulan, Morgan La Fey, Camazotz and Neith in A is just tragic... Hun Batz is always top damage, and with the ult you give someone a penta for free. When you build Bluestone, Soul Eater, Heart Seeker and Crusher the enemy team just cries. Fun fact: I've seen a Hun Batz 3 quadra kill under tower once, lol. Mulan and Morgan are just broken, period. Have you ever played Camazotz in Assault? Do you not see how many pools there are, always? Neith weaves are one shot opportunities and similar to Cama, they're all over the place. Plus her 2 with Soul Eater on the wave is just.. chefs' kiss
Neith is S, she has amazing sustain and damage when built like an ability assassin. Just don't be super aggressive and she'll be able to out poke most mages.
Tier list Inflation really go crazy. It’s an irk of mine that people are so afraid to have stuff in lower tiers that they make like more and more tiers to put on top
Only tweak I would put as somebody who plays assault a ton is putting Cthulhu into S+. Major game changer when he ults, it deals damage to basically the entire team, continues to deal aoes and knockups, as well as heal your team in a pinch. His fear and mire attack are also great at peeling teams and keeping them at a distance. Not only that but I had a teammate who had never played Cthulhu before easily carry the rest of the team just because he's that broken in assault. I believe another contributor to the tier ranking is just how easy the playstyle of the god you're using is. Some high ranked gods are amazing but if you've never played them before then you wouldn't be as successful which should be put into account in ranking them.
Cu Chulainn should be higher as well. With items like Stone of Gaia + his passive rage management is super easy. You literally just bait the other team to slap you up. It’s so effective if you pop off enough they will start to try and ignore you, which also isn’t going to work unless they can wipe your entire team and save you for last. Much easier said than done.
Favorite game mode!! Thank you for the video!! Ah Puch definitely broken in assault mode. I have managed to carry games as Arachne tho, but they tend to be long matches and the team has to be on point. Otherwise she’s a rough pick in here for sure
I would have put horus lower as he gets shut down by cripples and because my teammates usually just run away from me so I can't heal them. Maybe it's cuz I'm a newer player so I get put with shitters.
Love all your vids long time fan nd play a ton of assualt so this is really cool to see keep up the awesome vids and would Def like to see updated versions of this 😀
I love assault. But... 58:16, i sincerely disagree with Zeus being the most broken god in assault, in the most non-troll way possible. So, if you made this video before he had his non-conquest nerfs, absolutely im in the wrong. But, with his non-conquest changes i think he's safer to lane against. It's not the end all be all. Don't get me wrong, he's definitely S+, but not broken. You have a Sobek or any sort of pressure support to hold zeus down and he just doesn't have fun anymore. You have to make it your mission to make sure Zeus doesn't have fun in your game, otherwise your entire team won't have any fun. The second he comes into lane, just kill him with a good support+follow up. I would even go as far as to say Ah Puch isn't as broken as he once was. (He's definitely higher than Zeus, but he's not *as broken* as he once was.) With the non-conquest changes we've been receiving, Assault is honestly ready for a Ranked mode. I thought this once we had balanced healers. Yemoja can't lane against Horus anymore, thank goodness, and it's only gotten better.
Any tank or brusier lacking sustain, consider mail of renewal. %15 health heal for you and over time on nearby allies when it procs. Extra heals can't be understated
I've become addicted to playing AA assassins in assault. I just build benevolence stone of Gaia to start, then either go full damage or AA tank pending the team's needs. AA guardians are another guilty pleasure i enjoy in Assault
Hi! I play A LOT of Assault, and I agree a lot with you, but... I would put Ra and Terra down one tier. Their healing is great, but it depends on the other players getting there, as opposed to the other healers. So not as efficient as the others. I would move up Artemis by one rank, the traps are more useful than you may think, they are often hard to see in a teamfight. Eset should move up also, the stun is just almost an instant kill in a team fight. And I would move up Thanatos by one rank too. Movement speed is important in this game mode, and getting in the fight faster, I think no one else can do it better than Thanatos (except maybe Athena). Otherwise, another great video from you!
arachne isn't really that bad in assault, just build her bruiser (bellona build) and you can kill a lot of backliners for free, plus the fact that merc is higher then clio is insane
Preaching to the wrong man here brother. Inter has a hatred for arachne that i will never understand (we all have gods we hate due to personal bias) but saying arachne doesn’t work tanky shows how little he plays her
I generally agree with your analysis (assault is about poke, sustain and setup) but there is some flaws in what you value, remember in 5v5 enclosed lane its very difficult for long channeled abilities to finish casting, melee characters are always are at a disadvantage and only certain cc's are valuable bc good characters have built in cc and knockup immunity's so... btw i did my own tierlist, this is where i differed in opinion Ama should be up in S+ tier, the 1 aura you arent valuing enough as a engage/disengage tool, its singlehandily saved teams on the run after losing a fight. artio with her long channeled 3 and close range 1 and 2 should be down a tier Aphro is down in D, its simple, despite all you can do its incredibly hard to match the healing of a Hel or yemoja, i dont care what aggro says about healing output, those 2 gods can heal the whole team with 1 ability while aphro only heals 1 person per cast. you are always at a disadvantage. they both have more tools for their team and more healing, aphro is D until shes out of T1, aphro v aphro she is C bc the game boils down to poke and who can kill the other teams aphro first, the aphro isnt the showrunner, kiss needs dmg if she were to actually be S tier bell should be down 2 tiers, low cc, ult is the only hard cc and immunity bastet should be up a tier, she was a top 12 ban in IA before 9.5, which has nerfed her but she is still really strong, the 3 has an incredible skill ceiling this is just my opinion but chronos is S+ because u can build him so many ways tank and dmg, top 5 most versatile gods good cc, poke, sustain and a cc immunity Cthlulu is broken, if the enemy team does not have a hunter its a free win, its so hard to play around the ult as mage, u cant cc so u cant combo and u cant run either... art is in S, the kit just does dmg, the ult pretty much always clips the entire enemy team, if ur gonna have s+ and broken art is an S, ability cd, crit, AS qins, lots of ways to build her fen is down in C, it is incredibly hard for the doggo to perform at high level when he cant gank from a flank, your blink ult is telegraphed, people generally have beads, for every 5 fenrirs i play 1 is doing things, the other 4 just feed, with as many gods as there are and hopefully competent teammates you should look for another god, dont overvalue a kit that is entirely melee range, hes got the same problems as baka and arachne, u need to facecheck a team to land ur dmg hachi is in S+ bc his passive, unlimited mana opens up his buildpath so much, qins with