About SMITE 2
SMITE 2 is a third‑person action MOBA where players control mythological gods, each wielding a signature ability. Matches blend fast‑paced combat with traditional MOBA objectives, encouraging teamwork and strategic positioning.
Powered by Unreal Engine 5, the game offers immersive visuals, new Aspects for playstyle customization, and modes such as Conquest, Arena, Joust, Assault, and Ranked Conquest. Cross‑play and cross‑progression let you keep unlocks while playing with friends on any supported platform.
01 / THE GUIDE
God Selection & Abilities
Players choose a deity from multiple mythologies, each equipped with a signature godly ability such as Zeus’s lightning bolt, Anubis’s death magic, or Loki’s backstab. The selection defines the role and combat style for the match.
These abilities interact with teammates’ powers, allowing combos that influence lane pressure and team fights across all modes.
- Try a god whose ability matches your preferred combat range.
- Watch how combos affect team fights in casual matches.

Game Modes
SMITE 2 includes 5v5 Conquest (destroy the enemy Titan), 5v5 Arena (clear waves of minions and gods), 3v3 Joust (single lane), and 5v5 Assault (random god assignments).
Ranked Conquest adds a leaderboard, while each mode’s win condition differs, such as Titan destruction in Conquest or wave clearance in Arena.
- Pick a mode that fits the time you have available.
- Focus on the primary objective unique to each mode.

Cross‑Play & Progression
The description states SMITE 2 supports full cross‑play, allowing players on different platforms to join the same match.
Cross‑progression lets unlocks such as gods, skins, and items travel with the player’s account when switching platforms seamlessly.
- Log in on each platform to verify your unlocks appear.
- Coordinate match times with friends on other platforms.

Auto‑Build & Auto‑Level
SMITE 2 advertises auto‑build and auto‑level features that automatically select items and upgrade abilities during a match, helping newcomers focus on combat.
These tools coexist with manual item selection, allowing players to later experiment with deeper strategic choices if desired.
- Enable auto‑build while learning the basics.
- Switch to manual builds later to explore item strategies.
