as someone whos played this game for about a decade it was so refreshing to see a new players' experience in 2024. Good on you for sticking with it, as the learning curve is very hard and the community can be really mean if you don't play as well as they do while you're learning. Great vid!
"I enjoy Thor, hes a very versatile assassin, hes like a warrior." Ah young padawan if you only knew old smite. He was a warrior, Hades was a guardian.
5k hours in smite and still havent gotten all 270ish achievements, good thing you are doing this on playstation and not xbox or steam. Some of the god specific achievements are actually nuts like getting a triple kill with cupid's heart bomb.
That´s so fucked up, man XD. I remember deciding to complete every single achievement on steam back in 2019, I was playing smite since 2015 and just to find a little more purpose playing the game, I decided to try. It was really fun, played with a bunch of gods that I wasn´t very fond of and they suddenly became my favorites. Then I got to Tyr and saw his achievement: "KILL 15 FUCKING ENEMIES WITH TYR´S ULT" I gave up faster than Rá´s speedy ass when bumba´s used to give +35% movement speed
Glad to see new people come into a game that I used to play a ton, but man was it rough to watch the gameplay lol. Saying that He Bo doesn't do much damage is a crazy statement.
"He bo unfortunately doesn't do a lot of damage" as a clip is shown of them whiffing their ult, then dying during the 3s prefire animation so it didn't even go off properly. Just funny to watch. I wonder what spicy takes I had when I was a new player to the game years ago
ruclips.net/user/shortszMjUew3dZ0E?si=OO1uYx2ERnQxAgBR This is the damage that He Bo can achieve with a correct build and in Late, so that later they say that it has no damage xdd
I’ve played over 2000 hours of Smite and I have a couple tips for you. First I would highly recommend switching your controller layout to Savage, it may be hard to learn at first but trust me it’s way better and a lot of high skill controller players would agree savage is the best controller layout. You can aim while casting abilities since you don’t have to press the face buttons plus using relics requires less button presses. Second make sure whenever you’re playing squishes to always buy beads and aegis as your relics, you can also buy blink if you’re playing an assassin but relics like sprint or shell are mostly only used on guardians or warriors. Aegis and Beads will keep you alive as a squishy so I would buy them pretty much every game. Third when you’re leveling your abilities after you’ve reached level 5 and you have every ability unlocked, pick one ability (usually the one that does the most damage or is best at killing the minions) and level that one up to max before leveling up the other abilities (except for your ultimate, level up your ult every time you can). Fourth getting the trophy for killing 5 gods with one ability is extremely difficult as you can probably already tell. By far the best way to get this legitimately would be playing Scylla in arena while building as much power and penetration as you can. If you have max power on Scylla you can 1 hit kill squishes with your ultimate and every time you get a kill your ultimate resets. Your ultimate can even 1 hit kill squishies while they are in their fountain so in arena don’t be afraid to ult over the wall into the fountain for a kill they won’t see coming. To be fair though her ultimate won’t be 1 shotting anyone till like 15min+ into the game but once you get your build online she can do a lot of damage. It will probably take dozens if not a couple hundred games to pull it off unless you get super lucky. It may be best to find a team to play with who will let you get all 5 kills because even if you get lucky and kill 4 people only using her ult there’s a chance someone could take that fifth kill. Anyways though good luck and I can’t wait to see the next Smite video!
The controller one is all preference and dependent of what controller you use tbh. Been using an Elite controller for years so default layout isnt in issue. and even without an Elite its not the biggest issue to play claw whenever u need to use abilities
I was gonna write this exact guide! This should honestly make a big difference in your games. If you keep playing you'll notice it gets better the more gods you understand as well!
@@PlatinumBrohey, im a GM player who has been playing since season 2, if u want i can give u more tips or teach you the god combos. I liked your video a lot and im glad to see new players get into the game!
Actually, final form is not that hard, you can die between kills, you only need to kill 5 people in a row with the same skill, that is the only rule, but it´s really hard to come up naturally, I remember getting it with AMC´s ult, but it was so damn lucky and unreliable. A lot of characters can do that with extremely ease, Heim is a good one, just summon the boys to help you setting you up, make them choose characters with hard control to burn enemy beads, that way you can simply ult them when they are low on health, my group helped each other with this strategy and it was pretty easy
It's a really hard game to get into after over 10 years since its release! As you pointed out, a huge part of the difficulty is the roster, it'll take quite a long time before you know what to expect from each character when you play against them. And the skill ceiling is indeed massive, I've played since beta and got probably 5-6k hours so far, so I'm quite decent at the game. It's still not rare for me to face players who absolutely decimate me, they read me like a book and just outplay me with their positioning, general awareness and their ability to hit their stuff. Knowing what battles to pick is a skill which takes a long time to truly master. Thoroughly enjoyed the video, it was nice to reminiscence about my early days of playing Smite! I'm not the biggest guardian fan either, but Bacchus, Cthulhu and Kuzenbo are my favorite ones. They're more aggressive,when compared to gods like Geb or Khepri for example, so you might enjoy them.
Thanks for enjoying the video and sharing your journey too! I’ve been enjoying terra and atlas a lot, I don’t mind playing guardian/support when in a chat with a friend who is carry
I really enjoyed your video! I'm also a completionist, took years to get all guardians and mages diamond (level 10) and that felt really good! Joining/creating a community of players who are in voice chat (Discord, in game, etc) where you share things and laugh at your wins and losses is a huge bonus for staying power.
I've been playing Smite since season 2 and this was so cool to watch. The beginning is extremely hard since the game is very deeo, but it becomes very fun once you understand the mechanics and have a decent knowledge on how the gods work (specially so that you can predict what the enemies are doing. Keep it up man, it was so cool to watch your video :D
Also, purification beads is a must to get you out of hard crowd control moves from enemies. You will die much less if you use the purification beads relic and use that relic whenever you get cc’d or caught out of position.
Love seeing new people play the game, I used to play alot back in 2015-2017 and only picked it up again in the past year. Definitely a learning (and relearning) curve, but it’s possible! Can’t wait to see your progress!
I loved seeing all the little mistakes you made while learning that are common play to not mess up. People have played this game for about 12 years and forget how much there is to know its just become second hand knowledge to experienced players that makes you realize just how much smite is not new player friendly
Hey man, i actually started playing smite back in like 2016 on xbox and later decided to get the plat when i switched to playstation gaming. as you alluded to, 90% of the difficulty of the game just comes from knowing how to play it correctly and understanding all the gods and kits. They best advice i can give is play a lot, but also watch others play. I highly highly HIGHLY recommend both trellirelli and callmemast (i think his youtube is just mast). these guys are extremely high level players and will showcase how to play gods most efficiently. this will also give you additional exposure to the variety of gods and what they do. the hardest trophy by far is going to be killing 5 gods with 1 ability. the only real way to do this "easily" is using scyllas ult and wiping a whole team since it lets you fire again everytime you get a killing blow with it. good luck man, smite is definitely a marathon not a sprint. Even with close to 2k hours logged, im still only an average player but i was able to get the plat with the right dedication and time input.
Thanks for the advice man! Yeah I E watched a few of their videos but they kill the youtuber inside me because they are so click bait and the videos are just highlights of their streams hahaha
@@PlatinumBro Then you should absolutely check out Mast. He makes really, really good dedicated RUclips videos. He's generally pretty informative but the best way to learn is to simply watch him play in his vids. He used to be a pro player in the smite premier league and it really shows; he's insanely good
absolute nonsense, getting a 5 x triple kills trophy is 6/10 alone hahaha people who have the smite platinum will obvious thinks it's easy they have managed to get good at the game, it's just their bias overlooking the difficulty and the mastery required to even win a single game ha
Have the smite plat. Have over 3k ours. The trophy to kill 5 gods with a single ability was bugged for the longest time. It was meant to be done throughout the whole match but it could only be done with one ability use. Everything else was doable without cheesing. But thats just because i was really good and in a party with 3 players. We all have the plat now the last one got it a month ago . He got his first penta kill after years. 😂 but hes a support main so its really difficult @@PlatinumBro
You can do almost all of the trophies against normal level bots in co-op mode as long as there is at least one other human player on your team. It makes every trophy extremely trivial even searching with random teammates (with friends it would be even easier). The only one you need to play PVP for is level 10 with one God as you can only level up to 5 against bots. Even that is easy as you gain followers for playtime so you'll get it naturally, even if you're awful at the game. If you win games, you get a slight boost too. 3/10 is genuinely about right. It would be very hard if it was PVP only.
@@WhiteBandicootNo offense but have you played the game? Most of the trophies specifies "versus or ranked", you can't get them on bot matches, I've tried it, unless the devs for whatever reason decided now you could and forgot to change the description of the trophies
I started smite a few years ago and it was very fun playing with my friend group we don’t play as much anymore sadly. I have diamond mastery (max mastery level) on 4 gods and the hardest thing I had to learn was playing conquest as a warrior and assassin since those 2 roles have the most impact on a game. Also you don’t have to play gods in their designated roles as long as you understand how to build items correctly some examples are playing certain mages in the support lane while building full defence and cooldown reduction as well as some hunters in the mid lane with full damage and cool down. Not sure if you know this but moving while basic attacking makes you slower as it stops your momentum what you actually want to do when chasing and using your basic attack is move forward attack wait for the animation to finish then repeat
Diamond league, holy moly, I am bowing to you rn hahaha I’ve been playing bellona in jungle and thor in solo and that seems to be doing quite well for me tbf. Loki in solo seems to be so deadly in the early game, I haven’t tried it but been slapped too many times against him ha
I like this series and like to see new people playing smite. Just keep playing and learning and observing you’ll get better I have over 2000 hours in smite and the meta is always shifting! It definitely a challenging game but also very fun!
