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.
SMITEFire is the place to find the perfect build guide to take your game to the next level. Learn how to play a new god, or fine tune your favorite SMITE gods’s build and strategy.

In Joust / Clash / Arena / Assault, the question is always, "do I get a starter, or just move ASAP into my first main item?"

Duotem had mentioned it as being good in basically any mode...and so I started just getting it often in most modes...and seriously, the mana regen early game is great, and really helps early usage.
