Can anyone explain to me how to unlock his ult. I've gone whole 20 min arena match and never got to use it but see opponents use it early in game. Am I missing something
My friend played morrigan while I played heim so we double ulted a merlin. He ulted merlin as soon as hit landed the first time and I couldn't stop laughing LMAO
I've found that maxing the 1 feels a lot more potent, as it does crazy burst early game, allows you to continually auto attack (his autos being his best tool), and he clears well enough without maxing the 2. I mainly end up using the 2 for cc, and clear/burst with the autos and 1. I even value the reduced CD on the 3 a lot of the time, though thats mainly because I enjoy crazy tp plays.
You make such informative a quality videos man. I've been watching you since you started and I've been in and out of smite but everytime I come back I find myself watching your videos to get back up to speed. Keep up the work
As does everyone else even if they can't play hunters.....gotta love getting carry role and idiots still auto locking him in every other role while playing him poorly lol
@@FadeToBlood I know man I've called out and reported so many people for not playing intended role already due to this god. They bitch saying oh he's new but then I see some idiot bringing him in starting with asi and it's like great now you have zero power on an ability heavy god and you can't land basics. If you want to learn him go auto lock him in arena. Keep off of him in conq and joust if you don't have the role or can't play the god well
@@Cloud-kf2dp oh I agree but the issue is you should let the role they are primarily in choose to select him or not. I used to play jorm jungle a lot and do amazing with him but I would wait until both support and solo picked first in case they wanted to play him. People aren't thinking oh he's good in the jungle, they're thinking they're entitled to play the god wherever as long as they lock him in and that shouldn't be the case. Apparently hi rez doesn't think so either cuz I've gotten a few "an action has been taken against them" messages lately as well. I won't even play wierd off picks in the jungle that have been out forever until that mage/solo/ or hunter has picked their god. It's just having courtesy. And I'd rather see a hunter in the hands of someone that plays hunters rather than someone who plays other roles and just wants to snag him to play him poorly every game they go in.
It's just the ult, so it's definitely not terrible. Just figured it was worth mentioning. There are of course alternatives like Breastplate or Shifters, but nothing that fully replaces Void.
Void shield worked for me as well. For magical protections, I usually include runic shield or something with dual protections. I’ve always been an easy target without them, but I’m still not used to using his eacape
Played him very little and until I get used to the bi frost I feel the need to buy an additional movement speed to help close in and get away from enemies
Lol I get a real quick out of using his ult, feel like I’m knocking a ball out of the park. It’s such a good ability for saving your teammates when they are in a pinch.
I've been building him Bruiser (because Bruisin' Cab is my fav meme) and he seems to do well if you know how to effectively use the 3. I just start Warrior's Blessing with Berserker Shield, Ninja Tabi, and Blackthorn as Core and protection/hybrid items as needed. Hope the nerfs doesn't make it so Bruiser Heimdallr is trash 😤😫 Edit: Dunno if the nerfs from DukeSloth's earlier vid is already on Live because those nerfs were stated during PTS
I don't like Asi on Ability Hunters, either Bloodforge or Soul Eater depending on what effects I want. His 3 would probably get a video all its own given the many ways it can be used. Either Warrior or Ninja Tabi depending on how much Attack Speed gotten from other items.
Without void shield as a bruiser, where do you get your pen from? Do you build one of the blades which gives HP and Pen? Forgot the name, sorry. Also, wasnt sure if Frostbound does activate the effect of Runeforged, so great info there, as well! Edit: Also, was testing him out in Solo lane with the usual starter item + Potions into Berserkers Shield and Ninja Tabi, with this your sustain is pretty decent and you can clear pretty well with basic attacks, too. After that it gets kind of tricky for me, tried some hybrid builds with Runeshield/Ancile and Void Shield for pen, but noticed a big fall off towards late game. But I guess thats kind of normal for most solo lane builds, and the damage was still enough to bully the main damage dealers of the enemy team. Just expected a little more damage, I guess, but the tankyness was almost the same as most warriors I usually play.
