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!

Whoever designed this chick needs to design more characters. Her face is so detailed and beautiful.

[@Firnren]

lets be honest kaldr is the real god in this reveal

[@randomtimeline]

Here is a bit of fun trivia: Elsa from frozen is based on H.C. Andersen's character the Snow Queen, and the Snow Queen is based on Skadi. :)

[@davidvandersterre]

I'm still waiting for the god reveal of The Flying Spaghetti Monster.

[@quinnfletcher3906]

She came in angry! But Loki convinced her to "let it go"!

[@Micolino9878]

...Njord is a sea god, not a summer god....just sayin'....

[@George-zq2fl]

I am a big fan of the game but you are wrong about Njord. He is not the god of summer, he is the god of seas, ships, fisherman and everything connected with the sea. Actually his son Frey is the god of summer and nature.

[@dl5000567]

So who took out her eye and made it cost 5575g?

[@MrDrewwills]

It's funny. The story I heard is that Skadi was only allowed to see there feet. She wanted to Baldr the god of beauty and so chose the most beautiful feet, but the feet belonged to Njord god of the sea whos feat had been washed clean by the ocean. With Skadi belonging in the mountains and Njord belonging by the sea shore it was inevitable that they would break up.

[@jrsdef]

Wait, does this mean Njord is coming!?

[@Peppe-]

Oh smite you missed the best part of her lore "Skaði also included in her terms of settlement that the gods must do something she thought impossible for them to do: make her laugh. To do so, Loki tied one end of a cord around the beard of a nanny goat and the other end around his testicles. The goat and Loki drew one another back and forth, both squealing loudly. Loki dropped into Skaði's lap, and Skaði laughed, completing this part of her atonement."

[@DukeSloth]

Full movement speed Skadi = Sanic Kaldr.

[@iLoveToastBreadSucks]

Make a "Beam me up Skadi" skin.

[@Mincho1994]

So is nobody going to mention the fact that the way Loki entertained Skadi was by tying his testicles to the beard of a goat and playing tug of war?

[@gavinmahoney5402]

Waitwaitwait, did I just see a GOOD reccomended build?

[@Call_Me_Matrix]

Her+Ymir=a freezing nightmare in duo lane.

[@Skyjumperkid]

Lore lady voice pack or we riot

[@eenvleugjegoeiegames]

am I the only one who keeps hearing 'Scotty'? :p

[@DoubleTap202]

she is the only adc i acually like playing (besides anubis of course)

[@CyLeonGaming]

It is through watching these God Reveals that you can understand just how much time and consideration is put into every new God. Smite is incredibly well-designed and every new God adds something different to the game. The God Reveals are of great quality nowadays, and the voice actress is one of the best I've heard for this sort of role.
