What is a MOBA?
Multiplayer Online Battle Arenas, or MOBAs for short, originated as a sub-genre of the RTS (Real-Time Strategy) genre. Because of this, in most MOBA games, the player takes control of a single character from the isometric (top-down) view akin to most RTS games. Typically, in MOBA games, a player takes control of a single character on one of two teams. Those players choose characters that all have their own abilities, or “kits”. To win, the players must use a combination of abilities, teamwork, and strategy to not only best their opponent, but destroy the opponents main structures. A bonus to the genre is that most MOBAs are free games, which is definitely a contributing factor of the their massive success. The genre has many titles, the largest of which being Defense of the Ancients (DoTA) and DoTA 2, League of Legends (LoL), and most recently SMITE!
What is SMITE?
SMITE is one of the more recent free MOBA games to enter the fray. In SMITE you don’t just choose a character, you choose a god. You’ll instantly feel an attachment to characters like Thor and Zeus because even if you don’t know the lore behind them, you’ve at least heard their names before! What makes SMITE so immersive is Hi-Rez Studios’ inclusion of historical lore into the gods’ abilities, kits, and play styles. Thor and Loki aren’t just characters from Marvel comics and movies. They’re also a part of Norse mythology and you can take control of them in SMITE!
What makes SMITE different?
SMITE takes all of the strategy of the top MOBA games and adds another layer of difficulty by putting you into the action! Unlike most MOBA games, SMITE offers players the chance to experience the MOBA genre they know and love from a third-person perspective. This unique perspective allows for an extremely immersive experience unlike any other game in the genre. While this doesn’t sound like such a big change, once you play it you’ll understand! All of these things added together is what has gaming websites everywhere continually rating SMITE as one of the best MOBA games available!

it makes me so happy they finally added the Celtic pantheon.

First Nemesis now Artio. All the "balance" gods are destined to be overpowered.

[@gavinmahoney5402]

Artio's like the most balanced releases Hirez has had in a very long time tho

[@soul2squeezy439]

Gavin Mahoney nice joke lol

[@gavinmahoney5402]

TWO MONTHS AGO THINGS WERE VERY VERY DIFFERENT MAN

[@soul2squeezy439]

Gavin Mahoney lol this god doesnt die. she can dive at lvl 6 in towers and phoenix and still manage to live.

[@dontreadmyprofilepicture8817]

Fafnir She's easy to kill if you have a high damage god, bait her into the tower pop Aegis Amulet (if below 50% health) attack her when she tries to run root her or pop Horrific Emblem and she's dead guaranteed. Or simply team rush her...

[@TheEpicphale]

1:36 Alright y'all, time to tactical feed *For the Lore*.

[@Hinkleberry227]

"pair her with Gods that need heavy peel" *Rama dies*

[@ayikart]

now we need a stand switch assassin.

[@blackkyurem720]

ayikart Yup

[@NightAngelBlaze]

ayikart Warrior too. I don't count Tyr as a true stance switcher as much as the others because his stance change isn't in place of an ultimate, and it has a kind of long cooldown. We need one where it's in place of an ult.

[@ayikart]

oh yea your right.Warrior

[@J2ojuiced95]

NightAngelBlaze I'd say he still counts as a stance switcher as he'd be a lot worse without his ult, plus it's a pretty cool ult

[@Teckniikaa]

The Illuminati that's exactly why he's not really a stance switcher. Hel & Ullr (possibly Artio) aren't useless without an ult and are always kind of a threat without an ultimate at their disposal

[@khatzeye]

Warrior/Guardian basically. Are we going to see Achilles this season??

[@miskokmcis5141]

How can man that can die fight with ,,gods'' and powerful monsters from mythology?

[@fdgdfafassff]

Achilles as far as I'm concerned is not a god

[@aydenj00]

fdgdfafassff I don't remember Chiron being a good either.

Give us more nature based gods. 💜

That bear dance at the end lmao wtff. Also can't wait for this god to come out lol, looks so fun.

everytime she pronounces it in a different way you take a swig

You know it's good when the lore lady suggests just spamming your abilities

[@ReiAyanami8]

I hope I enjoy her gameplay. I often try to fill (in other words I play Gaurdian a lot because no ever picks Gaurdian), so I really like it when I find one I can can have fun while playing as.

this god is underpower, she needs some buffs in 4.15

Michael O'brian In Arena maybe. Thing is, we don't determine how strong a God is based off of Arena casuals that think Scylla is OP.

New favorite guardian

[@alexanderfoote6153]

You were saying what I was thinking

[@Finghurs]

Great idea i had. Eskimo and polar bear or Park ranger and black bear.

More Celtic gods makes me happy. :)

think is. greece also has a myth about the ursa major and ursa minor. but thats to be expected

HiRez: *watches Brave once* HiRez: "hmm we should make a god like this"

[@celtofcanaanesurix2245]

Shamari Miller well from what I can tell this goddess is actually based off a couple small statues found in Switzerland and southern Germany, made from around the time the celts were there... I believe one has an inscription that says ARTIO so yeah...

[@100organicfreshmemes5]

Anybody else notice her Ferocious roar is basically just a better version of Apollo's Serenade? IMO it should fear instead of stun.

I'm very surprised on that background you gave her, you know since she didn't have her own.

As far as I know darkness is by definition the lack of light.
