Smite 2: Geb Build Guide - Open Beta 1

Geb, the steadfast Guardian of Earth, returns to Smite 2 with a kit designed to protect allies, disrupt enemies, and turn the tide of battle with powerful crowd control and defensive abilities. His passive, Hard as a Rock, makes him a durable frontliner, while his unique shielding and disruptive capabilities make him a cornerstone in team compositions. This guide will explore Geb’s abilities, strengths, weaknesses, and offer tips to maximize his impact on the battlefield.

Behold the rumble from the deep, for it is the bellow of rock and stone. A titan of immortal ages has awoken from fitful slumber to crush all who tread upon his realm. A lumbering giant, patient, deliberate, unmovable; he is Geb, God of Earth. When a mortal’s heart is weighed in the halls of Ma’at, Geb sits among the Gods in judgment. Those burdened with guilt and regret are claimed by Geb and dragged through the earthen crust to the underworld. Hearts free of such heaviness are taught words of power and ascend to the sky. Ah, the sky. It is but the one thing Geb longs for. In his eye, she is glorious sapphire, an unreachable object. But it was not always so. Once, the earth and sky were as one, Geb and Nut, Goddess of the Sky, locked in a lover’s embrace. Ra deemed their union unfit and sent Shu, God of Wind, between them. In his rage, Geb thundered and broke the earth, but for naught, Nut was now forever out of reach. Though his desire has not weathered with the ages, Geb has rested peacefully for time immemorial, nurturing Mankind through bountiful harvest and stable ground for pyramids and palaces. It is the clash of Gods upon his surface that stirs him. He has risen to war, though his motives are unclear. Does he fight to prevent the destruction of his realm, or will he seize the chance to shatter the wind and reunite the earth and sky? Whatever the outcome, the earth will always remain.

Geb’s role as a Guardian focuses on mitigating damage, providing team utility, and controlling fights with crowd control abilities. His Stone Shield is a game-changing ability that can save allies from critical situations, while his ultimate, Cataclysm, delivers devastating area control. Whether you’re peeling for your carries or initiating fights, Geb’s robust kit ensures you remain an indispensable asset to your team.

Key Reasons to Play Geb:

• Exceptional Damage Mitigation: Hard as a Rock and Stone Shield offer unparalleled defensive capabilities for yourself and your teammates.

• Cooldown Reliance: Geb’s effectiveness is tied to his ability cooldowns; mismanagement can reduce his impact in fights.