crit etc, cc immune ult hades is in C, he is a melee range mage, he cant get the tankyness per dmg of warlocks bc no stacking, its the same problem as fen, u have to facecheck a whole team to press ur buttons heim is in s+, cc and knockup immunity, aoe autos, great brawlers applyer, passive is always full stack. u got cherno charb right but u undervalue heim? medusa is s+, shes got burst and poke built in plus a great team fighting ult that provides CC immunity, u forgot the 2 also does anti heal, easily a top 3 hunter behind amc and xbal merc is in s, hes got poke in the 1, AS AND MS stim WITH slow immunity in the 2(that decrease cd as u lvl), a cripple root that throws where ever the merc wants an enemy while ur knockup immune at all times, and a cc immune ult that is also good setup and secure. oh and thats before you build him as a tank, seriously this is actually one of the most slept on tanks in the game especially in assault. another incredibly versatile god MLF is in S+, 1 and 3 are great poke(Aoe fear/slow?), CC immune ult that heals, seriously this is a criminal undervalue NZ is broken, ring toss alone puts him in S+, then u add in the sustain from the 2 that is an AS stim, the 3 an unDR'd stun and the ult which is just a better khumba ult, incredibly versatile kit and build options, if MLF undervalueing is criminal this is felonious nu wa is in A, the god is incredibly easy to isolate and pick off, and her minions give stacks to bene and war flag/banner, there are much more dominant mages that can impose their will, nu wa does not dominate lobby's its a gimmick at best, the 1 creates more for the teammates than the rest of the kit does for 80% of the game, 1 bene counters her no cap. perse is in broken, u can shell teams with flowers and warrior's axe, a good perse wins every game her team doesnt throw, bc for some reason every time u die to get full build with 8k gold, is when the team decides to fight a 4v5 without you... raijin is in B, he was underperforming before 9.5 and he has only done worse since then, he just doesnt do dmg, even full build u just dont do enough dmg, the cc is incredibly double edged at all points in the game, escape is easily countered serqet is in C, another fenrir dilemma, to use your buttons you need to facecheck 5 gods, that doesnt go well, the 2 range is so short to consistently peel for your team, the ult barely saves this god and its still an incredibly double edge channeling even full tank set is in A, his poke is slept on even in a hybrid roll, full dmg its actually crazy how he can burst a whole team late game with just a double 2 and 1 combo, the problem is hirez set bot plays set better than 80% of the player base, legit, if u wanna learn set the hirez bot does the kit justice if eset and artio dont count as healers, why does shiva? is it fair that the shiva has to ult to heal his teammates when its just another normal cd for cupid, olorun, baron skadi is S if u lvl the 3 first and B if u lvl the 1 first, crazy how much skill floor changes with lvl order, idky people lvl a line skillshot that puts u at risk and only provides a slow when u can lvl an aoe hard cc that persists AND gives MS first that gets bigger and therefore easier to hit, and easier to hit more targets with first...smh Tsuk is in S+ and should get a broken honorable mention bc he can poke tower from outside the towerline, that and a kit that makes it nearly impossible to fight into him, he can be a tank, hyrbid or carry, built a bunch a different ways and still does dmg. Ullr is down in A, he is not a versatile god, its not easy to build AS on him, its primarily a phys mage style kit that does well into squishes and poorly into tanks, u can go hyrbid but ullr's assault is weak, needs another AS based character to burn tanks Vman is in S+, Sov is the best item in assault and no one gets more from sov than vman, his 2 is really good poke, he has a knockup, can build ability burst or AS, and anytime u force an enemy to build ankh over a beads, med blink thats a win Xbal is in S+, the second best hunter and brawlers applier in the game behind amc, its hard to understand but flat pen is his best stat, u dont need cd, u just want the 1 bolos and 2 to apply brawlers and crusher(2 only), u have a cc immunity on a normal ability that has insane poke, and turning off the lights is a great teamfight tool Zeus is not broken, honestly i think he barely makes A, no hard CC, very gankable like nu wa with no immunities, and the 9.5 changes + his non conquest nerfs mean he just doesnt do the pre9.5 destruction we all associate him with, he is not worth a ban in IA. you could put him in S and i wouldnt complain but he is definitely not broken cmon ZK is S+, he's got a heal, stun, slow, knockup immunity, is super versatile in build paths, AS, Bruiser, Full tank, Full dmg. Overall this was a great list, I'm sorry if my words offended you or were toxic, ive played over 2000 assault/IA matches and are the only things i queue regularly, i dont think you take into account some of the non-conquest buff/nerfs applied to the godpool. set and zeus seem like 2 of the most glaring examples of post 9.5 heavy adjustment not recognized. also nu wa is bad.
Disagree with this. Thoth is the absolute destroyer , so he should be in the same lane with ah puch and zeus, AMC should be there too cause a skilled player will make you suffer every fight. Aphro should be in A tier , cause her healing is for 1 target so in fights cant help too much . This tierlist is good for beginners but for assault mains it's a bit weird . For example morgana is an absolute menace for the enemy team cause killing her with a melee is a real challenge
i might be biased because arachne is one of my mains, but arent you underestimating her a bit? sho got really good selfheal and antiheal built in her kit and has great control over the jungle area thanks to her nets. I usually had great games with her, even before the 10.9 buff.
I main assault (61% of my games are assault matches with 1500 assault games) and I disagree with a few gods on your tier list. I feel like you're not fully considering the build-style that is unique to Assault that makes certain gods way worse than you'd think. Example: Aphro is B Tier in assault, yes her heals are good but they're single person heals and everyone builds divine ruin and maybe Ankh just to F you over. I also feel like Ne Zha and Camatotz should be in S+. Ne Zha with soul eater in assault is DISTUGSTING (i have a 71% win rate with him in assault) and Cama passive will have you just full healing in the middle of the map for free.
Great video, great fun list. I love these concepts. But I gotta disagree with you on some things. Thinking Ao is decent in Assault because of his execute is cope imo, he literally does nothing else.. Putting Agni in the same tier as AO is a crime, Agni deserves to be higher. Ik Assassins are seen as terrible in Assault (most are) But I do feel like you slightly undervalue Set, Susano & Pele.. Stick a Souleater 1st item, build into burst damage & frag the backline in teamfights.
Yeah agreed, I mean I say this as a man who loves playing Ao in assault and can often frag with him, he's trash in assault lol. You have to be so careful and picky with when you go in especially if you build him normally and don't go tanky. You are relying on your opponents not getting beads. You are relying on your team having decent aoe or poke so they can get some people injured before you go in. You are relying on them not having a ton of cc to peel you off. You are relying on your team having a decent beads/magis burner. I could go on. Ao can be amazing if you get the right comp but he's *extremely* situational.
