The game has multiple player versus player modes, many playable characters, and has a successful esports scene with multiple tournaments, including the annual Smite World Championship which has a US$1 million dollar prize pool.

Gameplay

Smite features many different game modes, with the largest being Conquest.Players are formed into two teams, with five players to each team. All players begin at opposite sides of a map at their team's 'fountain'. Before the players enter the map, they are granted an amount of gold (usually 1,500) to buy starting items. These items grant special bonuses or abilities that enhance the player's god. There are three continuous 'lanes' running from one side of the map to the other. Each lane is defended by a 'Phoenix' which is accompanied by a pair of extra defensive towers. Phoenixes and towers deal a large amount of damage to any enemies that come too close. The goal of each game is to destroy the opposing team's Phoenixes and the Titan, a giant warrior who must be defeated to win the game. The players are accompanied by 'minions', small soldiers with a weak attack; these minions spawn at the Phoenixes every thirty seconds and run along their lane until they meet opposition and attack immediately. Minions will attack not only players and other minions but also towers, Phoenixes and the Titan; in fact, their presence is required for players to deal full damage to these objectives. Defensive positions will prioritize enemy minions over players, allowing players to attack a tower without receiving damage; however, towers will fire upon players if there are no minions nearby or the player attacks an enemy player under their tower. If a game is going badly for a certain team, they can decide to surrender after at least 10 minutes, though this requires a majority of the team (4 players to 1) to agree. wikipedia.org

Classes

Gods are one of 5 classes: Warriors, Hunters, Assassins, Mages, and Guardians. Each class is primarily played in a different role in conquest.

• Warriors: These gods are designated as the all-rounder class, with melee basic attacks that do a good amount of physical damage. They also have reasonable durability and mobility, and some also have the ability to support their allies.
• Hunters: Ranged gods that do physical damage with mostly basic attacks. They lack the durability and early-game capability, and are generally geared towards the late-game domination.
• Assassins: These gods are similar to Warriors, but they excel more at damage and mobility at the expense of durability. They are mainly used for jungling.
• Mages: Magical ability-based gods, normally ranged. They are usually the least durable class, and also often lack the mobility tools that other classes have. They excel in area control, and usually have high burst.
• Guardians: High-health gods with magical damage and mostly melee basic attacks. They normally occupy the support role of their team and excel in crowd control, but normally lack the damage of other classes. wikipedia.org
