Tap each threat level to view Bakasura’s threats
Decent damage, good escape tool, good knockback tool, and an ult to destroy your minions and you at the same time.

This is a dangerous fight. High sustain due to passive and item builds. A long range stun that will keep you in place and an ult that will typically out damage you if they are good with hitting it.

Good CC with a huge annoying shield to stop you from insta-killing his teammates is going to make this fight difficult almost 100% of the time. Paired with a good aoe ult and usually you will come out losing this fight.

Huge threat if single'd out. Will typically sleep you and have his two teammates gang up on you if your by yourself. Stay with your team but that wont save you if your the fed one as he will typically target you.

The Bain of my existence! This is more of a hate thing then really anything else. Im sorry but a lane wide AOE silence in joust is just not okay. Typically you can destroy if you have beads but beads are not always up. She is sometimes hard to catch and the silence typically will stop your all-ins. Paired with a Geb and say goodbye to ever killing this nightmare of a character.

Due to long cooldowns, Cabrakan can be a pain to deal with. Not a total loss but seriously just annoying and overall difficult to deal with at times. Try to avoid as much as you can.

Decent CC with an ult to take your attention away. Typically in joust will take your allies attention away and the other two gods will usually be able to kill you if your not careful. Due to this, Cthulhu can just be a paid like Cabrakan to deal with but isnt impossible to fight at all.

Its not the ult or her getaway that makes this matchup horrible for a Bakasura. Its usually the fact with this build, you will end up two shotting your own marksman or mage with her root ability. Try to stay as far away as possible from your teammates in this matchup and pick your fights and you may have a chance to win this.

Hercules is not unbeatable but most people by now knows how this matchup is. If you dont kill him, he is surely going to kill you. Not much else to say really.

Just a huge annoyance! Tiny knockup that just CC's you enough to not be able to fully go in. His 3 that will bring you into his team to kill you. Plus a built in thorn will basically make it difficult to deal with.

Everyone loves and hates ymir. Not much to say here but to stay away from him as much as possible and rely on him wasting his cooldowns on the tank or warrior to go in.

If she catch you out, you are dead due to how squishy you are but extremely winnable in a 1v1 due to her only form of cc being a skillshot and her ult being a skillshot as well making her only viable damage her aoe burst circle.

Tap each synergy level to view Bakasura’s synergies
Most tanks with huge cc are typically always ideal for Bakasura. Ares ult is a strong tool when used correctly can nat typically a huge combo but beads will always need to be baited before.
Array ( [god] => Array ( [god_id] => 23 [display_name] => Ares [url] => ares ) [scoreVal] => 1 [notes] => Most tanks with huge cc are typically always ideal for Bakasura. Ares ult is a strong tool when used correctly can nat typically a huge combo but beads will always need to be baited before. ) 1

Most tanks with huge cc are typically always ideal for Bakasura. Geb has a great AOE stun and knockup with a shield for Bakasura that can be a huge help. Always great to have a geb blink and ult.

Another off meta tank basically due to being a warrior who relies more on tankiness and has built in damage than needing items but a good one at that. Odin ult is all I have to say for this one. Keeps the enemy locked in for a long while and can do a lot of burst early allowing Bakasura to kill quicker./

Most tanks with huge cc are typically always ideal for Bakasura. Great CC and an amazing ult to pile everyone up for you in one spot.

Most tanks with huge cc are typically always ideal for Bakasura. What else can I say? Freeze, slowing ult circle, and a wall to block enemies makes him amazing for a lot of characters.

Most tanks with huge cc are typically always ideal for Bakasura. This is one of those cases where a tank isnt optimal but provides a lot for Bakasura. The ult is an amazing tool if used correctly to block escapes and allow Bakasura to do damage. Problem usually is that the Cabrakans are melee based on most abilities and can't go in without taking a lot of damage. Still very strong and a good Cabrakan will carry a whole team anyways.

An ult that make people unable to fight back is an amazing teamfight tool and provides bakasura a huge advantage.

Great long range stun and healing to keep Bakasura alive.
Array ( [god] => Array ( [god_id] => 40 [display_name] => Chang'e [url] => change ) [scoreVal] => 2 [notes] => Great long range stun and healing to keep Bakasura alive. ) 1
Again, one of those strong double ult combo's with bakasura like Da Ji but double assassins are not great on joust.