Would you recommend to start stacking transcendence within the first two items? Is it worthwhile to do it later? I usually play joust and I always find Heimdallr a bit squishy if I go for transcendence in the beginning so I usually go for void shield then runic shield or asi depending on if I need to worry about the mage. The stats for transcendence seem great, but I haven’t been able to get it to work on Heimdallr
I kinda would liked to have gotten some stats on him with soul eater. Not a meta item I know but going down the ability based side, seems like it could be a good pick.
I find it somewhat hard to justify because Asi is such a beastly item for him, even in an ability based build due to the flat pen. And a lot of more advanced mechanics with Hydra's also work better when you have a little bit of AS and Asi is perfect for that. I tested Soul eater with the most broken version of his ult and the result in terms of self-heal was very underwhelming. That said, the lifesteal with the 2 against a full wave or in a teamfight could be interesting. Will include that in the more advanced mechanics vid.
Has someone kept up with the smite lore? Because I haven’t and I have no idea what’s currently going on Maybe Dukesloth could do a summary of the smite lore
Persephone is tryna overthrow the pantheons of gods so that the humans can be free of their tyranny. Baron Samedi, Yemoja, Hera and a few others are trying to stop her. She came to Norse lands and Heimdallr stepped in to stop her too.
@@diogopereira1475 Sol has good self peel but Heimdallr has a passive that helps with seeing rotations Has a sword ward for 10 seconds Has a knockup to self peel Has an uninterruptable teleport (minus knockups) And has a banish ult that is also a long dash if needed. His whole kit can counter ganks
Some small useful tips; When using the 3 to escape, along with pre-placing the escape portal, preemptively using beads can stop enemies from ccing you out of the tp. When using the 3 for long tps (such as base to lane) you should still be micromanaging the 3 as a ward using the line. E.g. in mid lane, cross it diagonally across the mid lane for insane vision. After ulting, you should set up your attack chain to the 1.5 attack as they land, along with setting up your 1 to land, utilising the ring effect in the landing location for timing.
I have an idea... Just imagine Ichival, Frost bound hammer, and Witch Blade while activating his 2 in a DUEL 1v1 game mode. Literally no one can out auto him lol. If you wanna be extra scummy add Mid guardian mail. Keep in mine you still have room for 2 more items
Was "cleave autos" should have reduce or non effect while using frostbound and berserk shield. I tested and he can splash-apply frostbound on multiple enemies if there are really close and berserk shield is so OP on him on Solo lane.
On PTS, the secondary targets of Berserkers already had the reduced heal, that's part of the item. Pretty sure that's still the case. As for Frostbound, I don't see that as a major issue. How often are you really gonna have multiple enemies close enough for that to affect them?
@@DukeSloth on the other hand, he was supposed to be warrior but as PonPon said he is in Hunter class so he wont abuse GK and HK. Anyway is valiable to build him as a bruiser? Like Shield build?
Yes it is, I've seen many successful heim solos already. However I believe his true strength shines with this full power build. You can hit upwards of 1k with no crit late game and can hit Phoenix for anywhere from 300 to 650 an auto depending on buffs
Idk if you'll see this but I'm curious Fairly often when channeling the 2 I've found that if you try to do pretty much anything right after the final blast it will glitch out a bit. I've had the 1 reset, I've had basics ghost out and then desync, and the most frustrating is on more than one occasion I knock the enemy up and line up my ult but when I use it after dashing into them I immediately teleport back to wherever I had started. It always throws me off and I've lost more than one fight that should've been mine but I didnt think to compensate for it. Curious your thoughts on it and if you've even seen it at all in your own games. All I know is I give myself half a sec after the blast to do anything anymore cause it is incredibly frustrating.
I've tested the 2+ult combo a ton and never had the issue you described. What do you mean by the 1 resetting though? The desync basic attack happens every single time, it's because the animation of ending the 2 is so long and it overwrites everything else. It never ghosted for me though, that might be a ping issue.
