Smite best Assassin: Lancelot
A mounted assassin that takes on enemies fast and hard, Lancelot is a brilliant assassin among the cast of Smite. As long as you can manage the health of your horse, and get to grips with controlling your stead, you’ll be able to be a brilliant component of your team’s success

Skill max priority: Piercing Thrust / Shining Gallop, Skilled Strikes / Crashing Dive, Mount up / Quick Turn, The Grand Joust.
Smite best Guardian: Cabrakan
Cabrakan is a tanky, aggressive, Crowd-control heavy pick that sets up the rest of your team for big plays. As a skilled Cabrakan player, you’ll be a godsend (zing) for the other players allied with you. Trust us, they’ll love you for it.
Skill Order
Level one: Tremors Level two: Seismic Crush Level three: Refraction Shield Level four: Tectonic Shift
Skill max priority: Refraction Shield, Seismic Crush, Tectonic Shift, Tremors.
Smite best Hunter: Xbalanque
Xbalanque is by a good margin the hardest hitting hunter in the game right now, and an absolute powerhouse. An ADC requiring some support from your team due to their squishy nature, Xbalanque is a great pick for those who want to deal massive amounts of damage and carry their team. Main character syndrome.
Skill Order
Level one: Poison Darts Level two: Rising Jaguar Level three: Branching Bola Level four: Poison Darts Level five: Darkest of Nights
Skill max priority: Poison Darts, Branching Bola, Rising Jaguar, Darkest of Night
Smite best Mages: Agni
Long ranged damage, great escape potential, unreal late game damage, and an all around nice guy. If you like to be that annoying damage carry in the backline, yeeting over huge amounts of hurt to the enemy team, you can’t get much better than Agni.
Skill Order
Level one: Flame Wave Level two: Path of Flames Level three: Flame Wave Level four: Noxious Fumes Level five: Rain Fire
Skill max priority: Flame Wave, Path of Flames, Rain Fire, Noxious Fumes.
Smite best Warrior: Arthur
Of all the warriors in the game, Arthur is likely the best at laying down the hurt constantly and with great force as a melee DPS. He’s a little tricky to nail down at first, but with great damage output, good CC, and awesome potential for team-wide combos, it’s well worth the time investment.
Skill Order
Level one: Overhead Slash / Hamstring Level two:Twin Cleave / Bladestorm Level three: Battle Stomp / Uppercut Level four: Overhead Slash / Hamstring Level five: Sundering Strike / Excalibur’s Wrath
Skill max priority: Overhead Slash / Hamstring, Twin Cleave / Bladestorm, Sundering Strike / Excalibur’s Wrath, Battle Stomp / Uppercut.
