SMITE - God Reveal | Ishtar, Goddess of Love and War

[@TheRealGuywithoutaMustache]

Neith: You’re just a cheap knockoff. Ishtar: Oh no no no... I’m the upgrade.

[@CaptainIchimaruGin]

The difference is one is a spoil brat that can't handle being rejected while the other is in charge of life span.

[@What-fv1yl]

[@Givens43]

She's a combination of Neith and Serqet in design and her Jolt move looks like a combination of how they move. I wish they would've given this design and that ability to an Egyptian goddess who was related to Neith and Serqet, but that's honestly the only thing I can nitpick about. I'm really excited to play her because she looks like a lot of fun.

Neith is still best girl to me :( I’ve gotta get more stars on her

A better ultimate would’ve been her firing the Sacred Bull towards an enemy. Causing the Bull to push back enemies and at the end, using its horns to cause one of the below: A) further knock back and slow B) push up into the air and protection decrease Or C) slam into the ground and stun. But that’s just me. The sacred bull was her ultimate last resort. INANNA!

My untilled land lies fallow. As for me, Inanna, Who will plow my vulva? Who will plow my high field? Who will plow my wet ground? As for me, the young woman, Who will plow my vulva? Who will station the ox there? Who will plow my vulva? ... Make your milk sweet and thick, my bridegroom. My shepherd, I will drink your fresh milk. Wild bull, Dumuzi, make your milk sweet and thick.

I know people were joking that she was a Neith remodel... but jeez her silhouette and the way she holds her bow +basic attack animations are reaaaaallyyyy similar to Neith. I definitely think she is one of the weakest visual designs Smite has put out in a long time too. Hot fantasy lady with a bow and arrow isn't exactly new for Smite. Her aesthetics are on point, but I personally find her costume design lacking. However I do like her more unique facial structure, compared to the other female gods. Tall and angular features akin to Persephone's face design, as opposed to the more commonly used short and round designs of most female gods. 6/10 for me. Edit 2: Also should've mentioned her kit. It's neat, for a hunter. I'm not up to speed with duel meta but her 1v1 potential seems insane. Edited: words