Her healing has never been single target. It heals all allies in range. It's basically "single target" in solo queue but if timed right it's a team heal
@@dionjones6300 it only heals her and whoever she is linked to, she's actually only a very average healer, the thing that bumps her up and the reason people think she's op is solely because of the beads/aegis effect on her ult, outside of her ult she's very average imo
I was an Athena main, but Atlas is just so much better. A smoother kit, better ultimate, and is the only supportive guardian that can play while the enemy is hiding in their tower :)
Both are my favs... should try aggressive conquest build with athena. Manakins poly spirit robe pridwin.... back>ult low cooldown and she doesn't need the defence + hidden blade later too
For some of the achievements it’s faster to queue assualt and prey for the right character since no one buys beads at the start. Literally spent 5 hours trying to get the ares achievement for a 5 man pull and got it against a composition with no cc immunity who didn’t go beads lol
The question isn't how good you are in the teamfight, but how utterly obnoxious you can be. I wish Ah Puch wasn't crippled in every other mode because of how much he nukes here.
I agree tha rat is A, whenver I get him I start lono + thebes and buy the green acorn out in the lane. Not great damage, but good kill secure and sustain.
IMO chaac should be in the broken tier as he has unmissable poke that does ridiculous damage with an early glad shield and ridiculous sustain. All he needs is a heartward and he never runs out of mana.
Pele is lowkey broken ngl. Good poke and insane mobility, plus a potential team knock up. Went like 30 and 3 with pele on my first assault game, even got a penta kill. They had a rat and like 10 star ah puch, which were hell.
Anubis S is crazy I think his kit is sounds perfect for assault but he just gets destroyed when he presses 4. And anti heal so prevalent even without an Anubis. Idk I think ge feels terrible. Maybe unpopular opinion but he’s ass imo. And no pole
He's the worst performing god in assault and has been pretty much since his release, in the right hands he's a total beast but 99% of players cant play him well in assault
@@Fenriir yea because no one knows how to play him correctly...he has insane poke and dive potential. All I do is 2 +1 combo constsntly while the enemy is under tower trying to clear the minion wave
@@shannysalcedo3627 don't get me wrong I know what you mean, I do the same and I do pretty well with set in assault but statistically he is the worst performing god in assault and most people don't play him well there, it also doesn't help him on assault that he has a pretty high skill cap too
as an assault main with well over 2000 games played, i think you definitely got a few things wrong So amc is definitely in broken tier, his poke is unrivaled, and you build him mostly ability, hes easily the strongest physical god for assault. Easiest brawlers proc, its basically on them permanently, and you start with soul eater bluestone, you basically wont die until you decide you want to. Hes next level insane. Anhur is NOT S tier by any means. Standard basic attack hunters dont do super well in assault compared to ability ones, and anhur is no exception. You can poke ok, but the problem is that tower camping happens a LOT in assault, and youre not going to be landing too many autos either from tower or into tower, so your damage is kinda limited. The only thing keeping him from total irrelevancy is his ult being kinda nutty in a teamfight, so id say hes probably low A, maybe top of B, on that sort of border there. Aphro i honestly put in C tier. The problem isnt that aphro is bad, but its the fact they put her in the highest healer tier, but she generally sucks at healing. The problem is, she can only heal herself and one teammate at a time, so healing your team is incredibly slow, and since the other team also gets a random healer from her same tier, if they get anything that isnt another aphro, youre screwed. You CANNOT outheal them, and the enemy team will always be healthier overall than yours. If she was bumped down a tier id say yeah, S tier, but with her in the highest healer tier you generally do NOT want to see an aphro on your team during rerolls Id put baka in C not D, mostly because he can at least ult and shred with it, its at least a niche thats decent in team fights. But for the most part you NEED ult to be useful. Also decent when tanks are diving to kill your low health gods, since true damage. Bastet is easy high B tier, shes the best cleanup god, being able to safely finish low health people is invaluable. Also built in ability lifesteal plus soul eater means youre a pseudotank, can generally heal through a lot. The ult is amazing, you hit it its a free kill, plus the cat is obnoxious. You gotta trust the bastet main on this one, shes actually pretty good for assault, not the best but a solid pick. Edit: you did right by her in the end, glad to see it. Cabra is mid to low B tier. No mobility, gotta be in their face, and when tower camping is so prevalent, cabra does literally nothing there, and its even hard for him to dive unlike guardians like bacchus or athena, its harder to react to them than it is cabra. The only thing keeping him from C is the ult, but thats still not the most helpful thing tbh, its so easy to break, but it at least lets him dump his kit. Cupid S not S+, his healing and his ult are nice, but same as anhur, basic attacks arent the most reliable thing in assault, and cupid ONLY has basic attacks and an ability thats the same range as them, so his poke isnt that good, but his healing and teamfighting are great Erlang id put down in b, maybe even c. Hes not very tanky overall and its hard for him to do much, all melee basic attack focused gods generally suffer in assault, and he is no exception, especially losing the knockup hurt him significantly. Fafnir is A, hes ok but he rarely does anything. Terrible aoe, and without dragon he does practically nothing, and even with dragon you really need your team immediately ready to follow up, which rarely happens, and if hes youre only tank, the enemy team is probably gunna collapse on your squishies while you target one of theirs, so in the end its not worth. Only good if you have at least one other tank on your team. Honestly he bo is in C tier. You almost never get to use your 1 or ult because its a permanent team fight, and unless youve gotten at least 2 kills and the others are low, youre just gunna be blown up for getting that close. The only thing thats decent for he bo is how long ranged his 3 is, but like all of his hitboxes, almost no aoe. Very small hitboxes, and in teamfights, thats a problem. He has more in common with assassins than mages, and thats kinda a problem in assault. Hel goes in broken tier, the single best healer there is, if your teams gets hel and the enemy team doesnt, you just win 95% of the time. The healing is entirely unmatched, and she can do pretty insane damage too. Lancelot is C, but moving cleo to c is a mistake, she has pretty decent poke, can cleanup fairly well, and will very much snowball in teamfights Medusa is s, ability hunter food for assault, simple as that Merc is c, you can get a crit one here and there but mostly useless until super late game, and even then just ok. Nem is in D with arachne, basic attack melee with almost no redeeming qualities for assault, ive never in my 2000 games of assault EVER seen a nemesis go positive. Serqet D, never seen a serqet do anything worthwhile in assault
@@lassehoffmann625 she can, but its not gunna be very effective. Youre basically taking a god awful useless god who feeds, and turning them into a rock that does nothing but at least doesnt feed as much. Youre still not going to contribute much to the team, but at least you arent worse than nothing at all.
