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 Ymir as Solo.

Here are my socials:

Abilities

Ymir's Abilities

Passive -

All of 's abilities that affect enemies apply a debuff to the enemy called Frostbite. All of 's basic attacks against a target afflicted by Frostbite do 100% more damage. Enemies afflicted by Frostbite deal 10% less damage. Lasts for 6s.

This passive is very important to keep active while hitting any enemy.

Ability 1 -

create a wall that displaces enemies on creation. Applies Frostbite to displaced enemies. If you press the ability again you make the wall disappear.

It's very important to use it correctly to block the enemy gods' path and leave them with no way out.

Also, if you use the wall above you, it will knock you forward, which can help you escape.

Ability 2 -

This is the primary ability for pushing minions. It's a forward rectangle that deals magic damage and slows enemies. Applies Frostbite on successful hit.

Ability 3 -

freezes in a cone in front of him, dealing magical damage and stunning enemies. Applies Frostbite on successful hit.

This skill is very important not to miss, to ensure your next abilities and provide your team a stun that is easy to follow to do damage.

Ultimate -

channel to slow enemies around you. Deal a burst of magical damage when the channel is complete. Applies Frostbite immediately to enemies in the area.

You are CC immune while channeling, you can also cancel this ability early, doing less damage.

Example Combos:

From the distante to enclose the enemy > to stun the enemy and hit 1 basic attack > to continue hitting basic attacks.

If you are close enough to stun the enemy and hit 1 basic attack > to continue hitting basic attacks > if the enemy god use a dash continue chasing until you enclose with > and finish with .

You can also do a burst of damage with to stun the enemy and hit 1 basic attack > and hit 1 basic attack > fast before the enemy use a dash (Remember that you can cancel this ability to deal damage sooner).

How to play Ymir

Gameplay Start / Early Game

Start at the Fire Giant side in the lane. You have to start on the blue buff leveling up your Glacial Strike, with the jungler helping you do it quickly, and then go to the lane to push the minions. If you don't lose any minions you will go up to level 2, but if you lose any minions in the next wave of minions you will go up to level 2.
It is important to know that in order to push the minions correctly you have to use Glacial Strike in front of the melee minions to hit all minions, and continue hitting basics attacks to the minions with the passive active (Frostbite) you will be doing around 100 damage with basic attacks. You have a very good 1vs1 thanks to its passive so try to hit all the basics you can on the enemy god with Frostbite activated.
The following moves are push the lane and try to win the Totem (Totem gives gold for all the team and mana regeneration). From this point on you have to try to win the pressure of the lane to be able to kill the side camps and get more gold and experience.
On the side camps you can kill the gold camp which doesn't give you experience but a lot of gold, and the two harpy camps give gold and experience. Also if you have pressure online you can invade their harpies too.
When you get the first item of the build, you are incredibly strong in 1vs1 so you will be able to look for some kills and pressure a lot or you can try to invade the blue buff callling you jungle to help you.
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.

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, either by using the teleports of the sides of the lane for the duo lane or rotating to the mid lane.
If you do mid lane rotations, Ymir is a very good character for teamfights because she has a lot of life and defense and thanks to her passive you do a lot of damage, in addition to being very useful thanks to her stuns and walls. This is why if you play with the team you have a great advantage to be able to get a kill and pressure a lot to look to do some objective like the Gold Fury or the Pyromancer.
If you use the teleporter from the solo to the duo lane, you have to do the same play but trying to kill the carry or the support and gain the pressure to be able to do the Gold Fury.

Late Game:

At this point in the game your job is to be the frontline with the support as teamfights start around the fire giant at around minute 25:00.
You have to harass, poke and kill the enemy carry, mid and jungler as they are the most dangerous for your team.
To deal with this type of situation you have to take advantage using Frost Breath to stun enemies so your teammates can easily deal damage, you can also enclose the enemy gods with Ice Wall, it is very important to constantly call your team so that they follow you when you perform a stun or you are trying to enclose someone.
The moment you have the fire giant buff, the sieges on the Phoenix begin. Here you have to continue taking advantage of your stun with Frost Breath to get a kill and destroy the Phoenix with the help of your carry and mid. You can also go with your jungle to another Phoenix to create pressure since you have a lot of defense to tank and your jungle can do good damage to the Phoenix easily.
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.
