Gods: Alphabetical Order
| Achilles
Achilles is moving up a tier because of the viability in solo, support and as a jungler. He excels at any role and due to recent builds he can deal massive amounts of damage as a jungler
| Agni
Agni has always been the point of balance for the mage class and for good reason. His abilities hit hard from a range, but you have to be aware of positioning in order to succeed.
| Ah Muzen Cab
The bee is part of the lower tier of gods because of his immobility. In a meta that provides mobility, the bee is easy to catch out of position and get killed.
| Ah Puch
Ah Puch is at a solid point in the meta because of his anti heal and the amount of zone control he provides to a team. He is able to defend objectives fairly easily with his minions and corpse explosions.
| Amaterasu
She has fallen out of the meta as a solo due to her low amount of pressure in lane. Currently, she is more viable as a support due to her auras in lane and her team fight presence is always great.
| Anhur
Anhur is a mid tier hunter right now in the current meta. He doesn’t do anything special but he’s not to be looked over.
| Anubis
One of the more popular mages, Anubis is a low tier mage that can deal a ton of damage. However, he suffers from his lack of mobility in a meta of gods that can just do way more than he can.
| Ao Kuang
Having been buffed in the past few months, Ao Kuang has moved up the tier list to be a great jungler and mage in general. He gains passive healing now, and his high damage coupled with his execution allow you to quickly take out any god.
| Aphrodite
In this patch Aphrodite is receiving multiple buffs that greatly improve her laning and team fight viability. With less cooldown on her main healing and damage ability she provides a lot more pressure throughout the game.
| Apollo
He is popular right now because of the availability of high attack speed items coupled with the fact that he can split push better than any hunter in the game. He can push his lane and then use his ultimate to join his teammates across the map.
| Arachne
Although she has been buffed recently, her kit just doesn’t allow her to do well in the current meta. She is a pub stompy god, but against people who know how to play well she suffers from the lack of strength in her kit.
| Ares
One of the original pressure supports, Ares remains at a stable point within the meta. If you can hit his chains, you can counter many of the relevant gods that rely on mobility since his chains cripple enemies. Plus his ultimate is a great way to cause enemies to use purification beads.
| Artemis
With the revival of Runeforged Hammer and her passive changed, Artemis received an indirect buff from this item which has pushed her above other hunters.
| Artio
She remains on the of better supports in the game because of the amount of CC and pressure you can provide during team fights. She is great for peeling enemies off your carries while in team fights and can chase down any god in the game due to her slow, stun and cripple effects.
| Athena
This god still has one of the best and easily hit crowd control abilities in the game. Tie in her global presence due to her ultimate and she will always be a viable pick in any meta because of what she can bring to a team.
| Awilix
One of the lower tier assassins, she just does not bring much to a team fight unless you catch enemies out of position. There are just other assassins that can burst enemies better than awilix.
| Bacchus
Ever since he was granted access to his Chug ability at level 1 without any points in it, he has risen to a high tier support character. The ability to Chug in the fountain in order to gain protections and the ability to stun at level 1 gives Bacchus a huge level of pressure early in lane.
| Bakasura
Being that we are in a burst meta, there are few gods that can provide massive amounts of damage as well as Bakasura. With the appropriate items, this god can tear down carries and tanks alike.
| Baron Samedi
The best part of the Baron’s kit is the Baron’s Brew available for teammates. It provides a different set of items to start with that no other god in the game can do. He is and will probably always be at a solid place in the meta.
| Bastet
Although she can deal out a lot of damage very quickly, Bastet just doesn’t do enough for a team and remains at a low spot in the tier list.
| Bellona
She will always be the anti auto attack warrior. In a meta that provides a lot for hunters, Bellona is able to box them efficiently and win most of the time. In addition, with Berserkers Shield, she gains a ton of sustainability in game.
| Cabrakan
Cabrakan is moving up a tier because of the mana changes to his Tremors ability. His main issue in lane was the mana consumption from Tremors, but with the reduce by 1/3 of the mana, he can clear more efficiently.
