All Aspects in SMITE 2 and how to use them

SMITE 2 is now available for free as the game’s open beta has been made available free-to-play for all users, and God Aspects is something you’ll need to understand properly.

This feature was added earlier when the game was still in its alpha stage, and they altered the way certain characters work. Not every character has an Aspect of writing, and you’ll have to select carefully which ones you want to use.

Let’s first take a look at all the available Aspects in SMITE 2, and how you can use them efficiently.

How to use Aspects in SMITE 2

An Aspect, put simply, is a passive skill that has to be activated before the start of a match. It will be available at the starting screen of a match, right next to your available skins. You’ll have to select your character first and then decide if you want to activate the passive skill or not.

It’s not necessary to use an Aspect even if it’s available for your chosen God. If you do decide to use it, a small icon will indicate that your character skills and abilities will be different from their base versions. What’s interesting is the fact that your enemies will also be able to see if you have activated an Aspect or not.

This certainly creates a unique gameplay opportunity that will also affect your chosen builds. Right now, the currently available options are slightly limited. As the open beta rolls on and the final release date gets closer, I am expecting to find more options.
