Love that you made a video on my main role! Great tips bro, as always. I see a lot of people arguing against the poke potential a warrior gives versus the 100 to 0 the want. The poke, cc, and disruption a warrior offers could be what turns a fight for your mage or assassin or hunter to get the last big chunk of health. The best example is Wu Kong. His damage falls of hard but the tickle stick poke, with the slow and then either the knock up or tiger stun frustrates a back line to no end and the ability to escape and heal with a copy just harassing them gives peel for your guardian to cc the rest of the team. Even just being able to isolate a mage in the back and kill them is huge. Kills arent your goal as a warrior. Disrupting the enemy is.
"Why am I dying so much? And I can't kill anyone!! T_T *cries in spanish*" - If this sounds like you after your warriors game, then you're at the right place. AHAHAHA FUCKING EPIC
the way you describe the mindset of how to play a warrior is golden. I used to play warriors like an assassin but would get angry because I never did enough damage and died too fast but your jack of all trades reference was spot on. This is a great series man. After doing the God classes you should do conquest roles! Very good video man keep up the great work!
Honestly this video really did help me realize that I was building my warriors a bit bad. Sometimes I could get away with stacking attack on attack on attack with some games, but I usually always did end up blowing up for it. I had a game earlier where I put on about 3 or 4 defense items as tyr and I ended up surviving so long that I out tanked the Ares on both teams. This video helped really put that in perspective for me. My best game WAS the defense stack one, not the all attack all the time games. Thanks raynday!
This video really helped me alot. I main hunter, so switching to the Warrior role has been rough. However after watching your video and really listening; I played 2 Warrior matches and just shredded. Odin I went 12/2/22 and a Guan Yu I went 12/6/26 with a Quadra. I always had the problem of I wanna wreck and not timing my fights. Choosing the wrong targets or over extending. I just want to sincerely thank you on your videos. They are very helpful, for new people or even for those of ys who have been playing for awhile.
I think I really learned a lot from this video. Warriors have typically been one of my worst roles, though I can never seem to position myself right as an assassin, assassin being my worst role. I've always thought that the role of the warrior was that which essentially led the charge, fighting at the front against the rest of the heavy hitter tanky characters, fending them off of the squishies so that the true damage source has time to come out. I never really thought that focusing on a squishy was a warrior's place, but it makes a lot of sense.
I just wanted to say thank you Raynday, your videos have helped me alot. When I first started a year ago I had no idea what I was doing all I was able to do was feed the enemy team but your videos have made a huge difference for me, I still have a large amount of improving to do but I can actually play and do decently well thanks to everything I've learned from watching you.
I always enjoyed the gameplay of guardians and warriors, but warriors were not my strong point, I always fought to put together a build during the matches (need more pen? Maybe CDR is better... or one more defensive item?); with this my warrior games were inconstant. And this video has changed it, made me realize some points that had never crossed my mind, it has expanded my vision of what warriors are and helped me understand the mentality of the role. And yeah, you got me thinking in how to expand that knoledge to my life as well so... Thank you Raynday, this video series is simply amazing, in fact the entire channel is great!
Dude, I could kiss your freaking brain. I love how when you talk about the roles in smite you're focusing on the mentality one should keep while playing. I love that! I feel, more often than not, that most players I play with in solo hold this type of mentality of wanting to be a hyper carry right out the gate. It just doesn't happen like that. You have understand the roles that each God can play in; as well as have an understanding of the kit of said god. Keep up the great work Rayne. "Learn, Play, Fun, makes this game number one." DataTap-a
I have to say thank you for this video. I was going about playing warriors completely wrong. I was just kind of assuming their role was more of a melee version of a carry so it was a bit frustrating charging in and feeling like I wasn't helping my team because I kept missing out on kills and dying. Next time I play as one I'll definitely keep these tips in mind.
