SMITE - God Reveal - Cernunnos, The Horned God

[@TheaterRaven]

0:12-1:21--Wow. As a Pagan who works with Cernunnos, I found that really moving. And surprisingly accurate. Whoever wrote the script clearly did their homework. Nice job.

[@kevinnorwood8782]

TheaterRaven So this is the "Horned Warrior" associated with the festival of Beltane/May Day?

[@TheaterRaven]

@@kevinnorwood8782 Yes, indeed. Cernunnos is associated with Beltane/May Day, for that day is said by many Wiccans (myself included) and other modern Pagans to be the annual wedding day between him and the Goddess.

[@oneringtorulethemagicarp7199]

@@TheaterRaven I know this is like... ages back, but to my knoledge Cernunnos's wedding is not actually well doccumented in celtic folk lore itself and is more a factor of modern wicca. I'm willing to be wrong, but as a celtic pagan who's been doing a LOT of research its getting really exausting trying to keep the historical celtic cernunnos seperate from stories told of the horned god in wicca

[@TheaterRaven]

@@oneringtorulethemagicarp7199 I know that. I mentioned it in my above post, how Beltane is said "by many WICCANS" to be Cernunnos' wedding day. We obviously don't know when the Celts celebrated it, if at all. Very little is sadly known about the historical Cernunnos, and even less about how he was worshiped or where precisely he fit into the Celtic pantheon. The most that's known, as far as I'm aware (correct me if you've come across more), is that he was said to be a god of the wild, animals, fertility, etc.

[@oneringtorulethemagicarp7199]

@@TheaterRaven fair I just got a little confused because I kept hearing that assertion and I've been unsure if it was based on anything historical. and yeah, our understand of cernunnos in historical celtic myth is extremely limited, as its almost all speculative off of his artwork. we are pretty sure he's a god of the hunt, animals, wealth and prosperity, but wider nature and fertility are actually kind of shakey claims due to our lack of broader context. I personally beleive him to be the god of animals, wealth and hunting, as well as having links to the otherworld, general spirit work and nature. still, thanks for clearing things up, I know you made this post like, 3 years ago lol

[@olenhol2przez4]

Or build frostbound and watch them walk backwards

[@Danial3w]

Olenhol im getting poisoned star and frostbond with using his 1 (winter) and his 2. cant wait to see the enemy moonwalking.

[@bmsonic7468]

I think that maybe be TOO much slow, that's 20% on star, 30% on frostbound, AND 15% on his passive, I think a 65% slow is way too muc xD

[@kiren3168]

ikr

[@SpartanOfLight]

Danial3W I don't think poison star and frost bound slow stack. I know midgardian and frost bound don't.

[@carsonarnaiz479]

Slows don't stack, whichever slow is the strongest will be applied and the others won't even matter

[@bradent5008]

I loved how you recommended items at the end, it helps new players and people who need ideas on how to build him.

[@gregoryweinberg6134]

His ult "Let's make this interesting" -Pip

[@shinybraixen8796]

wow, they sure are cranking out these new gods, i'm liking it

[@Inquisitor_Lelouch]

he reminds me of the beast men from warhammer.

[@Prushinthespirit]

Khazrak One-Eye anyone?

[@Prushinthespirit]

Nope, it's Khazrak. Such beastmen skin would be much easier to make for Cernunnos. He could throw boomerangs and turn enemies into chaos spawns, razorgors or chaos hounds.

[@Dusty1894]

Actually yeah, the beastmen race is based upon fauns and satyrs.

[@claudepainter-wain1788]

Arrows of Kurnous nerfed to Glaives of Cernunnos next TWWarhammer patch. Wild hunt turns Deathstar builds into Boars.

[@ThePokemaniac77]

wild hunt? better have a geralt skin..

[@charcharmunr]

I mean... If anything, somebody ELSE would have Geralt skin and he'd have a skin of somebody OF the Wild Hunt.

