SMITE - God Reveal - Sylvanus, Keeper of the Wild

SMITE is a FREE-TO-PLAY online battleground between gods.
SMITE is a third-person action MOBA. Instead of having a traditional isometric view (RTS), you are IN THE ACTION with a tight third-person camera. Move with WASD and mouse instead of clicking on a map. Enjoy detailed graphics and visual effects. Experience ACTION combat, dodging, and aiming with almost all attacks being skill-shot. SMITE is Free-to-Play but not pay-to-win.
Ao Kuang has transformed into Kukulkan. A re-envisioned version of Ao Kuang will return to SMITE sometime in the future.
This SMITE video covers: Sylvanus, Keeper of the Wild.
You can play today by downloading the game from: goo.gl/pg1wU

[@Kaledrone]

This isn't right. That tree is supposed to throw axes at enemies.

[@thatrandombananaunderyourb7337]

G r o v e r * cough cough

[@Kolleyy]

Anyone else think that a cherry blossom skin would look nice for Sylvanus?

[@phoenixblaze5491]

Its ok they have a bob ross one instead now

[@agoniavr]

4:10 "A perfect dunk by Thanatos..." - player's name: Jordan. Lol'd hard

[@mayonessa6298]

You have good eyes

[@agoniavr]

Servalwi L I actually happened to lay them in that spot for no good reason at that moment lol :P But yes let's pretend my eyes are great eheh ;)

[@MoliorRS]

This god needs the skin of treebeard with sylvanus becoming a hobbit

[@G2drummer]

So whens the Rocket Raccoon Groot skin?

[@foxhounde]

when its no longer copyrighted..

[@Lizzieeeeeeee]

foxhounde So in 120 years then. I can wait for that.

[@MrGingybread]

***** Technically copyrights only last about 30 - 50 years, unless you renew it. The Beatles' and Michael Jackson's copyrights ran out once and weren't renewed for like.. 3 months... so many movies and youtube videos and merch designers used the no-copyright works for that time and made full money off it. Was a good time.

[@Ebbylina]

I am Grover

[@Alphamabetical]

only certain people like me will get that

[@Alphamabetical]

***** sylvanus? no, noone was a dick to grover i think

[@XfurdawingpigxXx]

MinerPortal2Epic yea rocke- I mean sylvanus called him an idiot

[@blinky.5078]

MinerPortal2Epic from percy jackson?

[@Alphamabetical]

twistinsmoke then i realized its not from percy jackson :/

[@TheFalseVacuum]

I think they should start introducing Celtic gods. I think that would be pretty awesome! They could make Morrigan the first true female warrior in the game!

[@Caporai]

Imagine Sylvanus with Maokai's kit. The tree tosses Sylvanus to a location where he decide to hunt his target and blows up.

[@koreukii]

"Old and wise..." *accidentally kills an innocent boy's pet*

[@iDiscordAT]

Welcome to the Smite God Reveal for: Sylvanas, Runner of the Wind

[@sheepbeeps3369]

you know, just coming back to this game years later. I like Sylvanus's style, but I have one little annoyance. He doesn't share any conversation with Baccus. The party-god is his student and adopted son after all.

[@kennetblascothewhovian2439]

I am already liking this guy. Perfect definition of a supporter. Not to mention he looks like he can tank a hell lot of hits

[@ChaosNogard]

Stop comparing Smite's new Gods to any other character of any MOBA, it's getting old people, it doesn't make you look smart at all.

[@dontreadmyusername3321]

It's good to be inspired by other games and compare them, it's not good to hate on the inspiration unless it's an extremely similar copy

[@chaosd1]

(*walking through Egyptian exhibit in a museum*) "Pfft. Obvious Nasus ripoff." (*walking through forest, pointing at trees*) "Oh god. Maokai ripoffs everywhere." (*pointing at flowers*) "And a Zyra ripoff! Jesus, Riot needs to sue someone!"

[@dontreadmyusername3321]

ChaosD1 I aprove of this comment

[@ReaperEOD]

What do you mean? This is obv a Maokai, Blitzcrank, Nunu, Zyra, wait.. do you mean to imply a character's theme and kit define who they are and not their individual abilities or standalone themes? Who knew.

