Smite Gods SS Tier List 2020

The typical S tier seemed to be not enough to pack all the godly beings and creatures from all around the world. And so there has to be a different tier for all these divine characters. To include all the unbelievably strong Smite Gods, this ardent need to create a new tier was completed, and SS tier was introduced.

The SS tier Smite gods can shape lands along with cultures. They can even shape the fate of matches. There is no denying that you cannot win a match without SS god, but the chances of winning will definitely increase if you have one of these divine characters on your side. If you don’t need the chance to get close to your victory, know more about some of these Gods just to be ahead of time.

Ao Kuang 

Ao Kuang from the SS tier of Smite gods is one of the best gods, especially for the middle lane. He is considered to be the best for a reason. This Mage class god not only uses his ranged attacks but also throw in some melee tactics. The best part of this dragon god is that no matter what God you make him stand against, he holds him well beating everyone out. If you are in the Conquest mode, then this Smite god with tough single target damage is the perfect fit for you.

Apart from this, he is also the strong supporting character who can be set up for an easy kill by Hades. He is a versatile character which makes him one of the best and a great asset.

King Arthur

The first SS Tier god that is setting the trend is King Arthur. They are in league of their own as they are the best and flexible on the battleground. In his actual character, he can build up the ability to switch up to the right tactics. Yes, the main ability of King Arthur is to switch.

This is because King Arthur’s main feature is the ability to switch between two postures, something what we know of Hel’s character. And the main advantage of this feature is that it can actually cover a lot of situations you might find yourself in during the game.

Merlin

Merlin is just like King Arthur, who can switch between two stances though not in similar way. His stance switching is limited as compared to King Arthur and is not quite game-changing. Instead, the stance switch deals with damage and the ways by which Merlin counter against the enemies.

With all his powers, Merlin is thus considered as the most complex Smite god in the entire gameplay. Yes, by just learning the simple and basic four abilities along with some passive tricks won’t work. You need to learn the stance switching tactics as well. Also, these abilities work differently with different gods.

For Merlin, the battle is all about keeping the enemies on their toes.

Hera

So let’s end the SS Tier with the exceptional Hera, a Mage warrior. You might consider her a normal or average Mage god, but when you play her right she is much more than that.

Hera comes under the Mage gods but actually she is a Guardian in disguise who has Warrior-level harmful abilities. Unlike her fellow Mage gods, who come under the SS tier list she deals with the damage excellently.  If you decide to make her a tank then mark my words you will be unstoppable.

Heimdallr has the power of seeing the enemy even after it runs away for several seconds. And it’s just the starter pack, it is considered as his passive ability.