[@LordMrF]

jayjay sevilla Geralt? ohh you mean Gary the motrosexule fruitcake :D

[@TheJorgeWesker]

+UFO Commander I was looking for this comment, smite III the wild hunt xd

[@CosmicChris]

As long as the Morrigan gets a Yennifer of Vengerberg Skin or a Cirilla one.

[@pharoahman475]

whos geralt.

[@Jimars]

Master Archer Kuzenbo: shelled god no.2

[@cool0400]

When his ult is used on Artemis, she should turn into Tusky.

[@Beeza666]

Really just love the whole idea of this God. I simply adored the Satyrs from warcraft 3 days and vanilla days, so this is proper mint

[@Trivity_]

I see this god and the only thing I can think of is beastmen and wood elves from warhammer. Which is really good, because those factions are badass. Kudos.

[@jawaba4015]

This is so exciting because I'm doing a report on Wicca right now and the almost back to back release of The Horned God and The Triple Goddess (Morrigan) is really exciting to me and makes me really happy so thanks devs.

[@BrotherShaw]

That build is actually a legit one. They're getting better with their god reveals.

[@trishinironhardt9116]

They most likely test them out before they release them to see what works best for the gods in question.

[@BardFromEntry]

Glad to see another Celtic join the ranks! I'm actually of Irish descent so to see this pantheon added was a wonderful treat!

[@richieleadpoint3110]

If Christmas comes, he needs a Krampus costume.

[@puffnisse]

Richie Leadpoint If Christmas comes? So you are saying that Christmas might not come? :'(.

[@Ninetails113]

Richie Leadpoint YOU'RE A GENIUS! that skin would be sooooo sick!

[@josephmunoz3079]

[@grahamschatz5474]

“If”

[@HellishSpoon]

wow his 1 is so insignificant and overpowered at the same time.

[@flareonapocalypse1320]

I love celtic stuff! I was fangirling really badly when I first heard they were adding celtic gods to Smite. The Morrigan was awesome, and Cernunnos looks really cool too! Thanks Hi-Rez!

[@smoothmoodsambience2835]

When will they release the god reveal for God?

[@tgm4650]

Good one boe, good one...

[@masenyaolivia9705]

... You mean Yahweh?

[@denzell3075]

I really like the 1st ability, it's an whole new feature to Smite. Nice!

[@freshprinceyuup]

looks dope!

[@886Beatz]

Will there be any African gods ? That would be dope!!

[@fahimrahman8719]

Those Fae deserve to be given a bunch of Wild Hunt. Especially Aurora. "How you'd like it PIGS now, hmmm??"

[@jpevc]

First jungler hunter confirmed.

[@stitchowi]

João Paulo First?

[@jpevc]

isn't he?

[@656minecrafter]

Ullr for a period of time

[@stitchowi]

Klekto Izzy could also be used, But mostly Ullr.

[@blackkyurem720]

João Paulo agreed

[@DjZeroGalactica]

The Morrigan - Mage Cernunnos - Hunter 3 Celtic Gods To Complete The Class😆

[@wombythewizard1673]

I really hope they add Balor as a Guardian or a Warrior.

[@MrBubblebox]

thye run out of celtic gods and throw macbeth in. every time you type his name you die :P

[@oldWanderer69]

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Horned god yet has three horns if you know what i mean.

[@nyderican]

Vash Diablo Zero im hyped for the celtic guardian :D

[@odeszaa]

Thanks, if only that wasn't so obvious.

[@Eros12289]

Hi Rez proving that they do their research before they even start on a project. Fantastic God to join the roster. Very unique in his role.

[@RAY296]

I love this god so much, neat kit that's still relevant and can work great with most comps, and voiced by Ricepirate, devos and asi makes you unboxable

[@SmugLookingBarrel]

2:30 Energy? What game is this?

