Upgrades

The following items upgrade Smite by granting additional effects:

• Skirmisher's Sabre grants Challenging Smite.
• Stalker's Blade grants Chilling Smite.

Strategy

• Smite is generally used for jungling. Beyond dramatically speeding up clear time, its high damage provides a strategic last-hit advantage at high-priority buffs like  Dragon and  Baron Nashor.
• Smite can also be used to push a lane more quickly. When doing so, it's generally best to save Smite for siege minions.
  • An unconventional use of Smite is to instantly and unexpectedly kill a minion to land skillshots such as Rocket Grab or Death Sentence on enemy champions behind it.
• Smite deals true damage, so it will always deal the stated amount; it cannot be reduced or amplified in any way other than a few exceptions, such as the bonus damage against the  Rift Scuttler under hard crowd control.
• Smite can target pets, such as  Tibbers, Voidlings by Malzahar, and bloblets of Zac. It's also a very effective counter to boxes de Shaco.
• Smite heals Hecarim while his Spirit of Dread is activated.
• Smite can be cast while [[File:Plantilla:Tip data/Silence|20px|link=Plantilla:Tip data/Silence]][[File:Plantilla:Tip data/Silence|20px|link=Plantilla:Tip data/Silence]][[File:Plantilla:Tip data/Silence|20px|link=Plantilla:Tip data/Silence]] [[:Plantilla:Tip data/Silence|silenced]].

Notes

• Smite starts with one charge on a 15 sec cooldown and gains an additional charge every 90 seconds starting from 1:30, with a maximum of 2 charges.
• The recharge cooldown of this spell can be reduced by summoner spell cooldown reduction.
