Hi guys I hope you are very well, today I bring you for the second time a review of my favorite video game called Smite belonging to the genre "Moba", I have been playing Smite for more than 3 years, since its beta version and I think I'm in the capacity to share with all of you this review. It should be noted that my strongest role are those that are oriented to the support (I really like the class that lends help to others) and warrior, however this does not mean I do not dominate other gods (We identify the characters in the game as Gods). Therefore today I will make a review of the God THANATOS, Class: Assassin belonging to the pantheon: GREEK.
SMITE is an online multiplayer battle game developed by Hi-Rez that unlike other mobas, has a perspective of your character in the third person which gives it a unique feature. It should be noted that it was the first video game "moba" to implement this camera in the third person and it is something that attracts a lot of attention from other players.
The main objective of the game is to destroy the enemy towers whose battlefield is developed according to the game mode you select. The existing maps are:
Conquest (5 vs. 5)
This is the most important map of all, since it is the one used by professional players to compete. The map is oriented in the Greek and Nordic mythology, it consists of 3 lines, the jungle, 6 phoenixes (3 for each team), 12 towers (6 for each team), Fire Giant, Gold Fury, Creature Camp, 4 different Power ups in both jungles and finally two colossal Titans that we must defeat to win the game.
In the line of Bot or Duo Lane we have to play with gods that generally carry the role of Hunter and Guardians.
In the MID Lane the most advisable thing is to play with magicians of preference with abilities with escape because in Smite there are two kinds of magicians, those that do not have escape but their damage is considerably higher and those that if you have escape but I damage is smaller in comparison with others.
In the TOP it is usually played with Warrior gods although this could vary, there are some who play Guardians sometimes, it will depend on what your other teammates play.
Finally we have the Role of Jungle, our goal is to ambush the enemy and help the line that is in trouble, it should be noted that this season 5 is much easier to make jungle where we have a blue potentiator that gives us mana and helps reload the skills faster is for the top lane, we have another purple that lowers the enemies defense this is located in Duo Lane is usually carried by the Guardian, the Red enhancer that greatly increases the damage is for the AD Carry and finally the orange is for the jungle this gives us a lot of useful mobility to ambush the enemies.
Joust (3 vs. 3) And Duel (1 vs 1) it's the same map.
This map is made up of a single line, 2 towers (one for each team), two phoenixes (1 for each team), a Minotaur that when defeats deactivates the defenses of the tower or of the enemy phoenix, if the enemy tower is still not destroyed only the tower is deactivated when you defeat the minotaur. There are also two power-ups, one blue for the mana and the skill reload and the other red to increase the damage; In this map you can use any God but the advisable thing is to play with magician, Guardian and ADC. It should be noted that you can also play competitively in either 3v3 or 1v1 on this map but the most important one is still the 5v5.
It is set in Chinese mythology and competition is difficult because you can play against other teams that always play together.
Assault (5 vs. 5)
This map is oriented in the Norse mythology, here the God is assigned randomly however you can pay with the game currency to re-launch the roulette and hopefully you will be touched by a God more attached to your abilities, you can not return to your base if you do not die before.
Arena (5 vs. 5)
If the strategies are not your thing this map is indicated for you and is set in Roman mythology, here you will only have to fight against others and with each enemy death that you do and the subjects that you eliminate you will be able to subtract points from your enemies and if they remain without points you achieve victory.
Siege (4 vs. 4)
This map is Oriented in Mayan mythology, consists of 2 lines where each time we eliminate a minion and eliminate an enemy God we can get a meter that once completed we can automatically invoke a colossal minion to destroy much easier the structures of the enemies , we can also eliminate the boss located in the center of the map to invoke a colossal minion without having to fill the meter completely.
Clash (5 vs. 5)
This is my favorite map oriented in Egyptian mythology, it is like a sand but the difference is that we must defend our towers and fight for the most important red enhancer of all, the early game is very important here so any mistake can cost you the victory.
It should be noted that maps such as Conquest, Joust and Duel are the only ones that have a classification system where you can show your skill level against other players and you are rewarded for your victories and to show your level of player with other players.
Basically, the game is to defend your line with the help of your henchmen and not let the enemies topple all your towers, level up killing the minions and gods of the opposing team.
The roles that are used in (5v5) are support, AD carry, Wizard, Assassin, Warrior, this would be the most important map of all, since it demands a lot of competitive level.
Therefore, to play Smite you need to develop skills, quick reflexes, good coordination, pointing skills and the ability to choose your skills wisely and in the correct order.
As an interesting twist, the Smite heroes are personified as gods of different mythologies such as Maya, Nordic, Egyptian, Greek among Others ...
Life always has an end and this is inevitable but there are mortals who cling to their lives because death for it is the end of everything they know and takes you to the depths of hades, Some mortals accept their destiny without resistance but there are others who are brought against their will. This is where Thanatos enters taking their lives from those who do not accept their destiny to die, with a dark face and full of happiness for their satisfaction of their work.
However, collecting the lives of mortals is very easy, which is why Thanatos only thinks of the Gods whose life is immortal and what he considers an insult to his work and his own existence.
