Teach us how to play The Morrigan in SMITE 2!

in SMITE 2

Closed

Morrigan is a versatile and complex mage with a gameplay that demands a high level of skill. She is designed as a goddess of fate and war, and her skills include deception and adaptability.
Passive (Doomsayer): Morrigan hits an enemy with a skill and leaves a mark of destiny on them, which can accumulate to 3. When she reaches 3, the next skill consumes these marks, deals bonus damage and reduces the enemy's magical protection for a short time. Always try to hit these skills to accumulate these marks as quickly as possible, this will help you a lot with explosive damage.
Skill 1 (Deadly Aspects): it summons power in all three forms and attacks forward, dealing damage and stunning.
Skill 2 (Dark Omen): Morrigan unleashes a magical explosion that deals damage to enemies and can even stun them if they have 3 fate marks. I like to save this skill for when the opponent has 3 marks, to stun and make the kill more certain.
Skill 3 (Confusion): Morrigan creates a clone of herself and gains movement speed. The clone will walk in a straight line while you remain invisible.
Ultimate (Changeling): Morrigan transforms into any god on the battlefield, whether ally or enemy, for a short time, gaining access to their basic abilities (except the ultimate). This is one of the most impressive ultimates for me, and you can use it according to your accuracy, whether for tank, mage or assassin abilities.
The best builds for Morrigan should focus on maximizing her magical power, thinking about reducing cooldowns, flexibility and survivability. Talking about her mid lane game (which I think is ideal), I suggest some important items such as Pendulum of the Ages, Book of Tooth, The Cosmic Horror, Phantom Shell, Polynomicon and Gem of Focus.
It's important to clear the waves to be able to farm safely and keep pressure on the lane. Make the most of the marks you leave behind, they help you a lot during the game. I also like to place sentries to avoid ganks, as she's more vulnerable at the start. Once you've unlocked Ultimate, you can switch to solo or duo routes and copy a god. To do this, it's important to know each god's abilities and how to use them at the right time (which is why I find it tricky to play). Always know how to position yourself and try to stay a little further back. As for skill leveling, in general I prefer 2>1>3 and, of course, ultimate whenever possible. Playing as Morrigan isn't easy at all, but it can be a lot of fun with the right ones :)

Create a guide on how to play Ymir in SMITE 2!

in SMITE 2

Ymir is one of the best choices to play support in smite 2 (for me, of course). He has impressive CC, explosive damage and amazing battlefield control.

Passive (Frostbite): all of his skills that hit an enemy combine Frostbite. It's basically a debuff that increases the damage of Ymir's basic attacks and reduces the damage of enemies hit. I always like to follow the use of the Skill with a basic attack, to increase the damage.

Skill 1 (Ice Wall): an ice wall is summoned that blocks movement and displaces enemies when cast and can be destroyed when you reactivate the Skill. If you use it on Ymir's feet, he is pushed forward and it works almost like a dash. You can use it either to block the passage and protect yourself or to trap enemies, just make sure you position it well according to your purpose.

Skill 2 (Glacial Strike): Ymir creates a line of ice spikes that deal magic damage and slow down enemies. I like to use it to clear waves of minions and even freeze them.

Skill 3 (Frost Breath): Ymir releases an icy breath that deals damage and stuns enemies. Excellent for starting fights and stopping that enemy who is your priority target. Preventing escapes is also a great application. The combination of this Skill with Ice Wall is excellent, as you can trap stunned enemies.

Ultimate (Shards of Ice): Ymir freezes the air around him and slows down enemies while channeling. After channeling, it explodes and deals mass damage. Very useful for dealing area damage in team fights and securing kills. For this I always try to position myself in the center of the fight, to ensure maximum benefit.

The build may vary a little depending on your role, but they all prioritize reducing cooldowns, defenses and magical power, always thinking about maximizing your CC and your survival on the field. Items such as Heroism, Blink Rune, Prophetic Cloak, Genji's Guard, Talisman of Purification and Circe's Hexstone are very useful for the build.

Always know how to position yourself, using Ice Wall with the right positioning will help you a lot. As support, try to control the route, place plenty of sentries and stay close to your rearguard so you can always protect when necessary. Ymir is an excellent choice, perhaps with a slight weakness in his mobility but nothing that hinders him too much, after all balance is everything.