[@arrrchun5611]

Xbalanque is crying about his 1

[@PyroMechanics8]

Yeah kernunnos's 1 should cost mana while xbalanque goes Mana hungry

[@LongNguyen-oj2ji]

but if they make his auto always cost mana its would be bad unless they give him a 5th non-buff stance

[@PyroMechanics8]

L Nguyễn no I mean he can turn it off since technically his seasons is a buff it should cost like xbalanque. you turn it off when you need to

[@brandonuzumaki]

He's an ADC, they will increase the extra damage of the bolas to 100, and will nerf Sylvanus again xD

[@PyroMechanics8]

Brandon Uzumaki sounds dumb

[@Funny24686]

cool cool, but when will fenrir be released?

[@elihuclark-el4143]

[@zezio8804]

what meme, i just want fenrir to be released.

[@soosboons4444]

bruh u high ?

[@azulu2822]

Just gonna go ahead and call the Krampus skin.

[@WoolPlayGames]

nice call haha

[@symmetra1390]

And you were right😂

[@ladysnake8449]

As a pagan woman this is the god I love most. He is powerful wise as well as compassionate as his goddess. And he is more fair compared to the other gods of the misogynistic cultures. He often reminds us that when it comes to Nature itself like the circumstances we all bear in life, we are both Masters and slaves to it. This God is the type of father that we all need in our families. And you don't have to be a pagan in order to understand it. Around June 20th of the summer solstice, it is that time where he reigns Supreme before the changes of the wheel of the year turns.

[@MadaraUchihamizukage]

he seems to be one of those hunters where fatalis could work really well

[@chaotic3962]

MadaraUchihamizukage any hunter.cause it makes basics so easy to land lol

[@dragontyron]

Fatalis is good on pretty much all of them right now. It became good when they added flat pen.

[@xblackdiamondx8009]

MadaraUchihamizukage yeah but Odysseus bow works better on him.

[@chaotic3962]

xBlackDiamondx that item is annoying AF. oh lookie here you become Zeus lol. I'll probably just use normal attack speed/pen and power item. instead of wasting slots on just attack speed.

[@JIManzioni]

Fantastic job on this God!

[@ahmednagy7571]

hi guys i am new to smite should i main Loki i hear he is balanced

[@blackT1E]

main water loki, he's more balanced

[@JechorvionYT]

[@hihi-hp1ie]

xXtru3XxELIT3 lol who mains loki is trash? seems youre mad

[@essubon]

xXtru3XxELIT3 its 2017 dude, you should already know how to handle Loki....he isn't broken or op

[@tudorciubotaru3497]

[@curtisc2514]

Nice use of the barbarian Thor wall on that victory screen!

[@deathstar6998]

What would happen if this guy ults at the same time as artimis are we gonna get some boar on boar action :D

[@0thereaper0]

lol

[@joselitodelarosa6324]

I never knew the beast from the disney movie can turn people into boars and I just knew that artemis uses the turned boars for her ult too!

[@bedroom6141]

As a modern Pagan, I am super excited about this addition!!

[@bedroom6141]

Jesus Christ Haha, sorry the only Jesus I am into is on The Walking Dead.

[@jakubjedrasik4326]

Thank you very much, good sir. Have a nice evening or whatever time of the day it is in your place!

[@jaredcarter1165]

i was trying to think out a concept for a ranged assassin for a while, since there are range/melee cross-overs in most other classes. This is pretty much exactly that. Assassin damage up front, reduced farther out but still present. Also massive ability to gank.

[@Flavorless13]

ALL HAIL THE ALMIGHTY VOICE LADY!!!

[@badgermcwaffles4834]

I dont even play this anymore and still I watch these

[@miguelt124]

LETS JUST MAKE AN OP GOD AGAIN

[@Zefo_No]

To be honest it's been a while since Nike was released. Actually he's more op than Nike. Lemme try again. It's been a while since Hi-Rez thought Susanoo was ok for release.