DukeSloth it's only happened once in my memory so it was likely ping, but basically what happened was that I knocked someone back with the 2 and then clicked to bring up the 1 and did the animation but no sword went up and when I reclicked to call it down wondering what would happen I redid the animation this time actually throwing the sword up and then a second later it called itself down where I had targeted on it's own. Probably ping it just confused me super bad. Im glad the autos desync is normal though so I'm not crazy lol the thing getting me the most though is the ult followup cause that's happened more than once even in the same game where I use it right after the knock up and when I run into them i immediately just skip back to where i started as if nothing had even happened. This irritated me the most when in a match i was in a fight against a fellow Heimdallr and we were both pretty low, both had our ults up, and both had our beads down. Essentially whoever ulted the other first won. When I managed to activate and early cancel my 2 on him and lined up my ult, confirming the win. But when I hit him I reset as described and then when he landed on the ground immediately ulted me instead and killed me. I'm not sure what exactly causes it or if its ping, especially if you've never had it. But I've had it multiple times across multiple matches. Big fan btw kind of ecstatic you replied lol
For a god who is all seeing Heimdallr is rather good at obfuscating, This isn't a good thing, other gods tells(even on your own side) are being blocked from vision with the clutter this god is bringing to the maps.
I've been really enjoying him. Personally, I'm a bigger fan of Devo's on him so far over Trans, in the duo lane atleast. From a raw numbers perspective, I'd love to pick Trans. But it's very easy for other enemy hunters to successfuly box and outpressure him, as his 1 doesn't hit hard without said Trans, he has no mobility in the 1v1, and his ult is very easy to beads. It's super punishing to Heim too when they beads, as he'll be locked in the swing animation and will probably take up to 2 autos before he can reply. Because of this, and ontop of the fact a large majority of your damage will be from your autos, I think it makes much more sense picking up Devos (or waiting for Bloodforge). Trans is likely a far better option for him when playing Mid I reckon. Double lifesteal is for sure viable, or you can go into standard pen/crit builds. Even if O-Bow doesn't scale properly, it still is likely going to be your highest team fight damage item, so I would still probably be picking it up in pen builds. I've tried both ability and basic attack based, but I just think he does more for the team when you build for autos rather than ability damage.
Raelyn if you play duo why not start warriors blessing rush b shield Go ninja tabi Exe axe Frost bound Runforge Then flex your last item Personally I’ve yet to be out boxed by any other person playing him gives you health sustain and a lot of physical power I don’t think there’s a better way to play him with how he works as a tanky hunter so far it’s my personal preference and he still hits super hard and with those items your a warrior with hunter damage stats give it try just a friendly suggestion Forge my recent games @Informationals on Xbox or pc :)
Not really a fan of that build. I'd only go a build like that if I was playing Solo, and I don't think he's a good Solo laner either. He should be played Duo or Mid. Heimdallr already has somewhat lackluster clear, going warriors will guarantee that you're going to be outfarmed by the enemy ADC. Yeah you'll be a bit more tanky and resistant to poke, but your damage is just gonna be nonexistent. Hunters Blessing is just more practical. Berserkers is a decent item if you're playing Solo I suppose, but the item is problematic for Hunters in the way it just fucks with both your power and gold curve. When you hit late game you are going to be very behind other players in terms of damage output because you built it. You'll be out 1700 gold, which is a big deal. You're far better off thinking about your build for the whole game by buying something like Devos, Bloodforge or Asi if you want sustain. Frostbound is niche and I don't rate it for Heimdallr really. You're better off getting some actual power or pen online. Honestly, I think Tanky Heimdallr is just not worth it. If you're going to be tanky, you want to be in their face disrupting them. Heim can ult one guy sure, and do a knockup. That's about it. And he's never going to be anywhere near as tanky or annoying as a proper Warrior or Guardian, so what's the point? You might as well make use of him being a Hunter and go for max damage.
i love buidling verry high power, with high attack speed. Transcendence-ninja tabi- shifter's shield- Odysseus' Bow- Bloodforge- Toxic blade,wind demon or fail-not- and then switch ninja tabi in for heartseeker. This build makes you do big chuncky damage, even the Odysseus' Bow procs hurt like hell.
