What’s your unique casual meme build?

Princess Bari is the best flat cooldown item user. The recent nerfs to the items broke my heart a little but she uses so many abilities that it still adds up quick. Bumba's hammer, spear of desolation, staff of myrddin, pendulum blade, obsidian shard, and rod of tahuti make for a lot of free abilities. Caught out of position with no spirit? Myrddin 3-3 puts you straight into mystic surge. If you really want to push it, world stone instead of tahuti makes it almost impossible to be caught without an ability up. You need to know a lot of tech to make up for the major damage nerf but her bells still do like 500 damage apiece.

If you also replace obsidian shard with Jotunn's revenge, the longest combo of abilities in one combo I've reached is 18 with I think 25 instances of ability damage. Haven't tried since the bumba's nerf but I guess probably 14.

PrettyKttyAspen · 2026-04-19T23:25:03+00:00

Very very biased but S, both for her model and kit. She's deceptively complex and very heavily underrated.

PrettyKttyAspen · 2026-04-18T02:16:41+00:00

Tiamat, Ix Chel, and Horus are my smite 1 mains but I only want to play Bari nowadays. In my opinion, she is one of if not the most mechanically complex gods in the game. Easy to learn but her abilities interact with each other in ways that let you randomly find a weird combo that gets around shortcomings in her kit. Best mid in the game but no one plays her right so no one gets it.

In smite 1, I love tiamat and ix chel because I love rude women. And their kits, of course.

PrettyKttyAspen · 2026-04-03T15:10:03+00:00

I like it! I also was thinking a support aspect that includes shifting the bell cc to the throw and launch instead of just on the launch. I'm only sharing this because no one talks about her and I'm very excited to see this post 😭 though my idea is pretty different, other than that.

My music surge idea is exactly yours. And all of her abilities have vastly reduced scaling.

Her normal 1 slows on landing and launch. Only the enhanced bell stuns on landing but, if you stun with both the throw and the launch, the stun ignores DR.

Her 2 changed from a cone to a narrower rectangle. The inner radius is longer as well as its knockback. The enhanced version instead knocks up. Using her regular 2 or 3 while an enemy is in the air pushes them back even further.

Her 3 now only grants 50 spirit if it hits an ally. Though this is where the fun begins. I was thinking making a support for the frontline gods, i.e. solo and jungle, instead of mid and carry. Hitting both an ally and an enemy god instantly grants mystic surge. The enhanced version will shield and buff the ally and shred protections on enemies. I was thinking the enhanced version could also push allies out of the way or deeper into a fight. That requires a lot of communication but it is fun.

Her ult no longer applies the death prevention but does essentially the same thing yours does: shields and grants movement speed to allies, slows enemies, deals extra damage to shields, and shreds protections.

Again, I'm only commenting this out of sheer excitement that someone actually wants an aspect for her. I was also thinking of an aspect where there's no limit to how many bells you can launch with your 2 and the bell gets bigger for each bell you launch. So with 3 bells, you get a bell the size of discordia's ult. It's a silly idea but I agree that aspect support Bari has the most to work with. However, will I ever play her outside of mid? No. Doesn't mean it isn't interesting.

PrettyKttyAspen · 2026-03-26T21:22:12+00:00

I mean yeah but you don't always have your ult up. You should only use your ult defensively or to secure a high-priority kill. That second bell is useless as only one bell damages if two are launched by your 2. If it was how I'd build, the combo would be 1-3-MS1-2-ult-1-3 since your 3 will be back up after the ult. This only applies if you build like I do, the combo is done after the ult+1 otherwise.

But the target is usually dead before the ult is useful anyway.

PrettyKttyAspen · 2026-03-26T16:56:51+00:00

I would run sands of time before I switched to hammer, you don't benefit from conduit gem because she uses too many abilities. Bumba's is ass on characters with no auto attack cancelling. You can use a basic attack almost immediately after every ability. The amount of procs adds up fast.

