Unlike smite 1, in smite 2 there is intelligence (INT) and strength (STR), this for someone who so far enters the world of smite 2, can be translated that the strength is the physical damage and intelligence is the magic damage that existed in its predecessor. We can also see that in smite 2 we have more freedom when building builds where there were limitations in that mages and magic tanks could only build builds of magic items or intelligence and the same with the characters of physical damage, but now regardless of the orientation of your character, you can decide which items to acquire, something as crazy and fun as a Zeus with strength build is now possible, a Ymir with critical or also Sol.
Sol:
From what I've experienced the most effective builds with Sol are always accompanied with strength items, specifically criticals and here we come back to the point that even if Sol is a base Mage or character who's base seems to focus on intelligence, it's much more effective to make yourself a strength build.
Ymir:
You have several options from extreme damage INT builds, the traditional support builds or the most interesting alternative which is to go with a very aggressive critical build and Hydra's Lament.
In conclusion, SMITE 2 has revolutionized the way players can build their gods by introducing the concepts of strength (STR) and intelligence (INT), giving more freedom in the builds. Unlike its predecessor, there are no longer strict limitations based on the magical or physical nature of the characters, allowing for surprising and creative combinations such as a Zeus with a strength build or a Ymir with critical. This flexibility has changed the way the game is played, allowing even characters with a magical base, such as Sol, to benefit more from strength builds, proving that strategies and experimentation now play a central role in SMITE 2.
In conclusion, in this installment we have more fun variants for the game where the magical and physical items are not limited to the characters being called physical or magical or rather of intelligence or strength.
