Introduction

Hi, this guide is brought to you by lestimics. I started playing Smite 1 on PC in 2014. I've been playing competitively since 2020 and have been a professional Smite player from 2021 to 2023. I've played on different teams like JustF6, Gilded Gladiators or Tartarus Titans.

You can check out the SmiteVOD YouTube channel where my recorded professional games are. I've peaked at 3500 MMR GrandMaster/Masters in Ranked Conquest on the PC platform every season since 2018. I've also done Smite Masters (LAN) 4 times in 2022, so I really think I have the knowledge to guide on the Solo role in SMITE 2.

I hope you find this guide as a useful learning resource for playing Achilles as Solo.

Here are my socials:

Abilities

Achilles's Abilities

Passive -

While in the fountain, can choose to wear armor, granting him bonus health and protections, or take off your armor, granting him bonus movement speed and physical power.

To swap, use a basic attack while the passive targeter is active.

I recommend you take off your armor to gain more strength, but both are good.

Ability 1 -

deals damage in a cone shape with a large range, within this cone enemies that are you will do more damage and stun.

It is important to use it when you are close to deal more damage and stun. It also goes through walls.

Ability 2 -

get a bonus physical power, protections, and crowd control reduction for 6 seconds. While this ability is active, will heal himself upon successfully damaging enemies with abilities.

It is important before using any skill to activate to be able to do more damage and heal yourself.

Ability 3 -

makes a small dash in the direction you want. After the dash you can do damage in a straight line forward, if successfully hits an enemy god with this hit, can use this ability one more time before it goes on cooldown.

is the skill with which you will do the most damage to enemies because you can combo it with basics and get close to enemies to use

Ultimate -

dashes forward and attacks. While dashing, will pass through minions, stop and hit the first enemy god he encounters, dealing damage to all he hits and executing gods below 35% Health. If you kills a god with this ability, you can use it again, up to 5 times.

If you kill a god with you can use your other skills before using again.

Example Combos:

> > basic attack > [skill=Combat Dodge version=2 > basic attack > >

> > basic attack > > basic attack > > basic attack >

Remember that you can use while you are ulting.

How to play Achilles

Gameplay Start / Early Game

Start at the Fire Giant side in the lane. You have to push as fast as possible so try to hit all the minions and the enemy god with Shield of Achilles and you will have to keep hiting basics until you have the skill to finish pushing again.
If you have managed to push very quickly you can go to the blue buff, but if you have not managed to push quickly, stay one more wave to be able to level up to get Combat Dodge and do the blue buff later more easy.
The following moves are push the lane and try to win the Totem (Totem gives gold for all the team and mana regeneration). Starting at level 3, you push very quickly with Shield of Achilles and Combat Dodge and you will be able to get the Totem (Totem gives gold for the entire team and mana regeneration) and be able to invade the harpies on the sides or quickly make your own to continue creating pressure, in addition to the fact that you have very good 1vs1 thanks to the damage you have Achilles
On the side camps you can kill the gold camp which doesn't give you experience but a lot of gold, and the two harpy camps give gold and experience. Also if you have pressure online you can invade their harpies too.
Remember to buy wards to avoid the ganks and try to comunicate to the jungle to invade blue buffs or try to kill the solo laner.

Mid Game:

At this point of the game, which is roughly between 10:00 and 20:00 minutes, you have to push the lanes as quickly as possible and try to rotate, either by using the teleports of the sides of the lane for the duo lane or rotating to the mid lane.
If you do mid lane rotations, Achilles has a lot of potential to play with the team behind because he has very good tanking and with the stun of Shield of Achilles it is very easy to follow and be able to look for a kill on the mage or the support., if you manage to kill someone or get enough pressure, you can get to do the Gold Fury or the Pyromancer.
If you use the teleporter from the solo to the duo lane, you have to do the same play but trying to kill the carry or the support and gain the pressure to be able to do the Gold Fury.

Late Game:

At this point in the game your job is to be the frontline with the support as teamfights start around the fire giant at around minute 25:00.
You have to harass, poke, look for stuns and kill the enemy carry, mid and jungler as they are the most dangerous for your team.
To deal with this type of situation you have to play with the team all together because Achilles in late game alone is not very useful, but playing with the team looking for stuns with Shield of Achilles and executing at the moment with the ultimate Fatal Strike.
The moment you have the fire giant buff, the sieges on the Phoenix begin. Here you have to continue taking advantage of your potential to poke the enemy gods and looking for stuns or executes and destroy the Phoenix with the help of your carry and mid. You can also go with your jungle to another Phoenix to create pressure since you have a lot of defense to tank and your jungle can do good damage to the Phoenix easily, adding to the fact that you have a very good fight.
If the enemy has the fire giant and it is your turn to defend the Phoenix, you have to be in a group with your team and defend under the Phoenix, being careful with the picks.
Constantly call for all information, when you engage try to be followed by your team, always be sure of your decision making.
Remember to wards all the zone on fire giant and when you are sieging you need wards too.

How to ward as Solo

White circles:

Green circles:

Early/Mid Game

Here you can see the best spots to ward as a Sololaner.

These wards will help you to know where the enemy sololaner is moving, as well as if the jungler is trying to gank you.

High Pressure Game

These wards are when you have a lot of pressure in lane and you want to invade blue buffs and red buffs. Remember to call your team that you want to invade so they can help you.

Late Game

These wards are for fire giant teamfights. Remember that you can only have 2 wards active at the same time, so you will need help from your team to ward the entire area from the fire giant.

Siege/Defense Phoenix

These wards are very important when it comes to sieges and defending phoenixes. In this case, the wards are the same whether you defend or attack.
This wards are important because mages often cast abilities through walls, you will be able to react better to their abilities.