That Bruce Lee quote reminds me of a similar quote from a show called Cowboy Bebop "You’re tense, I’m calm. You apply excessive force and I control that force through fluid motion. That means relaxing the whole body so it can react instantly without resistance-no, without thought. Do you see now? It means becoming like clear water. Water can take any form. It drifts without effort one moment, then pounds down in a torrent the very next."
I really like the metaphors and images you use, as well as the humour in this video, it makes the whole thing flow better, and it's easier to understand aswell, props to you !
Thanks for the tips, really helpful. I always play warriors too aggressive and get destroyed, so that's why i don't like playing them anymore. I have to stop being rigid and be water!
Always love your philosophical talk man! as for the tips I completely agree and theoretically know these things. sometimes I just struggle to apply them in game. this is why I love these top 5's. I end up having a few phrases in my head that I can conjure up mid game to make sure I am doing the right thing, and if not adjust. the CDR is offense is definitely my favorite. when i made that realization I became so much more effective and enjoyed playing warriors so much more. I rarely get jotunns anymore and find it works perfect for the more supportive warriors I tend to play.
Hardest part for me at first was realizing that unlike mages and hunters, one set build wouldn't work for all warriors. Now I usually put on two shields, warriors tabi, jotuns wrath, and two situational(depending on the warrior.)
good tip on building sustain and cdr! i love playing warriors, but recently started playing Odin like that and my success rate went through the roof. I'd still live to see a "how to Osiris" vid! I love his concept, but don't seem to have much luck playing him
Great video Raynday. Warriors are my second most played class after guardians. I like tanky gods I guess. Though I also enjoy playing certian assassins as a brawler such as Bastet with warrior tabi, jotun's wraith, shifter's shield, runic or void shield, spirit robe, titan's bane. Less tanky than normal warriors but more damage, but same general goals. I pounce the over the front line, apply bleeds, slows, and lots of damage (especially with cats) to the squishies, then jump right back to safety. You have just enough tankiness to jump in, wreck havok on squishies, and then jump back.
+Raynday Gaming rayn you say more cooldown and defense= damage does that mean i need to build defense items with cooldown and get 40% cooldown or like just 1 cooldown item and defense?
+Raynday Gaming rayn you say more cooldown and defense= damage does that mean i need to build defense items with cooldown and get 40% cooldown or like just 1 cooldown item and defense?
Damn I couldn't have explained this any better myself. I'm also proud of the Guan Yu gameplay in the background! I thought you weren't such a fan of him but nice plays man!
As someone who has been playing Smite for over 2 years, it's sad how I've come to expect the warriors on my team to build full damage and go 0-17. This video should seriously be a part of the Smite tutorial section. Amazing job explaining everything, and hopefully people will come across this video when they search for tutorials!
Nice to know I've been on the right path when playing warriors. Chaac is probably my favorite God to play as (just feels right to me) and warriors in general seem to hit that sweet spot for me. Great job on this Top 5, looking forward to the next! Maybe hunters?
Thank you so much for this video. I play SMITE, and I thought I was doing well when I was playing against AIs as Amaterasu. When I played against players, boy, my first game, because of me (yeaaahh), we lost and one of the players just went off their mouths on a PM, saying how much I sucked and stuff. Aside from that I got assigned in the Jungle (worst ever). Boy I was super wrong... Kept building up on items that give me power, didn't balance out on the defence so much (phys. and magic). And I stayed in the JUNGLE. I was a freaking idiot. Thanks a lot for this list. I'll follow your tips, it's pretty useful. :)
Thanks Raynday!! I've been maining support but I want to be able to do warriors as well so this is perfect for me. This series is the one that made me stumble on to you
Love your top 5 videos my man. Smite has become my game to play more than any other and your videos are fun to watch and presented in such a way that make them not only helpful but also thoughtful as well. You present yourself as someone who wants to see others grow and do better in Smite, and it is is awesome. So thanks for the vids man, keep em coming brother.