When someone uses beads before the launch on Heim's ult, the launch doesn't proc because its a displacement which is prevented by beads. In a similar effect, Heim's ult is useless against anyone who has inherent or ability varient displace prevention. For example, Jormungandr, being tethered to the ground at all times, is uneffected entirely by Heim's ult. It is not worth leveling immidieatly if the enemy has a lot of beef, because you certainly dont want to be in their face, and there is a good chance it wont proc.
Hey y’all! New player, maybe two weeks in. I think I want to try this god. This question is more broad, on ps4 can you preset the skills so they level the way this guide suggests or how I want to do it? Thanks.
CJ Garcia thank you for that tip. One more. If I want boots, the Tabi ones. Or whatever item I want, and it’s more advanced does the game auto progress the item? Basic shield to the more advanced item I want?
Maxing the 3 second in solo seems to work pretty well. Obviously it's situational, but if you're pushing up far from your tower, it works really well to just have a bifrost at your tower and then be ready to teleport back to it as soon as their jungler pops up.
I think it depends a lot on the matchup and how much you can outclear. The other issue with it that every rotation you make to another lane pre level 20 is gonna be weaker as your abilities do less. If you purely focus on farming up asap and don't intend to leave your lane, I can see it working, but many games don't go that way.
@@DukeSloth Yeah it's definitely matchup dependent and jungler dependent. If you can pressure without the extra damage on the 1 or 2 right away, you can get away with it in lane. And if their jungler is focusing you, 1. You won't be in a position to rotate much anyway and 2. You might need the cooldown to survive ganks. As a hunter solo, those two things aren't uncommon. The main takeaway is that any levelling order is good for certain situations, which is good design.
ABYSS those, except for trans, worked for me as well. Now, I typically include ninja tabi, asi, and heartseeker while including situational items for protections and health as needed. Maybe I’m just unlucky, but he’s been kind of squishy for me as everyone seems to always target me so I usually need a tankier build
@@aperkins07 been trying to get better with him as well and his biggest drawback is how squishy he is along with his lack of ability to get away from fights assuming the 3 ability isnt viable at that moment
RIGHT? He just deletes. Idk why people are like, "YoU kNoW hE dEaLs ReDuCeD cRiT, rIgHt?" And Im just like, "You know he deals x1.3 damage on his first two autos, and then x1.5 damage on his third, right?" lmfao you just get more damage in the end, especially with death bringer, and, of course, rage. lmfao
Doesn’t he technically not do less crit dam because his basic combos do 30 percent more dam innately also the final swing does 50 percent more so DOESNT he do more damn with crit on the last hit
Well, damage-wise, the crit ends up around the same or higher per hit, but DPS-wise you lose out significantly. I did a brief numbers breakdown on that here: www.reddit.com/r/Smite/comments/e5grvp/heimdallr_the_nordic_god_of_yeet_early_god/f9k4vyh/ I think the main reason for the lowered scaling is because an amplified third crit basic with Hydra's and Deathbringer would otherwise lead to absurd single hit crit dmg. If haven't done the numbers for Deathbringer specifically, but I know it's doesn't suffer from the penalty. Will look into it for the in-depth mechanics guide
Gonna have to test to make sure, but was playing as morg and ulted someone as heim and they got glitched out of the map and never came back.
You ever hit someone so hard their birth certificate just say no?
My friend did that once they eventually died via suicide we don't know how though
A chronos ulted and ended up back in my ult and it said he killed himself
I really hope they change the way one works so you don’t have to cancel after the original cast.

For a god who is all seeing Heimdallr is rather good at obfuscating, This isn't a good thing, other gods tells(even on your own side) are being blocked from vision with the clutter this god is bringing to the maps.
There is a bug with him but no one from hirez has gotten back to me so I don’t know if they’re aware of it 😭
Report it to one of the Olympians!
Can you inform me on how to do that please 😂
No mention of the stupid scaling on the 2? 200% scaling with all ticks which isnt hard to hit unless its interrupted
I've been really enjoying him.