@@lassehoffmann625 i wouldnt give her that. Forcing your team to essentially fight 4v5 all game because your god is mostly useless, easy D tier. C tier is for god that on one or two occasions they MIGHT contribute something. Nem just doesnt.
Ranked assault would be so cool. 5 bans each, can see each other's god, can pick your own god. Might even be able to bring in a proper tier list, so each team will have an equal balanced team; excluding rerolling. They already do this with healers, so why not all the gods
Arachne in D..... Lol. Casual. This isn't conquest, you build her tanky with AA axe upgrade and she's unstoppable and safe. Cliodna is at least S. She can ult waves to full heal and defend towers while alone. She counters any tower dives. Nem is one of the best at cleaning up low hp targets, again you build her tanky. Xbal full tank is S+, I always go 15+ and 1 or 2. Putting rat above any of these gods is comical. I disagree with this entire list.
In my opinion amc is op as well start blue stone with brawlers they won’t heal at all with bees bro and through out the game they can’t catch you lol I’ve gone like 20-3 with amc
@@axios525 Really? I suppose you have evidence I can verify that support your assertion. I only found one list from a HiRez employee ⬇️. Arena appears to be the most popular mode. So we finally got an asnwer for this question. This is part of HiRezStew article about MM. Quoting Stew : "Conquest is actually the 3rd most popular mode in the game (Arena and Joust 3v3 are both more popular), and, of course, only a sliver of the Conquest population plays ranked. All of this does make the match-making problem challenging." So guys as you can see Duel and Siege are dead modes as I was always saying and they should be removed. If you are lazy to check the picture : 1. Arena 2. Joust 3v3 3. Conquest 4. Assault 5. Clash 6. Ranked Conquest 7. Current Adventures 8. MOTD 9. Ranked Joust 10. Siege 11. Joust Challenge? wtf is that lol 12. Duel
@@ericdunthorne1981 1. They've already been removed. 2. Popularity doesn't correlate to seriousness. People use arena when they're burned out and want to play braindead or master gods. Statistics can be skewed by new players who like to play arena. It's the shallowest game mode
thank god, as an assault main we are finally getting some love. such a great game mode we deserve ranked too
Yes. Assault ranked pls. 😤
Yesss or a new map ngl im kinda bored of the current one even tho its beautiful
Cant happen since its random
Finally, the most fun game mode gets a tier list 😎
i love how casual assault is, everybody jumping
I love assault. Best part of conquest is the big team battles. Assault is non stop big team battles 😍 Best place to practice big team battles and team comp imo
And then the assault scrubs come to conquest and die in lane and cry
If you want that, play Arena lmao. Assault is only good for forcing yourself to play new people, that's it. And this is coming from an ARAM main on League.
As an Assault Main, I love having a team of all Physical dmg. Then we all build Mystical Mail, Dealing Unprotected Mag Dmg so fast it WRECKS in team fights.
Then here comes me with one compassion
Pretty accurate overall minus a couple outliers. Bacchus on someone who knows how to play him well is an absolute bully. I'd place him S or S+. Same goes with Cernunnos. Great video! Should totally do more of these. Love your content.

every gods in S and A are in the enemy team, meanwhile we get all the low A and worse on our team after rerolling. it do be like that sometimes.
So great to see assault getting some attention. It was my go-to game mode after I started playing for quite some time (got 2k games played lol). Even now it's my go-to mode outside of conquest. Great video as always, keep it up!
Good video, love me some assault gamemode. Your videos over the last year have gotten me back into Smite (on and off since S2) so thanks for that. I always get a fresh and fun perspective from your commentary
Best gamemode
Most casual game mode. I've found that assult is actually great for learning the games mechanics. Typically the players are generally helpful and not toxic. Assult forces you to play gods you wouldn't so it forces you to learn every good witch is important for later conq play. At least knowing what the other players can do will help you in knowing what you can do. Also the format is typically really fast witch helps get you more experience.
@@kalvinsapmaz2869 This. As a Morrigan main this game mode is priceless if you truly want to get good as her.
Best gamemode
Assault is all I’ve played the last 2 years.
love the map, hate the random god element
Clio should be A, she has a pretty decent poke and abuses the items that are good for assassins in Assault. Her ability to go invisible and her long dash gives her pretty good safety and her ult is great for pseudo-trapping pushed-up mages. And though her passive doesn't have a lot of use, she can easily confirm the jungle orb or kill a low-health target going for the orb.
I actually have gotten a lot of use out of her passive. It's easy to trap the enemy team from the wall with your 1 and ults when they're pushing your titan as they're funneled in the small area.
She can safely defend and heal off waves then hide in the wall behind pheonix, she's top tier in this mode.
I recently started playing a lot of assault, and i have to say its really fun and way more dinamic than what people say
As AMC, if you fight a team that has heavy healing then you should build a tainted steal as your starter. The bees will spread the effect so you can steal 15% of the enemy team's healing.
Edit: Raijin can also do a similar effect by using raiju and divine ruin.
Why not just brawers and have bluestone for extra damage. Pen doesn't hurt either
@@drewn85 Brawler's and bluestone aren't applied by bees. They used to be, but that was removed a few years ago. I wasn't aware that tainted was applied by bees, but tainted is applied by mystical mail damage, so the way it's coded might allow it.
I'm not sure what criteria they use, mystical mail does apply tainted, but Odysseus' bow doesn't.
Nah that doesn't work. If they have healing just go tainted stone off Gaia first buy. You'll out sustain mana and hp, shut down their healing, counter knock ups (heal off of meteor to). There is no point in damage if you never have hp or mana to apply it. Stone of gaia is core on every God work very few exceptions.
honestly i really REALLY think that hell also desesrves broken tier.
she had 2 really strong heals, one of which a big team heal, she has good damage, has the cc immune for her teammates and something you havent mentioned at all with both ah puch and aphro for example, is she gets an ass ton of free mp5.
in a gamemode where its easy to stay away from antiheal procs and mana is rly good.
hel is very busted
Absolutely agreed.
I think you overvalue some of these tanks. Ymir is practically castrated in this mode. His walls are so much worse without a jungle, and no neutral objectives for his ult to confirm/zone. He’s basically a freeze bot, and has to walk up to do it. No mobility, means when he does go in, he’s going to get punished.
