Divine Knockout is a party fighter game similar to Brawlhala, where players can pick from an available roster of gods from the Smite line-up and battle against other players in custom or 3v3 battles in an arena-style map. Divine Knockout has a roster of ten heroes, all pulled from Smite, but they have been retrofitted to serve Divine Knockout’s core mechanics. Like most games with characters with unique abilities, some shine a bit brighter than others and perform better than other characters in the game.
7 Yamir
Yamir is one of the Bruiser characters in Divine Knockout, while in Smite he serves as a Guardian or supportive role. In Divine Knockout, Yamir can dish out significant damage with hard-hitting swipes with his club and control his opponent’s movement with his abilities. Aside from the broad abilities that all characters have in Divine Knockout, Yamir’s kit possesses a lot of crowd control gimmicks.

One of the best Gods in Smite, Thor is a hard-hitting character in Divine Knockout that can simultaneously deal damage to numerous targets with wide-hitting attacks and abilities.