Personally, I'm a bigger fan of Devo's on him so far over Trans, in the duo lane atleast. From a raw numbers perspective, I'd love to pick Trans. But it's very easy for other enemy hunters to successfuly box and outpressure him, as his 1 doesn't hit hard without said Trans, he has no mobility in the 1v1, and his ult is very easy to beads. It's super punishing to Heim too when they beads, as he'll be locked in the swing animation and will probably take up to 2 autos before he can reply. Because of this, and ontop of the fact a large majority of your damage will be from your autos, I think it makes much more sense picking up Devos (or waiting for Bloodforge). Trans is likely a far better option for him when playing Mid I reckon.
Double lifesteal is for sure viable, or you can go into standard pen/crit builds. Even if O-Bow doesn't scale properly, it still is likely going to be your highest team fight damage item, so I would still probably be picking it up in pen builds.
I've tried both ability and basic attack based, but I just think he does more for the team when you build for autos rather than ability damage.
Raelyn if you play duo why not start warriors blessing
rush b shield
Go ninja tabi
Exe axe
Frost bound
Runforge
Then flex your last item
Personally I’ve yet to be out boxed by any other person playing him gives you health sustain and a lot of physical power I don’t think there’s a better way to play him with how he works as a tanky hunter so far it’s my personal preference and he still hits super hard and with those items your a warrior with hunter damage stats give it try just a friendly suggestion
Forge my recent games @Informationals on Xbox or pc :)
Not really a fan of that build. I'd only go a build like that if I was playing Solo, and I don't think he's a good Solo laner either. He should be played Duo or Mid.
Heimdallr already has somewhat lackluster clear, going warriors will guarantee that you're going to be outfarmed by the enemy ADC. Yeah you'll be a bit more tanky and resistant to poke, but your damage is just gonna be nonexistent. Hunters Blessing is just more practical.
Berserkers is a decent item if you're playing Solo I suppose, but the item is problematic for Hunters in the way it just fucks with both your power and gold curve. When you hit late game you are going to be very behind other players in terms of damage output because you built it. You'll be out 1700 gold, which is a big deal. You're far better off thinking about your build for the whole game by buying something like Devos, Bloodforge or Asi if you want sustain.
Frostbound is niche and I don't rate it for Heimdallr really. You're better off getting some actual power or pen online.
Honestly, I think Tanky Heimdallr is just not worth it. If you're going to be tanky, you want to be in their face disrupting them. Heim can ult one guy sure, and do a knockup. That's about it. And he's never going to be anywhere near as tanky or annoying as a proper Warrior or Guardian, so what's the point? You might as well make use of him being a Hunter and go for max damage.
Getting hit by heimdallrs ult when your kali makes you not able to select a Target and have to restart, its really cool.
i love buidling verry high power, with high attack speed. Transcendence-ninja tabi- shifter's shield- Odysseus' Bow- Bloodforge- Toxic blade,wind demon or fail-not- and then switch ninja tabi in for heartseeker. This build makes you do big chuncky damage, even the Odysseus' Bow procs hurt like hell.
Imo Asi is a better option than Toxic Blade
If the game didn't kick me out every time I want to start a match (AND gave me deserter) I'd completely try this guide 😉
16:13 What!? What did I just see!?what happened there!?
When someone uses beads before the launch on Heim's ult, the launch doesn't proc because its a displacement which is prevented by beads. In a similar effect, Heim's ult is useless against anyone who has inherent or ability varient displace prevention. For example, Jormungandr, being tethered to the ground at all times, is uneffected entirely by Heim's ult. It is not worth leveling immidieatly if the enemy has a lot of beef, because you certainly dont want to be in their face, and there is a good chance it wont proc.
Willard Dickson no. It was surprised me cuz it looked like he hit Merc with his ult during Merc’s ult. Like, frame perfect timing.
The only thing I disagree on is building Ninja Tabi on him, he feels so much better with Warrior Tabi.