+MrTexaspreacher really appreciate this my man. I sincerely am grateful for the sentiment and I'll keep on keeping on of course! I'm excited to have you invested in the smite community since it's a great game and thrives off of its great people, like YOU now!
Thanks for making this video, Evan. I wish that I had watched it sooner. I am still relatively new to the game and had definitely perceived the role of a Warrior incorrectly, so this was really helpful. Your channel is the best.
THANK you Raynday ! I was wating for this video so much , I logged to youtube every 3 hours every day not to miss it :D . On the spot advices , great summary of examples and your positive character makes my day so much brither and productive . Wish you best and stay safe my friend .
Another great vid man, Warrior is surprisingly one of my stronger classes. I may only be a master 4 with one warrior but my experience with Tyr has been satisfying, usually running a mix of cooldown, a few defence items and physical power/penetration seems to help me out 90% of the time. Looking forwards to the mage video as I struggle with them the most haha
I will take this advice to every Smite match I play from now on. So glad I came across this video. I don't comment much but I understood everything you said. Thank you.
Raynday, you guys should show us how the items work and how to memorize them. There are so many and because we have set builds that we don't have to worry about buying with the auto-buy active we could really use the help! Thanks!
This video was excellent! Really opened my eyes to everything i was doing wrong as a warrior. I picked up Guan Yu and my team has been blown away at the skill increase
Hercules tip from your vid: once you use your 2 and pluck the enemy up, continue walking forward to then use your 1 (driving strike) to push them towards friendlies or out of the tower :)
my best advice for most warriors learn how to blend attack and defense. Shifter Shield is great for this as is one main magic and physical defense bonus so Bulwark of Hope and Breastplate of Valor then something like a Titans Bain or Void Shield with a all around Utility item for offense works perfect. Play conservative and smart play sorta like an Assassin who finds Assassins and Hunter and Mages at their weakest and destroy them. Play from a position of power and you will be amazing. Don't push as hard as most Guardians can or jump foolish like a Assassin does and this will improve your performance. Be selective who you will target and play get in get out and destroy the stragglers.
I was actually just searching your channel for a 'Top 5 Ways to be a Better Mage' as I was watching this video. I laughed when I reached the end and realized it wasn't up yet. XD I really look forward to listening to that one when it pops up mang, I'll be watching my feeds. :> Thanks for all your hard work and videos. (I play a mean Kuku at 16 but I need to get better for when I hit 30 :s)
Highly informative and helpful. But I'd add as a note, just because he encourages building tanky doesn't mean one should forgo damage items entirely as a warrior. At the very least, a Jotun's Wrath is a warrior's best friend. it gives all the basic offensive stats a warrior needs plus that all important cdr and mana. Even if it's your only offensive item, it's almost always worth building on a warrior. My 2 cents as a guy who loves his warriors c:
Thanks for replying...Nowadays RUclipsr's say they see our comment but no one replies. It makes me feel like they don't give a damn.I commented and you replied so I will start commenting more often so thank you I appreciate it..
Please make a sun wukong guide/tip video. I want to main him so bad but hes changed so much lately. no other videos are helping and you're the only one who's gotten through to me about anything warrior related.
Fantastic content man! I'd been waiting for this and it was well worth it. I'm surprised I hadn't come to some of these on my own but I'm glad you brought these to my attention. Love how helpful this video was and had quite a few great laughs too. Thanks for the work you put in to your content man!
As a heroic fantasy as well as an anime fan, I understand the appeal of epic mage v mage or warrior v warrior duels, but in a team based video game "equal" fights aren't the wisest choice. In a larger scale game like Battlefield, perhaps. Snipers can counter-snipe, tanks can counter-tank and the rest of the team can manage. But in smaller scale MOBA and the likes you want to be even more strategic and hit at the weak points. Good guide.
thx man you really teached me something when you said" isnt it anoying when someone heals3 times in a fight and he does never die?" that got me thinking in another way, thx
I feel penetration is also very important for warriors along side what you said because they usually have okay base dmg and bad power scaling. Penetration is important to make sure that god can do the dmg that they were meant to.
