When to pick Thanatos?

Looking for good early game and a lot of pressure.

Tips & Tricks

  • Maxing 2 over 3 for more movement speed and penetration.
  • Engage with ult can be fine. You don’t need to use it as execute only.
  • They hear you use 2 in the jungle if they are nearby, so be careful using it right before you gank (can wait till he actually has vision on you).

SmiteFire & Smite

Smite is an online battleground between mythical gods. Players choose from a selection of gods, join session-based arena combat and use custom powers and team tactics against other players and minions. Smite is inspired by Defense of the Ancients (DotA) but instead of being above the action, the third-person camera brings you right into the combat. And, instead of clicking a map, you use WASD to move, dodge, and fight your way through the detailed graphics of SMITE's battlegrounds.
