Build Overview

This is IN DEPTH Guide for my Smite Slayer Build

The Guide will cover all progression from Lvl 1 to blowing up T17 and killing Ubers.

Build is still viable in 3.28 Mirage, I will update gems after the POB update as well.

If you have questions - hit me on Twitch (https://www.twitch.tv/ronarray), I will help!

Endgame Gameplay / Ubers you can see in this video + 3 POB's below.

About the Build

In 3.28 Smite is still one of the strongest attack skills in the game.

It has great clear, hits enemies TWICE with proper positioning - which can DOUBLE your DPS against bosses and it's scaling is some of the best in the game. Paired with Slayer Ascendаncy and Doryani's Prototype the build can deal huge damage while staying tanky and very easy to play.

If you want to start playing the build from level 1 then Smite is a great choice for you.

This build guide will help you to pick the gear, gems and tree across your whole progression.

How it Plays

Use Shield Charge + Frostblink to move around and just spam Smite to deal damage.

Use Enduring Cry at the start of the Boss fight to generate charges.

▸ How to Hit Twice with Smite?

To improve the single target damage make sure you are positioning yourself correctly (explanation with visual example)

Smite consists of a melee strike and lightning area damage. It’s impossible to hit one target twice with both melee strike and lightning area that it causes.

However, if you have sources of “strike skills hit an additional target” then the enemy can be hit by both the melee damage from an additional strike target and the damage of the lightning bolt that comes from the original hit.

This interaction effectively doubles Smite damage.

It’s very easy to tell when you’re hitting twice. If you position yourself right in the boss fight, you will see two lightning beams striking the target instead of one (visual example).
