Serqet Guide
Serqet is a lethal assassin in SMITE with high damage and mobility, allowing her to dominate the early game and snowball matches. From the first wave, play aggressive in lane and look for easy kills to gain an early advantage. Focus on poking your opponent under tower and proxy farming waves to deny them farm. Punish them hard for any mistakes with your full combo.
Serqet works best in the solo lane or jungle. In solo, she counters many warriors and guardians thanks to her true damage and mobility. Ask for ganks if facing a tough lane bully though. In the jungle, farm to level 5 then gank duo or mid since your damage and crowd control guarantees kills. Avoid support as she lacks hard CC.
Max Cobra’s Kiss first for more damage and a lower cooldown. Use it to engage, get kills or peel allies. Then level Deathbane to increase damage, lower the cooldown and dash through enemies, dealing damage and applying on-hit effects. Use it to dodge, chase or escape. Finally, level Venomous Bite when possible. It deals huge damage, slows and reduces healing. Use it to engage, chase or execute kills.
In team fights, dive the backline and blow up squishy mages or hunters out of position. If fighting for objectives like Fire Giant or Gold Fury, use your ultimate to zone enemies and secure the objective. Your high single target damage also makes you great at eliminating the enemy jungler. Help your team control vision so you can catch the enemy jungler alone. Overall, focus targets, eliminate damage dealers and you’ll carry your team to victory.
To build Serqet, start with Bumba’s Dagger in jungle or Warrior’s Blessing in solo, then build penetration and power. Recommended items include Jotunn’s Wrath, Brawler’s Beatstick, Titan’s Bane, The Crusher and Heartseeker. For defense, grab a Magi’s Cloak and Mantle of Discord. Boots should typically be Warrior Tabi for power.
Be extremely careful before level 5 as you lack an ultimate escape. Choose your fights wisely and avoid 1v2s or 1v3s early on. Ward regularly to avoid ganks since Serqet needs to be ahead to thrive. You fall behind other assassins if behind, so be proactive and aggressive especially early.
Once you have ult, look for kills often but don’t force unfavorable fights. Help your jungler contest mid camps and objectives when your ultimate is up to turn the tide. During mid game, rotate constantly and gank lanes to get further ahead. Push towers as a team when possible as Serqet struggles to take them alone. Late game, group up and team fight, using your ultimate and combo to eliminate priority targets. End the match before late game if possible since Serqet falls off compared to other gods.
In summary, Serqet is an deadly assassin who dominates the early game. Play aggressive early, gank often and blow up squishy enemies. Build power and penetration, rotate constantly and group up to end matches before late game. Focus on picking targets during team fights and deleting them from the match. Use your mobility and damage to carry your team to victory by eliminating key opponents. With practice, you’ll master Serqet and climb the ranks through her sheer killing potential.