Also, I wouldn’t place so much value on the goods classified as healers. If you have one the enemy is guaranteed to have one, mitigating any advantage. Old Assault, before they bound the healers together, absolutely, maybe even value it more than you did in this video. Otherwise, pretty spot on. Might want to shift everything down a bit, though. I think most tier lists look like a bell curve, which yours really does not.
healers are redundant since you should be getting stone of gaia first item on everyone. infinitel hp/mana. Ymir is defensive in this mode, he destroys divers and can defend titan like no one else. His wall closes the gap allowing you to run up or keeps them under tower. The reason people struggle is because they aren't building gaia to negate damage they take. They just take damage and than sit around waiting for med and jungle heals. Gaia will make you tankier than any defense item and it's not even close.
Hun Batz, Mulan, Morgan La Fey, Camazotz and Neith in A is just tragic...
Hun Batz is always top damage, and with the ult you give someone a penta for free. When you build Bluestone, Soul Eater, Heart Seeker and Crusher the enemy team just cries. Fun fact: I've seen a Hun Batz 3 quadra kill under tower once, lol.
Mulan and Morgan are just broken, period.
Have you ever played Camazotz in Assault? Do you not see how many pools there are, always?
Neith weaves are one shot opportunities and similar to Cama, they're all over the place. Plus her 2 with Soul Eater on the wave is just.. chefs' kiss
As a assault main, i really miss a ranked mode :(
Neith is S, she has amazing sustain and damage when built like an ability assassin. Just don't be super aggressive and she'll be able to out poke most mages.
Agreed.
Tier list Inflation really go crazy. It’s an irk of mine that people are so afraid to have stuff in lower tiers that they make like more and more tiers to put on top
Only tweak I would put as somebody who plays assault a ton is putting Cthulhu into S+. Major game changer when he ults, it deals damage to basically the entire team, continues to deal aoes and knockups, as well as heal your team in a pinch. His fear and mire attack are also great at peeling teams and keeping them at a distance. Not only that but I had a teammate who had never played Cthulhu before easily carry the rest of the team just because he's that broken in assault. I believe another contributor to the tier ranking is just how easy the playstyle of the god you're using is. Some high ranked gods are amazing but if you've never played them before then you wouldn't be as successful which should be put into account in ranking them.
Cu Chulainn should be higher as well. With items like Stone of Gaia + his passive rage management is super easy. You literally just bait the other team to slap you up. It’s so effective if you pop off enough they will start to try and ignore you, which also isn’t going to work unless they can wipe your entire team and save you for last. Much easier said than done.
Agree, I would take cthullu over any guardian any day
Thank you so much for this video! I'm an assault main and it's nice to see some great content on that mode :)
Favorite game mode!! Thank you for the video!! Ah Puch definitely broken in assault mode. I have managed to carry games as Arachne tho, but they tend to be long matches and the team has to be on point. Otherwise she’s a rough pick in here for sure
I would have put horus lower as he gets shut down by cripples and because my teammates usually just run away from me so I can't heal them. Maybe it's cuz I'm a newer player so I get put with shitters.
How would you place teleport glyphs? (Asking because of the gremlin strats)
Love all your vids long time fan nd play a ton of assualt so this is really cool to see keep up the awesome vids and would Def like to see updated versions of this 😀
Cool video mah dude! Keep it going!
I played 3 games of assault while watching this. Great video!
I love assault. But... 58:16, i sincerely disagree with Zeus being the most broken god in assault, in the most non-troll way possible. So, if you made this video before he had his non-conquest nerfs, absolutely im in the wrong. But, with his non-conquest changes i think he's safer to lane against. It's not the end all be all.
Don't get me wrong, he's definitely S+, but not broken. You have a Sobek or any sort of pressure support to hold zeus down and he just doesn't have fun anymore. You have to make it your mission to make sure Zeus doesn't have fun in your game, otherwise your entire team won't have any fun. The second he comes into lane, just kill him with a good support+follow up. I would even go as far as to say Ah Puch isn't as broken as he once was. (He's definitely higher than Zeus, but he's not *as broken* as he once was.)
With the non-conquest changes we've been receiving, Assault is honestly ready for a Ranked mode. I thought this once we had balanced healers. Yemoja can't lane against Horus anymore, thank goodness, and it's only gotten better.
assault is one of my favorite modes to play to learn more characters! thanks 4 the tierlist, inter! :)
Hel also has the cleanse which can negate a lot of the other S+ Gods
Any tank or brusier lacking sustain, consider mail of renewal. %15 health heal for you and over time on nearby allies when it procs. Extra heals can't be understated
Don't be afraid to use lower tiers to get a better spread. C is usually considered average. D below average. F is failing.
I've become addicted to playing AA assassins in assault. I just build benevolence stone of Gaia to start, then either go full damage or AA tank pending the team's needs. AA guardians are another guilty pleasure i enjoy in Assault
King Arthur slaps in assault after 3 items
Susano underrated; he’s pretty much a support with his cc
Hi! I play A LOT of Assault, and I agree a lot with you, but... I would put Ra and Terra down one tier. Their healing is great, but it depends on the other players getting there, as opposed to the other healers. So not as efficient as the others. I would move up Artemis by one rank, the traps are more useful than you may think, they are often hard to see in a teamfight. Eset should move up also, the stun is just almost an instant kill in a team fight. And I would move up Thanatos by one rank too. Movement speed is important in this game mode, and getting in the fight faster, I think no one else can do it better than Thanatos (except maybe Athena). Otherwise, another great video from you!
arachne isn't really that bad in assault, just build her bruiser (bellona build) and you can kill a lot of backliners for free, plus the fact that merc is higher then clio is insane
Preaching to the wrong man here brother. Inter has a hatred for arachne that i will never understand (we all have gods we hate due to personal bias) but saying arachne doesn’t work tanky shows how little he plays her
@@z0n3h34rt she doesn't work tanky she has no movement besides her ult
@@Repetoire she still works tho, if you can successfully 3 a squishy and run them down with cc that can be huge setup for your team
I generally agree with your analysis (assault is about poke, sustain and setup) but there is some flaws in what you value, remember in 5v5 enclosed lane its very difficult for long channeled abilities to finish casting, melee characters are always are at a disadvantage and only certain cc's are valuable bc good characters have built in cc and knockup immunity's so... btw i did my own tierlist, this is where i differed in opinion
Ama should be up in S+ tier, the 1 aura you arent valuing enough as a engage/disengage tool, its singlehandily saved teams on the run after losing a fight.