When I saw this video in my recommended I immediately jumped on it. Been a bout a month or two since I played smite that being after taking a lengthy 4 year break. I have had so much fun with this game over the years. I have found memories of soloing gold furies in the days when no one know how to play. I have a decent amount of trophies just from playing so much over the years but I couldn't imagine platinuming this game.
Hey welcome, I love the game so much as well it’s a master peice It’s going to be a long one and with smite 2 out soon I might have to leave it. Although when smite 2 is out it’ll probably be easier because the skilled player base would have moved on to the second one ha
As someone who has played a lot of smite, like too much smite, its nice to see new people give the game a try! Good luck to this challenge and many more in the future!
It’s rare to see different mobas get new players, especially with how toxic the games can be. I’ve been playing mobas for 8 years now and I would love to see more new players.
Awesome video. Long time smite player we’ve all been through the struggle. Very impressed considering you learned on your own and how many gods we have now. I’m so glad to hear you stuck with it. Looking forward to part two for sure
Seeing some of this gameplay gave me an aneurysm but really glad that you enjoyed it and gave this game some attention lmao. It got a playerbase but very little publicity which is a bit of a problem considering that smite 2 is coming up and the studio behind smite is.... well they don't have the best past with giving their projects the attention they needed and deserved. Just look what happened with their actually really good games like Rogue company. :( Ok but the biggest crime of this video is how u pronounced ullr lmao
@@PlatinumBro I wish you the best of luck! For the "kill 5 gods with one ability" one you should maybe team up with some friends for some combos. You should obviously pick a mage with high bust for that one. I would recommend scylla for that one. She has a lot of burst and a really high damaging ult that will get another charge when you get a kill with it so you don't really have to get them all with literally one single hit. Most other characters will be way harder because it's harder to hit 5 enemies with their ultimates or won't deal enough burst to secure the kills. If you find someone to play with you he should probably play Ares so he can blink into the enemy team and pull them in as a setup for your ultimate. Other than that you should probably change the ui a bit, there is an option to have the distance of your basic attacks marked. Consistently hitting them between abilities will make your damage numbers go up by a lot!
Loved the Video! Great to see you have so much fun with a game I have over 4k hours in, and who has helped his friends in the past to get past the insanely high skill floor smite has to offer. Honestly, the hardest achievement to get is really final form, which is also on steam one of the hardest (probably the hardest aside from the "impossible" god achievements), so best of luck for that! One thing I noticed in the video a lot (now I know the vid is already 3 weeks old so that might already old news to you), but builds are more often than not what can keep you from really getting better, on any role for that matter. But there is a good way to not build wrong stuff as someone who doesn't know every item yet! in the shop, you can switch to the tab "Popular", which are basically items most players build with said god, so (usually), you can't really miss with that. I say usually, as exceptions always happen, but this might help until you can free up some energy from learning gods to learning items! On another note, item related, if you enjoy assassins and mages, I recommend always starting with items that give you the stat penetration, not the % one, the flat number. That's because that's the best stat to get early on as a damagedealer, some players even build 2 or 3 of those! Granted you will have less mana, movement speed or similar stats for the first few levels, which can be really irritating if you already got used to it, but I believe that you can manage! You can also always try items or builds out in the jungle pratice against a bot that is always the same lvl as you (also hint hint, you can test every skin in the game there, if you are unsure of buying a skin or not~) Last note, kind of funny you said loki is so hated, as he isn't hated for years now, players who hate him usually are new, bad, or deaf (Loki makes a VERY audible sound when going invisible, which you can hear from very far away if you pay attention to it). Also every other ability people hate has been removed from Loki with a rework, which basically fixed every frustration Loki's old kit had. Anyway, if any divine deity bothered reading my wall of text, have a good week and stay hydrated~
hey thanks man! I am still working on my builds but I tend to just go one smiteprobuilds when i play a new character these days, unless I am messing around in arena with a wild build which is a lot of fun. Thanks for the advice about pen, i'll keep that in mind, tbh i've mainly been playing as warriors and guardians lately, they seem to allow for more mistakes due to their high health have a good week too dude! if you wanna play with me, feel free to add me on smite or join my discord we have a smite channel ha
Fun Fact about Thor (because you said he almost feels like a warrior): he actually was a warrior at first and got changed to an assassin after a bit. Great video, i spent like 4.5k hours in this game so it was incredible to see someone just learning it from the start. Also you got extremely good for the relatively short amount of time played, great video!
ohhhh that makes so much sense! I'm glad you enjoyed it! I was a bit worried experienced players wouldn't enjoy the video but i am glad you did! and why thank you! 200 hours in now and still feel like a beginner haha
@@PlatinumBro I mean, we all started out at some point and didn't know what we were doing. And back when I did, there were maybe like 50 gods so it was way easier to learn everything too. If anyone complains about your play, they just forgot how they first played haha
I never thought, I would enjoy a video like that (no Platinum, not my type of game), BUT you made the video interesting enough. You explained enough to keep me interested. I salut you for going on this journey. Good luck with the rest of the journey.
Great video, interesting hearing your process getting into Smite and being able to contrast that to mine. I am a trophy/achievement hunter as well (I play on PC), but I have around 10,000 hours in Smite, won the college world championship for the game a few times, masters every year blah blah blah. If you want any advice just LMK, but it seems like you're already improving naturally as you go. I think once you have a better idea of what each class should really be doing it will click more with you. Guardian is mostly about creating space, displacing enemies, and protecting, assassin is for picking off enemy hunters & mages, although hunters DPS is very high, their main purpose is killing opponent tanks and objectives, Warrior is a more tanky assassin-like dive, that's not as worried about helping your backline (at least for most of them), and Mages you want to throw out your damage to align with crowd control that your Warrior/Guardian are putting out and play with a good amount of space while you wait for them to create those windows. Personally I started the game playing Kumbhakarna and got him to rank 10, even though I'm not a tank player now and immediately became a Jungle/ADC player afterwards. I do think starting with a tankier role is good because you're allowed more margin for error, and they're really good and do a ton of damage as well. Although a recent patch makes them much less tanky than they have been for previous years. I don't remember if there is a trophy for getting a character to rank 10, but if there is I HIGHLY recommend grinding your favorite character to rank 10 before jumping around to a ton of different characters- I feel this gives you a much deeper understanding of what a classes role is and what items may be good on them, while getting a look at what it's like to play against so many other characters so you know who you might want to play next. Oh and for the penta-kill achievement you probably want to play full crit + bloodforge ADC in arena, or bloodforge Thanatos, for the 5 with one ability I believe Bakasura, Vamana, Scylla, Achillies are the easiest. Good luck on the platinum!
Thanks dude! It’s so funny because another 50 hours into smite and my opinion has massively changed. I love Guardians now. They might be my favourite class. And because what you said, there is much more room for mistakes with them as they don’t pop after one hit haha Thanks for watching dude
Smite is my favorite game ever i'm actually getting tired of it after playing for hours a day every day for years I have completed every trophy except final form that has to be the hardest trophy in existence. I love seeing newbs trying to play glad to see you enjoying it. I love how all your footage is you just missing all your abilities lmao its painful to watch
@@PlatinumBro He was worse years back, they changed his ult and 3rd ability to be less instant damage and more spread out as well because he’s such a single target god it made playing against him a nightmare as any non-tank.
There's also the dreaded "Loki main" Someone who plays the objective focused game mode, then never plays the objective. Just goes for kills, which only ever works if your team is ahead, if you're behind they essentially turn the game into a 4v5
This video is so awesome to watch. I have around 4500 hours in the game and it’s always so cool to see a new perspective. You’re also picking up things pretty quickly. Also if you want to play a guardian that does more damage, I would highly recommend Atlas and Cerberus. These 2 do a lot of damage and are relatively safe because they have a dash/leap. Good luck on the battleground of the gods my friend!
+3500 hours and still missing the trophy of killing the fire giant like a few minutes after it spawns Edit: dont worry, we all were a loki main at one point in our smite career :)
From someone’s who’s played smite for over 7 years this was interesting to watch. You did a good job explaining the roles and learning how conquest is so complex. I started on console as well. The skill ceiling is ridiculous on PC. Still an awesome game with amazing skins.
hey thanks man glad you think so! it was so hard to try and break it down without making it confusing but also explaining that is the most complicate multiplayer game on console hahaha
as a guy with well over 5000 hours in this game and hearing this stuff from a new player perspective feels like came a long way and the fact people are still coming on the game i love/hate keeping it alive cause it hard to forgot 5000 hours of gameplay knowledge see it from a blank slate
After i started playing smite around 2 or so years ago i was glad i had friends to help me with it. After a year of playing I realized how many achievements there are. And I barley knocked any of them off but i moved to playing it on pc after I got one. The difference between M&K and controllers is just crazy.
Honestly, Kudos for sticking with the game in the rough first parts. I remember my first time playing this game on the Xbox with the release of Ah Puch and getting told to uninstall for how bad I was. It can be a rough time in a MOBA continuously losing and banter from teammates and enemies alike in post game lobbies can seriously dampen the experience further. For all its faults, I still hold this game close to my heart even if I take extended breaks and get frustrated with it
Ive played smite everyday since the beta around 11 years ago. Im glad you stuck around the game is difficult yes but i feel like the fun kinda overshadows it lol. Ive hit masters a handul of times and basically the number one thing you wanna do is stick to meta builds and experiment as least as possible with builds and focus more on positition, playing better, and game IQ. Also knowing what the items do is very important. I would love to help in your journey I play pretty much daily. Awesome video btw!