I think you've covered all the roles that I do fine in, thanks for giving great tips on them. Love this series. Earnest request tho, can you do ADC next? That has to be my hands down worst role and I'm just not used to it after playing with a supp/jung/solo mentality. Keep it up, awesome work!
"Be Like the Water" Reminds me of the End scene from the movie "Devil" where the Main Protagonist asks "Who are you?" and the Devil says "Today, I'm an old Woman.."
Great vid, very well explained! Be great in future vids to also see you dive into the different roles that exist in the classes of smite and a generalised discussion on good team comps.
I actually like playing as warrior as I like being the jack of all trades but recently lost my game... After watching this, I think I'm back for more warrior games :)
You're videos are amazing, for the gaming content but even more for the life lessons and advice you share. I am very glad to have found your channel when I did.
Trying to get better with ravana after buying him i just got a cool skin with him thank you so much for your help especially with knowing team comps i like playing him in warrior role but i can't play him all the time having engage pressure is essential like guan yu.
I'd think it would be cool to see a video about the different items in smite and what items would be good to consider for each class, especially since i have trouble figuring out what item to buy, i do love playing warrior, especially bellona
I usually make the mistake to take advantage of my snow ball on early gods building damage but eventually it catches up to you and you are gonna need to buy defense regardless. This from a conquest prespective that goes over 20-25 minutes.
Good stuff bro, I would like to correct you on one thing though. The water quote, while it may be used in Jeet Kune Do you should know it was originally from Wing Chun. I highly suggest you check out the (y)ip man movies, the Wing Chun grandmaster that taught Bruce Lee.
It's the first video i see from Raynday Gaming but i think you are freaking awessome i play smite for a long time and i know that i can be much better and this advices will help me reach that. Thanks +Raynday Gaming
Thank you SO much for this video BEEN WAITING FOREVER!! KEEP up the good work raynday! Your videos are amazing! PS you deserve 10000000 more subscribers than you get.
Yep.. describes me trying to play a warrior when I'm used to being mage/hunter/support.. but playing guardians, you'd think warrior would be easy to get the hang of. Thanks for the tips Rayn c: Good video as always.
Hey Raynday, new to the channel and just wanted to say awesome content man. Please do keep stuff like this coming its a massive help. I need help being a better hunter haha.
Hey man you are very helpful and honestly most of this stuff i do already and i am surprised that it only took me 2 days to figure it out. Then again I have experience with moba's but in any case your videos are very helpful and hopefully I can try other roles and be more proficient at them. Thanks a lot again.
Hey Raynday, what about the more niche roles? Like mage ADC with Freya/Chronos? Or Warrior Mage, like Hades/Chang'e? I used to be Warrior, and i still got it, like Nemesis/Thor? There are a lot of gods in other roles ("technically speaking") that can fill the role of a warrior, who are not in the warrior class. Especially the Mages and Assassins who have that potential. Have you ever played against a Chang'e with Rod of Asclepius, Pythagorem's Piece, Mail of Renewal, and Gauntlet of Thebes? She can't quite die, but she can consistently damage you and (literally) dance around you and your skill shots (try playing her full move speed, she gets bonus move speed and back pedal penalty removal during her abilities, and you can use her 1 ability to damage people AND physically dodge skill shots).
i just recently got that warrior mentality since i mained bakasura and played lots of other assassin or mages doing all that damage and starting to play warrior and doing no damage didn't seem at home but recently started play sun wu kong and going tanky and just messing with enemy with out them being able to do anythings is just so amusing.
As a warrior main,great video,I didnt learn much but hey,atleast ppl that watch this will not go bellona\osiris\odin\guan\vamana\herc full dmg and yell at me for not helping them.