[@llovefood4927]

Zefo No He is not more pp then nike at release because she gives more to her team and has more more damage in her 1-2 combo plus a 50% shield like nike was more broken but anyways the new god is good and can be turned down a lil and he'll be ok

[@projectdeus9561]

A 93 Year Old Virgin HURR DURR REZ HI PLZ NEFR GOD TOO OP PLOX. Lmao you know how easy it is to CC him and burst him down? Do you scream OP at every new god? He is just like xbalanque, and how easy is it to kill him? Yea, think about it.

[@dr4g0nitedive29]

They said that about The Morrigan and she's frail as heck. Powerful but frail

[@erik_gutierrez]

Rogue Dr4g0nite And super buggy. No one wants to play a glitchy god.

[@firestrike001]

His passive is very questionable. But I love the mechanic on his 1, that's great. His clear seems alright, cc is nice too. Will be fun to see him in action! Defenitely one of the more interesting hunters out there.

[@exhalechaos151]

Can you add the Hindu god of motion next, Savitr. I was watching flash and he is a absolute beast

[@ChaoticPatientZer0]

Exhale Chaos Ganesh is coming next lol. Anyone ready for the backlash?

[@fredstanislawski2983]

that show is garbage

[@johnathanmatos2016]

Exhale Chaos might as well be mercury

[@Trisquelos]

At last!!!! I was wishing and waiting for Cernunnos for almost 2 years...... you made me happy hi-rez :) :)

[@Lin2Waterfall]

that isn't what a real glaive is. smite was fooled by other fantasy media >.< a glaive is a polearm, not a throwing star thing

[@ryanweible9090]

i wasn't sure if id be considered pedantic, but yeah, a glaive is a type of gurisame , almost a European naginata. the other term is just from Krull for a pointed chakram..

[@snowps2284]

I like this god a lot! Definitely going to master him

[@lightovernight1244]

I can smell the nerf like Irish spring.

[@AltarofMetal]

[@carlosrodriguez-ep6zx]

here comes the "this god gonna be op" comments

[@IronTarkus876]

They could do a beauty and beast skin, he could throw plates and cups depending on the season, his two could still be thrones, his three being the charge is still ok, and his ult can turn them into clocks and candles

[@JT5555]

I Like Him. I Can Relate To His Love Of Nature And Hate Of Humans.

his ult is just izanami's but on a bigger scale wtf

[@mrbigotes9974]

Neto Brightman BOARS!! The Boars make the difference

[@chaotic3962]

Neto Brightman and a disarm lol. Polymorph makes since with a forest god.

[@blackkyurem720]

Neto Brightman and Freya and Rama have the same ultimate basically so. Also Ratotoskr and Thanatos. (just moves different and Thana stuns)

[@dragontyron]

I mean it has a disarm and higher damage probably

[@protestmyhero5613]

I really don't understand why the hell they gave his ult a knockup! Didn't they learn anything from nerfing Apollo's ult with the very same ability..

[@jbrake-kp5gj]

She said that for autumn decay has prot shred it not shred its just a debuff.

[@pluto4446]

Wow...this was the waste of a Celtic God we got next....Tuatha du Damn

He looks like the beast. Should have said be our guest

[@sharpiesniffer12345]

Thank god they finally made a balanced god.. :\

[@vetabeta9890]

So is this a easter egg for Beatuy and the beast cause he looks exactly like the beast kinda

[@Evrenovic]

Would sell Ichaival for something like poison star or executioner later on :)) he's very interesting, but already seem broken and OP AF!

[@Proximity-]

Evrenovic not broken or op i wouldnt say

[@pontusgustafsson3530]

Execution and Titans Bane counter eachother so I would say Deathbringer

[@eot666]

deathbringer for sure

[@leafeonking]

his victory is duck hunt. Bowser kuzenbo skin confirmed

[@sirunklydunk8861]

That's his defeat screen actually

[@leafeonking]

statement still stands

[@toddzillar1]

I dont even play conquest too many jerks and babies

[@blackkyurem720]

tobi uchiha "you rock" "cancel that", and then some get mad early on and decides not to help the team or a specific team member. Costing the match.