I’m glad there’s still people who can get into the game now and enjoy it. It’s definitely difficult to get into but the only way to maintain it is for people to be friendly with new players like you.
Yeah man, maybe when I start playing ranked I’ll change but it’s about fun right hahaha. I do get why it’s so toxic because of how one bad player can ruin a game for you ha
Been hooked for three years. Prior to Smite was an FPS gamer with 5k hrs in CSGO and another 5k on a variety of other shooters. The never ending challenge of improvement is what has kept me coming back. The community was insufferable for my first two years and still can be. If it wasn't for the terrible culture this game would have likely been much more successful as the gameplay and depth is fantastic.
omg i remember you streaming this a few weeks ago and hopping into a few arena matches with you (Paradisin @ 7:10 & 10:20 - sadly the NA/EU server ping diff was rough), but I'm surprised you kept with it and stuck it out enough to make this video. Good luck with the grind to the platinum trophy!! I feel the struggle, I've been trying to get all the Steam achievements for this game for so long now and I'm still only at 279/319 (87%) but its all god-specific ones now at least
I gave up on trying to get every achievement long ago due to how impossible some are, but a couple months ago I finally got every single god to diamond rank, which honestly I feel is way more satisfying.
300+ hrs after and I'm 2 trophies away from my platinum, and looking for people that will help me and get them aswell... It's Golden Greed and Flaming Speed. Would appreciate a lot the help, been looking everywhere for help and nothing 😔 it can take 15 minutes to get both trophies. And GL on your Trophy Hunting ;)
As someone who has the platinum on this game. I’m wishing you massive amounts of luck on your journey I know the amount of dedication needed for this one and even after I was done with my journey on it I still had no idea what the f**k I was doing on it 😂
@@PlatinumBro it’s just one them games that’s so fun to play yet takes years to learn/master but always changes since patches always change how things work. Thank you! sending you massive amounts of luck on your journey hoping to see a part two soon! ❤️ I have a feeling you’ll be having a much better understanding on how things work than I ever will 😂
That was super interesting to watch! I've been playing Smite since January 2014 and even played quite a lot in ranked games. It is very hard to introduce new people into this game, congratz for having enough patience and dedication, glad you enjoyed the journey
@@PlatinumBro I've got about 6-7k hours into the game, I still play occasionally but not as much as before. I used to spend way too much time on it, and then we age and can't do that anymore :p
You chose a hell of a time to try smite, going into smite 2 with a bunch of patch reverts has kept the game in a less balanced/more fun state, which I can imagine you don’t really feel this early in the game.
Ullr being called Earl is now something I am required to do lmao. Glad to see you playing smite, I've played this game for 10 years now and it has been a blast, keep it up!
I’ve been playing smite on console since 2016 and only in February of 2024 I unlocked my last trophy (final form) it was never my interest to get the platinum trophy but just by playing the game for fun this is how long it took me to get the platinum, worth to mention that I probably have over 10k hours in smite, a game I enjoyed playing for the past 8 years
Love seeing new players in the game! I have over 5k hrs in SMITE and am a bit of a junky as ive hit high ranks in Joust, Duel, and Conquest. Ive got over 17k worshipers on a single god with over 70 at diamond. I have recently got 3 new players hooked on the game, so I definatly know there are other newbies out there hitting the grind with you. Best of luck to ya!
Been playing Smite since season 2 and i'm still TERRIFIED of conquest lmao. I used to try and learn the meta from streamers but nowadays there's just not many i enjoy anymore and i'm also not an aggresive player so i just get very anxious (leftover from all the toxicity back when i wasn't very good). I'm an arena warrior through and through. It is great seeing people still getting into the game and learning to enjoy it as it has been a massive part of my life, so thank you for this vid! (also good getting confirmation that the game may not be as easy as some people make it out to be, it helps heal my insecure inner child who got absolutely thrashed all those years ago)
I'm glad I found you through this. This reminds me of when I tried to platinum it for a week, and still had about 4 or 5 trophies left. I gave up and just play for fun now. 3000 hours later and I just log in for fun. I'd help you out if you still want to go for it
Hearing a new voice saying so many good things about a game too many like to harshly criticize is so refreshing! Smite has many flaws and it's about to be replaced by its sequel, but it's the first and only moba that managed to make me fall in love. That has to count for something! Listening to a new player singing the praises to a game I love despite all its flaws put a smile on my face :) hope you'll stick around, friend!
glad you found it refreshing :D I enjoy it alot, i think online mobas are always going to have toxicity just due to how integral teamwork truly is with them
One thing you may not have noticed while playing ares is that if you hit his chain ability, you can do it again up to 3 times. It's his biggest damage source, but only if you use all 3. It does damage over time, so hitting multiple people or waiting a second before the next chain does MASSIVE damage, more than some mages.
Tips to new/intermediate players from a s1 5k hr player: 1.) Switching your casting type to instant cast in controls is a learning curve but makes a night and day difference it ability casting speed 2.) Strafing and attacking slow you down so time your attacks for when your close enough to secure the kill and not be to slow to miss the kill. 3.) Auto attack canceling is basic attacking then as soon as you see the damage number cast and ability then when you see that damage number basic attack again this allows you to cancel the ability animation therefore allowing you to get more damage in quicker 4.) Work on foot work dodging attack is just as important as hitting them you cant fight if your dead move side to side or just turn around and move straight to avoid the movement penalty for strafing. Stop basic attacking for a moment so you’ll have enough speed to dodge 5.) Avoid body blocking your team you can cause them to get hit by abilities when they try to dodge.Do body block the enemy team if your a tank to protect teammates or to prevent them from running when your team is attacking. 6.Playing from behind when your losing dont just surrender farm more xp a one level difference is huge in this game minion waves give more xp than jungle camps dont steal to much of your teammates farm tho. Kill major objective fire giant can turn a game around us wards if you keep getting ganked,gold fury gives alotta xp and gold.Try ganking the enemy teams top frag when you are on a killing spree you get a gold and xp bounty on your head those that kill you gain almost the same lvl you are plus about 600 gold 7).BEADS AND AEGIS ARE S TIER RELICS AS A SQUISHY YOU SHOULD ALMOST ALWAYS BUY THEM IS YOUR KIT DOESNT HAVE CC IMMUNITY
I'm honestly surprised you jumped in raw without looking up any videos on high level tutorials especially in conquest. I think even in game there are high level overview tutorial videos that explain the game mode in depth further. But also just RUclips videos on simple things like finish leveling one ability before leveling another, or what gods are the "easiest" to play. Merlin being one of the hardest gods with the stance switching. It was Soo cool to watch this whole video though! 😊
I have been playing this game for about 5 to 6 years now and I have to say I have never had more rage and more anger in my heart for this game in my life, but I cannot stop playing it
@@PlatinumBro by the way, bro just a little piece of advice with the people in this game just don’t pay attention to them one of the most toxic fans you will ever meet. Good luck, bro
Smite is still one of my all time favorite games. Even after 1000s of hours, I still enjoy learning new stuff. Good on ya trying to get the achievements!
I have played this game since it got released and have over 3k hours in it. It does get frustrating from time to time but I alwasy find myself coming back. Its a very addicting game once u understand it and it has a learning curve
I started playing this when they announced the transformers collaboration, it is very fun but don't think I could ever plat it 😭 congrats man (Also shout out to My Hero Ultra Rumble 😉)
Joust is probably the mode thats the sweatiest and arguablly most popular for competition . Smite is a game you probably need to play a whole year to scratch diamond lobbies in conquest and joust : and then a whole another level to get higher than that
Seeing you not level your ult when you unlocked it made me understand why you feel embarrassed lol. Its awesome to watch someone elses smite journey, i forgot what it was like
This was a really fun watch. I really enjoy teaching new players the game and the idea of working torwards a specific goal is fun. Might be joining the Kendom, atleast with an alt.
As a smite pro who plays Geb as their main I have one thing to say to you my friend and that is every single game is somewhat similar. Adc, Sup, Mid, Jg and solo. What spices up the gameplay is the gods you and your enemies pick plus what build you are using for your desired god. Smite is hard to get into and say unto because of its toxic community. If you really like the way smite works than dont let other people ruin the experience for you.
There's an unfortunately large number of achievements that are simply impossible now because of god reworks. For example Erlang Shen was only just recently reverted to be able to knock people up with his dash again and theres an achievement that required that. Also despite the community's "moba mentality" for lack of a better term a surprising number of players are actually willing to work with, and teach, new players. Also the guy talking about the savage control layout is correct from what I know but I play almost all keyboard and mouse. Also you can do tricks with the skateboard on the TMNT skins by jumping while in the special emote. Always good to see new players out there and play as much loki as you'd like lol people hate on him way less since his rework a few years back.
Wow, I played smite since 2014. Still don’t have all achievements, love your determination though! As you learn all the gods and understand the game more guardians become more fun. Love the vid and goodluck!
Smite is the only MOBA I play and I've been playing it since BETA. It does have an insanely difficult learning curve, but once you do start getting good at the game it's SO satisfying.
