MOBAs are exceptionally complex, making them unappealing for many players. Thankfully, Smite has a great new-user experience that prepares you for high-level competition. One of these tutorial mechanics is the Auto Skill and Auto Buy system. If you use the default Auto Skill and Auto Buy settings in Smite, you let the game decide what skills and items are best for you. This guide will walk you through how to enable/disable Auto Skill and Auto Buy in Smite.

Should you turn off Auto Buy and Auto Skill?

If you are playing a god you haven’t played before, the Auto Skill feature can be helpful. However, most of the default skill guides and item builds in Smite are outdated and can hinder your performance. It’s best to experiment with items yourself to see which ones you like the best and give you the biggest power spike.