I agree with most of this except number 5 I don't think every warrior needs it but most I agree do need it, and all I would add is build to counter the enemy team don't use one set build but that's a rule for all gods
came here for the warrior guide..left with life lessons
lol
So true,
Wait. So basically, to be a better warrior listen to "I'll make a man out of you" from Mulan, and be water, but also be a rock.
+Zed Eleric This was a joke this was an amazing video Raynday!
Even if it was a joke i think it would be a good idea,and even more if you're playing Guan Yu x)
I can see that being a parody with all the Chinese gods. hi red make it happen!?
When you learn more about how to live your life then playing a warrior. #Raynday The motivational speaker
You have to be rock if he is scissors, except you can be water than stick to that, because water can be anything
Love that you made a video on my main role! Great tips bro, as always. I see a lot of people arguing against the poke potential a warrior gives versus the 100 to 0 the want. The poke, cc, and disruption a warrior offers could be what turns a fight for your mage or assassin or hunter to get the last big chunk of health. The best example is Wu Kong.

Even just being able to isolate a mage in the back and kill them is huge. Kills arent your goal as a warrior. Disrupting the enemy is.
"You can't carry a game as a warrior," The things I've seen... The horror...
"You're in the fight, but not taking all the damage"
Hercules: "Hold my beer"
"Why am I dying so much? And I can't kill anyone!! T_T *cries in spanish*"
- If this sounds like you after your warriors game, then you're at the right place.
AHAHAHA FUCKING EPIC

Way to encourage Loki Main's, always lowest player damage
Why? *sadface*
Thanks raynday I play with everyone muted , I'm glad there's cool people like you that understand people are new help them don't hurt them
Dude, I could kiss your freaking brain. I love how when you talk about the roles in smite you're focusing on the mentality one should keep while playing. I love that!
I feel, more often than not, that most players I play with in solo hold this type of mentality of wanting to be a hyper carry right out the gate. It just doesn't happen like that. You have understand the roles that each God can play in; as well as have an understanding of the kit of said god. Keep up the great work Rayne.

Rayn! I wish I would have found your channel sooner. A breath a fresh air. Keep it up sir. I need to find an audiobook to buy!
Was not expecting that motivational speech at the end, but damn i feel inspired!
my best advice for most warriors learn how to blend attack and defense. Shifter Shield is great for this as is one main magic and physical defense bonus so Bulwark of Hope and Breastplate of Valor then something like a Titans Bain or Void Shield with a all around Utility item for offense works perfect. Play conservative and smart play sorta like an Assassin who finds Assassins and Hunter and Mages at their weakest and destroy them. Play from a position of power and you will be amazing. Don't push as hard as most Guardians can or jump foolish like a Assassin does and this will improve your performance. Be selective who you will target and play get in get out and destroy the stragglers.
This is what I needed. And explanation of what I have to do and not just run around having no idea what my role in all of this is.
I was actually just searching your channel for a 'Top 5 Ways to be a Better Mage' as I was watching this video. I laughed when I reached the end and realized it wasn't up yet. XD I really look forward to listening to that one when it pops up mang, I'll be watching my feeds. :> Thanks for all your hard work and videos.
(I play a mean Kuku at 16 but I need to get better for when I hit 30 :s)
Highly informative and helpful. But I'd add as a note, just because he encourages building tanky doesn't mean one should forgo damage items entirely as a warrior. At the very least, a Jotun's Wrath is a warrior's best friend. it gives all the basic offensive stats a warrior needs plus that all important cdr and mana. Even if it's your only offensive item, it's almost always worth building on a warrior. My 2 cents as a guy who loves his warriors c:
I like your content very much bro.... you give deep knowledge lol
I'm glad you think that man. Thank you!
Thanks for replying...Nowadays RUclipsr's say they see our comment but no one replies. It makes me feel like they don't give a damn.I commented and you replied so I will start commenting more often so thank you I appreciate it..
as always your vids are pure magic and awesomeness
Please make a sun wukong guide/tip video. I want to main him so bad but hes changed so much lately. no other videos are helping and you're the only one who's gotten through to me about anything warrior related.
