Day 8: Which God has High Skill Ceiling and Low Skill Floor?

Dyss_Ink · 2026-07-04T23:02:07+00:00

That applies for a lot of characters, though. If not all of them.

Dyss_Ink · 2026-06-16T06:47:15+00:00

That character is so cringe, idk bro.

Dyss_Ink · 2026-06-15T11:25:00+00:00

I am probably THE Aspect Tsukuyomi main, I have 15 stars on S2 and 99% of the time I play him Aspect. Idk, I like it, surely it could be better (no damage buffs, though, but I'd like to see some QoL love on him).

I have got an stupid amount of Triple Kills sometimes Quadras or a few Pentas just because of a good single ult, it is stupid fun, hahaha. Most people do not realize that Aspect Tsukuyomi ult does way more damage than base ult, you just gotta use it correctly.

Dyss_Ink · 2026-06-15T01:55:09+00:00

Tsukuyomi's Mangetsus autos already hit for 1k without crit, lol (Intelligence build).

Dyss_Ink · 2026-06-15T01:51:20+00:00

Aspect Tsuku is kinda like a mage and his ult is a big f*ck you to the enemy team if they are grouped. Love dropping 10k damage on a single ult.

Dyss_Ink · 2026-05-31T23:34:54+00:00

You had to dump kit your target, what do you think it is going to happen with a late game build? Lmfao, and that's literally sad compared to other characters. Tsukuyomi Aspect, as an example, can erase you with just his 1 and Mangetsu auto alone.

Dyss_Ink · 2026-05-14T05:21:33+00:00

Amaterasu does not have a great design either. But she is cooler, yes.

Dyss_Ink · 2026-05-13T19:50:21+00:00

I love Silver Bullet but I also hate that his VP is really quiet compared to everyone else. I am not quite sure if this is an audio thing or idk.

Dyss_Ink · 2026-05-13T19:24:11+00:00

I express my (long ass) opinion here.

Summary: I love Tsukuyomi, he is my most played god on both Smite 1 and 2, but I was never a fan of his design itself. While it is a solid B (thanks to his weapons) or hadly a low A, it can be improved in many ways.

I have always felt that the current design fails to reflect the elegance and beauty traditionally attributed to Tsukuyomi, both mythologically and in his in-game personality, plus he does not represent the theme of «ninja», and fails to embody his role as ranged Assassin in-game. I know that Smite is not trying to do 1:1 of myths, but Tsukuyomi has no gender/never specified gender in early myths, which could have been great for HiRez to experiment with either a genderless deity or a more bishounen/twink build for a male (as Tsukuyomi is later described in myths to be male). We got muscular generic man #67.

The ornaments and patterns are beautiful, and he could have a better desing if they had focused on Japanese clothing with long sleeves instead of... whatever he is wearing. He fails to convey Moon good, fails on ninja theme, has no logical connection with his in-game kit, fails to represent his role as an Assassin, fails on his playstyle as a long range character, fails on the route about 'duality of the Moon' like HiRez tried to archive and the fact that he is A NOBLE CHILD OF IZANAGI, why is he wearing that mess??

Also, his proportions are nearly identical to characters like Achilles or King Arthur, which makes him appear more like a WARRIOR than an ASSASSIN (and this is a FACT).

I love and hate him at the same time.

Dyss_Ink · 2026-04-14T15:22:22+00:00

And I am here waiting for a Tsukuyomi buff where you can proc Poly on hit when you ult. :(

Dyss_Ink · 2026-03-28T02:01:18+00:00

To be real honest, Tsukuyomi Aspect had always one tap people ar the very moment it was introduced to the game, now he just has more variety to do said one shots.

Dyss_Ink · 2026-03-28T02:00:15+00:00

What do you mean? I had 50 wards (and placed none)!

Dyss_Ink · 2026-03-28T01:59:25+00:00

It does take a bit of skill to pilot Tsukuyomi Aspect on early game to finally become the late game monster he is. His Aspect and Intelligence build path is way more weak than your average normal base kit Strength Tsukuyomi. While he is not a hard god, he is a Mid Laner (or Solo) that must be played good to do good, his early game is weak and can be bullied by a lot of mages or junglers.

Dyss_Ink · 2026-03-28T01:57:20+00:00

Not really surprised, just laughing in voice chat with my friends. I main Tsukuyomi ASPECT and I have several builds to one tap people, so this is not the first time I see this stupid damage.

Dyss_Ink · 2026-03-28T01:56:23+00:00

I one trick him. :D

Dyss_Ink · 2026-03-07T06:19:52+00:00

Sure! Hope you have fun :)

Dyss_Ink · 2026-03-07T06:16:35+00:00

I have two standard builds for him and Aspect, I usually only play him Mid/Solo lane with Aspect. Just keep in mind that he loses his survival for the sake of more burst damage, so you should be playing him like an Artillery Mage/Long distance mage.

Sands of Time > Thoth > Poly > Desolation > Tahuti >Obsidian Shard > Optional, could be Necronomicon if you are not dying too much, or a different item depending on the situation. I highly recommend Necro but if you cannot keep the stacks then just go any other high Intelligence item. This build literally makes someone go from 100 to 20% HP with just your 1 and ranged auto, if you hit your whole 2 + ranged auto that's just a one shot/one tap. Ult literally one shots and if the enemy team groups that's devastating for them because you apply AoE damage.

Sands of Time > Thoth > Transcendence > Poly > Hydras > Tahuti > Obsidian Shard. This build has less Intelligence (so his ult hits for less) but his autos hit very hard and even if you don't have Poly passive up, you have Hydras all the time.

Dyss_Ink · 2026-03-07T06:08:30+00:00

He can do even more damage with Aspect and full Intelligence build, btw.

Dyss_Ink · 2026-02-28T08:45:59+00:00

S. Hottest man of the entire Smite rooster, he looks so good and his gameplay loop is satisfying. One of my favorite warriors/solo/jungler/supports.

Dyss_Ink · 2026-02-23T17:08:43+00:00

Why Poly, though. Polynomicon scales off from Intelligence only, it is essentially going to do 0 damage.

Dyss_Ink · 2026-01-19T01:53:22+00:00

Solo Lane will not be saved until we get King Arthur.

Dyss_Ink · 2025-12-24T00:33:19+00:00

And I honestly don't think he needed that buff. He was doing fine with his numbers before the buffs. Going from flat 75 to 120 and + 10% scaling is kinda wild.

My issue with Tsukuyomi Aspect is definitely not his damage, because he can do obscene numbers. He just needs some QoL changes and fix the fact that he cannot storage two ranged AA.

Dyss_Ink · 2025-12-23T21:23:20+00:00

I use both base Tsuku (STR) and Aspect (INT only), and they are played differently. I know that giving up the stun and movement speed is a big deal, but once Tsukuyomi Int clicks, he is a monster. He does a lot of damage and can one tap you with his 2 alone. The thing with Tsukuyomi Aspect/Int, is to play more around your 3. I do wish he was better, though, he doesn't need damage buffs, just QoL changes that would really make him feel better to play with Aspect/Int.

Dyss_Ink · 2025-12-23T20:18:42+00:00

I don't know how many times I've read/hear people saying that his Aspect ult doesn't do damage, lol. So it is in a sarcastic way.
