Introduction

Hi, this guide is brought to you by lestimics. I started playing Smite 1 on PC in 2014. I've been playing competitively since 2020 and have been a professional Smite player from 2021 to 2023. I've played on different teams like JustF6, Gilded Gladiators or Tartarus Titans.

You can check out the SmiteVOD YouTube channel where my recorded professional games are. I've peaked at 3500 MMR GrandMaster/Masters in Ranked Conquest on the PC platform every season since 2018. I've also done Smite Masters (LAN) 4 times in 2022, so I really think I have the knowledge to guide on the Solo role in SMITE 2.

I hope you find this guide as a useful learning resource for playing Hades as Solo.

Here are my socials:

Abilities

Hades's Abilities

Passive -

Your attacks and abilities apply Blight.

Blighted enemies have reduced strength and intelligence, and receive additional effects from your abilities.

Blight effects are important to have active when you use your abilities.

Ability 1 -

Leap forward to deal magical damage to enemies.

Slows blighted enemies and applies blight.

With this ability you will get closer to enemies so you can use your other skills.

Ability 2 -

Silence enemies in front of you with a cone shape and apply blight.

Blighted enemies are also feared.

is very good for combo before use

Ability 3 -

Deal Magical Damage to enemies around you. It is very important to use this ability after applying the blight.

Blighted enemies explode when hit, dealing additional magical damage to them and enemies around them. Heal yourself and your allies around you per blighted enemy hit.

It is the main ability of because you will easily push minions and do more damage.

Ultimate -

Channel a vortex around you that repeatedly deal magical damage, reducing your abilities cooldowns for each hit. While channeling, you may use another ability, but only once.

Reduce the physical and magical protections of blighted enemies damaged. You are CC immune while channeling and gain increased physical protection and magical protection.

As you can only use a skill while you are using your ultimate, use if the enemy doesn't have a dash to escape and if he do, use when he try to escape.

Example Combos:

Basic to apply blight > to get closer (basic) > (basic)> (basic) >

Basic to apply blight > (basic) > (basic) > if the enemy try to escape >

Basic to apply blight > (basic) > (basic) > (Try to burst).

Always try to combo with basics to use .

How to play Hades

Gameplay Start / Early Game

Start at the Fire Giant side in the lane. You have to start on the blue buff leveling up your Devour Souls, if you have Sundering Arc use it to do the bluee fast, and then go to the lane to push the minions. If you don't lose any minions you will go up to level 2 when you manage to kill one more minion from the next wave of minions.
The following moves are push the lane and try to win the Totem (Totem gives gold for all the team and mana regeneration). From level 2 you will push quickly using Death From Below > Devour Souls so you can not let him push the minions so you can get the Totem easier and be able to invade the harpies on the sides or quickly make your own to continue creating pressure.
When you reach around level 5, minions will appear in the fire giant zone. It's important to kill them with your jungler because they give a lot of experience and gold, and they also give you permanent power.
Remember to buy wards to avoid the ganks and try to comunicate to the jungle to invade blue buffs or try to kill the solo laner.
From this point it is repeating the same thing push minions > blue buff > Totem > harpy camps.

Mid Game:

At this point of the game, which is roughly between 10:00 and 20:00 minutes, you have to push the lanes as quickly as possible and try to rotate (You can do proxy farm to rotate faster) because right now you have great potential with your ultimate Pillar of Agony to kill anyone.
If you do rotations in mid lane, try to engage with your ultimate Pillar of Agony on the enemy support or mid to get some kills and be able to do the gold fury or the pyromancer
If you use the teleporter from the base to the duo lane, you have to do the same play but trying to kill the carry and gain the pressure to be able to do the Gold Fury.

