Hades in Smite 2 is a short-range mage and his main focus is on damage and survival, you can choose to play in the solo lane or mid. I really like that his style is a mix of magic damage and resistance, much like what we know as a bruiser. I didn't play him much in smite 1, but from what I've seen in some comments, he's kept his essence.
Let's get to the skills!
Passive: “Blight” - Applies the “Blight” effect to enemies hit by skills or basic attacks, reducing their strength and intelligence, which ends up reducing their damage. Your game will run on the passive, making the god brutal in combat
Ability 1: “Death from Below” - Hades deals area damage, if the enemy is marked with blight (remember the passive? haha), he will be slowed down.
Ability 2: “Shroud of Darkness” - Hades silences enemies in a cone in front of him (if you've played lol, imagine the W of cho gath), if the affected enemy is blighted, he will be frightened (he will run in the opposite direction to you).
Ability 3: “Devour Souls” - Deals damage in an area while healing Hades and his nearby allies. Enemies affected by blighted take extra damage and deal damage to surrounding enemies, generating more healing. This ability is where the god's big boom is, try using this skill between waves and you'll see what healing is all about hahaha
Ultimate: “Pillar of Agony” - Hades' ultimate creates an area around him, becoming immune, sucking enemies closer while dealing continuous damage. While ulting, he can recast any of his abilities, such as 1 to reposition himself, or 3 to increase healing while attracting enemies.
Gameplay
Fight the minions nearby: As I said above, your 3, together with a good wave of minions will guarantee you good damage and great healing
Repositioning: Take advantage of the ult recast with your 1, allowing you to change plans during combat.
Build: I asked my friend JHenckes who knows the most about the doll haha, for help, and he told me that if you're just starting out with the doll, the automatic builds will be fine