@@PlatinumBro Truly! There's so much to keep track of and much like you said in the video, you need pretty in depth knowledge on movement, maps, and all the gods and items in the game in order to actually be effective. You've also gotta have some pretty insane reaction timings if you want to live longer than a minute at a time lmao
Yeah intersect does good helpful videos tbf. Weakens videos are too click bait for me. The only guide you need for x god (jokes it’s just a stream highlight) 😒
I have over a thousand hours in smite I will say I do enjoy guardians you can build them to do high damage, a lot of items can help you reduce damage taken from magical and physical that also help you do tick damage or even give you some more burst damage. So stacking certain items allow you to do tick damage (damage over time) boosting the lack of damage some guardians have. Some gods, like aries passive building items that give auras will increase his damage and if you use his chains successfully, you can use it 3 times and then use your fire you can pump out a lot of damage. I would definitely read into some of there passives and see what goes hand in hand with there kit!
My opinion has 100% changed since this video hahah. I really like playing guardians as ‘bruisers’ rather than full tanks. Unless I’m Bacchus, then I just go full tank haha
I have a lot of hours in this game and it was incredibly painful for me to watch but I'm glad that new people are actually starting to enjoy the game just like I did! The more you play the more you learn!
Man I wish I could've somehow helped you with this endeavor. You say that you don't like the guardians but you like warriors and you like solo lane, I would've told you to just play guardians in the solo lane. There are so many that are really fun and pretty damn effective in the solo lane. To name a few that I think are a lot of fun, there's Ymir of course, Kuzenbo, Cthulu who's amazing fun in solo, Bake Kujira who's also hilarious in solo, Artio is great in solo, Cabrakan can solo or even Jungle, Geb is a very deceiving character for beginners. Geb can solo, his main role is support, but you'd think of Geb as a hard support character who only exists to buff his team with the shields, but honestly, I find the most success with him building him hybrid/bruiser and playing VERY aggressive with him. He's an absolute menace to squishies, and it does feel awesome to save a teammate with the shield, but it's ok to just shield yourself too. The top two hardest trophies, imo, is the one where you have to kill 5 enemies with one ability. There's a way to cheese that trophy! Idk if it still works, but used to, Ullr's stance swap was considered an ability. So you would swap stance, and all you had to do was kill 5 enemies without dying and without using any other abilities, and if you did that then the game would register it as 5 kills with one ability, granting you the trophy. If not, then Scylla ult is your best bet. The other difficult trophy is one that's a lot easier in a 5-stack or if the enemy team has a DC, and that trophy is killing the Fire Giant within one minute of it spawning. FG spawns at 10:00, if you have your team help you get this trophy, it's really not that hard because the enemies never suspect someone to try killing FG at 10:00. But it does help a lot if they have a DC, I've helped dozens of people get that trophy. Probably the longest comment ever but dude, I've loved watching this! Brings back so many nostalgic memories of how it was for me learning this game. Glad to see that you're enjoying it and having a positive attitude towards the game. Good on you brother.
this was awesome watch been playing smite over 7 yrs and you picked it up pretty well. but entire time you were talking about hating the guardians but liking the warriors I thought why doesn't he play a guardian like a warrior in the solo I do it all the time
ngl I reckon if I hopped on a new account I could probably get all trophies in like 10/15 hours (barring ones that require more by nature of e.g. having to be level 30) but because you're a new player, learning will obviously add many hours into the game. Love seeing new players coming to the game. Also gotta shoutout the fact you like Poseidon, he's my favourite god and carried me into top 100 world back when I played. Seems we enjoy the same types of characters. I think many people underestimate just how difficult this game is, cause they think it's like a casual version of League, which yeah, kinda, but just cause it's more casual doesn't make it easier, especially at a higher level. If you REALLY struggle with some achievements like getting 5 kills with 1 ability I can give you a cheesy way to get it, you might not like it since it's kinda cheap and exploitative but at the same time it's incredibly difficult to get under normal circumstances, especially since matchmaking pairs you with players around your level..
@@PlatinumBro Not sure why but my comment got deleted, I'll dm you on discord on how to do it. Also yeah, I meant achievements that are hard but not time consuming. Things like 70 god masteries would obviously take a while.
Really cool vid, i got almost 4k hours in the game and i like playing support, try using chthullu with a hybrid build and he will feel like a warrior and its really fun becoming giant and beating everyone.
Played smite for a long time. I’m the same way with most games where I play the high DPS characters. I actually found that guardians can be fun depending on how you build them. Rather than building Ymir to be very tanky, just build him with different items so he is a glass cannon. Almost every god can become a glass cannon. And when the guardian class is built differently, they can be the most fun!
6/13 is a genuinely really good score for a first ever conquest game. Some like 6+ year veterans get that score often! Also, I get not liking guardians so much, but there are some that are very aggro and also, you don't have to build protection on them. Some gods, like Cabrakan, are immense fun when built full damage/glass cannon. People call him 'Fat Loki' for a reason, because his burst is wild.
Hey man. I'd suggest looking up some builds for the gods you like to play. If I had one other suggestion it would be to try to support you team as much as possible. Being by yourself is typically a bad idea. When you are near teammates you can play off their crowd control abilities making it easier to hit your own abilities.
as someone whos played this game for about a decade it was so refreshing to see a new players' experience in 2024. Good on you for sticking with it, as the learning curve is very hard and the community can be really mean if you don't play as well as they do while you're learning. Great vid!
I’m glad you enjoyed it, I was worried smite vets would hate the video ha.
Thanks, I really like the game despite its difficukty ha
"I enjoy Thor, hes a very versatile assassin, hes like a warrior." Ah young padawan if you only knew old smite. He was a warrior, Hades was a guardian.
hahahahahah
@@1ts_Lunar huh batz was sun wukong
Guan yu was broken
@@RoyalThundergod We do NOT talk about release guan yu.
Hades was never a real guardian though... he was one in name only. Nobody that understood his kit and scaling actually played him as a guardian, ever.
5k hours in smite and still havent gotten all 270ish achievements, good thing you are doing this on playstation and not xbox or steam. Some of the god specific achievements are actually nuts like getting a triple kill with cupid's heart bomb.
Yeah I’m thankful haha I didn’t know the lists were different until after I published this and people starting telling me ha
15 kills with Odin jump in a single game is nuts too
That´s so fucked up, man XD. I remember deciding to complete every single achievement on steam back in 2019, I was playing smite since 2015 and just to find a little more purpose playing the game, I decided to try. It was really fun, played with a bunch of gods that I wasn´t very fond of and they suddenly became my favorites. Then I got to Tyr and saw his achievement: "KILL 15 FUCKING ENEMIES WITH TYR´S ULT" I gave up faster than Rá´s speedy ass when bumba´s used to give +35% movement speed
I think penta kill is the one of the hardest to achieve
@yolilherb465 i got a few of those, however, i still dont have the one about killing FG within 1 min of it spawning.
Glad to see new people come into a game that I used to play a ton, but man was it rough to watch the gameplay lol. Saying that He Bo doesn't do much damage is a crazy statement.
He bo does in fact, do a disgusting amount of damage
"He bo unfortunately doesn't do a lot of damage" as a clip is shown of them whiffing their ult, then dying during the 3s prefire animation so it didn't even go off properly.
Just funny to watch. I wonder what spicy takes I had when I was a new player to the game years ago
the god of 3 ults
ruclips.net/user/shortszMjUew3dZ0E?si=OO1uYx2ERnQxAgBR This is the damage that He Bo can achieve with a correct build and in Late, so that later they say that it has no damage xdd
@@Rodguen644 That is a crazy video. I also find it funny that I'm pretty sure I know what he is saying without speaking the language
I’ve played over 2000 hours of Smite and I have a couple tips for you.
First I would highly recommend switching your controller layout to Savage, it may be hard to learn at first but trust me it’s way better and a lot of high skill controller players would agree savage is the best controller layout. You can aim while casting abilities since you don’t have to press the face buttons plus using relics requires less button presses.
Second make sure whenever you’re playing squishes to always buy beads and aegis as your relics, you can also buy blink if you’re playing an assassin but relics like sprint or shell are mostly only used on guardians or warriors. Aegis and Beads will keep you alive as a squishy so I would buy them pretty much every game.
Third when you’re leveling your abilities after you’ve reached level 5 and you have every ability unlocked, pick one ability (usually the one that does the most damage or is best at killing the minions) and level that one up to max before leveling up the other abilities (except for your ultimate, level up your ult every time you can).
Fourth getting the trophy for killing 5 gods with one ability is extremely difficult as you can probably already tell. By far the best way to get this legitimately would be playing Scylla in arena while building as much power and penetration as you can. If you have max power on Scylla you can 1 hit kill squishes with your ultimate and every time you get a kill your ultimate resets. Your ultimate can even 1 hit kill squishies while they are in their fountain so in arena don’t be afraid to ult over the wall into the fountain for a kill they won’t see coming. To be fair though her ultimate won’t be 1 shotting anyone till like 15min+ into the game but once you get your build online she can do a lot of damage. It will probably take dozens if not a couple hundred games to pull it off unless you get super lucky. It may be best to find a team to play with who will let you get all 5 kills because even if you get lucky and kill 4 people only using her ult there’s a chance someone could take that fifth kill.
Anyways though good luck and I can’t wait to see the next Smite video!
Thanks for all the tips! I really appreciate it! I’ll definitely use them in future games :)
The controller one is all preference and dependent of what controller you use tbh. Been using an Elite controller for years so default layout isnt in issue. and even without an Elite its not the biggest issue to play claw whenever u need to use abilities
I was gonna write this exact guide! This should honestly make a big difference in your games. If you keep playing you'll notice it gets better the more gods you understand as well!