[@iamthechanceman]

ChaosD1 That was fucking hilarious, have all of my likes.

[@BroskiXP]

Soo... Where the Groot skin?

[@benlemus8560]

That would be absolutely amazing. And Sylvanus could be Rocket!

[@GTG583]

Frostandice ...

[@nicksucksatgamesandjasonis3334]

Gregor Petrović What's with the ellipses?

[@GTG583]

Nick sucks at games, and Jason is way better ????

[@DancingSword]

At first I thought it was the tree, then I noticed the antlered beardy-man sitting atop it. I like the way he scrambles around up there.

[@igimat123]

Another support for me:D. Thx Hirez

[@icefight930]

For once I can finally say that Hi-Rez finally made a perfect god. You have my total respect for this patch.

[@thebicameralmonk359]

So, in return for killing his pet,he turned him into a tree?

[@moosedraw3731]

In return for not correctly defending the creature he turned the boys dead body into a tree that lives for hundreds of years.

[@NWLR-tv]

People have been turned into worst

[@philspence3073]

This story also appears in Greek mythology, instead of a random God turning the grief-stricken Cyparissus into the tree, it's Apollo, Cyparissus' boyfriend

[@Duke260396]

A Korpiklaani album (prefferably Ukon Wacka) + Sylvanus = loads of fun and awesomeness

[@moyval8767]

love the final animation

[@cabbagedestroyer1693]

His passive needs to be buffed back to "all basic attack landed" again. His first ability needs some love, I would let the flower give HP5 as well as MP5. His Wisp heal ability % should increase each rank as well, instead of flat 25% at all levels, it should be (15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, and 35%). I mean each rank of this ability essentially only increase the total amount healed by 25. Which is just pathetic... His pull should be longer range due to its slow animation His multi is fine as it is. Currently This hero is ranked very lowly in competitive, he needs a lotta more buff than just reducing the cool down on his pulls

[@fritzmuller4558]

i kinda think these pulls are op and they have to be slow cuz otherwise u culd pull someone to easy into an tower i totaly agree in the other points :D

[@DangerousCR]

+fritz müller the pulls actually require skill. Not op at all. If anything it should be able to reach longer

[@briancorraleshodinka3929]

Totally agree with you. Sylvanus is an amazing support but I would feel even more useful if the wisps were to heal much more and his passive was as you said.

[@fritzmuller4558]

Brian Corrales Hodinka well i a sil main ^^ and i just love him i got a match with an 10 hel and i had top dmg and top heal and it doesnt seem like the hel boosted or bad

[@briancorraleshodinka3929]

fritz müller wow! that is really cool! Hel is one of the top healers, so if you surpassed her in both damage and healing you must be great with Sylvanus :D

[@Mezmoreyez]

Now I can be with my one true love, SupportTree-Senpai

[@YueYukii]

FYI hes going to be the second guardian with range attack, the fisrt and only was hades. His ults ressemble a bit and i hope it cause a lot of damage like hades or geb ults

[@Hatmaster]

the mp5 flower and heals are going to be interesting in assault.

[@AthenaAGT]

for all those who play him as support, repeat after me: Hear my words and bear witness to my vow. Players gather and now my watch begins. It shall not end until my death. I shall take no kills, hold no buffs, Bear no toxicity. I shall wear no crowns and win no glory. I shall live and die for my team. I am the Courage in the teamfight , I am the watcher of the carries. I am the shield that guards the rest of my team. I pledge my life and honor to the supports role. For this Game and all the games to come. -TechieFragger

[@karlzone2]

As disappointed as I am by two Guardians in a row, I must admit that this god looks incredibly polished, well designed and just *fun* to play.

[@W4Rx1Sx0V3R]

I can't wait for this god!

[@Mal2103]

3:55 "A perfect dunk by Thanatos gets the kill." Thanatos' IGN is Jordan. WP Hi-Rez.