artio with her long channeled 3 and close range 1 and 2 should be down a tier
Aphro is down in D, its simple, despite all you can do its incredibly hard to match the healing of a Hel or yemoja, i dont care what aggro says about healing output, those 2 gods can heal the whole team with 1 ability while aphro only heals 1 person per cast. you are always at a disadvantage. they both have more tools for their team and more healing, aphro is D until shes out of T1, aphro v aphro she is C bc the game boils down to poke and who can kill the other teams aphro first, the aphro isnt the showrunner, kiss needs dmg if she were to actually be S tier
bell should be down 2 tiers, low cc, ult is the only hard cc and immunity
bastet should be up a tier, she was a top 12 ban in IA before 9.5, which has nerfed her but she is still really strong, the 3 has an incredible skill ceiling
this is just my opinion but chronos is S+ because u can build him so many ways tank and dmg, top 5 most versatile gods good cc, poke, sustain and a cc immunity
Cthlulu is broken, if the enemy team does not have a hunter its a free win, its so hard to play around the ult as mage, u cant cc so u cant combo and u cant run either...
art is in S, the kit just does dmg, the ult pretty much always clips the entire enemy team, if ur gonna have s+ and broken art is an S, ability cd, crit, AS qins, lots of ways to build her
fen is down in C, it is incredibly hard for the doggo to perform at high level when he cant gank from a flank, your blink ult is telegraphed, people generally have beads, for every 5 fenrirs i play 1 is doing things, the other 4 just feed, with as many gods as there are and hopefully competent teammates you should look for another god, dont overvalue a kit that is entirely melee range, hes got the same problems as baka and arachne, u need to facecheck a team to land ur dmg
hachi is in S+ bc his passive, unlimited mana opens up his buildpath so much, qins with crit etc, cc immune ult
hades is in C, he is a melee range mage, he cant get the tankyness per dmg of warlocks bc no stacking, its the same problem as fen, u have to facecheck a whole team to press ur buttons
heim is in s+, cc and knockup immunity, aoe autos, great brawlers applyer, passive is always full stack. u got cherno charb right but u undervalue heim?
medusa is s+, shes got burst and poke built in plus a great team fighting ult that provides CC immunity, u forgot the 2 also does anti heal, easily a top 3 hunter behind amc and xbal
merc is in s, hes got poke in the 1, AS AND MS stim WITH slow immunity in the 2(that decrease cd as u lvl), a cripple root that throws where ever the merc wants an enemy while ur knockup immune at all times, and a cc immune ult that is also good setup and secure. oh and thats before you build him as a tank, seriously this is actually one of the most slept on tanks in the game especially in assault. another incredibly versatile god
MLF is in S+, 1 and 3 are great poke(Aoe fear/slow?), CC immune ult that heals, seriously this is a criminal undervalue
NZ is broken, ring toss alone puts him in S+, then u add in the sustain from the 2 that is an AS stim, the 3 an unDR'd stun and the ult which is just a better khumba ult, incredibly versatile kit and build options, if MLF undervalueing is criminal this is felonious
nu wa is in A, the god is incredibly easy to isolate and pick off, and her minions give stacks to bene and war flag/banner, there are much more dominant mages that can impose their will, nu wa does not dominate lobby's its a gimmick at best, the 1 creates more for the teammates than the rest of the kit does for 80% of the game, 1 bene counters her no cap.
perse is in broken, u can shell teams with flowers and warrior's axe, a good perse wins every game her team doesnt throw, bc for some reason every time u die to get full build with 8k gold, is when the team decides to fight a 4v5 without you...
raijin is in B, he was underperforming before 9.5 and he has only done worse since then, he just doesnt do dmg, even full build u just dont do enough dmg, the cc is incredibly double edged at all points in the game, escape is easily countered
serqet is in C, another fenrir dilemma, to use your buttons you need to facecheck 5 gods, that doesnt go well, the 2 range is so short to consistently peel for your team, the ult barely saves this god and its still an incredibly double edge channeling even full tank
set is in A, his poke is slept on even in a hybrid roll, full dmg its actually crazy how he can burst a whole team late game with just a double 2 and 1 combo, the problem is hirez set bot plays set better than 80% of the player base, legit, if u wanna learn set the hirez bot does the kit justice
if eset and artio dont count as healers, why does shiva? is it fair that the shiva has to ult to heal his teammates when its just another normal cd for cupid, olorun, baron
skadi is S if u lvl the 3 first and B if u lvl the 1 first, crazy how much skill floor changes with lvl order, idky people lvl a line skillshot that puts u at risk and only provides a slow when u can lvl an aoe hard cc that persists AND gives MS first that gets bigger and therefore easier to hit, and easier to hit more targets with first...smh
Tsuk is in S+ and should get a broken honorable mention bc he can poke tower from outside the towerline, that and a kit that makes it nearly impossible to fight into him, he can be a tank, hyrbid or carry, built a bunch a different ways and still does dmg.
Ullr is down in A, he is not a versatile god, its not easy to build AS on him, its primarily a phys mage style kit that does well into squishes and poorly into tanks, u can go hyrbid but ullr's assault is weak, needs another AS based character to burn tanks
Vman is in S+, Sov is the best item in assault and no one gets more from sov than vman, his 2 is really good poke, he has a knockup, can build ability burst or AS, and anytime u force an enemy to build ankh over a beads, med blink thats a win
Xbal is in S+, the second best hunter and brawlers applier in the game behind amc, its hard to understand but flat pen is his best stat, u dont need cd, u just want the 1 bolos and 2 to apply brawlers and crusher(2 only), u have a cc immunity on a normal ability that has insane poke, and turning off the lights is a great teamfight tool
Zeus is not broken, honestly i think he barely makes A, no hard CC, very gankable like nu wa with no immunities, and the 9.5 changes + his non conquest nerfs mean he just doesnt do the pre9.5 destruction we all associate him with, he is not worth a ban in IA. you could put him in S and i wouldnt complain but he is definitely not broken
cmon ZK is S+, he's got a heal, stun, slow, knockup immunity, is super versatile in build paths, AS, Bruiser, Full tank, Full dmg.
Overall this was a great list, I'm sorry if my words offended you or were toxic, ive played over 2000 assault/IA matches and are the only things i queue regularly, i dont think you take into account some of the non-conquest buff/nerfs applied to the godpool. set and zeus seem like 2 of the most glaring examples of post 9.5 heavy adjustment not recognized. also nu wa is bad.
Ayy this is great! Ive been thinking of putting one out, we have a different view haha
Everyone: Gets med cloak and plays super passive
Me: Gets blink because mama didn't raise no bitch
Disagree with this. Thoth is the absolute destroyer , so he should be in the same lane with ah puch and zeus, AMC should be there too cause a skilled player will make you suffer every fight. Aphro should be in A tier , cause her healing is for 1 target so in fights cant help too much . This tierlist is good for beginners but for assault mains it's a bit weird . For example morgana is an absolute menace for the enemy team cause killing her with a melee is a real challenge
ASSAULT CONTENT YEEESSS
I swear i’d rather play Arachne than Jing Wei on assault
Hachiman is amazing in Assault
You should make a new version with a list in the description! Just got into smite and I’m trying to learn the gods and how to build them!