Fantastic content man! I'd been waiting for this and it was well worth it. I'm surprised I hadn't come to some of these on my own but I'm glad you brought these to my attention. Love how helpful this video was and had quite a few great laughs too. Thanks for the work you put in to your content man!
As a heroic fantasy as well as an anime fan, I understand the appeal of epic mage v mage or warrior v warrior duels, but in a team based video game "equal" fights aren't the wisest choice. In a larger scale game like Battlefield, perhaps. Snipers can counter-snipe, tanks can counter-tank and the rest of the team can manage. But in smaller scale MOBA and the likes you want to be even more strategic and hit at the weak points. Good guide.
thx man you really teached me something when you said" isnt it anoying when someone heals3 times in a fight and he does never die?" that got me thinking in another way, thx
I feel penetration is also very important for warriors along side what you said because they usually have okay base dmg and bad power scaling. Penetration is important to make sure that god can do the dmg that they were meant to.
Search for this video yesterday morning and was sad to see you hadn't made one. Looks like I was too early! Thanks for the tips!
- I love so much that Bruce quote:
"Water can flow, or it can crash, be water my friend."
I think you've covered all the roles that I do fine in, thanks for giving great tips on them. Love this series.
Earnest request tho, can you do ADC next? That has to be my hands down worst role and I'm just not used to it after playing with a supp/jung/solo mentality.
Keep it up, awesome work!
Mages are next, but hunters will get some love as well, just wait!
great video, freckles! i'll remember this advice during my next warrior game.
+jazbby :) thanks Jazzy!!
+Raynday Gaming I agree in so many points. I just bult hp regeneration for my warriors because they just get so tanky
+Raynday Gaming can you make a conquest tips and tricks video?
+Hentai Senpai he doesn't really play conquest
"Be Like the Water" Reminds me of the End scene from the movie "Devil" where the Main Protagonist asks "Who are you?" and the Devil says "Today, I'm an old Woman.."
This channel really helped me when I started smite a few weeks ago. Thanks for the great videos!
Best ending to a video, out of all of the RUclips videos I've watch. Gj
picked up this game when it came out on consoles, I mostly play warriors, this was a great video with sound advice, thanks bro
My pleasure! Thanks for watching!
Great vid, very well explained! Be great in future vids to also see you dive into the different roles that exist in the classes of smite and a generalised discussion on good team comps.
I actually like playing as warrior as I like being the jack of all trades but recently lost my game... After watching this, I think I'm back for more warrior games :)
You're videos are amazing, for the gaming content but even more for the life lessons and advice you share. I am very glad to have found your channel when I did.
I love how you put so much philosophy and wisdom into your videos!
great video man. my problem with warriors is most defiantly trying to build more damage overall. thanks for the tips!
thanks raynday I almost lost hope for me playing as Bellona in the future but you reassured me
+Venus NQSL :) That's what I'm hear for, buddy!
Also ago kuang says "water and can flow or it can crash" in his dragon king skin. Awesome Bruce lee quote
Trying to get better with ravana after buying him i just got a cool skin with him thank you so much for your help especially with knowing team comps i like playing him in warrior role but i can't play him all the time having engage pressure is essential like guan yu.
I'd think it would be cool to see a video about the different items in smite and what items would be good to consider for each class, especially since i have trouble figuring out what item to buy, i do love playing warrior, especially bellona
I usually make the mistake to take advantage of my snow ball on early gods building damage but eventually it catches up to you and you are gonna need to buy defense regardless. This from a conquest prespective that goes over 20-25 minutes.
I always enjoy your guides Raynday. You're a great communicator. I'm glad to see the focus on the mindset needed, before min/max advice.
wow the psychological pressure is real in this one.. keep the good job mate!
Thanks Raynday, I am a solo laner so I am always playing warriors in my games.