[@Vazkeron]

Hello Grover! I wish Hi-Rez add some Gods from Smite to Paladins, it would be great

[@Semaj0z]

They have Grover, makoa is the only God I worship tho

[@JD-hm3nw]

Sylvanus accidentally killed a kid, felt bad so decided to make him a crying tree. Seems legit.

[@theDaggoth1]

this makes me want to play again

[@Branx99]

That's because he is a utility based support for duo lane. He is not supposed to be getting kills, just supporting his team, in which his kit is good at doing.

[@FluxSpirit]

I've been waiting for a pudge hook-like ability for a long time! Tho, i feel it kinda needed a longer range and maybe it could've been an ult.

[@TareOm]

looks like you totaly missed old arachna then... she had a hook-ult for long time / beta / early launch.

[@mayonessa6298]

They rework the old god with pudge hook. Decided to keep the mechanics but make it not so potent like the old one

[@FluxSpirit]

TareOm No, I remember her. She was just so shitty that I almost never played her.

[@erti655]

if it was longer it would be op

[@Asterion437]

Bastet heard your cries and got it now...

[@NWLR-tv]

Has a lot of healing and can be built to be tanky, I'm gonna make him my main the first chance I get

[@zachmullenger1671]

Maybe the animals that Sylvanus looks after could be used in some abilities like the wolves attack or something like that

[@ttimhappy]

Such originality ~.~

[@djdano92]

sylvanus windrunner the mighty ruler of thee undead :P (from WOW if some people don't know)

[@MrUkitake505]

maoki is that you

[@asdwad59asana90]

I see you Sylvanus.With the ultimate technique Frenzy Plant

[@sonicshell2443]

The giant tree used to be the boy who lost his pet deer from a pack of wolves and died from the grief that he made from his mistake... I think.

[@aaronson4328]

I'll need a SylvaNOOSE after the way she pronounces Sylvanus.

[@Tw1s7]

A much better Maokai. I love it!

[@thelolzyone6582]

Please, don't compare Smite and LoL...

[@gomukaizoku]

Blitzokai.

[@Tw1s7]

***** I play mostly Smite now so It's cool. I can :D

[@Nexxuxx]

***** Dude the tree is a direct steal from Maoki. You can compare the two here.

[@ErzbischofAmurael]

ImThe1andOnlyPanda Yes! How dare them to steal from Riot, who went and singlehandedly invented trees for us to enjoy?

[@leon2589]

Did anyone notice the god Pan at the beggining in the story lore, i hope they add it kinda cool a faunor satyr god

[@theDaggoth1]

Some Mayan Gods Ideas: -Maximon(god of travelers, merchants and medicine) a support most likely. -Camazotz (god of bats) maybe a warrior or assassin.

[@Sparkman91]

So Treant Protector and Enchantress with Tidehunter ulti? Gotcha! So pretty much tanky melee support?

[@anodigerion7375]

Not meelee, as i saw it in the video he has some strange kind of round aoe basics

[@alcoruma9204]

+ pudge

[@MegaJawa12]

He is not melee

[@Fwivolame]

More like tiny's passive, With treant's leech seed, necro's heal thing, a pudge hook, and yeah, tide ulti....sounds like a pretty OP support in ability draft to me XD

[@VanguardZen]

But it looks like Treant Protector with Alchemist's Keen rider throwing what seems to be a bag of weed at people.

[@AggressionSsbb]

tree-ant not trent

[@Metalmudo]

Tidehunter+Wisp+Treant :D Looks cool god, finally some good instant aoe ulti.

[@TheLegal24]

Hey looks like Groot finally found his way to smite :D

[@68tibor]

he looks fun

[@peterei3]

Hey God-Reveal-Girl, he`s called "Ram" not "Rama"

[@marofer758]

nope, rama

[@Boetman96]

marofer758 Actually you don't pronounce the last 'a' in the names of multiple hindu gods. Basically Rama is spoken as "Ram" and Kumbakarna as "Kumbakarn" this applies to many others aswell. ^^

[@AlexZJuzTryin0ut]

marofer758 its rama, but pronounced ram, with a silent 'a'

[@Nuinwing]

Alex Z In some areas as far as I know...other areas have a it as Rama and others as Ram with a silent a...both ways are valid.

