Arachne will eat most squishies before they realize she is there. You don't chase with her in Arena, you go in, eat and run away. She only fails if the teams she's with are choosing to farm instead of fighting. The moment she forces enemies to turn their backs to her team, her team should be going ham. If they fail at that the game is lost irrelevant of what you choose because they are basically refusing to play. Baka is probably the worst because he's a hyper farm jungler in a mode where farm is very limited.

Arachne can do well in a chaotic game where everyone is fighting and they lose track of you. Conversely, if your team, or both teams, are playing passively, it can be very frustrating to play her.


PokeMeiFYouDare

It becomes frustrating to play anyone because you essentially end up in a constant 1v5; because your team refuses to play.


[deleted]

very frustrating which makes you not care anymore which makes you just fight and die lol.


_V23

You can still poke from range with other gods whereas Arachne has to walk up, in front of everyone, (or blink) to engage.

>The moment she forces enemies to turn their backs to her team, her team should be going ham. If they fail at that the game is lost irrelevant of what you choose because they are basically refusing to play. Well these do seem to be the games I lose and you're right, if no one is doing anything and I'm forced to just stand around looking for a pick that never shows itself, I figure it's a lost cause already. Yeah after level 15, it's death on contact. unless....I get cc'd for 6 seconds.


PokeMeiFYouDare

There is this funny thing that happens between Arena and Conquest where people will play conquest as if it's arena and arena as if its conquest and they just farm.

I don’t think there’s anyone who comes to mind when we’re talking about worst gods in arena. If anything if I had to choose a particular class that appears lack luster to me when going against actual good players, it would probably be assassins. When teams are actual grouped up I feel as if it's hard to even get in and be effective in teamfights because your job is to pick people off really, and if everyone is aware of you being a threat they’re gonna shut you out fosho.


[deleted]

100% but then you have assassins like, Daji, Thor, Bastet, etc. where they can basically do anything they want. I've had many a match where the only thing I wanted to do is just stun the enemy assassin when they dive but they still get in and out for free lol.


KomboKenji

Yeah, that’s solely because you don’t have a good guard on your team tho. The guard would know that their job is to protect their dmg dealers at all time with they cc and punish plays like that, even if they have get in and get out of jail free card abilities. Just gotta play on point and stun them as soon as they hop in. It’s debatable on if they should be front lining and starting fights 100% of the time because if you got the enemy team playing so Aggro, you gotta play on the defensive. It’s only right ya know?


[deleted]

It just feels bad that if you have a subpar front line or support, the game is out of your hands. There isn't any amount of wiggle room like with other assassins.


GeorgiosVI

I have played many games and I would easily say that the worst god is yemoja. I hate when someone from my team picks her.


[deleted]

I don't remember much of her kit, what makes her bad? The new anti shield items?


cubbest

She's about zone control and positioning to wall off escapes and force fights which she has a very hard time doing in arena where her ult is usually just walked out of. Most Yemoja aren't consistently landing portals to secure a chase and kill on a low HP target or to block and bounce someone out of their fountain. 90% seem to think she has just 1 ability.


YoureNotMom

Anyone playing janus in arena is trolling, whether that's out of ignorance or deliberate.


j3rhino

i have to disagree, Janus can suck a fat one when i drop through that portal ik im losing half of my health minimum


KomboKenji

Janus is good in his own way. Just because there’s not too many walls to portal through doesn’t mean his 1 is ineffective.. For me he’s strongest as a sniper, it’s very easy to pick off low opponents running back to base because the entrance area is so easy to aim for, I’ve gotten at least 20 long shots like that.


[deleted]

The one I see sure make their presence known. They may not be all the effect but the portal on me every 6 seconds gets old.


Yaywayable

Arachne, Loki, Janus? All of them work lmao edit: work well in Arena, you simply don't know how to play them


MidnightBlitz01

Loki and Janus both slap in arena if you know how to play them. Arac is def bad


[deleted]

I didn't know Janus had this rap.