| Camazotz
Damage and sustain are the main attributes for this gods kit. Because he can heal and deal a great amount of damage he has become a viable god for both jungle and especially the solo lane.
| Cerberus
Another one of the high pressure supports, Cerberus provides a great source for anti healing, slowing and protection shred in his kit.
| Chaac
As a solo laner, Chaac is one of the more reliable picks because it is very hard for him to fall behind in lane and he remains a solo lane bully. His kit allows you to sustain in lane with both health and mana, and late game he can control large areas due to the slow provided from his Rain ability.
| Chang’e
Although Chang’e can win a game when she’s far ahead, the amount of anti-heal in the current meta prevents her from performing at the same level of other mages. Although she’s being buffed, it is not significant enough.
| Chernobog
From the attack speed buff on his second ability and the global presence from his ultimate; Chernobog remains at a stable point in the meta.
| Chiron
He remains at stable point within the meta due to the amount of builds he can use. Chiron can effectively use both the auto attack and ability based builds and his abilities make him friendly to newer players.
| Chronos
Part of the auto attack mages, Chronos is a one trick pony that can either carry a game or cause his team to fall behind if he doesn’t pick up his slack.
| Cu Chulainn
The only god in the game to not use mana, Cu Chulainn provides high pressure in the solo lane because of ultimate and rage meter. He remains a viable solo laner, but other gods can out sustain him in lane which causes him to be more mid tier.
| Cupid
Although Cupid’s ability have a good amount of scaling with physical power, Cupid struggles during the early game due to his lack of clear. You can group up minions to hit them all with his Heartbomb but other hunters just have an easier time in lane placing him lower in the tier list. .
| Da Ji
This goddess is often overlooked in Smite but she can provide a huge burst of damage and has an escape button when she goes up into her ultimate. Tie this with dot damage to counter invisible gods, she can easily apply anti heal with her abilities and more. Da Ji is a solid pick in this meta that’s undervalued.
| Discordia
Discordia can deal high amounts of burst damage but lacks mobility and her ultimate can be easily dodge or negated if the person you hit with her ultimate just runs away from their team. One of her strengths will always be her passive though, because it can provide an advantage for your team during the laning phase.
| Erlang Shen
Although this meta supports auto attack builds, Erlang Shen suffers from the amount of anti heal currently available in the game. He retains an above average warrior because he is a flex pick for solo, jungle and sometimes support and can provide pressure in any role he takes.
| Fafnir
In the support role, Fafnir can provide some of the best utility for objectives and tower damage out of any support. However, he still suffers from becoming a stationary target during the transformation in his ultimate and needs a team to fully utilize him.
| Fenrir
Although he received a nerf to his Unchained ability, his Brutalize ability got a massive buff to always have AoE damage without stacking his runes. Fenrir is also a solid flex pick for solo, jungle and provides an aggressive support
| Freya
Ever since her rework, Freya has been at a high place in the tier list due to her amount of sustain and burst damage. Her ultimate lets her escape from a fight while still dealing damage. Her only weakness is that once her ultimate and Banish is down then she is easy to kill.
| Ganesha
The true support god, Ganesha provides massive amounts of utility for a team from never stealing minion kills, his Ohm ability silences while providing protections and Turn of Fate provides a power buff to help clear during the laning phase.
| Geb
From the use of his Stone Shield, Geb remains at a solid point in this tier list because he is a counter to the burst many enemy gods provide. His Cataclysm ability also provides a huge AoE stun to also prevent enemies from diving the back line.
| Guan Yu
Although Guan Yu was buffed to maintain his stacks while in combat, he still suffers from the amount of anti heal available in the game without any physical items to boost healing. In addition, his main source of damage can be easily interrupted by the other top meta warriors.
| Hachiman
Hachiman is still a viable god choice through the use of his Banner ability ability, the extended range from his Eagle Eye basic attacks and his CC immune ultimate to escape. Nothing too special, but nothing he really suffers from either.