[@TheHornedKing]

She pronounce it as "ram" in his god reveal.

[@NoESanity]

2:16 there is no healing attached to his 1 ability, in fact it actually seems to not benefit from lifesteal procs at all even at 40% (pythag and divine)

[@MrSkalitos]

I still want Hypnos or Somnus in this game

[@5H4D3]

Wait , is his basic attack AoE ranged ?

[@dontreadmyusername3321]

yea, they went for something different and the devs said it was a good idea

[@andreipenciu13]

Yes.Yes it is

[@5H4D3]

Damn , thats gonna be interesting .

[@andreipenciu13]

He was designed as a support,but you can use demonic grip and all around damage items to make him a good solo god.He will become my favourite god for sure!

[@runningwild09]

Andrei Penciu except that he has no escapes at all

[@gomukaizoku]

What's the song at 2:10?

[@gomukaizoku]

Daroot - Sylphstorm

[@gomukaizoku]

***** maybe

[@Tauro008si]

***** Still funneh

[@jonathonsirlord8251]

Grover was so popular they had him in Paladins & Smite

[@XBLonTwitch]

About time Pudge came to the party.

[@LaMereACaniche]

Other than the fact that he's nothing like pudge, whaaat?

[@NinjaTurtlez9028]

I feel like lately Smite has been disregarding actual mythology more than ever. Seriously, why does this protective wild deity appear as a senile little man riding a giant moving tree? Don't even get. E started on fucking Scylla...

[@Alphamabetical]

Scylla is in mythology.

[@NinjaTurtlez9028]

Scylla is in mythology as this huge messed up monster that lives on a cliff. Since when was a little girl with dog heads on tentacles that lives in the sea anything to do with that?

[@Alphamabetical]

I only know that she is in mythology

[@ParcoFolgore777]

A protective and otherwise pacifist entity can fight in times of extreme need, sometimes using their powers cunningly outfight more agressive enemies. I'll use Groot from the recent movie as an exemple. I doubt he was ever meant to be a warrior but his plant abilities, something not made for battle, make him actually kick ass. And mythology says that Scylla was a horrific sea monster, with the upper body of a female human, some sources describe her having wolf heads and tentacles. How you interpret that is up to you, Hirez chose the little girl interpretation, a rather peculiar one I admit, to bring some diversity to the god roster, saying that "they wanted a little girl character".

[@runningwild09]

Jack Edge Some people have it that Scylla was a woman, rather than just a pure monster/beast. Now, as for why they had her as a little girl, I think it was more or less, done as a way of showing the irony in how this "cute little girl, who is fair and pretty" is actually A MONSTER! (you know, the line she says when she ults). Also, some gods in the game, are based off primordial (forget the name off hand) and thus do not have an actual body or shape since they are the personification of something (eg. Chronos is time itself, Thanatos is Death, Geb is earth etc)

[@maksiorkowski]

The ultimate is just like tidehunter's from dota 2

[@MegaJawa12]

NO.

[@mayonessa6298]

MegaJawa12 Yes + the poison dps

[@Lizzieeeeeeee]

Servalwi L Yea it's totally a torpedo knockup that tracks and follows a single enemy, then knocks them up and deals damage over time. TOTALLY.

[@chrispaladin7530]

Already OP......love him

[@nosliwyelir]

Anyone else notice the sound was extremely off for this reveal?

[@dragonfable97]

moi + zyra + blitz = sylvanus?

[@Tw1s7]

you forgot Nunu or Rumble.

[@deadblasterjs]

Its really hard for you to realize its not even close to lol?

[@dragonfable97]

Lol it is really close to lol

[@deadblasterjs]

Dan Holst Same logic as Modern warfare is a rip off of CounterStrike

[@Geeageee]

Isaac .Banai Way to put words in someone elses mouth. You sure sound insecure about what game you like. I enjoy both LoL and Smite. And just because someone likes to compare a combination of champs to a smite god, doesn't mean they are trying to diss the game in anyway.

