...for their given roles (hunter, tank, support, assassin/jungler, mage). If there are any close calls what sets them apart from each other?

I am new to the game and while there are some threads on this subject none are on the first two pages so I can presume they are out of date.

For hunter, or how us old people like to call; carry. I have to say Apollo due to his world presence. Anhur and Neith are also quite good too.

For mage, I prefer going Agni or Ao Kuang. Poseiden is by far the best burst damage dealer in the game though. Ao Kuang on the other hand is the best flash farmer.

For sins, Ne Zha is still pretty dominant even after her nerf. Bakasura however is slowly gaining more of a following.

For Bruiser, most people either go Fenpup or Thor.

Tanks I haven't played in a while so I wouldn't know.

Don't play supports.

Hunter: I would also say Apollo for his global presence. He is the best split pusher in the game. Neith I place a close second for her global ult. Anhur is also an excellent choice for a skillful player. I place him third because his skill shots are harder to land. You have to be really good to get the most out of him, but if you are, he is totally viable and I would place him a hair behind Neith.

Mage: Agni because of his versatility. I think he has to be considered the best all around, perhaps almost perfect in that respect. Chronos is also a top choice for similar reasons. Zhong Kui and Posiden are fully viable. Au Kwang, He Bo, and Anubis can put out a ton of damage but I do not think they are versatile enough to be considered best, and they are all too vulnerable and very swishy. Agni is swishy as well but far more versatile and harder to nail down.

Assassins: Definitely Bakasura. He is a killing machine right now. You can even solo with him. Loki deserves and honorable mention for the same reasons. Ne Zha has fallen back a half step, and I would put Fenrir a little behind him.

Bruiser: It is between Thor and Hercules, Hercules gets my vote. Thor is a little to swishy for my taste, and harder to play than Herc. Both are somewhat flexible. Thor can jungle or partner in lane. Herc can partner in lane or solo.

Tanks: Sobek and Athena are top of the heap. Athena gets my vote but not by much. Bacchus is a very viable 3rd choice.

These are the gods I think are best, nor necessarily the ones I would play. I am basing my judgment not on personal experience but what is currently working on the pro level. If you are newer to the game or you skill level is not high, you may well prefer gods that are easier to understand and play. You might be more effective with them than with top gods that require greater skill to play. Gods like Fenrir are thought to be fairly easy to play, more straight forward, and generally get god results in normal.

In my vision :

Assassin :

Loki .Nothing more to say about Loki , high burst damage , stealth , minion kills without even getting close to them .

I was about to say Arachne but getting killed today by a few Bakasuras made me mention him here .His ultimate is just insane .

Mage :

Freya : Insane damage , awesome ultimate for securing a kill safely , nothing more to add .

Anubis .2 + 3 + 1/Ultimate = certain kill .I like it when people keep their distance from me when I play Anubis because of this amazing combo .

Agni : I've tried Agni today too and he's pretty amazing too .And he HAS an escape , he has a stun with 1/any ability combo and an amazing ultimate .

Carry :

Neith .Heal , stun , escape , global ultimate and nice basic attack damage .What more do you need ?

Tank :

Athena .Well , I almost never build her full tank because I am not good at tanking , played Athena 99% just 1 vs 1 and she is just amazing , most of the enemy players just didn't stood a chance .She is kind of a mage to me .

Bruiser :

Thor .He does so much damage with his Spin-to-Win , than he throws his hammer , teleports in front of you while you try to escape and you are killed .In case you manage to escape his 1 or 2 , no problem , for Thor has god a very ranged ultimate with a nice stun ready to ensure his kill .

Tyr : I hated this guy so much when he was released and of course I bought him to make other people hate Tyr too .He is so useful in Arena when you "Blink" behind somebody and bring him into your team's turf to kill .His stance change with cooldown reset is brilliant as you can easily get out of trouble after you killed someone or you missed that someone .

It seems like your asking the meaning of those roles. If not then my bad.

Hunter: As the name implies, are good at long range and chases. As well as dealing quick and painful damage.

Tank: Are good for initiating combat as well as preventing a team lose. With their hard CC they can ether start a successful gank or prevent a death. With their massive health and protections they can go in and out of combat easily to save someone or to initiate without to much worry.

Support: Supports are those that can heal and also do a bit of damage at the same time.


Assassins: Are experts at ganks and ambushes. Some that stun which in turn can leave they're opponent defencless and killed in a matter of a second with their fast attack speed. That's why they can jungle with their speed and skills.

Mage: Are those that can do real massive damage on one or more opponents. Valuable in ganks. Can easy clear waves of minions and depending on the god sometimes their better up close and personal.