@@PlatinumBrohey, im a GM player who has been playing since season 2, if u want i can give u more tips or teach you the god combos.
I liked your video a lot and im glad to see new players get into the game!
Actually, final form is not that hard, you can die between kills, you only need to kill 5 people in a row with the same skill, that is the only rule, but it´s really hard to come up naturally, I remember getting it with AMC´s ult, but it was so damn lucky and unreliable. A lot of characters can do that with extremely ease, Heim is a good one, just summon the boys to help you setting you up, make them choose characters with hard control to burn enemy beads, that way you can simply ult them when they are low on health, my group helped each other with this strategy and it was pretty easy
It's a really hard game to get into after over 10 years since its release! As you pointed out, a huge part of the difficulty is the roster, it'll take quite a long time before you know what to expect from each character when you play against them. And the skill ceiling is indeed massive, I've played since beta and got probably 5-6k hours so far, so I'm quite decent at the game. It's still not rare for me to face players who absolutely decimate me, they read me like a book and just outplay me with their positioning, general awareness and their ability to hit their stuff. Knowing what battles to pick is a skill which takes a long time to truly master.
Thoroughly enjoyed the video, it was nice to reminiscence about my early days of playing Smite! I'm not the biggest guardian fan either, but Bacchus, Cthulhu and Kuzenbo are my favorite ones. They're more aggressive,when compared to gods like Geb or Khepri for example, so you might enjoy them.
Thanks for enjoying the video and sharing your journey too!
I’ve been enjoying terra and atlas a lot, I don’t mind playing guardian/support when in a chat with a friend who is carry
As a 6k hour masters player in smite this was fun to watch, would be epic to see more people try because of this!
Over 11k hours through all my accounts and man it takes me back to how bad I was, and what my head cannon was for meta builds.
Hahaha I’m glad you enjoyed me fumbling through 😂
Smite Member berries haha
It's so wholesome to see new players trying to figure out the game raw! So cool.
hahaha glad you enjoyed me fumbling through this and after another 100 hours, I still am fumbling through
@@PlatinumBro I've got over 3000 hours! I love it dearly. It was a fun video to watch!
Very refreshing to see stuff like this in year 11 of smite
I really enjoyed your video! I'm also a completionist, took years to get all guardians and mages diamond (level 10) and that felt really good! Joining/creating a community of players who are in voice chat (Discord, in game, etc) where you share things and laugh at your wins and losses is a huge bonus for staying power.
thanks glad you enjoyed it. oh yeah you gotta laugh at your own failings haha
This video is so good. Your enthusiasm for a game I love made my day.
thanks that means the world to me :D
I've been playing Smite since season 2 and this was so cool to watch. The beginning is extremely hard since the game is very deeo, but it becomes very fun once you understand the mechanics and have a decent knowledge on how the gods work (specially so that you can predict what the enemies are doing. Keep it up man, it was so cool to watch your video :D
bro that last few warrior clips made me so fucking proud, that was pretty good, you that doggggg
🫡🫡🫡🫡 I’m getting there slowly haha
Also, purification beads is a must to get you out of hard crowd control moves from enemies. You will die much less if you use the purification beads relic and use that relic whenever you get cc’d or caught out of position.
a lesson i have learnt the hard way haha
Love seeing new people play the game, I used to play alot back in 2015-2017 and only picked it up again in the past year. Definitely a learning (and relearning) curve, but it’s possible! Can’t wait to see your progress!
thanks very much, hopefully i get good (i can't see it happening)
This explains so much when I see some people in this game. I forget home much time I have spent on it.
I loved seeing all the little mistakes you made while learning that are common play to not mess up. People have played this game for about 12 years and forget how much there is to know its just become second hand knowledge to experienced players that makes you realize just how much smite is not new player friendly
Hey man, i actually started playing smite back in like 2016 on xbox and later decided to get the plat when i switched to playstation gaming. as you alluded to, 90% of the difficulty of the game just comes from knowing how to play it correctly and understanding all the gods and kits. They best advice i can give is play a lot, but also watch others play. I highly highly HIGHLY recommend both trellirelli and callmemast (i think his youtube is just mast). these guys are extremely high level players and will showcase how to play gods most efficiently. this will also give you additional exposure to the variety of gods and what they do. the hardest trophy by far is going to be killing 5 gods with 1 ability. the only real way to do this "easily" is using scyllas ult and wiping a whole team since it lets you fire again everytime you get a killing blow with it. good luck man, smite is definitely a marathon not a sprint. Even with close to 2k hours logged, im still only an average player but i was able to get the plat with the right dedication and time input.
Thanks for the advice man! Yeah I E watched a few of their videos but they kill the youtuber inside me because they are so click bait and the videos are just highlights of their streams hahaha
@@PlatinumBroI really like samdadude but he mostly plays duels
@@PlatinumBro Then you should absolutely check out Mast. He makes really, really good dedicated RUclips videos. He's generally pretty informative but the best way to learn is to simply watch him play in his vids. He used to be a pro player in the smite premier league and it really shows; he's insanely good
@@PlatinumBromast bro trust me
Great video! Your enthusiasm for the game rocks!
thanks man! I am quite addicted to it rn ha
The guide said Smite's platinum trophy difficulty was 3/10. Surely it wouldn't lie?
absolute nonsense, getting a 5 x triple kills trophy is 6/10 alone hahaha
people who have the smite platinum will obvious thinks it's easy they have managed to get good at the game, it's just their bias overlooking the difficulty and the mastery required to even win a single game ha
Have the smite plat. Have over 3k ours. The trophy to kill 5 gods with a single ability was bugged for the longest time. It was meant to be done throughout the whole match but it could only be done with one ability use. Everything else was doable without cheesing. But thats just because i was really good and in a party with 3 players. We all have the plat now the last one got it a month ago . He got his first penta kill after years. 😂 but hes a support main so its really difficult @@PlatinumBro
I got this Plat a while back almost 3k hours
You can do almost all of the trophies against normal level bots in co-op mode as long as there is at least one other human player on your team. It makes every trophy extremely trivial even searching with random teammates (with friends it would be even easier). The only one you need to play PVP for is level 10 with one God as you can only level up to 5 against bots. Even that is easy as you gain followers for playtime so you'll get it naturally, even if you're awful at the game. If you win games, you get a slight boost too.
3/10 is genuinely about right. It would be very hard if it was PVP only.
@@WhiteBandicootNo offense but have you played the game? Most of the trophies specifies "versus or ranked", you can't get them on bot matches, I've tried it, unless the devs for whatever reason decided now you could and forgot to change the description of the trophies
I started smite a few years ago and it was very fun playing with my friend group we don’t play as much anymore sadly. I have diamond mastery (max mastery level) on 4 gods and the hardest thing I had to learn was playing conquest as a warrior and assassin since those 2 roles have the most impact on a game. Also you don’t have to play gods in their designated roles as long as you understand how to build items correctly some examples are playing certain mages in the support lane while building full defence and cooldown reduction as well as some hunters in the mid lane with full damage and cool down. Not sure if you know this but moving while basic attacking makes you slower as it stops your momentum what you actually want to do when chasing and using your basic attack is move forward attack wait for the animation to finish then repeat
Diamond league, holy moly, I am bowing to you rn hahaha
I’ve been playing bellona in jungle and thor in solo and that seems to be doing quite well for me tbf. Loki in solo seems to be so deadly in the early game, I haven’t tried it but been slapped too many times against him ha
With the tmnt skin if u jump while using it, it’ll kick flip 😊
omg no way!!!
As a very long time Smite player this was extremely fun to watch lol. I really hope there is a part 2 in the future!
that's so great to hear, I was abit worried I might get crucified by the smite fans but everyone has been super nice!
I like this series and like to see new people playing smite. Just keep playing and learning and observing you’ll get better I have over 2000 hours in smite and the meta is always shifting! It definitely a challenging game but also very fun!
I’m glad you liked it! Thanks man, with smite 2 out soon, that’ll probably be where I sink my hours in hahaha
When I saw this video in my recommended I immediately jumped on it. Been a bout a month or two since I played smite that being after taking a lengthy 4 year break. I have had so much fun with this game over the years. I have found memories of soloing gold furies in the days when no one know how to play. I have a decent amount of trophies just from playing so much over the years but I couldn't imagine platinuming this game.
Hey welcome, I love the game so much as well it’s a master peice
It’s going to be a long one and with smite 2 out soon I might have to leave it. Although when smite 2 is out it’ll probably be easier because the skilled player base would have moved on to the second one ha
As someone who has played a lot of smite, like too much smite, its nice to see new people give the game a try! Good luck to this challenge and many more in the future!
glad you enjoyed it! thanks very much :)
It’s rare to see different mobas get new players, especially with how toxic the games can be. I’ve been playing mobas for 8 years now and I would love to see more new players.
Awesome video. Long time smite player we’ve all been through the struggle. Very impressed considering you learned on your own and how many gods we have now. I’m so glad to hear you stuck with it. Looking forward to part two for sure
Seeing some of this gameplay gave me an aneurysm but really glad that you enjoyed it and gave this game some attention lmao. It got a playerbase but very little publicity which is a bit of a problem considering that smite 2 is coming up and the studio behind smite is.... well they don't have the best past with giving their projects the attention they needed and deserved.