Do you time your script to the match, or find a match that fits the script :0
You are German?
Thank you Duke! Your videos are always very informative!
Hiemdallr is so broken and easy that you dont even need to have a build or a guide he is just that good
Jumping cancels his attack progression, so abuse it
I’m watching this after they nerfed him into uselessness already 😟
So nuwa ult if on your team is frenzy. Got it
Quick question, Does anyone else gets kicked to menu after the gods are picked? Im on PS4
no, maybe someone leaves while selecting gods?
No, but I have noticed not all items are showing in PS4 when trying to preselect and save items since the Heimdallr patch
I like two points in 1 u don’t need port at lvl 3
Does anyone know how to activate his ult, I cant for some reason
You press the ult button your welcome

Hey y’all! New player, maybe two weeks in. I think I want to try this god. This question is more broad, on ps4 can you preset the skills so they level the way this guide suggests or how I want to do it? Thanks.
Eric Indeed you can in the ability builder from the God tab on the main menu screen. You can setup the order of the skill level ups on auto.
CJ Garcia thank you for that tip. One more. If I want boots, the Tabi ones. Or whatever item I want, and it’s more advanced does the game auto progress the item? Basic shield to the more advanced item I want?
Maxing the 3 second in solo seems to work pretty well. Obviously it's situational, but if you're pushing up far from your tower, it works really well to just have a bifrost at your tower and then be ready to teleport back to it as soon as their jungler pops up.
I think it depends a lot on the matchup and how much you can outclear. The other issue with it that every rotation you make to another lane pre level 20 is gonna be weaker as your abilities do less. If you purely focus on farming up asap and don't intend to leave your lane, I can see it working, but many games don't go that way.
@@DukeSloth Yeah it's definitely matchup dependent and jungler dependent. If you can pressure without the extra damage on the 1 or 2 right away, you can get away with it in lane. And if their jungler is focusing you, 1. You won't be in a position to rotate much anyway and 2. You might need the cooldown to survive ganks.
As a hunter solo, those two things aren't uncommon.
The main takeaway is that any levelling order is good for certain situations, which is good design.
I think his 2 is insane
I've been doing trans, ninja tabi, asi, crusher, heatseeker, executioner this whole time, it works well
ABYSS those, except for trans, worked for me as well. Now, I typically include ninja tabi, asi, and heartseeker while including situational items for protections and health as needed. Maybe I’m just unlucky, but he’s been kind of squishy for me as everyone seems to always target me so I usually need a tankier build
@@aperkins07 been trying to get better with him as well and his biggest drawback is how squishy he is along with his lack of ability to get away from fights assuming the 3 ability isnt viable at that moment
Teeds retired?
Alright, very nice
Heimdall repariert, Heimdall tauscht aus
Спасибо, братишка)
I build crit and lifesteal on him with armor....it’s hilarious
RIGHT? He just deletes. Idk why people are like, "YoU kNoW hE dEaLs ReDuCeD cRiT, rIgHt?"
And Im just like, "You know he deals x1.3 damage on his first two autos, and then x1.5 damage on his third, right?" lmfao you just get more damage in the end, especially with death bringer, and, of course, rage. lmfao
Noise
Doesn’t he technically not do less crit dam because his basic combos do 30 percent more dam innately also the final swing does 50 percent more so DOESNT he do more damn with crit on the last hit
This is assuming you have death bringer
Well, damage-wise, the crit ends up around the same or higher per hit, but DPS-wise you lose out significantly. I did a brief numbers breakdown on that here: www.reddit.com/r/Smite/comments/e5grvp/heimdallr_the_nordic_god_of_yeet_early_god/f9k4vyh/ I think the main reason for the lowered scaling is because an amplified third crit basic with Hydra's and Deathbringer would otherwise lead to absurd single hit crit dmg.
If haven't done the numbers for Deathbringer specifically, but I know it's doesn't suffer from the penalty. Will look into it for the in-depth mechanics guide
His one feels extremely jank. That's the only immediate complaint I have.
Worse guide I've ever seen