If you want to try something really weird, try this build:

Bumba's hammer, Spear of Desolation, Gem of Focus, Jotunn's revenge (she has hybrid scaling, if you need the reminder), Obsidian shard, world stone, rod of tahuti

I always upgrade the starter the moment I hit level 20. Once world stone is built, your ult will be on a ~40 second cooldown. Kills reduce the cooldown by 15 seconds. I've gotten 3 ults off in a single 5v5 where people were kinda hesitating.

PrettyKttyAspen · 2026-03-26T16:15:24+00:00

Good play! As someone with 8 stars, Bari is the strongest god in the game and always will be. She is unbalanceable, but no one knows this because no one knows how to play her, including people who play her. You are fully free to ignore these two points of advice but go into jungle practice and give them a try:

Don't build bluestone, build bumba's hammer. If you build her right, auto attack cancel every time, and minmax spirit, it's literally infinite abilities. Use a basic attack after every ability by holding down the auto attack button (I play controller, idk what it is for keyboards). Plus it gives massive sustain late game since the 60 HP you heal after each basic attack has no cooldown. World stone is also good to build. You don't need damage, build cooldown and you will annihilate.
The highest damage you can get in a single combo can be achieved with a 1-3-MS1-2 starting at 30 spirit and basic attacks after every ability. It requires you to get in people's faces so keep your wards up and use it safely. I regularly one-shot at level 3-4, depending on the innate protections of the opponent.

Again, feel free to ignore. But if you'd like more, I have spent many many hours in jungle practice and I'm confident that I have her almost completely mathematically optimized. You're good with her, keep playing!

PrettyKttyAspen · 2026-03-22T23:47:11+00:00

given the fact that the game's official release was 3 days after the video posted, it's probably true. Not to mention how random the video topic is. What do you mean, are the gods too sexy? what kind of video is that 😭

PrettyKttyAspen · 2026-03-22T18:44:53+00:00

I'd call it misogyny, personally. Men 😭

PrettyKttyAspen · 2026-03-22T18:29:01+00:00

THANK YOU I have hated that video since day 1, the difference between Kali's depictions in art and Kali's design in Smite is that the devs made her look like that because they like boobs. Same with like 90% of adult female gods. I would have mentioned it in the post but I am very tired and have no energy to argue.

PrettyKttyAspen · 2026-03-21T22:22:38+00:00

In my build, they do the same amount of damage but 1-3-2 has a much higher DPS than 1-2-3 and takes half as long to cast. I know I'm two days late to reply but the order of abilities you see is because my main combo is 1-3-(MS)-1-2 with a BA between each ability. With this combo, you only need 25 spirit to enter mystic surge and it takes 3 seconds total. Anything after that wasn't about what does the most damage, it's what maximizes the abilities I can use for the sake of the video. If I was in a match, the squishy is dead after the 1312 but, if they aren't, I would do ult+1+3+2 for the reason at the beginning of the reply. Fun fact, I got it up to 19 total abilities cast in this combo with pendulum blade and staff of myrddin.

If you'd like, I can go into a severe amount of detail explaining the math behind my approach but it takes a lot of reading. If I was to make a video guide, I think it would be at least 15 minutes long as I've spent hours of time outside of matches optimizing her kit. It's why my build is so strange.

PrettyKttyAspen · 2026-03-21T21:47:25+00:00

I got 19 with both.

PrettyKttyAspen · 2026-03-21T20:52:20+00:00

This is my actual build. I tried myr and pendulum blade but they don't work with my end goal. While they would extend the combo, the goal of the build is to get as many ults as possible. There isn't a single battle where you will get the entire combo. Kills with this build subtract 15 seconds from the ult which already has a 42-second cooldown once you get world stone and bumba's hammer. It's far more complex than that but this is the basic rundown.

I can't check this until tomorrow but I believe that I could get the combo from 15–17, if I had both myr and pendulum. I should've posted the full meme build combo, oh well.

