6 Best ADC Lane Smite Gods [Ranked]

Izanami

Speaking about Izanami, I absolutely have to mention her as she's one of the best Hunters in Smite. If not the best overall honestly.

The thing that makes Izanami the best "attack damage carry" is the fact that she has some of the highest basic attack damage in the entire game. And if you build her up with the right items, she's a real monster on the battlefield. It's no wonder then why she's also considered one of the best Gods for beginners, as you can easily pick her up and master her in just a few games.

Another thing that makes Izanami an absolute duo lane menace is the fact that she has crazy good synergy with most of the other Gods. She's like a hot knife through asser. She goes in, deals a lot of damage, and goes out. No special gimmicks or anything. Most of the time, when I play duo lane, if I see an Izanami on the enemy team, I just accept my fate then and there.

Hachiman

Hachiman is probably my favorite Hunter to play. Not just because he looks cool mind you, but because he's an extremely effective duo lane carry.

The thing with Hachiman is that he's extremely tricky to get into. When I first started playing him I thought he was the worst God in Smite. Ohhh, but how wrong I was. Turns out, he's a crazy good attack damage carry. So long as you have the right item that is. Hell, you can even achieve a high damage output that is out of this world if you know what you're doing.

With Hachiman, you really want to play him with the long game in mind. Don't bother too much in the early game and the mid game. The late game is when you'll shine. Focus on building Attack Speed and Critical Chance items. Once you have a full build, you'll quite comfortably be hitting some of the highest DPS in Smite. Just be careful of enemy Gods with hard CCs, as those will ruin your day.

Hou Yi

There are two things that Hou Yi is really good at. He's one of the prettiest Gods in Smite. And, he's the best damn duelist in the game.

I love playing as Hou Yi. The freedom I feel when playing as him is simply unmatched. He can deal damage, he can clear jungle camps with ease, and he can threaten the mid lane with ease. Even the enemy jungler gets a run for his money whenever he tries going up against Hou Yi. All in all, Hou Yi is a perfectly balanced Hunter. Here's how to optimize that.

With Hou YI, you really want to emphasize his basic attacks. His abilities already increase his Attack Speed, which is why you should further increase it by building the right items. In the early stages of the match, focus on farming, Don't bother with ganking the mid lane or contesting the jingle camps. Your main goal should be to become supercharged for the late game, which is easy, so long as you remain focused.

Martichoras

My personal favorite scene from Back to the Future is when Marty plays the guitar on prom night. It's impressive that he managed to do that, seeing as he has no hands and all... Wait... I think I mixed up the Martys.

Martichoras is one of those Gods that has crazy good utility. You can play him as a solo lane. You can play him as a middle lane. You can even play him as a jungle. But, to truly get the most out of him, it's ideal that you play him as a duo lane with a good support by your side. And to do that, you're gonna want to focus on building Crit Chance items.

The reason why you'd want to build Crit Chance items is because of his abilities. Martichoras specializes in ambushing his opponents, which is the reason why his third ability gives him stealth and increased movement speed. Ideally, you should alpha-strike your opponents and get out. The longer you stay in a fight, the worse it gets for you. Low sustain is sadly Marty's only downside.

Skadi

Skadi. Another God with crazy good utility. Sadly, not as much as Martichoras though. But still, she'll serve you well regardless.

Skadi is one of those Gods that you see all of the time. She's extremely fun to play as, and she has one of the best Tier 4 skins in Smite. In my opinion at least. That being said. Very few people know how to utilize her effectively. That is why there's such a disparity with her. In one game, you see her with 20+ kills. In another, she's at the bottom of the scoreboard.

To get the most out of Skadi, you're going to want to focus on a high-pen build that emphasizes her basic attacks. Most of her abilities cause some sort of CC, which is excellent if you're trying to rotate and gank the middle lane. Skadi doesn't do that well into the late game, so try to get the most out of her in the early game. Cause after the 30-minute mark, it only goes downhill for her.

Cernunnos

Cernunnos is my favorite God from Celtic mythology. I've always found his role within the greater pantheon charming in a way. And thankfully, he's made his way into Smite.

Funnily enough, even though Cernunnos is a Hunter primarily, he's one of the best Junglers in Smite. His abilities allow him to gank lanes with ruthless efficiency, which I absolutely adore about him. Probably the most unique thing about Cern is his passive, which increases his basic attack damage the closer he is to his opponents. This allows for a very interesting playstyle.

Because of his passive, you're gonna want to focus heavily on Attack Speed builds; giving specific focus to Odysseus' Bow as a core item. A crucial skill to have with Cern is to know when to cycle your 1st ability to the appropriate season. However, if you're going with Attack Speed builds, you should primarily have it on Autumn or Summer. Other than that, you should initiate with your 3rd, then your 2nd, and finally with your Ultimate for the most optimal results.