Just look what happened with their actually really good games like Rogue company. :(
Ok but the biggest crime of this video is how u pronounced ullr lmao
Hahahahah I bet it did
I’m hyped for smite 2 now, hopefully I can get the plat before then
@@PlatinumBro I wish you the best of luck! For the "kill 5 gods with one ability" one you should maybe team up with some friends for some combos. You should obviously pick a mage with high bust for that one. I would recommend scylla for that one. She has a lot of burst and a really high damaging ult that will get another charge when you get a kill with it so you don't really have to get them all with literally one single hit. Most other characters will be way harder because it's harder to hit 5 enemies with their ultimates or won't deal enough burst to secure the kills. If you find someone to play with you he should probably play Ares so he can blink into the enemy team and pull them in as a setup for your ultimate.
Other than that you should probably change the ui a bit, there is an option to have the distance of your basic attacks marked. Consistently hitting them between abilities will make your damage numbers go up by a lot!
The ullr got me too lol
Loved the Video! Great to see you have so much fun with a game I have over 4k hours in, and who has helped his friends in the past to get past the insanely high skill floor smite has to offer.
Honestly, the hardest achievement to get is really final form, which is also on steam one of the hardest (probably the hardest aside from the "impossible" god achievements), so best of luck for that!
One thing I noticed in the video a lot (now I know the vid is already 3 weeks old so that might already old news to you), but builds are more often than not what can keep you from really getting better, on any role for that matter. But there is a good way to not build wrong stuff as someone who doesn't know every item yet! in the shop, you can switch to the tab "Popular", which are basically items most players build with said god, so (usually), you can't really miss with that. I say usually, as exceptions always happen, but this might help until you can free up some energy from learning gods to learning items!
On another note, item related, if you enjoy assassins and mages, I recommend always starting with items that give you the stat penetration, not the % one, the flat number. That's because that's the best stat to get early on as a damagedealer, some players even build 2 or 3 of those! Granted you will have less mana, movement speed or similar stats for the first few levels, which can be really irritating if you already got used to it, but I believe that you can manage! You can also always try items or builds out in the jungle pratice against a bot that is always the same lvl as you (also hint hint, you can test every skin in the game there, if you are unsure of buying a skin or not~)
Last note, kind of funny you said loki is so hated, as he isn't hated for years now, players who hate him usually are new, bad, or deaf (Loki makes a VERY audible sound when going invisible, which you can hear from very far away if you pay attention to it). Also every other ability people hate has been removed from Loki with a rework, which basically fixed every frustration Loki's old kit had.
Anyway, if any divine deity bothered reading my wall of text, have a good week and stay hydrated~
hey thanks man!
I am still working on my builds but I tend to just go one smiteprobuilds when i play a new character these days, unless I am messing around in arena with a wild build which is a lot of fun.
Thanks for the advice about pen, i'll keep that in mind, tbh i've mainly been playing as warriors and guardians lately, they seem to allow for more mistakes due to their high health
have a good week too dude! if you wanna play with me, feel free to add me on smite or join my discord we have a smite channel ha
you did well as a new player! great explanation as to why smite is hard
Thanks man! I really was strugglingly to explain it when I was making the video so I'm glad it came across :)
It took me a year to learn everything on this game, it’s one of those games that is so satisfying knowing every gods abilities and items.
Fun Fact about Thor (because you said he almost feels like a warrior): he actually was a warrior at first and got changed to an assassin after a bit.
Great video, i spent like 4.5k hours in this game so it was incredible to see someone just learning it from the start. Also you got extremely good for the relatively short amount of time played, great video!
ohhhh that makes so much sense!
I'm glad you enjoyed it! I was a bit worried experienced players wouldn't enjoy the video but i am glad you did!
and why thank you! 200 hours in now and still feel like a beginner haha
@@PlatinumBro I mean, we all started out at some point and didn't know what we were doing. And back when I did, there were maybe like 50 gods so it was way easier to learn everything too. If anyone complains about your play, they just forgot how they first played haha
extremly good is kinda pushing it

I never thought, I would enjoy a video like that (no Platinum, not my type of game), BUT you made the video interesting enough. You explained enough to keep me interested. I salut you for going on this journey. Good luck with the rest of the journey.
Thanks dude! Means a lot! Glad you enjoyed it
wait until you hear the first 5 games are bot matches
I’ll be here for part two! This game will definitely be a quest.
Good luck on the god specific trophies
Thanks dude :)
Ah yes, Earl. My favorite stance switching hunter 😂
Great video, interesting hearing your process getting into Smite and being able to contrast that to mine. I am a trophy/achievement hunter as well (I play on PC), but I have around 10,000 hours in Smite, won the college world championship for the game a few times, masters every year blah blah blah. If you want any advice just LMK, but it seems like you're already improving naturally as you go. I think once you have a better idea of what each class should really be doing it will click more with you. Guardian is mostly about creating space, displacing enemies, and protecting, assassin is for picking off enemy hunters & mages, although hunters DPS is very high, their main purpose is killing opponent tanks and objectives, Warrior is a more tanky assassin-like dive, that's not as worried about helping your backline (at least for most of them), and Mages you want to throw out your damage to align with crowd control that your Warrior/Guardian are putting out and play with a good amount of space while you wait for them to create those windows.
Personally I started the game playing Kumbhakarna and got him to rank 10, even though I'm not a tank player now and immediately became a Jungle/ADC player afterwards. I do think starting with a tankier role is good because you're allowed more margin for error, and they're really good and do a ton of damage as well. Although a recent patch makes them much less tanky than they have been for previous years. I don't remember if there is a trophy for getting a character to rank 10, but if there is I HIGHLY recommend grinding your favorite character to rank 10 before jumping around to a ton of different characters- I feel this gives you a much deeper understanding of what a classes role is and what items may be good on them, while getting a look at what it's like to play against so many other characters so you know who you might want to play next. Oh and for the penta-kill achievement you probably want to play full crit + bloodforge ADC in arena, or bloodforge Thanatos, for the 5 with one ability I believe Bakasura, Vamana, Scylla, Achillies are the easiest. Good luck on the platinum!
Thanks dude!
It’s so funny because another 50 hours into smite and my opinion has massively changed. I love Guardians now. They might be my favourite class. And because what you said, there is much more room for mistakes with them as they don’t pop after one hit haha
Thanks for watching dude
Great video friendo! Good luck with the plat, looks like a grind 😬
Thanks man! It is but I’m getting there and still loving it haha
@@PlatinumBro that's awesome to hear! It'll be an Impressive Plat once you get it 😊
Smite is my favorite game ever i'm actually getting tired of it after playing for hours a day every day for years I have completed every trophy except final form that has to be the hardest trophy in existence. I love seeing newbs trying to play glad to see you enjoying it. I love how all your footage is you just missing all your abilities lmao its painful to watch
I think you can get final form if you kill enemy gods with the same ability in a single life. I got mine with Scyllas Crush
I get why it’s your favourite, it’s one of mine now haha
The reason Loki is so hated by the community is because its a very beginner god. It seems no matter what, new players gravitate towards Loki.
he does seem quite easy to pick up tbf
@@PlatinumBro He was worse years back, they changed his ult and 3rd ability to be less instant damage and more spread out as well because he’s such a single target god it made playing against him a nightmare as any non-tank.
@@PlatinumBro Used to be nightmare fuel to hear the puff of a Loki in the distance
The reason Loki is so hated is because of the stealth and the ease to one shot
There's also the dreaded "Loki main"
Someone who plays the objective focused game mode, then never plays the objective. Just goes for kills, which only ever works if your team is ahead, if you're behind they essentially turn the game into a 4v5
This video is so awesome to watch. I have around 4500 hours in the game and it’s always so cool to see a new perspective. You’re also picking up things pretty quickly. Also if you want to play a guardian that does more damage, I would highly recommend Atlas and Cerberus. These 2 do a lot of damage and are relatively safe because they have a dash/leap. Good luck on the battleground of the gods my friend!
I'd pick atlas since he's a better support he's really bad into bachus or other knockup immune supports though
+3500 hours and still missing the trophy of killing the fire giant like a few minutes after it spawns
Edit: dont worry, we all were a loki main at one point in our smite career :)
Hahahahahahhaha amazing, glad others can relate. I haven’t played Loki since this video 😂 been playing Wu Kong, Bellona & Bacchus
From someone’s who’s played smite for over 7 years this was interesting to watch. You did a good job explaining the roles and learning how conquest is so complex. I started on console as well. The skill ceiling is ridiculous on PC. Still an awesome game with amazing skins.
hey thanks man glad you think so! it was so hard to try and break it down without making it confusing but also explaining that is the most complicate multiplayer game on console hahaha
As the resident wolf of our discord, I respectfully request the wolf skin for Artio.
Xxxxxx got an ice one which may be a Wolf one as well ha
Been playing since the ps4 beta and im still mising 6 i think. Huge props for trying this.
as a guy with well over 5000 hours in this game and hearing this stuff from a new player perspective feels like came a long way and the fact people are still coming on the game i love/hate keeping it alive cause it hard to forgot 5000 hours of gameplay knowledge see it from a blank slate
After i started playing smite around 2 or so years ago i was glad i had friends to help me with it. After a year of playing I realized how many achievements there are. And I barley knocked any of them off but i moved to playing it on pc after I got one. The difference between M&K and controllers is just crazy.
