Who is Ymir?

Todo List



SPAYmir is the father of the Frost Giants, and like all Norse Giants, he is evil. Grandfather to the All Father, Odin, Ymir lead his giant brethren into battle against the Gods. After ages of battling, Ymir was slain by Odin and his brothers, they forged the world from Ymir's remains.

SPAThis Third person speaking Ice Giant is one of the original characters in Smite, he is also one of the few free characters that come with Smite. He has basic Crowd Control, a wall to trap the enemy (or troll your teammates), and a very powerful ult that if used right can do significant damage no matter the build. Ymir has the highest stats (except movement speed) when it comes to Guardians. Ymir is one of the few guardians that is able to take a lot of damage and return it back to the enemy with a nice little bow on it. If he is used right Ymir can be a key factor in any battle of the field.


DISCLAIMER!! I used Code provided by xZeroStrike

Pros and Cons of the Ice Giant

....... Pros .......

[*] Does a significant amount of damage, even when playing guardians
[*] At max level of the ability, Frost Breath can stun enemy for 2.5 seconds
[*] A very well balanced and rounded character who hasn't changed much over the years
[*] Has poke, Crowd Control, and Multiple slows

...... Cons ......

[*] Very slow
[*] Easily counter-able (Just poke the guy from a distance, he's a slow giant)
[*] Ultimate can be evaded very easily because of the long Charge to do max damage
[*] Not the best support in Smite since he only has one Stun, better options for "Supports" are Geb or Khepri

Good Luck in the contest. I am also competing in it, and if you'd like to peep the competition, check out my Ymir guide May the best content creator win!

ChaoticUdders. Hilarious. It amazes me what names people can think of to represent themselves online.

Really cool!

You even used my code! Looks very promising indeed, and I'm looking forward to seeing more from you.

It looks very promising so far; with the reasonable explanations and lots of visual upgrades- really looking forward to seeing this guide finished.

Only thing I think might be worth mentioning is that you accidentally used the Warlock's Sash description in the "Strait Tank" spoiler (unless it's a placeholder, then my bad!).

Sorry about that! I'm not finished coding quite yet. Yes, it's a place holder! :D

It's great that you have multiple builds and explain each one in detail. Thanks for taking the time to add a lot of bbcode too.

It's looking good so far! Can't wait to see the incoming updates. :)

Welcome, milkman. Comments as I go down the list...feel free to comment or absolutely ignore me =)

In your Pros/Cons and Items sections, you use the [*] code, but you need to start it with "list" in brackets to make them true bullet points...and then don't forget to close it off with "/list".

Interesting point of view, I never considered Mystical Mail to be a "warrior" tank item...the first person I think of when I think of that item is Ares. It's just such a damn expensive item (especially as item #2 in your first build) that I almost never get it on anyone. Just a comment.

On your 2nd build, I know you're going full damage, but that said, have you considered replacing Ethereal Staff with one protection item? Sacrificing some health and mana (which you won't need with full stacks of Sash), but gaining higher effective health overall (at least potentially). At 3,000 health or so, the Staff passive is giving you pretty decent power (~75), but just something to consider testing out, unless it just completely defeats the purpose of it being a "glass cannon" build.

One thing you might want to mention is if your 1st build is meant as an aggressive Support, or at least which mode(s) it's for...maybe you only use the Tank build as Support, but I don't know.

Look forward to seeing this guide finished.

Great Reply, I really enjoy the feedback! The reason I used the [*] without a list is because I kinda like the sight of it, I don't know why. I know that Mystical Mail is an expensive second item but the pay out is kinda worth it, I have killed countless enemies surprisingly while using it. The reason I consider Mystical Mail to be a warrior item is because not only does it give you protections but it also gives the user Damage, which is what you want on a warrior typically, Damage and Tank. The reason I didn't add a protection item to the second build is because he is a Glass Cannon. The combo of Ethereal Staff, full stacks and Ymir's health at end game, this item will give Ymir (~98) Magical Power. On that last point, I will clarify what each build is used for and which game-mode in more detail. Again, thank you for the feed back! <3

Side Note: the 2nd build is not really a practical build, sure it's fun but you have to have really good teammates to pick up your slack. I added it into the mix just to spice things up a little :D

Hey Udderific,

Awesome, thanks for the explanations. Understood about Mystical Mail, and thanks for taking the time to explain.

And yes, I did note that you indicated the 2nd build was not practical, and gave specific situations in which it would be fun to play, so my comment was just a thought on one slight adjustment to the build, which would increase survivability a bunch (perhaps) while not docking his damage by too much. In either case, it wasn't a complaint or anything, just something to think about. Anyway, will look for further updates!
