Who the best Smite Gods are is ultimately a question of the current meta. However, there are certain gods whose mechanics and abilities are so good that they’re a desirable pick no matter the season. 

What are your favorite Gods? Let us know in the comments below or by posting on the Z League app

One important thing to mention before we begin is the criteria by which the Gods will be judged. To be fair and unbiased, each of the Gods will be judged based solely on their conquest win rates, as conquest is the most played game mode in Smite. So, without further ado, let’s see who made the list.

Key Takeaways for the Best Smite Gods Ranked

  • This list was ranked based on Gods’ win rate in conquest
  • The meta constantly changes, currently, it is Season 10, so these values are for Season 10
  • Hades is currently the best Smite God in the game

These gods are the creme de la creme when it comes to performance, a strong pick for whatever situation you put them in. Their design is so good that they can almost always be spotted in a match. These are the best Smite Gods.

Writer’s Choice: Ah Puch – Ah Puch is my personal favorite, an absolutely devastating God to play with, there isn’t a single dull moment when playing as Ah Puch.

S Tier Gods in Smite

Pele

The following tier contains the Gods that just didn’t make the cut. They’re not bad, far from it, they’re above average; it’s just that they aren’t good enough for the SS tier and the title of the best Smite Gods. Though, in the hands of a pro, even these Gods can be SS tier.

Writer’s Choice: Pele – Out of all of these gods here, Pele has the most interesting playstyle. She’s fairly easy to learn to play, and she dominates any lane she is present in, that’s always a good combination.

A Tier Gods in Smite

Ares

A tier is usually reserved for the Gods who’ve fallen along the wayside. Some of these Gods are actually really fun to play with, they might have belonged among the best Smite Gods at one point. It’s just that the mighty stick of balance hasn’t been as favorable to them as the other gods.

40CupidHunter
41GebGuardian
42AthenaGuardian
43BakasuraAssassin
44DiscordiaMage
45SkadiHunter

Writer’s Choice: Ares – Ares is probably my favorite Guardian in the game. He suits his role perfectly, Not only is he tanky but his spells are also some of the best in the game when it comes to engaging and winning team fights.

B Tier Gods in Smite

The middle of the line. These Gods are as bog-standard as you can get, they’re not bad, and they’re not good. Some of them are fun to play with, but if you want to accomplish anything you’re just better off picking another god off the list.

75FreyaMage

Writer’s Choice: Hou Yi – Hou Yi has had his ups and downs through the seasons, yet he’s always remained a stellar choice if you want to have fun. To truly make him shine you’ll have to have nailed his build down perfectly though, then he might even be able to complete with the best Smite Gods.

C Tier Gods in Smite

Gilgamesh

C tier is reserved for those Gods who definitely need some love in future updates. In the hands of a pro, they may be able to become A tier at best, but no pro would willingly pick them as there are simply better options available.

88EsetMage
89Cerberus Guardian
90OlorunMage

Writer’s Choice: Gilgamesh – The Epic of Gilgamesh is one of my favorite pieces of literature, so when Gilgamesh was released I was quite surprised. Even though he isn’t the best at what he does, it’s still fun playing with him.

D Tier Gods in Smite

Cu'Chulainn

The Gods of D tier aren’t completely useless, they’re just hard to distinguish from the average mobs. You’re better off just picking a God from the previous tiers.

91TsukuyomiAssassin
92TyrWarrior
93MedusaHunter
94NoxMage
95ThanatosAssassin
96Cu’ChulainnWarrior

100AnhurHunter
101ScyllaMage
102PersephoneMage
103KumbhakarnaGuardian
104AchillesWarrior
105HachimanHunter

Writer’s Choice: Cu’Chulainn – Cu’Chulainn is probably my favorite God to jungle with. His abilities are great for clearing mobs and for ganking, the only downside he has is his name, which is damn near impossible to pronounce correctly. He may not be that good, but for me he’s one of the best Smite Gods.

F Tier Gods in Smite

Heimdallr

Stay away from these at all costs, they’re not worth it.

120The MorriganMage
121UllrHunter
122King ArthurWarrior
123ThothMage

Writer’s Choice: Heimdallr – Ohh Heimdallr, how you’ve fallen. Heimdallr is fun to play with, it’s just that he isn’t very good at what he does. Hopefully, in a future patch, he regains some of his lost glory. And to thing that he was once counted among the best Smite Gods.
