Day 4 - Assault, Nemesis, and Cupid

I played a couple characters that were pretty new to me while running Assault. I think I do enjoy the other game types more if it was purely about the type, but the community for assault is definitely the best and toxicity increases as you move away from it.

Nemesis is one of the many hot women of Smite. She doesn't have the top of her head visible, but the rest is all in order. She's an assassin with a few options, a short little burst sprint type thing that you can use twice in the direction of your choosing.  She's got this sort of sweeping frontal with a stun move that seems to be her ma in damage then. A brief immunity to damage and her ultimate super cripples a target opponent. I don't really like this type of character for assault, you can't really sneak up on people in a single lane with no jungle.

I did use her ultimate to debuff for my allies though which seemed to work well. I'd sort of stay close by and try to whack anyone with my sweeping attack for the stun if they came in close to my allies. It wasn't bad and I'm sure a lot more could be done with her.

I also played Cupid, who is well... cupid. I basically played this character by spamming their second ability which pops out a few little hearts to heal your allies. I'd drop my ultimate, slow and damage after a few seconds, anytime a few enemies grouped together and shoot anyone with my first ability which is a straight line shot of damage, with a delayed second damage effect a few seconds later. You get a bonus stuff if you've stacked 8 hits on enemies with your bow which isn't hard to do.

My strategy that seemed to work well, for me at least was heart spamming like crazy. If anyone came after me I'd try and hit them with my first ability then dart away with my third ability which is just a straight line get away strip with an attack speed buff. If they did follow me you can turn around and pepper them with a bunch of arrows. I think I did well since the enemy seemed to go crazy trying to kill me after a few minutes.  It was another fun day, but I have a lot of things to get done tomorrow so I'm not going to play much if at all.

Smite is still fun, but I sort of have that inkling of it's sort of scratching an itch, but still missing some spots we'll see how this pans out in a few more days.