But is a God really immortal? As the war in the heavens spreads and immortal blood is poured out, it increases Thanatos's intentions to face other gods and give his own existence a purpose other than to reap mortal lives and position himself as absolute death.
Immortal Gods? Be careful, Thanatos is on his way to harvest their lives.
Harvester of Souls (passive) |
Each time an enemy god is seriously wounded, Thanatos can have vision of him anywhere on the map with the possibility of executing him and healing himself based on the maximum hp (20%) of the target executed, also recharges his abilities ( 5s). By eliminating a henchman the Hp of Thanatos also regenerates 10% of the maximum life of the minions eliminated; It's a skill type: Buff. |
Death Scythe |
|---|
This is Thanatos' strongest skill in damage after the ultimate ability. You can cast your scythe at any target inflicting damage plus 10% additional damage added depending on the maximum health of the target. enemies slow down (20%) for 3 seconds. It should be noted that when the scythe does not reach any target it consumes 5% of the maximum health of Thanatos, this is a skill type: Projectile. |
Scent of Death |
|---|
This ability is very useful since we gain immunity to the effects of enemies that can slow down, we also gain movement speed (30%) for 6 seconds, but if an enemy is seriously injured our passive is activated and we gain double the speed of movement, this is a skill type: Buff. |
Soul Reap |
|---|
Thanatos damages his enemies and silences them for 1 second, a very useful ability to counterattack enemies and cancel their abilities, the disadvantage of this ability is that Thanatos loses movement speed when using this ability, this is a skill type: cone . |
Hovering Death |
|---|
Thanatos ascends for 5 seconds, can move without any restriction with a movement speed of 150% and if it falls on an enemy that is seriously injured can execute it instantaneously instead if the passive of Thanatos is not active the enemy can only be stunned for 1 second, this skill is of type: Ground Target. |
The god builder that I will recommend will be for the Conquest map (5 vs. 5) since it is the most important of all.
Thanatos is always used in the jungle, which should take into account the following items for better performance.
Assassin's Blessing:
We must use this article obligatorily since it gives us +35 extra damage against the creatures of the jungle, it also restores us + 7% life by eliminating a creature and finally +20 mana. It should be noted that every time we eliminate a creature from the jungle, we will strengthen our article until we evolve it to gain +10 physical penetration.
Warrior tabi:
This is the second article that we must finish in order to ambush our enemies faster by adding the movement speed bonus of the Scent of Death ability. We are really very fast, it gives us 40 of physical power and 18% of movement speed.
Jotunn's wrath:
This article is also mandatory and we recharge the skills by 20%, it also gives us +40 physical power, +150 mana and finally +10 physical penetration. Thanatos depends a lot on the abilities since to belong to the murderous class having them faster and faster is very useful to ensure the objectives.
Hydra lament
This article is excellent for Thanatos since every time we use a skill during the next 8 seconds we get an additional damage of 40% for our next basic attack. It is really very useful if we combo with the abilities, we also get mana regeneration and +40 of physical power.
Heartseeker
If what you want is to destroy your enemies with basic attacks this article is yours since it gives us +30 physical power, + 10 physical penetration and also + 10% of very useful movement speed to combine it with the Scent of Death skill , also has a passive that every time we make 5 successful physical attacks we get an additional damage bonus of 100% of our current physical power.
Titan's bane
This article is ideal to cause considerable damage to the guardians or those who use defensive items ie the more physical protections the enemy has, the passive will increase from ignoring 20% of the physical protections onwards, in addition we have +30 physical power.
Bloodforge
Thanatos has a passive that allows him to have a constant life robbery and this item is ideal for him since every time we execute the enemy god we obtain a shield that lasts 20 seconds, it is very useful because when we are assassins we can have more endurance during the fights plus we get + 10% movement speed, +75 physical power and + 15% physical life theft....
Breastplate of Valor
This defensive article is optional, if they are constantly attacking us and they are leaving us behind the game it is best to play defensively and this item is very good since it gives us +65 of physical protections and + 20% of time reduction of the skills something very useful to have the skills faster and faster.
Bulwark of Hope
This item is also optional if we are receiving a lot of magic damage is very good because if our life goes down to less than 30% we get a health shield that lasts 20 seconds is really very useful this article to survive in the fights also +60 protections magic, +200 health and finally +20 mass control reduction (CC).
Purification Beads
This asset is very useful to eliminate the effects of mass control and avoid them during 2s. It is an obligatory article for all the gods that are not Guardians.
Aegis Amulet
This is another article of obligatory use for almost all the classes since it makes you invulnerable to the damage during 1.5 seconds but also you can not heal while it is active the effects of this article.
This is a recording I made using Thanatos on the map clash (5v5).
Thanatos is one of those gods who is very fun to play for his skills with a very strong early game but the late game is not as strong as the others, to take full advantage of this god we must abuse our enemies during the game early and help our allies to obtain advantages in their respective lines.
It should be noted that Thanatos is not god that is used at a professional level but it is usually used at a competitive level but in this season 5 the goal of the game is more oriented to the late game so Thanatos would not be so efficient however it is very entertaining. play and it guarantees you that you will spend hours of fun executing your enemies.
Good guys without saying more than saying goodbye until the next review of smite.