Honestly, Kudos for sticking with the game in the rough first parts. I remember my first time playing this game on the Xbox with the release of Ah Puch and getting told to uninstall for how bad I was. It can be a rough time in a MOBA continuously losing and banter from teammates and enemies alike in post game lobbies can seriously dampen the experience further. For all its faults, I still hold this game close to my heart even if I take extended breaks and get frustrated with it
thanks man, yeah the community really can be rough a lot of the time
That gilga and bellona clips actually gave me chills bro😮💨
Good stuff bro keep it going I believe🫡
hahahahaha thanks man
Ive played smite everyday since the beta around 11 years ago. Im glad you stuck around the game is difficult yes but i feel like the fun kinda overshadows it lol. Ive hit masters a handul of times and basically the number one thing you wanna do is stick to meta builds and experiment as least as possible with builds and focus more on positition, playing better, and game IQ. Also knowing what the items do is very important. I would love to help in your journey I play pretty much daily. Awesome video btw!
I’m glad there’s still people who can get into the game now and enjoy it. It’s definitely difficult to get into but the only way to maintain it is for people to be friendly with new players like you.
Yeah man, maybe when I start playing ranked I’ll change but it’s about fun right hahaha. I do get why it’s so toxic because of how one bad player can ruin a game for you ha
Been hooked for three years. Prior to Smite was an FPS gamer with 5k hrs in CSGO and another 5k on a variety of other shooters. The never ending challenge of improvement is what has kept me coming back.
The community was insufferable for my first two years and still can be. If it wasn't for the terrible culture this game would have likely been much more successful as the gameplay and depth is fantastic.
You can use worshiper boosts just before the game launches to master gods faster.
Yeah I was but ran out. You don’t get many. 3-4 per month pass
Brother you can get achievements from medium co-op arena and conquest mode. That’s the only was I was able to get Cupid heartbomb achievement 😂
can you! no way!
omg i remember you streaming this a few weeks ago and hopping into a few arena matches with you (Paradisin @ 7:10 & 10:20 - sadly the NA/EU server ping diff was rough), but I'm surprised you kept with it and stuck it out enough to make this video. Good luck with the grind to the platinum trophy!! I feel the struggle, I've been trying to get all the Steam achievements for this game for so long now and I'm still only at 279/319 (87%) but its all god-specific ones now at least
I gave up on trying to get every achievement long ago due to how impossible some are, but a couple months ago I finally got every single god to diamond rank, which honestly I feel is way more satisfying.
300+ hrs after and I'm 2 trophies away from my platinum, and looking for people that will help me and get them aswell... It's Golden Greed and Flaming Speed. Would appreciate a lot the help, been looking everywhere for help and nothing 😔 it can take 15 minutes to get both trophies. And GL on your Trophy Hunting ;)
i'm sure we could sort something out, add me on discord or message me on psn/twitter and we can discuss
@PlatinumBro I will! I'd gladly appreciate it ;)
As someone who has the platinum on this game. I’m wishing you massive amounts of luck on your journey I know the amount of dedication needed for this one and even after I was done with my journey on it I still had no idea what the f**k I was doing on it 😂
Pahahahahahahaha I’m so happy to hear that. I’m 170 hours in and I don’t have a clue wtf I’m doing
Well done though man
@@PlatinumBro it’s just one them games that’s so fun to play yet takes years to learn/master but always changes since patches always change how things work.
Thank you!
sending you massive amounts of luck on your journey hoping to see a part two soon! ❤️ I have a feeling you’ll be having a much better understanding on how things work than I ever will 😂
That was super interesting to watch! I've been playing Smite since January 2014 and even played quite a lot in ranked games. It is very hard to introduce new people into this game, congratz for having enough patience and dedication, glad you enjoyed the journey
Thanks man! sounds like you started your journey only 4-5 months before mine haha Addicted? I am a bit.
@@PlatinumBro I meant January 2014, my bad lmao!
@@PlatinumBro I've got about 6-7k hours into the game, I still play occasionally but not as much as before. I used to spend way too much time on it, and then we age and can't do that anymore :p
You chose a hell of a time to try smite, going into smite 2 with a bunch of patch reverts has kept the game in a less balanced/more fun state, which I can imagine you don’t really feel this early in the game.
hahahaha yeah a weird time but now I can jump into smite 2 when it launches next month :)
Ullr being called Earl is now something I am required to do lmao. Glad to see you playing smite, I've played this game for 10 years now and it has been a blast, keep it up!
Pahahahaha Earl just sounds better hahaha.
Dropped off a bit but hyped for smite 2 alpha next week!
@@PlatinumBro As am I, glad to have you in the community Hirez needs to promote more newer player content like yours!
I hope you enjoyed the game! Thanks for playing and highlighting Smite
Still playing it now! So hyped for smite 2!
@@PlatinumBro hell yeah!!
I didnt click this video the first times it popped up. Im glad I finally did though. Great video
thanks man
I’ve been playing smite on console since 2016 and only in February of 2024 I unlocked my last trophy (final form) it was never my interest to get the platinum trophy but just by playing the game for fun this is how long it took me to get the platinum, worth to mention that I probably have over 10k hours in smite, a game I enjoyed playing for the past 8 years
Love seeing new players in the game! I have over 5k hrs in SMITE and am a bit of a junky as ive hit high ranks in Joust, Duel, and Conquest. Ive got over 17k worshipers on a single god with over 70 at diamond. I have recently got 3 new players hooked on the game, so I definatly know there are other newbies out there hitting the grind with you. Best of luck to ya!
thanks man :D
Been playing Smite since season 2 and i'm still TERRIFIED of conquest lmao. I used to try and learn the meta from streamers but nowadays there's just not many i enjoy anymore and i'm also not an aggresive player so i just get very anxious (leftover from all the toxicity back when i wasn't very good). I'm an arena warrior through and through.
It is great seeing people still getting into the game and learning to enjoy it as it has been a massive part of my life, so thank you for this vid!
(also good getting confirmation that the game may not be as easy as some people make it out to be, it helps heal my insecure inner child who got absolutely thrashed all those years ago)
Honestly, the only way you can say this game is easy is if you have played 500 hours of a MOBA. Otherwise everyone is just chatting BS
I'm glad I found you through this. This reminds me of when I tried to platinum it for a week, and still had about 4 or 5 trophies left. I gave up and just play for fun now. 3000 hours later and I just log in for fun. I'd help you out if you still want to go for it
Glad you enjoyed it dude! I might not get the platinum trophy but I am a smite fan for life now and I play it almost every day
Hearing a new voice saying so many good things about a game too many like to harshly criticize is so refreshing! Smite has many flaws and it's about to be replaced by its sequel, but it's the first and only moba that managed to make me fall in love. That has to count for something! Listening to a new player singing the praises to a game I love despite all its flaws put a smile on my face :) hope you'll stick around, friend!
glad you found it refreshing :D
I enjoy it alot, i think online mobas are always going to have toxicity just due to how integral teamwork truly is with them
One thing you may not have noticed while playing ares is that if you hit his chain ability, you can do it again up to 3 times. It's his biggest damage source, but only if you use all 3. It does damage over time, so hitting multiple people or waiting a second before the next chain does MASSIVE damage, more than some mages.
He’s a beast. Thanks for letting me know
Tips to new/intermediate players from a s1 5k hr player:
1.) Switching your casting type to instant cast in controls is a learning curve but makes a night and day difference it ability casting speed
2.) Strafing and attacking slow you down so time your attacks for when your close enough to secure the kill and not be to slow to miss the kill.
3.) Auto attack canceling is basic attacking then as soon as you see the damage number cast and ability then when you see that damage number basic attack again this allows you to cancel the ability animation therefore allowing you to get more damage in quicker
4.) Work on foot work dodging attack is just as important as hitting them you cant fight if your dead move side to side or just turn around and move straight to avoid the movement penalty for strafing. Stop basic attacking for a moment so you’ll have enough speed to dodge
5.) Avoid body blocking your team you can cause them to get hit by abilities when they try to dodge.Do body block the enemy team if your a tank to protect teammates or to prevent them from running when your team is attacking.
6.Playing from behind when your losing dont just surrender farm more xp a one level difference is huge in this game minion waves give more xp than jungle camps dont steal to much of your teammates farm tho. Kill major objective fire giant can turn a game around us wards if you keep getting ganked,gold fury gives alotta xp and gold.Try ganking the enemy teams top frag when you are on a killing spree you get a gold and xp bounty on your head those that kill you gain almost the same lvl you are plus about 600 gold
7).BEADS AND AEGIS ARE S TIER RELICS AS A SQUISHY YOU SHOULD ALMOST ALWAYS BUY THEM IS YOUR KIT DOESNT HAVE CC IMMUNITY
thanks so much for the advice my dude!
I'm honestly surprised you jumped in raw without looking up any videos on high level tutorials especially in conquest. I think even in game there are high level overview tutorial videos that explain the game mode in depth further. But also just RUclips videos on simple things like finish leveling one ability before leveling another, or what gods are the "easiest" to play. Merlin being one of the hardest gods with the stance switching. It was Soo cool to watch this whole video though! 😊
Hahaha I know right. I had played one game of LoL and thought I was a pro
I have been playing this game for about 5 to 6 years now and I have to say I have never had more rage and more anger in my heart for this game in my life, but I cannot stop playing it
hahahahah im only 250 hours in and i 100% get that
@@PlatinumBro by the way, bro just a little piece of advice with the people in this game just don’t pay attention to them one of the most toxic fans you will ever meet. Good luck, bro
Smite is still one of my all time favorite games. Even after 1000s of hours, I still enjoy learning new stuff. Good on ya trying to get the achievements!
It’s trying into one of my favs too!
@@PlatinumBro And soon, 24/7 Alpha Smite 2 starts. It'll be even better! (Once they work out the kinks and bugs.)
