How to unlock the Death from Above achievement in SMITE - Definitive Guide
In order to get this achievement you need to get the killing blow with your leap attack.
If you look at the gods abilities in the main menu you can see what type of ability it is and you can see it during the game by pressing up on the d-pad. It will say it under the ability name.
There are many gods that have leap attacks but most of them are very hard to last hit your enemy with.
The best god to do this with is Awilix. This is because she has two different leap attacks.
Her first leap ability allows allows her to ride her panther which gives her increased movement speed and can jump off to attack her enemies. This will make aiming way easier then most leaps because you can stay on your panther as long as you want and its harder for the enemy to run away. For the most part though you will be using this to get into the fight.
Her second leap ability can only be activated after you basic attacked the enemy at least once. You can not miss this attack as long as you stay near the enemy after basic attacking them. This is the one you will be getting most of your kills with. This attack does a lot of damage and all you have to do is last hit them with it.
Using the second leap attack to last hit the enemy i got about 20 kills in just 2 games. When i would use the other characters i would barely get any kills with their leaps.
Thanks to Eurydace for adding that you can also get this achievement pretty easy with Odin and Freya. Freya has her ult which is good to use in arena. Odin has his leap, but not all the kills will count because some will count as a shield explosion kill.
Thanks to McRedRover for adding that hades leap is pretty easy to get kill with compared to other characters.
Thanks to Slam Shot Sam for adding that serqet ult counts as and leap and if they die from the poison it still counts as a leap kill.
Thanks to BlackS1lver 666 for adding that bacchus' is good for getting leap kills when the enemy runs away.
Thanks to Purple DinDono for adding that fenrir has two leaps that do a lot of damage.
If you know any other characters with good leaps post it in the comments and i will add it to the solution.

Freya's ult counts as a leap. Could get decent progress with it in arena and she's a bit easier to play than Awilix.
Odin's leap does a ton of damage and you'll get lots of kills with it, but that's because of the shield explosion. When you get a kill with the shield explosion (when you land the leap), it does not count as a leap. So while it's possible with Odin, it's not really ideal because 4/5 kills will not count as a leap.

I've just made a list of all the God's with Leap abilities here, (as @ Nov 4th 2015)
- The Choice of God is really up to you & your play style. You can focus on a god with more than one leap ability or one that has it as an ultimate. The variety of gods listed here can also help while your try to Master several gods for other achievements. If your finished with Siege/Joust/Conquest, Arena is best for maximizing your God kills.
- Please note: The ability type must be 'Leap', as abilities where you appear to jump in the air & land as not always a 'Leap' ability;
ie. Thor's ultimate 'Anvil of Dawn' is actually a 'Ground Target' ability,
or Thanatos's ultimate 'Hovering Death' is also a 'Ground Target' ability.
Here's the list of Gods & Abilities, (as @ Nov 4th 2015)
Awilix Summon Suku - Damage: 80/130/230/280 (+80% Physical Power)
Awilix Feather Step - Damage: 60/90/120/180 (+50% Physical Power)

Bastet Pounce - Damage: 80/145/210/275/340 (+100% Physical Power)
Bellona Eagle's Rally - Damage: 100/200/300/400/500 (+50% Physical Power)
Fenrir Unchained - Damage: 95/155/215/275/335 (+80% of your Physical Power)
Fenrir Brutalize - Damage: 45/75/105/135/165 (+50% of your Physical Power)
Freya Valkyrie's Discretion - Damage: 120/150/180/210/240 (+35% Physical Power)
Hades Death From Below - Damage: 50/85/120/155/190 (+60% Magical Power)

Hun Batz Somersault - Damage: 50/90/130/170/230 (+70% Physical Power)
Kali Nimble Strike - Damage: 70/120/170/220/270 (+80% Physical Power)
Neith Backflip - Damage: 60/100/140/180/220 (+80% Physical Power)
Odin Lunge - Damage: 120/165/210/255/300 (+70% Physical Power)
Osiris Lord of the Afterlife - Damage: 220/320/420/520/620 (+80% Physical Power)
Serqet Ambush - Damage: 80/140/200/260/320 (+50% Physical Power)
Serqet Last Breath - Damage: 228/342/456/570/684
Sun Wukong Somersault Cloud - Damage: 140/190/240/290/340 (+120% Physical Power)

Xing Tian Sky-Cutting Axe - Damage: 65/85/105/125/145 (+30% Magical Power)
- Note 1: Chronos's ultimate Rewind doesn't do damage so unless you get creative it won't kill. Also Scylla's Sentinel (does low damage) Summons a 'pet' & teleports you, so I don't think is counts, nor is it worth while trying.
- Note 2: I just put the Damage amounts for reference, these will change with Items equipped & ongoing Patches to balance characters. I probably won't update these.

Here is a list of gods with damage leaps and the ability:
- Anhur (3)
- Arachne (4)
- Awilix (1 jumping off Suku)
- Bacchus (2)
- Bastet (1)
- Fenrir (1) & (3)
- Hou Yi (3)
- Hun Batz (1)
- Odin (1)
- Thanatos (4)
Thanatos is an easy god to use for this achievement as his ultimate ability is a leap that executes enemies below a certain health threshold.
