Introduction

Hello guys!



This is my first guide. I play Ymir since the beginning of my SMITE time.
Latley I focused on a Meele dps Ymir!

I hope you enjoy.

This is a build for MY gameplay! I don't say it's the best ;)

Pros / Cons

Pros:
-Incredible meele damage and Critchance (+Lifeleech) at the endgame
-Good combo with your CC
-Still good in groupfights
-Nice jungler with gloves


Con:
-No cooldownreduction = less CC
-low dmg on abilities

Items

First things first: The item build

Basically there are 2 options for me:

MOVEMENT FIRST:

In this one I first go for the Reinforced boots for SPeed and protection, 2 Health Pots and 2 Mana Pots.

After that I get one stage of Stone of Gaia to serve my manaproblems.

MANA FIRST:

In this one I start with 2 stages of Stone of Gaia.
Attention: You won't have any pots or actives with this one!
As soon as you got the money you can go for the third stage and pots.

GENERAL BUILD

In general I get SPRINT really fast at the beginning.
After that I go for the Devourer's Gloves. Max them on 3 and collect stacks.

Then I go for the first real dmg: RAGE.
With RAGE on stage 3 you should deal a very good amount of dmg already.
Usualy I go for Titan's Bane here, but it can be switched for the Executioner or the Heartseeker.

Deathbringer is the last ultimate itemf or your dmg output.

Skills

Skills are pretty easy:

First I go for Glacial Strike stage 1. Good to poke mobs and enemies (and adds the slow)

Then I go full for Frost Breath! This is you main utility in COnquest/Arena/Domination!

After that the Ice Wall should be put on stage 1. It saves you in jungle, also on chases and it can keep the mobs away/from shooting in important situations.

After that my focus is: Ultimate>Frost Breath>Glacial Strike.

I max Ice Wall last.

Team Work

Ymir is a (if not THE) teamchar!
Use your CC! Combine your stun with the abilities of your teammates!

If you got Odin, Hades or Ares with you: Combine your Ultimates! The enemies can't escape from Ares/Odin/Hades Ultimates and you're ready to unleashe your Ult!

Your Ice Wall can save others life! Block chasing enemies or even use your other 2 abilities for optimal escape CC.

With your dmg you will be a good autoattack dmg-dealer! If you meet a caster solo: Stun --> Glacial Strike with slow --> hit him to death (if he tries to escape: Use your Wall/Sprint)

NOTE: You will deal quite good damage to towers/Obelisks too with this build! But since you will have rare occasions for your Ultimate: use your Ult at Obelisks (very great in DOminations!!) or on Towers/creeps! It will give you an advantage and at the beginning it is not that bad to have Ult down (Exceptions: You are on the same lane as Hades/Odin/Ares for combined Ults)

Creeping / Jungling

With this build you can easy kill minions in the later gameplay.
Till you get your Rage on 1, focus on poking/killing with your Glacial Strike. Keep your stun for the enemies.

DON'T FORGET TO COLLECT STACKS WITH YOUR DEVOURER'S GLOVE!

Summary

All in all I did really well with this build. You can solo/grp up/jungle.

Your title is misspelled, and you need to do some editing, add some icons, and throw some theories in there.