If you go with a marksman in joust or anymode tbh, this is another strong pick due to the ult. Now Cernunnos has more CC in his kit than medusa but the long stun can be beneficial. Only issue with medusa is the windup time for the ults drops the rating from ideal to strong due to the cast time.
Array ( [god] => Array ( [god_id] => 64 [display_name] => Medusa [url] => medusa ) [scoreVal] => 2 [notes] => If you go with a marksman in joust or anymode tbh, this is another strong pick due to the ult.

Great damage with okay CC. Reason I put Poseidon in the strong category is the whirlpool that makes it easy for Bakasura to clean up or secure kills which is usually paired with the Poseidon ult making it a very deadly combo if hit.

Most tanks with huge cc are typically always ideal for Bakasura. Sylvanus has really strong CC but is not as easy to hit as some of the other characters which puts him a little lower on the list. Outside of that, he is a great pick with Bakasura.

Most tanks with huge cc are typically always ideal for Bakasura. Yemoja is good but not the best. Has sustain to provide to bakasura with some good cc. Not the best but still strong.

Decent ults on both regular and rage form. Not the best setup but can help take pressure off of Bakasura to clean up.
Array ( [god] => Array ( [god_id] => 89 [display_name] => Cu Chulainn [url] => cu-chulainn ) [scoreVal] => 3 [notes] => Decent ults on both regular and rage form. Not the best setup but can help take pressure off of Bakasura to clean up. ) 1
Great ult to pull in people but not great to run double assassin in joust. Use at your own risk but very rewarding if pulled off correctly with a Bakasura ult.
Array ( [god] => Array ( [god_id] => 88 [display_name] => Da Ji [url] => da-ji ) [scoreVal] => 3 [notes] => Great ult to pull in people but not great to run double assassin in joust. Use at your own risk but very rewarding if pulled off correctly with a Bakasura ult. ) 1
Gilgamesh is a great warrior but can lack in hard CC due to his 2 being a skill shot. Doesnt matter though if he can ult and keep a target in his ult the whole time. Bakasura will use this at his advantage but watch out for AOE damage to pop you.

Horus is that off meta tank basically. Can do a lot of damage while also staying tanky and ccing the enemy. Issue is, His 2 is a stun that is a skill shot. His 1 is a very close range knockup that requires his 2 most of the time to be used first. His ult isnt great if the team has better CC and stun. Also has very long cooldowns. But can be a nice matchup with Bakasura if played by an experienced player to keep him alive and keep the enemy CC'd long enough.

Hi I am WatchersGrim
I am a Veteran to the game but not a constant player. I have been playing since beta on PC and have been a Bakasura main the entire time though I do tend to drop off for a couple months to a year and come back just to play a month or two. My Bakasura is only Diamond 2 while the rest of my characters are mastery 5 or below with only 5 characters past mastery 1. I may not be the most credited Bakasura main but I have played for a long time with him gaining me some knowledge to how to play and what to do. I may seem off meta but I prefer this compared to any other build out there.
So why crit of all things?
Well I prefer the burst damage it provide with the cleave from ult. Its maximum glass cannon damage on a character that has built in true damage on auto's So why not go crit? I do understand that it may not instantly destroy tanks but when you can two shot a squishy at full build and stay alive the entire time, it seems like a better choice.
So what mode is this build for?
Technically, this build can be used on anymode outside of conquest due to not needing a starter item in most other modes. Yes starter items help but why use them when you can rush the most important item(Hastened Katana)? I pretty much have only played Joust as I do not like the amount of time nor how conquest works. I like quicker matches and not as much grinding in the sense.
Some item tips
Some don't think its important but I find it crucial to Bakasura. I believe Hastened Katana is the best item on Bakasura. Why you ask? Its all about the movement! Bakasura is a squishy target and is a glass cannon. To counter this weakness in some slight way, Hastened Katana allows him to stay mobile while still autoing. With Regurgitate slowing and sometimes if eaten enough minions or jungle monsters can block people. It allows you to auto and keep momentum while being harder to hit with CC or skill shots keeping you alive a little longer. Pair that with crit working on his ults cleave damage and lifesteal. You will have one mean fast munching boi!
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.
