The vision on the map and Farming (Last Hitting) | The basics of the game Smite Guide

As in other MOBA games, the vision and clarity of the map in SMITE is very important. The majority of the map is hidden in the Fog of War and you can't see what's in it until you get in there with your character or until one of the team members goes there. The map is illuminated by some of the characters' abilities, minions. But, the most popular way to keep the clarity of the map is the usage of Wards, which are available in the shop.

Different kinds of Wards

	Ward: Normal Wards, which are available in the shop for 75 of gold, illuminate the map for 3 minutes and then they disappear. You can have two Wards in your bag pack and any three totems on the map (they include Wards, Sentry Wards and totems from the Eye of Providence items) at the same time. Wards can be destroyed by your enemy, but he/she needs to have Sentry Wards because Wards are invisible.
	Sentry Ward: It is available in the shop for 135 of gold. It is more expensive because it senses the invisible hostile Wards and Sentry Wards. It illuminates the map for three minutes and then it disappears. You can have one Sentry Ward in your bag pack and one three totems on the map (including Wards, Sentry Wards and totems from the Eye of Providence items) at the same time.

The usage of Wards

The usage of Wards is very Simple. You Just Reed to buy one in the shop and then leave it on the map in the place that you want it to be.

The Osage of Wards is very Simple and it is good to remember about them.

The violet circle is the scope in which the Ward can be left. At the time of choosing the Ward you still can move around the map, therefore that scope can get bigger. After choosing the place you need to press Mouse Left Button and it is done. It is worth to invest in Wards because they guarantee safety to your team and they acquire a lot of information about your enemies, their position and plans.

The Last Hitting

The Last Hitting getting gold for killing minions. At the beginning of the game the Last Hitting is slower, but it gets faster with time. Good farm allows one to buy better items, that in turn makes the champions grow stronger. Farm is described by the idea of the Creep Score (CS), which basically is the number of the killed minions and neutral monsters. CS grows ONLY by the Last Hitting.