[@blackkyurem720]

tobi uchiha no one has 30 or 40 minutes to waste for people like that lol.

[@Nekoszowa]

Conquest is cancer on it's own anyway.

[@toddzillar1]

Forreal tho you guys are so right i fell in love with the game when i stopped doin conquests lol

[@jeanferreira145]

tobi uchiha i want to play conq but all the team i was match up is bad

[@4shiva-p7i]

She sound so nice and kind

[@MrLeonacha]

That build seems like cancer xD

[@FranBattery95]

You seem to not play this game if you think that build is cancer. It's rather normal basic ADC build.

[@loscarrolo]

Epic-Fran! its not rather normal build btw, its just an "acceptable" build, only bad thing there is 20% crit and the ninja tabi.

[@MrLeonacha]

The stacking makes it annoying!

[@malikclement7575]

Cernunnos looks like one of those "I'll destroy you in two hits" gods. This update is gonna be fun on the bun

[@antonioluongo8566]

i think frostbound is better of titan's bane

[@Vierhoek]

Antonio Luongo you cannot, I repeat, cannot, skip Titan's Bane in a hunter build.

[@chaotic3962]

Antonio Luongo his shifting seasons is basically frostbound lol

[@Danial3w]

Antonio Luongo you cannot compare a utility item with a penentration/damage item. you need the percentage pen vs tanky gods, but you can sell ichival late game to get frostbound.

[@antonioluongo8566]

Danial3W mhh ichival is a good item i don't think this is a good idea sorry..

[@Danial3w]

Antonio Luongo ichival really falls late. you alawys wanna sell it in late game. its only good for early boxing. Watch what most pros do if you dont belive me.

[@Glitchoone]

The this ability seems like it should also do a bit of knockback by the videos ex you dont run far after the abiity it over o your enemy is right behind you, just a something so you wont have them right there and have some space to run

[@azulaquaza4916]

This dudes 1 cost no Mana AND NO COOLDOWN? Wtf Hi rez

[@Djitterbug]

like any other stance switch abilities...

[@bingbong6205]

Spooder man it makes sense. all he's doing is toggling what effect he has on his glaives. it shouldn't cost anything to change that. Just like Orbz said, it's like stance changing.

[@errornotfound4004]

OrbZ nah not tyr

[@Danial3w]

OrbZ tyr has a long cooldown and ullr has 1 sec soo..

[@Djitterbug]

+Danial3W Tyr is an exception, he just works differently, when you switch with tyr all of your cooldowns are all ready, otherwise he wouldn't have that mechanic. Ullr has a 1 secnd cooldown because he only has two stances, whereas with this guy you need to be able to, as the video states, use protection shred then instantly click 3 times and have damage. He has 4 stances. Also, if it used mana that would be stupid as youre constantly switching and trying to quickly get to other stances, its part of his kit, and all other stance switches don't use mana too ofc.

how about balancing your current gods instead of throwing in one after another new one

[@loganeverhart2866]

[@brennanleahy1929]

When is the update coming out for Xbox??

[@tyrant351]

it's not Kernunnons, is Sernunnos. Say it right hi-rez.

[@AngusBain]

No, it is Kerr-noo-nos

[@WyseWalker]

different mythologies come from different cultures and as such have different pronunciations.

[@Kithara1117]

That's not correct. Cernunnos likely comes from the Proto-Indo European root kerh₂-. Same as words like "horn" and "cornucopia." Celts who wrote with the Greek alphabet spelled it with a kappa. There's pretty substantial evidence that it's pronounced with a velar stop and not a sibilant.

[@WyseWalker]

MeiaLua That explanation is a bit too academic. Instead could you answer the question of is the beginning of his name pronounced as with C sound or a S sound.

[@SomethingNero]

[@anthonymendez1394]

I love how hirez said in the stream he is not good with crits, well look at all those crit procs