Hel also has a fairly big AoE CC cleanse+immunity great for countering all the CC teamfight ults
i might be biased because arachne is one of my mains, but arent you underestimating her a bit? sho got really good selfheal and antiheal built in her kit and has great control over the jungle area thanks to her nets. I usually had great games with her, even before the 10.9 buff.
I main assault (61% of my games are assault matches with 1500 assault games) and I disagree with a few gods on your tier list. I feel like you're not fully considering the build-style that is unique to Assault that makes certain gods way worse than you'd think. Example: Aphro is B Tier in assault, yes her heals are good but they're single person heals and everyone builds divine ruin and maybe Ankh just to F you over. I also feel like Ne Zha and Camatotz should be in S+. Ne Zha with soul eater in assault is DISTUGSTING (i have a 71% win rate with him in assault) and Cama passive will have you just full healing in the middle of the map for free.
Great video, great fun list. I love these concepts. But I gotta disagree with you on some things. Thinking Ao is decent in Assault because of his execute is cope imo, he literally does nothing else.. Putting Agni in the same tier as AO is a crime, Agni deserves to be higher. Ik Assassins are seen as terrible in Assault (most are) But I do feel like you slightly undervalue Set, Susano & Pele.. Stick a Souleater 1st item, build into burst damage & frag the backline in teamfights.
You have to build the assassins somewhat tanky in assault, that goes doubly true for an execute ult bot.
Yeah agreed, I mean I say this as a man who loves playing Ao in assault and can often frag with him, he's trash in assault lol. You have to be so careful and picky with when you go in especially if you build him normally and don't go tanky. You are relying on your opponents not getting beads. You are relying on your team having decent aoe or poke so they can get some people injured before you go in. You are relying on them not having a ton of cc to peel you off. You are relying on your team having a decent beads/magis burner. I could go on. Ao can be amazing if you get the right comp but he's *extremely* situational.
Ares 2 also gives ur whole team sustain as well
I played assault more than any other mode
Ahprodite is a c she actually sucks early game with her healing, she doesn't do damage and her healing is single target
Her healing has never been single target. It heals all allies in range. It's basically "single target" in solo queue but if timed right it's a team heal
@Dion Jones I've never seen or healed more then one person with aphrodite
@@dionjones6300 it only heals her and whoever she is linked to, she's actually only a very average healer, the thing that bumps her up and the reason people think she's op is solely because of the beads/aegis effect on her ult, outside of her ult she's very average imo
Agreed 100%, she's actually not even that good compared to some of the other healers.
@@xxjayxx517 I'd rather just have a mage that doesn't heal than aphro most of the time
Most people in the game play arena and nobody talks about it.
I was an Athena main, but Atlas is just so much better. A smoother kit, better ultimate, and is the only supportive guardian that can play while the enemy is hiding in their tower :)
Both are my favs... should try aggressive conquest build with athena. Manakins poly spirit robe pridwin.... back>ult low cooldown and she doesn't need the defence + hidden blade later too
For some of the achievements it’s faster to queue assualt and prey for the right character since no one buys beads at the start. Literally spent 5 hours trying to get the ares achievement for a 5 man pull and got it against a composition with no cc immunity who didn’t go beads lol
The question isn't how good you are in the teamfight, but how utterly obnoxious you can be. I wish Ah Puch wasn't crippled in every other mode because of how much he nukes here.
Animosity tank bakasura C tier. Cause have animosity and his true damage AA to do slight dmg
This is basically the Smite deifnitive Assault tier list.... IF you build beads lmfao. The amount of times you mention beads was kinda crazy.
You should be building beads after med.
I agree tha rat is A, whenver I get him I start lono + thebes and buy the green acorn out in the lane. Not great damage, but good kill secure and sustain.
IMO chaac should be in the broken tier as he has unmissable poke that does ridiculous damage with an early glad shield and ridiculous sustain. All he needs is a heartward and he never runs out of mana.
Yesss please make it a thing! I love this video and a lot of things make more sense right now 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺
I think Chernobogs ult is Not to Bad. It is still a cooldown reset and team slow.
You said assault is about having great poke but then proceed to put set in D tier ??
Pele is lowkey broken ngl. Good poke and insane mobility, plus a potential team knock up. Went like 30 and 3 with pele on my first assault game, even got a penta kill. They had a rat and like 10 star ah puch, which were hell.
Big up Assault
assault main
Anubis S is crazy I think his kit is sounds perfect for assault but he just gets destroyed when he presses 4. And anti heal so prevalent even without an Anubis. Idk I think ge feels terrible. Maybe unpopular opinion but he’s ass imo. And no pole
Poke
Hel should be in broken tier
Well this is definetely a tierlist. Would i agree with you, absolutely not but i enjoyed the reasoning and thoughts.
my brother beat the 5 bot sylvanus challenge first try.... im so tilted
Set is amazing in assault my brother, not sure why hes bottom 3
He's the worst performing god in assault and has been pretty much since his release, in the right hands he's a total beast but 99% of players cant play him well in assault
@@Fenriir yea because no one knows how to play him correctly...he has insane poke and dive potential. All I do is 2 +1 combo constsntly while the enemy is under tower trying to clear the minion wave
@@shannysalcedo3627 don't get me wrong I know what you mean, I do the same and I do pretty well with set in assault but statistically he is the worst performing god in assault and most people don't play him well there, it also doesn't help him on assault that he has a pretty high skill cap too
I hate assault, but when you get the on trick low tier gods in the game. Kinda makes me want to learn the god ngl.
as an assault main with well over 2000 games played, i think you definitely got a few things wrong
So amc is definitely in broken tier, his poke is unrivaled, and you build him mostly ability, hes easily the strongest physical god for assault. Easiest brawlers proc, its basically on them permanently, and you start with soul eater bluestone, you basically wont die until you decide you want to. Hes next level insane.
Anhur is NOT S tier by any means. Standard basic attack hunters dont do super well in assault compared to ability ones, and anhur is no exception. You can poke ok, but the problem is that tower camping happens a LOT in assault, and youre not going to be landing too many autos either from tower or into tower, so your damage is kinda limited. The only thing keeping him from total irrelevancy is his ult being kinda nutty in a teamfight, so id say hes probably low A, maybe top of B, on that sort of border there.