Odin's really good when you have a friend. That ring of spears nets your allies so many kills and nets you those runes.
Good stuff bro, I would like to correct you on one thing though. The water quote, while it may be used in Jeet Kune Do you should know it was originally from Wing Chun. I highly suggest you check out the (y)ip man movies, the Wing Chun grandmaster that taught Bruce Lee.
Ben Wil yeah , that movie is one of the best
The Ryu impression killed me!!
amazing video! Huge fan man. I like ur inspiration to others makes me feel good. Thanks for this guide!
It's the first video i see from Raynday Gaming but i think you are freaking awessome i play smite for a long time and i know that i can be much better and this advices will help me reach that. Thanks +Raynday Gaming
I think i'll be playing warriors a little more often! REally enjoyed your video Raynday!
Thank you SO much for this video BEEN WAITING FOREVER!! KEEP up the good work raynday! Your videos are amazing! PS you deserve 10000000 more subscribers than you get.
Came here to learn to be a better warrior, learned way more than that. Thanks for the nice videos!
Yep.. describes me trying to play a warrior when I'm used to being mage/hunter/support.. but playing guardians, you'd think warrior would be easy to get the hang of. Thanks for the tips Rayn c: Good video as always.
Wow, dank life lessons yo. Thank you so much bruh
MY PLEASURE BUDDY!
Check out the Scylla and Susano penta kill i just uploaded in conquest. Damn.
i love how he turned it philosophical at the end
Hey Raynday, new to the channel and just wanted to say awesome content man. Please do keep stuff like this coming its a massive help. I need help being a better hunter haha.
Hey man you are very helpful and honestly most of this stuff i do already and i am surprised that it only took me 2 days to figure it out. Then again I have experience with moba's but in any case your videos are very helpful and hopefully I can try other roles and be more proficient at them. Thanks a lot again.
thank u so much i understand warriors better now and im not even done watching
Hey Raynday, what about the more niche roles? Like mage ADC with Freya/Chronos? Or Warrior Mage, like Hades/Chang'e? I used to be Warrior, and i still got it, like Nemesis/Thor? There are a lot of gods in other roles ("technically speaking") that can fill the role of a warrior, who are not in the warrior class. Especially the Mages and Assassins who have that potential. Have you ever played against a Chang'e with Rod of Asclepius, Pythagorem's Piece, Mail of Renewal, and Gauntlet of Thebes? She can't quite die, but she can consistently damage you and (literally) dance around you and your skill shots (try playing her full move speed, she gets bonus move speed and back pedal penalty removal during her abilities, and you can use her 1 ability to damage people AND physically dodge skill shots).
Top 5 Ways To Become A Better Tank In SMITE!
+Dragoonkid I have that video :)
yeah I saw the "top 10 ways to become a better support" and i thought it meant heals and buff characters ^^,
+Dragoonkid I mean those characters don't really exist in smite...
+Wych Bite I'm sure if you're trying to be a tank, you just mean guardians.
dasg hagery I mean hel is kind of a suportyish character but not really that the closest I can think of...
Damn I came here for Smite tips and I got that in spades along with sage life advice. Alright I'll give it up, subbed.
And now some quality interaction. Appreciate ya man
the beginning sounds like me in every game.
I have learned way more from your video than any other sources! thanks!
i just recently got that warrior mentality since i mained bakasura and played lots of other assassin or mages doing all that damage and starting to play warrior and doing no damage didn't seem at home but recently started play sun wu kong and going tanky and just messing with enemy with out them being able to do anythings is just so amusing.
As a warrior main,great video,I didnt learn much but hey,atleast ppl that watch this will not go bellona\osiris\odin\guan\vamana\herc full dmg and yell at me for not helping them.
I agree with most of this except number 5 I don't think every warrior needs it but most I agree do need it, and all I would add is build to counter the enemy team don't use one set build but that's a rule for all gods
Now I'm not scared of that job Interview! Thanks raynday