| Hades
This god received a few buffs recently to increase his tankiness in team fights but he still suffers from the same problems. His ultimate forces him to remain a standing target during a team fight. He still provides a high amount of pressure in lane, but if he falls behind then he can drag a team down.
| He Bo
Probably the best god to provide burst damage. He Bo has access to abilities that are on a very low cool down and deal massive amounts of damage. Unless you have gods that can quickly kill him, He Bo will out damage almost any god during a team fight.
| Hel
The Goddess of the Underworld can provide a lot of utility during a teamfight, however she suffers in the same way as all healers do. As a result, Hel remains at a lower point in the tier list because you can built items to counter half of her abilities.
| Hera
Although Hera herself doesn’t provide much for a teamfight, Argus is still a huge threat on the battlefield. He essentially provides another tank for the team that will stick in your face until he is dead. Then he will pop again in another minute due to the low cooldown for her ultimate.
| Hercules
The Champion of Rome remains a solid warrior in the meta because he has everything a warrior needs. He has sustain in lane, a high damaging ult, provides a huge presence during a team fight and his passive gives him passive damage and protections.
| Horus
One of the newer gods in Smite, Horus’ kit is all about supporting your team and providing utility. His abilities give protections, protection reduction on enemies, he has two forms of crowd control and his ultimate changes the way you have to play the game.
| Hou Yi
Recently, Hou Yi gained a buff that allows him to move around while casting his ultimate and helped him gain survivability. He is still a solid pick in any game mode because he can provide an AoE ultimate and his triple bounce is deadly in the tight jungle corridors.
| Hun Batz
This god will always be a viable pick in the meta because of his ultimate ability that provides a huge AoE crowd control. He recently received a buff on his Sacred Monkey ability that also increased his viability in the current meta.
| Isis
This winged goddess provides early pressure in game and late game has one of the best objective secure abilities because of her ultimate, Circle of Protection. However, she is easily caught out of position and doesn’t have an escape or CC immune ability.
| Izanami
Due to her special auto attacks, Izanami provides easy clear in lane and her ultimate pressure a good amount of burst damage during a team fight. They have also reduced the wind up time in her escape which has helped her out.
| Janus
Although one of the harder gods to play in Smite, a good Janus player can have more mobility than any other god and provides a great amount of burst damage with his kit. Then his ultimate can easily move your team across the map.
| Jing Wei
Jing Wei is a solid pick right now because her escape allows her to counter many of the knock ups that are popular right now in the meta. In addition, her passive allows you to constantly fight in lane without missing experience because you just fly back to lane.
| Jormungandr
The tallest god in Smite provides more sight on the map than any other god because of his huge character model. He provides pressure in any lane he’s in and his ultimate deals a great amount of damage and makes him untargetable.
| Kali
A solid hyper carry during the late game. Kali is easy to build and once you hit late game you can win a game by yourself because of her ultimate and passive. Kali is a great pick in this meta.
| Khepri
The true backline support, Khepri provides a lot of utility to a team. His ultimate allows you to revive teammates and he has enough CC in his kit to peel away most diving enemies.
| King Arthur
Often regarded as the most powerful god in the game, King Arthur literally has it all. He has multiple CC effects in his kit, 8 damaging abilities, high sustain with Gladiators Shield and the most mobility of any warrior in the game. Not to mention two highly useful ultimate’s that are on a really low cool down. This new patch introduces a coloration during his ultimate to signal which ultimate is currently active.
| Kulkulkan
Part of the mid tier mages, Kukulkan provides consistent damage with his Whirlwind ability and can deal a great amount of burst damage with his ultimate. However his lack of mobility is his main issue.

| Kuzenbo
Considered a more solo/frontliner role in a team, Kuzenbo provides a great amount of pressure for a team and can deal consistent damage due to the built in thorns ability in his kit.

| Medusa
Another one of the mid tier hunters, Medusa has a great team fight ultimate, consistent damage and an easy laning phase. However, her escape puts her in danger because it stops at the first enemy hit.