Don't feel stupid man. You had fun and did great! Alot of people take it to serious but it's all about having fun ya know?
thanks man! I 100% agree
9000+ hours on smite here. Top 10 supp and guardian main ( Fafnir being my best ) and it honestly feels good having my favorite game get recognized
I have played this game since it got released and have over 3k hours in it. It does get frustrating from time to time but I alwasy find myself coming back. Its a very addicting game once u understand it and it has a learning curve
it's so addictive but my god is the learning curve steep
I started playing this when they announced the transformers collaboration, it is very fun but don't think I could ever plat it 😭 congrats man
(Also shout out to My Hero Ultra Rumble 😉)
Yeah it’s great but insanely hard, I probably won’t plat it since I’ll be playing smite 2 very soon
As a smite veteran who played since 2012... entertaining video :)
thanks dude :)
very cool video! thanks for giving some attention on a game that deserves way more ❤
glad you enjoyed it! and thanks dude
Joust is probably the mode thats the sweatiest and arguablly most popular for competition . Smite is a game you probably need to play a whole year to scratch diamond lobbies in conquest and joust : and then a whole another level to get higher than that
Seeing you not level your ult when you unlocked it made me understand why you feel embarrassed lol. Its awesome to watch someone elses smite journey, i forgot what it was like
Hahahaha that and so many other reasons
@@PlatinumBro hope you come back to it again sometime in the future, even if it's not achievement hunting! Best wishes
I’ve played league of legends for 10 years now and don’t think I’ve ever killed an entire enemy team with one ability. That is an insane achievement.
It really is ridic
This was a really fun watch. I really enjoy teaching new players the game and the idea of working torwards a specific goal is fun. Might be joining the Kendom, atleast with an alt.
thanks man! the more the merrier
As a smite pro who plays Geb as their main I have one thing to say to you my friend and that is every single game is somewhat similar. Adc, Sup, Mid, Jg and solo. What spices up the gameplay is the gods you and your enemies pick plus what build you are using for your desired god. Smite is hard to get into and say unto because of its toxic community. If you really like the way smite works than dont let other people ruin the experience for you.
What's your ign
Thanks man, that’s such positive great advice 🫡✌🏻
Mans picked all the difficult gods to play😂 picking the morrigan was daring to say the least lol. Great vid
hahahahaha i honestly just picked them on who looked the coolest
There's an unfortunately large number of achievements that are simply impossible now because of god reworks. For example Erlang Shen was only just recently reverted to be able to knock people up with his dash again and theres an achievement that required that.
Also despite the community's "moba mentality" for lack of a better term a surprising number of players are actually willing to work with, and teach, new players.
Also the guy talking about the savage control layout is correct from what I know but I play almost all keyboard and mouse.
Also you can do tricks with the skateboard on the TMNT skins by jumping while in the special emote.
Always good to see new players out there and play as much loki as you'd like lol people hate on him way less since his rework a few years back.
Hey thanks for the info. Thankfully, a lot of the achievements never translated over to trophies, mainly the god specific ones
Wow, I played smite since 2014. Still don’t have all achievements, love your determination though! As you learn all the gods and understand the game more guardians become more fun. Love the vid and goodluck!
thanks Thomas :)
Smite is the only MOBA I play and I've been playing it since BETA. It does have an insanely difficult learning curve, but once you do start getting good at the game it's SO satisfying.
it's so funny because people who haven't played this game just do not get how hard it is hahaha
@@PlatinumBro Truly! There's so much to keep track of and much like you said in the video, you need pretty in depth knowledge on movement, maps, and all the gods and items in the game in order to actually be effective. You've also gotta have some pretty insane reaction timings if you want to live longer than a minute at a time lmao
If you want to level your game up some more on how to build and play your gods, content creators like Intersect and Weaken are a great place to go!
Yeah intersect does good helpful videos tbf. Weakens videos are too click bait for me.
The only guide you need for x god (jokes it’s just a stream highlight) 😒
I have over a thousand hours in smite
I will say I do enjoy guardians you can build them to do high damage, a lot of items can help you reduce damage taken from magical and physical that also help you do tick damage or even give you some more burst damage. So stacking certain items allow you to do tick damage (damage over time) boosting the lack of damage some guardians have. Some gods, like aries passive building items that give auras will increase his damage and if you use his chains successfully, you can use it 3 times and then use your fire you can pump out a lot of damage. I would definitely read into some of there passives and see what goes hand in hand with there kit!
My opinion has 100% changed since this video hahah. I really like playing guardians as ‘bruisers’ rather than full tanks. Unless I’m Bacchus, then I just go full tank haha
I have a lot of hours in this game and it was incredibly painful for me to watch but I'm glad that new people are actually starting to enjoy the game just like I did! The more you play the more you learn!
Hahahaha yeah I love it so much :D
Man I wish I could've somehow helped you with this endeavor. You say that you don't like the guardians but you like warriors and you like solo lane, I would've told you to just play guardians in the solo lane. There are so many that are really fun and pretty damn effective in the solo lane. To name a few that I think are a lot of fun, there's Ymir of course, Kuzenbo, Cthulu who's amazing fun in solo, Bake Kujira who's also hilarious in solo, Artio is great in solo, Cabrakan can solo or even Jungle, Geb is a very deceiving character for beginners. Geb can solo, his main role is support, but you'd think of Geb as a hard support character who only exists to buff his team with the shields, but honestly, I find the most success with him building him hybrid/bruiser and playing VERY aggressive with him. He's an absolute menace to squishies, and it does feel awesome to save a teammate with the shield, but it's ok to just shield yourself too.
The top two hardest trophies, imo, is the one where you have to kill 5 enemies with one ability. There's a way to cheese that trophy! Idk if it still works, but used to, Ullr's stance swap was considered an ability. So you would swap stance, and all you had to do was kill 5 enemies without dying and without using any other abilities, and if you did that then the game would register it as 5 kills with one ability, granting you the trophy. If not, then Scylla ult is your best bet.
The other difficult trophy is one that's a lot easier in a 5-stack or if the enemy team has a DC, and that trophy is killing the Fire Giant within one minute of it spawning. FG spawns at 10:00, if you have your team help you get this trophy, it's really not that hard because the enemies never suspect someone to try killing FG at 10:00. But it does help a lot if they have a DC, I've helped dozens of people get that trophy.
Probably the longest comment ever but dude, I've loved watching this! Brings back so many nostalgic memories of how it was for me learning this game. Glad to see that you're enjoying it and having a positive attitude towards the game. Good on you brother.
i'm still working on it bro!
thanks for the advice!
my opinion has changed lately, I have been loving guardians! atlas and terra are just awesome!
this was awesome watch been playing smite over 7 yrs and you picked it up pretty well. but entire time you were talking about hating the guardians but liking the warriors I thought why doesn't he play a guardian like a warrior in the solo I do it all the time
I’ve started doing that and it’s so much fun ha
ngl I reckon if I hopped on a new account I could probably get all trophies in like 10/15 hours (barring ones that require more by nature of e.g. having to be level 30) but because you're a new player, learning will obviously add many hours into the game. Love seeing new players coming to the game. Also gotta shoutout the fact you like Poseidon, he's my favourite god and carried me into top 100 world back when I played. Seems we enjoy the same types of characters. I think many people underestimate just how difficult this game is, cause they think it's like a casual version of League, which yeah, kinda, but just cause it's more casual doesn't make it easier, especially at a higher level.
If you REALLY struggle with some achievements like getting 5 kills with 1 ability I can give you a cheesy way to get it, you might not like it since it's kinda cheap and exploitative but at the same time it's incredibly difficult to get under normal circumstances, especially since matchmaking pairs you with players around your level..
70 gods to 100 worshippers is still a 100 hour grind though, but the rest yeah you probs could hahah
yeah tell me the cheat way hahaha
@@PlatinumBro Not sure why but my comment got deleted, I'll dm you on discord on how to do it. Also yeah, I meant achievements that are hard but not time consuming. Things like 70 god masteries would obviously take a while.
Very fun video to watch, i died a bit inside every time I saw a small mistake but still was a great watch ;)
Really cool vid, i got almost 4k hours in the game and i like playing support, try using chthullu with a hybrid build and he will feel like a warrior and its really fun becoming giant and beating everyone.
Played smite for a long time. I’m the same way with most games where I play the high DPS characters. I actually found that guardians can be fun depending on how you build them. Rather than building Ymir to be very tanky, just build him with different items so he is a glass cannon.
Almost every god can become a glass cannon. And when the guardian class is built differently, they can be the most fun!
i have been loving the guardians lately tbf! big change of opinion
Can’t imagine going for the triple kill with cupid heart bomb and one shot with kuku health is way too high to oneshot anyone ancient achievement
6/13 is a genuinely really good score for a first ever conquest game. Some like 6+ year veterans get that score often!
Also, I get not liking guardians so much, but there are some that are very aggro and also, you don't have to build protection on them. Some gods, like Cabrakan, are immense fun when built full damage/glass cannon. People call him 'Fat Loki' for a reason, because his burst is wild.
thanks man.
A lot has changed since this video, I mainly play solo or support these days and I love Terra, she is one of my fav characters to use now
Hey man. I'd suggest looking up some builds for the gods you like to play. If I had one other suggestion it would be to try to support you team as much as possible. Being by yourself is typically a bad idea. When you are near teammates you can play off their crowd control abilities making it easier to hit your own abilities.
It`s nice to see new players like the game.
Good luck on your journey!
Thanks man ✌🏻🫡
