Smite Void Knight Guide
Last Updated:April 11, 2025|Changelog
The Smite Void Knight uses Smite, obliterating enemies with Void bolts that descend from the sky. Take control of the dark powers and become a powerful warrior of the Void!
This build converts Smite to Void and stacks Vitality for tons of Damage. Smite has exceptionally long range, which makes it amazing for quickly clearing screens of enemies. Devouring Orb provides passive benefits and deals Damage while moving. Anomaly and Symbols of Hope grant powerful buffs. Healing Hands provides utility while acting as your Movement Skill.
This setup doesn't require any Uniques to function. However, Wrongwarp, Grasp of the Blood Mage, Anchor of Oblivion, Seed of Ekkidrasil and Bulwark of the Last Abyss turn this build into an absolute powerhouse.
Overall this powerful Void Knight is an amazing build that performs well in endgame. If you are looking for a caster that obliterates enemies and is able to survive the hardest encounters, this build is perfect for you!

Skills
Smite
Smite is your main Damage Skill. Convert it to Void with Fallen from Grace. Sacrifice provides a huge Damage multiplier, but makes the Skill consume Health. Since the build has so much Leech, this drawback is negligible. Grab Blinding Flash and Conflagration for even more Damage.
- Unspecialized Shield Rush is an option for your Movement Skill in place of Healing Hands.
Skills showcase extra Skill Points in case you find +Level of Skills that may not be included in the Planners.
Passives
- Renouncement allows you to scale the Damage of Smite with Vitality.
- World Eater and Unending Hunger provide tons of Leech. If you lack Resistances, take out Points from Unending Hunger and allocate them into Abyssal Endurance.
- If you lack Block Chance, place 3 Points into Steel Aegis.
Make sure to complete the Campaign to get all your Passive Points.
