Game Modes

There are several different **Game Modes** in SMITE. Each mode has its own unique map with its own play style, rules and objectives. Common among each mode is the existence of minions and structures. The players can select to be placed in a queue for Normal Conquest, Arena, and Joust until they reach account level 15, additionally players between account levels 1-4 will only be able to play from Co-Op vs, AI matches, but will still have access to Slash and Assault via the Co-Op vs. AI queue and players between levels 5-29 can only queue PvP matches with other players of the same levels. After reaching level 15, all modes will become available.

## Conquest

In Conquest, two teams of five players fight off in a three-laned map.

This is a typical MOBA mode with two bases at opposite sides of the map connected by three lanes. Each lane is protected by two towers and a Phoenix.

The main objective of this mode is for players to assault the enemy defenses and destroy the Titan at the center of their base, while preventing the enemy from destroying theirs. The first team to destroy the enemy Titan wins.

## Arena

In Arena, two teams of five players in a small arena with no lanes nor towers. There are no Titans in this mode. Instead, to win, the players' objective is to reduce the enemy team's ticket counter to 0. Each team starts with 500 tickets and there are specific rules for reducing enemy tickets.

There are two exits to each base located on the leftmost and rightmost sides. There is an invulnerable Phoenix protecting each entrance. There are also neutral buff camps on the left and right sides of the arena.

## Assault

In Assault, two teams of five players are pitted against each other in a single lane. There are no jungle camps and the only goal is to push the minion waves and destroy all of the enemy's structures with the game ending at the death of a Titan.

Unlike other modes, the game picks a random God for each player. Players can *re-roll* their god, causing the game to select a different random one. Gods can also be swapped between players.

## Slash

Slash is a 5v5 Casual Game Mode that contains features from both Siege and Clash gamemodes. The map itself features two lanes defended by structures. The goal of each team is to push down the opponent's defenses and defeat the enemy Titan.

Players can expect to meet each other in the middle of the map which provides quick access to the major objectives, both lanes, and a central Damage (red) Buff that players will have to fight over. The layout means players will be fighting often and in large numbers, while looking for opportunities to push down the enemy team's defenses. Players can spawn Juggernauts for their team to push lanes. This monster has a moderate health pool and deals bonus damage to enemy structures.

## Siege

Siege used to be a regular mode that was removed from the game on January 25, 2022.

Standard lane minions spawned at the regular intervals and sizes, but for every 100 points a team earned, a Siege Juggernaut was spawned. Each team could earn points by accomplishing certain tasks. This super-sized monster had a large health pool and deals bonus damage to enemy structures. It was also possible to spawn a Siege Juggernaut by killing the neutral Wild Juggernaut in the center of the map.

There was a portal in each team's base that activates when that team had at least one Juggernaut on the battlefield. Entering the portal would transport the player instantly to their friendly Juggernaut.
