What does Ult mean?
In Smite I have access to several gods. For each god I have used they have 4 abilities. In several guides, the fourth ability is referred to as "ult". For example:
Use your ult to stun a group of enemies
I am guessing that "ult" means "ultimate". Is this correct? If so, why is the fourth ability referred to as "ultimate"?
Does this term apply outside of Smite?
Best Answer
You are correct, ult is short for Ultimate, and refers to the (most of the time) most powerful of your abilities. It's usually on the 4th sloth on most MOBAs and it takes some time to be able to actually unlock it and level it up, 5-6 levels of experience for most MOBAs.
You may hear the term be used outside Smite in game like CS, in a mode based on MOBAs still, and there it too refers to the ultimate ability at your disposal.

Ult is short for "Ultimate" so I usually just think of it as one group, my favorite group (Day6). I usually consider myself to stan a group if I like a lot of their music and know all of their names. And then I would just say I'm a fan of any group whose music I like but I don't really know the artist that well.What does ULT mean in gaming?
Your "ult" is your ultimate ability. This is typically the ability that becomes available to you in a MOBA once you have leveled up around 5-6 times. This ability is called ultimate because it typically is more powerful than your other abilities and usually can be used much less than your other abilities.The Art of Roza Ult: TSM FTX Subroza

Your "ult" is your ultimate ability. This is typically the ability that becomes available to you in a MOBA once you have leveled up around 5-6 times. This ability is called ultimate because it typically is more powerful than your other abilities and usually can be used much less than your other abilities. This term also applies in League of Legends, but I don't know about DOTA. I feel it is generally widespread.
Answer 3
Yes, "ult" stands for your ultimate ability, usually requires a buildup of some sort and is almost always incredibly powerful. Shown here, an example from D&D Neverwinter, the large orange gem in the center slowly fills as you damage your enemies, when it is full, you can use your "daily power" a reference to D&D. It is in other words, your "ult"imate power.
