Hello everyone,

I saw a YouTube video about animation cancelling in Smite and wanted to ask a few questions about it.

First off, is there still animation cancelling in Smite? Or has it been taken out or something like that?

Second of all, is it considered glitching, exploiting, or cheating?

Third, how important is it to do?

And finally, how do you do it?

Thank you very much for your time.

Animation cancelling is using the delay before or after an animation to either increase your damage output by getting an extra basic attack or ability in or skip over parts in your attack speed chain.

I loved this article which helped me a lot on the subject: [link]

Is there a delay in between one ability and the next? It seems like sometimes I'll try to use two abilities in quick succession and the second one doesn't go off. I was thinking maybe it was something like, hitting right click after an ability so you could use the next one quicker.

Its not on all abilties but yes some do have a delay where you can sneak a basic attack in. Give me an example because it differs from each skill set.

The most similar thing I can think of what you're talking about is skipping over a certain part of a god's basic attack swing chain. A lot of times the last swing would deal more damage but take a longer time. You get more dps in general if you use the animation cancelling on certain gods. You hit twice, use an ability,bhut twice, use an ability etc. Was a huge thing for arachne when she came out before it got modified or something like that.

Don't be afraid to show a little appreciation and hit that rep button whenever you feel like I helped you out!

SmiteFire & Smite

Smite is an online battleground between mythical gods. Players choose from a selection of gods, join session-based arena combat and use custom powers and team tactics against other players and minions. Smite is inspired by Defense of the Ancients (DotA) but instead of being above the action, the third-person camera brings you right into the combat. And, instead of clicking a map, you use WASD to move, dodge, and fight your way through the detailed graphics of SMITE's battlegrounds.
