i am the rank 1 zero game knowledge ymir player, fear me
note: ymir is really bad right now but you can still snowball a lane and then perma roam and 1v9, no excuses pussy play better
note 2: genetics support guide made relearning the meta and all the new cancer they added to conquest a lot easier, check it out at smitesupportguide.com #ad
general gameplay:
- consistent effective walls are what separates useless stunbot ymirs from 1v9 ymirs
- always keep in mind that ymir is stuck in place while casting 3/4 of his skills, this is super aids but you will get used to playing around it
- psychological warfare is effective, nobody wants ymir to get in range and sometimes just walking at people makes them use summs or escapes for free
- ymir's passive is deceptively strong, you outdamage your adc early and can sometimes win lane by all inning after first wave, this also makes weaving autos properly incredibly important
- your 2 and ult slows stack and this combo makes your ult more consistent
- lategame is when ymir is weakest, getting picks is very difficult and you will get completely blown up if you get caught out even at max prots, play with your team
- two main playstyles:
conservative, still frontlining but big focus on peeling your adc, gets the most out of your auras
aggressive, play with off tank or diver, can make huge plays but your backline will despise you
- good support players probably switch between these two when appropriate, i recommend playing mindlessly hyperagressive for maximum ymir enjoyment
ymir building:
- ymir has an extremely flexible build path, after gauntlet just pick the 4 best passives/auras that also get you close to max prots
- if you dont think you have any more high value aura options you can also focus cdr and be super annoying (breastplate of valor into genjis or some shit)