Late Game:

At this point in the game, team fights begin around the fire giant at around minute 25:00. Your job is to look a good engage with your team so you can use your full abilitie combo and deal a lot of damage.
To deal with this type of situation you have to take advantage by using the bushes to become invisible or looking for a good moment to engage, looking for the mages and carries so you can kill them quickly with Shroud Of Darkness > Devour Souls] or Death From Below to get closer > Shroud Of Darkness > Devour Souls > Pillar of Agony.
The moment you have the fire giant buff, the sieges on the Phoenix begin. Here you have to continue taking advantage of your engage potential and destroy the Phoenix with the help of your carry and mid slowly. You can also go with your jungle to another Phoenix to create pressure and your jungle can do good damage to the Phoenix easily, adding to the fact that you have a very good fight.
If the enemy has the fire giant and it is your turn to defend the Phoenix, you have to be in a group with your team and defend under the Phoenix, being careful with the picks.
Constantly call for all information, when you engage try to be followed by your team, always be sure of your decision making.
Remember to wards all the zone on fire giant and when you are sieging you need wards too.

How to ward as Solo

White circles:

Green circles:

Early/Mid Game

Here you can see the best spots to ward as a Sololaner.

These wards will help you to know where the enemy sololaner is moving, as well as if the jungler is trying to gank you.

High Pressure Game

These wards are when you have a lot of pressure in lane and you want to invade blue buffs and red buffs. Remember to call your team that you want to invade so they can help you.

Late Game

These wards are for fire giant teamfights. Remember that you can only have 2 wards active at the same time, so you will need help from your team to ward the entire area from the fire giant.

Siege/Defense Phoenix

These wards are very important when it comes to sieges and defending phoenixes. In this case, the wards are the same whether you defend or attack.
This wards are important because mages often cast abilities through walls, you will be able to react better to their abilities.

Great build! Although I personally dont like that we only have room for 10% cooldown. Also why skip your 2nd ability till level 4? The blight helps way more for the minion clear early and its faster.

I think right now if you're playing full damage Hades, the best thing you can do is try to one-shot someone. Hades isn't a pick for poking, so you don't need Chronos Pendant. It's better if you can instantly kill someone with a combo or by using your ultimate. You can also level up your 2 at lvl 3 if you want to play safe.

Well I am by no means a Hades pro, he is who I play the most. Doing heavy damage is something that should be preferred but I do believe having just a bit more cooldown helps tons when it comes to your dash. No saying we need a 40% or something crazy but ive definitely found myself in more situations where I wish I hadn't put my whole build towards that damage when I dont secure the kill and have no escape back. As for the ability I guess its just become preference over time to get my 2 for level 3 just to help with quick clearing in the lane and more often then not i find myself needing the silence for jungle gank and so have you.

I think we're likely looking at a significant build adjustment due to the recent adjustment to items, especially with regard to the addition of pen to a variety of items. Perhaps lestimics will be able to fit a bit more CDR into the build with the next update...but it's not like he has long CDs so CDR isn't necessarily one of his most key requirements.

Regarding skill leveling, I think this one with Hades is very much flexible depending on situation and matchup, right?

3, 1, 3, 2, 4 (current leveling rec): I think this is best if you're not too pressured, allowing you time to get Blight on the minions with basic attacks and doing more damage with the 3 at that point. While using the 2 to apply Blight and then immediately using 3 is definitely quicker, having the 2 is just slightly less functional if the enemy laner doesn't have a channeled ability that you can interrupt.
3, 2, 1, 3, 4: Enemy has no mobility (to pressure and chase) and also has a channeled ability you want to interrupt (e.g. Guan, Ares).
3, 1, 2, 3, 4: Mobility (1) at least somewhat important so you get that at level 2, and at level 3 you decide you want that silence/fear for boxing or whatever.

Well I would say yes his ability picking can just be situational so it wouldn't matter what order to pick but I believe it is safer to get your silence as your 3rd.

Hades cooldown is already decent and 10% is great but I do think the extra does do wonders in more situations then it wouldn't in a build. Maybe thats just more situational for extra cdr though.

It is 100% safer to get your silence as 3rd. BUT, it provides no healing or added damage directly, and so if you're able to safely get a second point into the 3 at level 3, it offers more potential sustain and damage return. It's fairly minor in the grand scheme of a game though, and I will say that, for safety and utility reasons, I would probably almost always get the 2 at level 3 like you were suggesting.

Love this build so much!
