Smite 2: Aladdin Build Guide - Open Beta 1

Aladdin enters Smite 2’s Open Beta as a dynamic and versatile mage-assassin hybrid, offering a unique playstyle through his ability to manipulate wishes and leverage the power of the Genie. With an arsenal of skills that reward strategic decision-making and precise execution, Aladdin is an exciting choice for players who enjoy adaptability in combat. In this guide, we’ll explore why you should play Aladdin, break down his strengths and weaknesses, and provide insights on how to maximize his potential on the battlefield.

From a resourceful street urchin scraping by with his mother, to a Sultan guided by powerful Genies, Aladdin’s journey spans poverty, deception, magic, and unexpected fortune. Once an aimless youth known more for his misdeeds than his ambition, Aladdin found himself caught in the web of a cunning sorcerer. Disguised as a caring uncle, this sorcerer promised Aladdin wealth if he would retrieve a mysterious Lamp from a dangerous, trap-filled cave. Expecting the young man to meet his end, the sorcerer underestimated Aladdin’s resilience—and the power of a lesser Genie hidden within a simple ring he provided.

Through this Genie’s aid, Aladdin not only survived but secured the Lamp and the powerful Genie within it. That moment set him on a path from impoverished mischief-maker to a leader of his people, gaining wealth, influence, and ultimately earning his place as the Sultan.

In Smite 2, Aladdin has reached this pinnacle. Surrounded by loyal followers drawn to his optimism and charisma, he rules with the Lamp’s Genie at his side. Yet uncertainty looms. Whether it’s the sorcerer’s machinations or the watchful eyes of the gods, Aladdin will face these trials head-on. His past has prepared him to make the most of any opportunity, and the Genies ensure he won’t face the struggle alone.

Aladdin’s kit makes him one of the most flexible and impactful gods in Smite 2. Here are a few reasons why you should consider picking him:

1. Unique Wish Mechanic

Aladdin’s passive, Three Wishes, lets him alter the flow of the match. Whether you need a gold boost for an early lead, an instant revival to maintain pressure, or cooldown resets to secure critical objectives, his wishes provide unmatched utility.

2. High Mobility and Burst Potential

Skills like Sultan’s Grace and Agile Run grant Aladdin incredible mobility, allowing him to reposition or chase down opponents effectively. Combined with the bonus effects from Genie’s Strength, he can quickly eliminate high-value targets in a fight.

3. Control and Duel Power

Aladdin’s ultimate, Into The Lamp, is a game-changing ability that forces a one-on-one duel with an enemy god. It’s perfect for isolating a critical target or turning the tide of battle in your team’s favor.
