I have been playing Thanatos for the majority of my time playing Smite. He is one of the most effective joust choices if played properly, and carefully. The proper use of Thanatos is dependent on use of good instincts, and situational awareness.
1.
Death Scythe: The death scythe is by far the most versatile and useful ability at Thanatos' disposal. A great poke, heal, slow, and ability with high damage potential, your 1 should be maxed out before any other ability.
2.
Scent of Death : Do not underestimate Scent of Death. This ability can help to finish off a fleeing enemy when used in tangent with death scythe. The extra penetration and speed towards both an enemy, or in the case of a target at the threshold the 2x speed increase, along with the penetration and damage boost can truly help to ensure that a kill is acquired.
3.
Soul Reap : This ability should be your second maxed skill. The silence is a great tool to utilize to stop pesky escapes from your hands.
4:
Hovering Death : Needless to say this is Thanatos' signature move. Be careful with its use: when a player sees a Thanatos on the other team, they will acquire the Aegis/Sanctuary relic. When you fly into the heavens to deliver swift death, do not instinctively attack the moment they are in range. Wait for them to use their relic, then murder them relentlessly for daring to interfere with your kill. Max this out before Scent of death....obviously.
In the right hands, Thanatos can truly be unstoppable. His self regeneration, high damage, threshold ultimate, and powerful poke combine to create a very powerful assassin.
