Fafnir is worst guardian for support role.

[Cobrazi]

change my mind

[Suntorias]

No.

[LukanGamer]

meh he ok, you do have to try pretty hard with him and aim well in other words otherwise I agree or if you just ment most the guardians are better.

i think people misunderstand what a support is and when should they pick what. i see it every time "x god is worse", "y god is not for z role" etc. if you really want to have a good team you can't just pick whatever you want but whatever will be more useful.

but since we are talking about smite here and chances are solo queue people will lock anything they feel like without any cohesion on top of people not actually caring about any teamplay then yes, he will not be that effective.

but with actual team play and depending on the picks he can become the most cancerous thing you can go up against. he is really beneficial when paired with aa gods and also against aa gods on top of doing enough damage and the ability to avoid a lot of damage which makes him extremely efficient on harassing mages and other squishy, low mobility gods.

so basicaly your arguement is invalid because we need to look at how each god does on solo queue against premade teams, what they provide in combination with other gods on the team, what the enemy team has and how well they can play together and last but not least how skilled is the player using that god.

as i said, you can't just say x god is bad for a role. the reason is there are too many variables to consider on a game with such high number of options. khepri is considered one of the best guardians but he becomes totaly useless if the enemy team has executes. it's all situational.

[Grok 3]

agreed ugly useless god!

[AllSeer]

Honestly not that bad, atleast he has a stun.

[ReapersDemise]

fafnir is bad in terms of peeling yes but his real role of guardian is within his 2 that skill shines when u have 2 adc type characters on your team whether it be mage or hunter even some assassins they can melt all objectives if you have it on all your carries and with Frenzy its even crazier thats why fafnir is a great guardian/support his because of his 2 his peel is okay in dragon stance but normal form i can agree hes pretty trash.

[Stranger]

He's got a ton of CC. He's a great support if you know how to play him. Just because you're in bronze and don't know how to adc properly doesn't mean he's bad.

Lmao at all the people trying to convince you otherwise.

Fafnir is awful. All of his scaling sucks (10-30%+ MP) and every time you buy an item, you screw over the only added protection you've got as a guardian.

He's extremely reliant on his ult which means you want to build him with CDR (limiting his effectiveness as a guardian further) and even then once it's over, he's going to be stunning himself over and over once it ends, preventing you from being close to enemies.. Which also removes your ability from using the secondary leap (one of the few of his positives) as an offensive & pursuit measure unless you want to die.

He also has the "no item proc" limitation when his ult is active that locks you out of doing some auto attack/warrior shenanigans with him.

More or less only meme stuff you can pull off with the guy is by speccing into his buff and pocketing a hunter but at that point, you're not playing Fafnir anymore.

cdr is actually easy to get as a guardian (get prid, mantle then replace boots for shoguns and you have 20%) fafnir is quite good
also, as of rn, the auto attack item procs are bugged so they activate

you just don't know how to play him

this is my favorite guardian and he's A tier. I can go forever about this

he's A tier rn. the attack speed buff is so good in this crit meta. he also has some great cc while dealing damage and he carries the double hunter comp or any seiging comp

[Smaugi]

Fafnir is one of the best "get in , kill mage/adc , get out or push with your team god" he dose that better than cabrakan due to his jump. The buff he Has is a tower melter , so is his dragon form. Yeah he dosent have much CC , But he Has some self heal , he Has % armor deacrese on his 1 in dragon form , a Looong leap with a stun in dragon form and a good passive. You just dont know to Play him and never saw a good one. He aint a "big circles for small brain" god , his abbilites are hard to hit and need you to think. Also he can go solo. And if he meets an AA assasin or a squshier warrior god there and gets ahead he simply wont lose his lane. Also he's one of lokis worst nightmares.

[Indoril Nerevar]

Even with full of support items he can deal tons of damage in his dragon form. Also his kit is so useful for teamfights. He is kinda weak in early but in the mid-game he becomes a raid boss. You can solo a adc or mage easily with his kit if you don't miss your spells.

[NOVOJ]

If you are a crazy pyscho like me you build a powerful speed fafnir that chases down enemies with his hammer. I got faf diamond pretty easily, the key is to hit your stuns. Only use the leap for confirming kills or escaping. Even building this god tanky (like you're supposed to) isnt bad because his passive helps you sustain.