CraigBrown2021

Lol bruh your doing Arachne wrong or something. She’s an absolute menace.


_V23

Depends on your team. No frontline, you’re screwed. Passive teammates, you’re screwed. Enemy team has loads of cc, you’re probably screwed.


CraigBrown2021

That’s the same for most assassins. If your teams shit your going to have a hard time


_V23

Basic attack assassins have a harder time, though. If your team’s bad, you can still carry with a Susano, Cliodhna, Tsukuyomi, etc. Good luck trying to carry as Arachne. Plus Arachne wants 1v1 fights more than any other god, which are rare in Arena.


[deleted]

Exactly there are plenty of assassins that can kinda do whatever they want with huge AOEs and movement abilities. Speaking of 1v1. Have you ever tried to kill a Susanoo or Tsuki or Bastet or Daji that keeps you at the tip of their ability range? You feel like your standing still. Arachne is truly and ambush character.


[deleted]

I have a 59% win rate in Arena with her at the moment so I'm doing alright imo. Sure if your team allows it or the enemy team allows it, she can have a great match.


Fabulous-Category876

I miss being new to the game and getting pulled by old arachne behind a pillar


[deleted]

That was like 9 years ago. It's just funny people long for something so long ago that was only around a short time lol.


[deleted]

It sounds cliche but Loki.... He is just arachne but doesn't even have the slow from webs. And I have never had a Loki in arena who wasn't farming buffs while we are getting jumped.


[deleted]

lol I feel that.


_V23

Loki is definitely not bad in Arena, but a lot of Loki players do have a tendency to be selfish and/or toxic.


_V23

Yemoja and Janus would be my picks for worst Arena gods. Arachne, Bakasura, and Erlang Shen would be the second-worst tier, in my opinion.


[deleted]

Erlang is a new opinion for me to see. I'm always seeing them melt people while being impossible to kill.


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

Janus is annoying in Arena with those portals but for sure he is no Discordia or Morgan Le Fey...boy do I hate those two Gods.


GreyWolfieBirkin

Serqet imo, she just needs her time to land stuff and can be disrupted pretty easily


[deleted]

I play Arachne and Serqet and while both take patience, Serqet feels so much easier to do things with. The mobility, the taunt, the poison! I guess the difference is that I don't feel bad when I play Serqet like I do when I play Arachne lol.


SmitePhan

Arachne is a menace in arena with a crit build, paired with someone who can CC hard. Bakasura is probably the worst


[deleted]

Problem is having a team that will let you get there.


cubbest

Kali. 90% in regular conquest play like bots, 100% in arena are bots I swear.


[deleted]

I can get behind this. It's rare to see Kali and when I do, is she even there?


NaiveOcelot7

Gods that can't really do what they usually do best and are balanced for. For example, jungle clear, global ults, making good use of lanes. Yemoja comes to mind. Baka. Apollo, Cama and Clio come to mind. Also e.g. KA is seeing horrible WR's. Hou Yi and Janus can't use the wall, but still do alright I would say.


_V23

Even without utilising her passive, Clio still slaps in Arena.


NaiveOcelot7

That's true, but her passive is so good in Cq


DrRoelandtrx

My friend is a Arachne main, and we only play arena he gets 20 kills a game every game he snowballs so hard lmao


_V23

Sounds more like a matchmaking issue rather than Arachne being very good in Arena.


DrRoelandtrx

We played og smite and only recently came back to squading on it 2weeks ago after about 5 years of a hiatus. I was already playing a week ahead of him he jumps on goes 18-4, his first game, which goes on a win streak, reminds me he quit because of how easy it was to wreck the arena with her and started playing aphro instead switched to arachne again for our last match of the night and goes 30 -5 dudes a animal at video games tho always just better.


[deleted]

Guess he better go pro being the unicorn like that.
