Out of curiosity, how does Smite prioritize skills? Assuming that there's a sort of hierarchy in place, rather than "if skill A was used after skill B" in order, would a dash take precedence over a grab?

The skills in question: Fearless (assault stance) on Tyr vs. Special Delivery on Mercury, as an example. If I were in the middle of Fearless and Mercury came in with his 3, would I dash him away like every other god? Or would he interrupt my dash and grab me instead?

Dunno, but I've always pondered on these things. Same with a He Bo vs a He Bo using Tidal Wave, if they are hitting each other with same angle of impact, who hits who, and if they both hit while on low hp, would they both die?

Arachne ult vs Arachne ult raises a simlair question, unless it gives CC immunity for the duration of the pull - I can't remember.
That's just my 2 cents.






Oy! Give me some privacy.

It would depend on when in the dash you are I think (I've been knocked out of Special Delivery by Tyr, but I've also taken Tyr out of Fearless with Special Delivery). So my guess is that if Tyr is at the point where he is supposed to knock you up he will be prioritized, it might also just depend on the angle of the dashes.

Would love to test it out if anyone want's to join me on Dolby and try it out, I'll be on in like an hour :P

I wish there was a definitive word on this from HiRez. Not that it's any kind of "need to know" thing, it would just help in certain situations to know for sure that you have a skill that could straight up counter another god's skill. I see Mercury counter so much stuff with his grab, I want to see someone bounce it back on him for once.

And yeah, I've hit Mercury with Fearless while he used Special Delivery on me from straight ahead and it picked him up. Maybe it's dependent on the angle he comes at you from.

I'd be willing to test it sometime when I'm next online.
