Description[ | ]
Joust is a fast paced 3v3 Game Mode. Players are able to join this game mode from account level 1.
There are jungle camps on the sides of the map and only one short lane protected by one tower and a phoenix. The objective is to destroy the enemy's defenses, and ultimately their Titan.
This mode contains a unique boss objective: Demon King. Upon his defeat, the team who defeated him receives a special buff for a short time. Additionally, the first structure of the enemy team is disabled for the buff's duration. Only phoenixes and towers can be disabled. If neither structure remains and the boss is defeated, the phoenix will be disabled if it should respawn during the buff's duration. This mechanic is unique to this map and can't be found anywhere else in SMITE. Additionally, some starter items and their respective upgrades (
Sentinel's Gift, 
Benevolence, 
War Flag and 
Lono's Mask) as well as 
Emperor's Armor are disabled in this game mode and all starters are disabled in the Duel variant of this game mode.
This map has a Chinese theme and was inspired by several Chinese legends, mainly the ones of the Jade Corruption event and the introduction of Mulan.
There are also 2 Ranked variants of this game mode: A standard 3v3 Joust and a 1v1 variant called Duel. Duel also takes place on the Season 3 Chinese Joust which originally ran for the 3v3 Joust normal/ranked modes.
