Surtr, better known as the Fire Giant, has been the most powerful monster in Conquest. Hailing from Muspelheim, Surtr enters the Nordic pantheon in Smite as a Warrior. Surtr is a fire giant bent on inciting fury against opposing gods, and this guide will assist you in constructing Surtr.
Smite's Surtr: How to Make It
Surtr should be positioned in the Solo lane, which will be his primary position. Due to his tankiness, he will be able to defeat Cthulhu as the best Solo lane god in the game. The relic you should bring with him is Teleport Fragment, which will increase his staying power in the lane and shorten the time spent in the Fountain.
When you play Smite Conquest, the list below outlines the most effective way to level up Surtr.
| Level | Skill |
|---|---|
| Level 1 | Flames of Muspell |
| Level 2 | Giant’s Grasp |
| Level 3 | Flames of Muspell |
| Level 4 | Emberwalk |
| Level 5 | End of Days (Ult) |
| Level 6 | Flames of Muspell |
| Level 7 | Flames of Muspell |
| Level 8 | Emberwalk |
| Level 9 | End of Days (Ult) |
| Level 10 | Flames of Muspell |
| Level 11 | Emberwalk |
| Level 12 | Emberwalk |
| Level 13 | End of Days (Ult) |
| Level 14 | Emberwalk |
| Level 15 | Giant’s Grasp |
| Level 16 | Giant’s Grasp |
| Level 17 | End of Days (Ult) |
| Level 18 | Giant’s Grasp |
| Level 19 | Giant’s Grasp |
| Level 20 | End of Days (Ult) |
Surtr's first ability, Flames of Muspell, must be maxed out first in this build. Emberwalk should be next, and by the time you reach level 14, you should have it maxed out. The remaining Giant's Grasp should be following, ending with the fifth point on your ultimate ability when you reach level 20.
When playing Conquest, Surtr is the best fit, and his items should reflect that. To allow for aggressive play, and to out-farm your opponent, getting a Bluestone Pendant is a good idea. Alternately, take the Warrior's Axe for a bit of lifesteal, which will increase your farming time and the time you spend in the lane.
For your main item build, pay attention to the opposing team's damage type. You should be at the forefront of every team fight and expect to be focused while you're in the thick of it. Your primary aim should be to get tanky items to increase your survivability in the beginning.
- Midgardian Mail
- Gladiator’s Shield
- Breastplate of Valor
- Bloodforge
- Heartseeker
The following items will help you better if the enemy team is mage-heavy.
Amulet of Heartbreak
Pestilence
The Magi's Cloak
Bloodforge is a fictional place.
Heartseeker
When you feel you have enough protection to stand up to the enemy's attention, and you can maintain your own, choose the build that works best for you. Depending on the matchup you're playing and your playstyle, you may have different experiences every time. Find the build that suits you the most. For example, Pestilence or Contagion are viable options if you need to have anti-heal.