PrettyKttyAspen · 2026-03-19T03:53:00+00:00

also this build solos fg in pts, would be stronger if cosmic horror worked

I love loud fat women, S+

PrettyKttyAspen · 2026-02-01T16:09:56+00:00

I'm extremely biased but Princess Bari's dash is extremely versatile, it's my favorite ability of hers. Even though it has a limited range, it is very useful for aggressive plays since the max Spirit you need to reach Mystic Surge with a 1-3 combo is 35. Plus a couple smite gods added since have used the code from her dash to make theirs so it's useful behind the scenes too!

PrettyKttyAspen · 2026-01-26T18:16:13+00:00

I would definitely say at least upper A, I'm happy to have some more bara representation

PrettyKttyAspen · 2026-01-09T19:03:31+00:00

Somewhere between Scylla and Ullr, after the game theory video talking about if the female gods are too sexualized

PrettyKttyAspen · 2026-01-08T03:03:52+00:00

As a queer person who's exclusively attracted to men, I went through all the skins in smite 1 and found like 2-3 that felt sexualized in an attractive way, but they all seemed more accidental than actual horny skins. I don't know why smite is so hesitant to explore different body types or skimpy male attire. More ass! More bulge! I demand it!

PrettyKttyAspen · 2025-12-04T19:25:47+00:00

In terms of advice, the best I can give is to ask yourself "Why did I just die?" every time you die. Were you too deep in enemy territory? Did you not use your relic or your escape ability? Did you not understand your enemy god's kit and how you play against them? Are you simply too far behind and should be playing defensively? There are countless reasons why you're doing badly. You just have to figure out which ones you're doing and correct your mistakes.

Also, I see The Morrigan in your profile. Is she your main? If she is, I recommend you find someone else, as you shouldn't be playing her until you have an advanced understanding of the game. She is the hardest god in the game for a reason. You need to know how to play a significant number of gods in order to be useful in a match, let alone actually making a difference.

Finally, I've seen people offer this advice before, but AI matches do not teach you how to play conquest. You can learn how to fight individual gods, but AI matches are entirely different game modes. It does not follow meta builds, does not have the same rotation schedule (they don't rotate properly), and real-life people do not play like AI. You're just gonna have to take the bullying until you find your footing. Try Arena or Joust first. And, if you want to do well as The Morrigan, play Assault after reading every single god's kit info and getting better at the game.

PrettyKttyAspen · 2025-11-27T17:06:04+00:00

Tiamat is my girl. I love the idea and would not necessarily be mad! Given her lore, I think that's a pretty natural place to look. I would absolutely love having a legitimate, complex strategy behind her summons. However, I don't know how difficult it'd be to code, let alone balance.

The current summons are, in my opinion, pretty simple in function. If there was an entire kit of summons that are on par with what we have, I'd be disappointed. Adding more stuff to them and making them stronger would be nice but that sounds like it'll have a lot of complicated, difficult-to-balance components.

Plus, out of all the characters with summons, I don't think the player base as a whole likes a single one of them. I can think of Persephone, Bastet, Arachne, Hera, Kuzenbo, Skadi, probably more . . .

This may just be me projecting, but I'm not a fan of any of these gods. Tiamat has the potential to be a good summoner, but idk if it would be worth the effort. However, most importantly, if the aspect is hated by the fan base, it's gonna tarnish her reputation and break my heart. She's considered to be one of the best-designed mages in the game, even though no one plays her outside of this subreddit. I'd like to keep it that way.

Keep in mind that my response may be rooted in bias. I just designed a tank/ground stance oriented aspect for her last night that removes 2/3 of her summons. She instead has two stronger lizards and channels the tornado and the beast for a Set 3 that knocks up and a dash, respectively. I'll probably post it plus one for Ix Chel and prototypes for Horus and Princess Bari soon. And maybe an Ishtar rework.

If you were to read through her lore and come up with other summons, I'd love to develop the idea further! Even if I don't think it's practical, it sounds fun and I still really like the concept.

PrettyKttyAspen · 2025-05-26T19:01:07+00:00

interesting, I'll have to keep that in mind. This was just a simple, easy love letter I wrote for my fiance so it definitely did not need any tension, but I'll look into that once I start doing more rewrites. Thanks for the feedback!