Aphro i honestly put in C tier. The problem isnt that aphro is bad, but its the fact they put her in the highest healer tier, but she generally sucks at healing. The problem is, she can only heal herself and one teammate at a time, so healing your team is incredibly slow, and since the other team also gets a random healer from her same tier, if they get anything that isnt another aphro, youre screwed. You CANNOT outheal them, and the enemy team will always be healthier overall than yours. If she was bumped down a tier id say yeah, S tier, but with her in the highest healer tier you generally do NOT want to see an aphro on your team during rerolls
Id put baka in C not D, mostly because he can at least ult and shred with it, its at least a niche thats decent in team fights. But for the most part you NEED ult to be useful. Also decent when tanks are diving to kill your low health gods, since true damage.
Bastet is easy high B tier, shes the best cleanup god, being able to safely finish low health people is invaluable. Also built in ability lifesteal plus soul eater means youre a pseudotank, can generally heal through a lot. The ult is amazing, you hit it its a free kill, plus the cat is obnoxious. You gotta trust the bastet main on this one, shes actually pretty good for assault, not the best but a solid pick.
Edit: you did right by her in the end, glad to see it.
Cabra is mid to low B tier. No mobility, gotta be in their face, and when tower camping is so prevalent, cabra does literally nothing there, and its even hard for him to dive unlike guardians like bacchus or athena, its harder to react to them than it is cabra. The only thing keeping him from C is the ult, but thats still not the most helpful thing tbh, its so easy to break, but it at least lets him dump his kit.
Cupid S not S+, his healing and his ult are nice, but same as anhur, basic attacks arent the most reliable thing in assault, and cupid ONLY has basic attacks and an ability thats the same range as them, so his poke isnt that good, but his healing and teamfighting are great
Erlang id put down in b, maybe even c. Hes not very tanky overall and its hard for him to do much, all melee basic attack focused gods generally suffer in assault, and he is no exception, especially losing the knockup hurt him significantly.
Fafnir is A, hes ok but he rarely does anything. Terrible aoe, and without dragon he does practically nothing, and even with dragon you really need your team immediately ready to follow up, which rarely happens, and if hes youre only tank, the enemy team is probably gunna collapse on your squishies while you target one of theirs, so in the end its not worth. Only good if you have at least one other tank on your team.
Honestly he bo is in C tier. You almost never get to use your 1 or ult because its a permanent team fight, and unless youve gotten at least 2 kills and the others are low, youre just gunna be blown up for getting that close. The only thing thats decent for he bo is how long ranged his 3 is, but like all of his hitboxes, almost no aoe. Very small hitboxes, and in teamfights, thats a problem. He has more in common with assassins than mages, and thats kinda a problem in assault.
Hel goes in broken tier, the single best healer there is, if your teams gets hel and the enemy team doesnt, you just win 95% of the time. The healing is entirely unmatched, and she can do pretty insane damage too.
Lancelot is C, but moving cleo to c is a mistake, she has pretty decent poke, can cleanup fairly well, and will very much snowball in teamfights
Medusa is s, ability hunter food for assault, simple as that
Merc is c, you can get a crit one here and there but mostly useless until super late game, and even then just ok.
Nem is in D with arachne, basic attack melee with almost no redeeming qualities for assault, ive never in my 2000 games of assault EVER seen a nemesis go positive.
Serqet D, never seen a serqet do anything worthwhile in assault
Amc's tics might as well be an Aoe ability. With bluestone, the crusher and heartseeker his tics go for days
id say nem can be ok with a hybrid tank ability based build but its very weird to play and really janky
@@lassehoffmann625 she can, but its not gunna be very effective. Youre basically taking a god awful useless god who feeds, and turning them into a rock that does nothing but at least doesnt feed as much. Youre still not going to contribute much to the team, but at least you arent worse than nothing at all.
@@pyromaniac000000 yeah as i said its not great but its more like c then d
@@lassehoffmann625 i wouldnt give her that. Forcing your team to essentially fight 4v5 all game because your god is mostly useless, easy D tier. C tier is for god that on one or two occasions they MIGHT contribute something. Nem just doesnt.
Ranked assault would be so cool.
5 bans each, can see each other's god, can pick your own god.
Might even be able to bring in a proper tier list, so each team will have an equal balanced team; excluding rerolling. They already do this with healers, so why not all the gods
That sounds horrible
@@dainbramage3558 well I'd be down of ranked assault or ranked slash for season 10
Bacchus is definitely S or S+. Such a good bully in Assault
30 mins in and I’m only sad about one god so far so props for that. But putting Cu Chulainn in A tier is a travesty…
Arachne in D..... Lol. Casual. This isn't conquest, you build her tanky with AA axe upgrade and she's unstoppable and safe. Cliodna is at least S. She can ult waves to full heal and defend towers while alone. She counters any tower dives. Nem is one of the best at cleaning up low hp targets, again you build her tanky. Xbal full tank is S+, I always go 15+ and 1 or 2.
Putting rat above any of these gods is comical. I disagree with this entire list.
In my opinion amc is op as well start blue stone with brawlers they won’t heal at all with bees bro and through out the game they can’t catch you lol I’ve gone like 20-3 with amc
To be frank, most if not all hunters are S, and ability based hunters are easily S+.
Other than ama this list is pretty good
You don't know ball
Arachne is deff A tier. She has insane single target damage; gank with her.

i play assasult since release, its my main play mode, i could not watch this till the end, it was so wrong :/
please do arena tier list!
Nobody plays arena seriously
@@axios525 he should make it as a joke tier list
@@christianmabrey8905 fair enough
@@axios525 Really? I suppose you have evidence I can verify that support your assertion. I only found one list from a HiRez employee ⬇️. Arena appears to be the most popular mode.
So we finally got an asnwer for this question. This is part of HiRezStew article about MM.
Quoting Stew : "Conquest is actually the 3rd most popular mode in the game (Arena and Joust 3v3 are both more popular), and, of course, only a sliver of the Conquest population plays ranked. All of this does make the match-making problem challenging."
So guys as you can see Duel and Siege are dead modes as I was always saying and they should be removed.
If you are lazy to check the picture :
1. Arena
2. Joust 3v3
3. Conquest
4. Assault
5. Clash
6. Ranked Conquest
7. Current Adventures
8. MOTD
9. Ranked Joust
10. Siege
11. Joust Challenge? wtf is that lol
12. Duel
@@ericdunthorne1981 1. They've already been removed. 2. Popularity doesn't correlate to seriousness. People use arena when they're burned out and want to play braindead or master gods. Statistics can be skewed by new players who like to play arena. It's the shallowest game mode
If you're EU and play Assault drop a comment here and we can play together😄
Inter please please do a joust tier list
Surtr is crying in his lava pit
Dang, tank Set didn't even get considered, lol. Big sadge.

Literally only 2 assassins in S or higher, rip
