This list breaks down the best gods by role and explains why they dominate right now. Whether you’re a new player or a veteran, you’ll find a few names here that can carry almost any game.
How This Smite Tier List Works
Before we jump into the gods, here’s how I rank them:
- S-Tier: The absolute best – strong in almost every matchup.
- A-Tier: Reliable picks that shine in the right hands.
- B-Tier: Situational but viable if you know how to use them.
- C-Tier: Weak in the current meta or too niche.
I based these rankings on win rates, pick rates, and how often these gods appear in competitive play.
S-Tier Gods (Current Powerhouses)
These gods define the meta. If you’re serious about climbing, these are your safest bets right now.
| God | Role | Why They’re Strong |
|---|---|---|
| Cthulhu | Solo / Teamfight Tank | Huge AOE, strong sustain, and terrifying ult that controls entire fights. |
| Set | Jungle | Fast clear, high burst, and amazing snowball potential if left unchecked. |
| Yemoja | Support | Endless sustain, great zoning, and insane late-game utility. |
| Olorun | Carry / Mage | His ult wins teamfights, and his crit scaling makes him hit like a truck. |
| Maui | Support | Hooks, pull setups, and teamfight disruption – a support dream kit. |
A-Tier Gods (Reliable Picks)
These gods aren’t as dominant but still perform extremely well in the right comps. They often depend on skill and timing rather than raw power.
| God | Role | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Thor | Jungle | His global ult still decides games, but he’s easier to counter now. |
| Hades | Mid / Solo | Good clear and solid ult, but struggles against anti-heal teams. |
| Cupid | ADC | Strong early poke and teamfight sustain – perfect for duo lane dominance. |
| Athena | Support | Her global presence and taunt combo make her one of the safest picks. |
| Charybdis | ADC | Great mobility and consistent damage, though weaker early game. |
B-Tier Gods (Niche but Playable)
B-tier isn’t bad – it just means you’ll need more effort to get value. These gods can shine if the matchup favors them, but they’re not ideal in every situation.
- Loki: Fun for solo queue but easily countered by wards and CC.
- Neith: Still solid for beginners but outclassed by newer ADCs.
- Osiris: Strong early pressure, weak late scaling.
- Bakasura: Great for farming but struggles in teamfights.
C-Tier Gods (Needs Buffs or Specific Matchups)
These gods just don’t keep up with the current pace of the game. Use them if you love them, but don’t expect easy wins.
- Anubis: Massive damage but immobile – dies to any CC.
- Kumbhakarna: Fun to play but too slow for modern metas.
- Poseidon: Still flashy, but mobility-heavy enemies ruin his combo potential.
Best Roles to Climb With Right Now
From recent patches, Jungle and Support are the strongest roles if you want to impact matches fast. Jungle snowballs early fights, and Support controls the map with rotations and vision.
Solo lane is still important, but unless you pick something like Cthulhu or Amaterasu, you’ll mostly be holding the line until teamfights start.
Tips to Use This Smite Tier List
- Don’t just pick S-tier – learn how to play them well.
- Counterpick if you can. Some A-tier gods destroy S-tier ones in the right matchup.
- Watch high-level players on Twitch or YouTube – they’ll show how to use a god’s full kit.
- Update your build regularly – items change the meta just as much as gods do.
Final Thoughts
The meta in Smite never stands still. That’s what keeps it exciting. One patch can flip everything upside down, and suddenly your favorite underdog becomes top-tier. For now, though, this Smite tier list gives you the best chance to win games and climb steadily.
So, experiment, find what fits your playstyle, and remember – even a C-tier god can dominate if you know how to play them right.
