When you’re battling other players in the battleground of the gods, Smite offers a number of emotes that you can use. These emotes are unique, though.
Some deities may only execute certain emotes if they have purchased or unlocked them through chest rolls, although not all gods in Smite can do so.
Players can earn these chests as random rewards for either leveling up their account or progressing through the current battle pass.
Here’s a breakdown of how to perform the wave emoticon on all Smite platforms, as long as the god you’re playing has the wave emote unlocked.
- For the PC, You have to click the keys in this sequence: V, X, W. If you’re using an Xbox 360 or One controller on Windows 10, you need to click right on the D-pad and then press X+B (Xbox) or O+X (PS4).
- On a PlayStation 3 or 4 controller connected to a PC via USB cord OR Bluetooth wireless connection), you need follow these instructions instead: Click right on the D-pad followed by Square+Circle.
- Finally, if playing Super Smash Bros. Ultimate on Nintendo Switch with JoyCon controllers attached directly to console OR handheld mode) , input Up direction on left analog stick +Y button(right Joycon)/A button(left Joycon).
The most important thing to consider is whether or not the wave emote has been unlocked on the god character you’re playing. If you go to access the emote tree and find that the wave icon is darkened instead of highlighted, then you won’t be able to use the wave emote.
If you’re trying to finish a daily or weekly quest in Smite that requires you to wave at an opponent, this might be an issue. To access the emote, go to the god page on the main screen and use gems to unlock it.
Alternatively, you can wait to receive a chest as a reward from playing Smite games through the battle pass or a special event and receive the wave emote this way.