[@Prismetical]

Hey Hi-Rez, you know what girls are?

[@kassiekitsune189]

um... what is the point of this comment exactly?

[@Fwivolame]

Wolfhaven Maybe he's a perv who wants more female gods to be released?

[@Prismetical]

True.

[@Hakkapell]

Fwivo I wouldn't necessarily say he's a perv... Smite has way more gods than goddesses, and they've been releasing more and more males into the game... Variety? No, obviously he's a perv somehow.

[@Prismetical]

True.

[@Dibs_108]

I love her voice

[@temoxdd]

I love this god!!!!

[@Pyropardus]

Who is this trent guy?

[@MonomKingOfModnar]

the Trent is Grover

[@shinkutan]

he is groot

[@TalhahR]

Kris Mino they should have been a skin where its groot and rocket riding him

[@ducksoup10]

He is Groot. (guardian of the galaxy)

[@Pyropardus]

Ok, for the slow out there, "tree-ant" is how it is pronounced.

[@MrVartoxy]

LoL fanboys... 3 ... 2 ... 1

[@Adritxan]

Super duper op!

[@joelthief]

I like the abilities =\ and the animations

[@WalterKing1]

Tidehunter ult ....

[@anodigerion7375]

I think they just wanted to keep arachnes ult after the rework

[@PitangerTrad]

What's a Tidehunter?

[@hutyro]

So, since Dota 2 made it first, no one else can have an aoe knock up in their MOBA?

[@rdsasuke1]

No

[@OB-806]

Please god get a new narrator who doesn't say Anhoooor and Sylvanooooos.

[@Alphamabetical]

you are basically saying that you don't like the way she talks, and also she can pronounce it however she wants, and why does it matter? you are almost saying that she should say ha bua instead of he bo, same thing either way you pronounce it.

[@OB-806]

MinerPortal2Epic I don't like her mispronounciation. She can't say it however she wants because there is a proper way to say things.

[@Alphamabetical]

Josh O'Brien I dont mean she can say Anhur like Meatball. i mean if its just a little misprounciation like anhoor and anhur, then its fine, and don't watch it if you don't like the mispronounciation

[@OB-806]

MinerPortal2Epic There is no such thing as a little mispronounciation, when you're trying to be a good representation of a game. If they can't even get the fucking narrator of their videos to learn the correct pronounciation (like all it takes is someone to pull her aside and say "it's not anhoooor") then that doesn't reflect well on them.

[@maybenaught]

Josh O'Brien But "u" in Latin (and lots of other languages) makes same sound as "oo" does English. Her prosody is weird, but she hasn't actually used the wrong sounds when saying the Gods' names...at least in this video. That goes for Anhur too. However, (according to wikipedia) "Sylvanus" should actually be spelled "Silvanus", since the Romans used "y" in words they borrowed from Greek. The Greeks pronounced "y" and "i" differently, but Latin doesn't make that distinction. Since Silvanus is a Roman deity, it should have an "i".

[@menagerieorganization4820]

The name reminds me of the Sylvans from the Witcher series

[@TyronMakeka]

Awersome!

[@TheStormy1997]

Still waiting for a female warrior please. I don't know why you even made Nemesis into an assassin... she was your only one. it seems a little sexist, really.

[@IdeaToMind]

Not at the all, in fact, the community wanted her to be an assassin because that's the way she was played 90% of time and her kit wasn't at all build as a warrior.

[@erti655]

they had to make her an assasin becuase that what she was, calling her a warrior is like calling a motorcycle a truck

[@crossmodulation9730]

How is it sexist? Nemesis needed to be an assassin, because of her kit. And females aren't usually born warriors, anyway.

[@GoldenMGames]

Im sorry but if you want to see a warrior goddess just look at free. I know she plays asa mage but she is the leader of the valkyries

[@Eleglas]

How on earth is that sexist? Changing a God to better reflect her lore and abilities seems completely rational to me, and not at all sexist.

[@Nomoredie]

looks like dota's hero rooftrellen + leviathan for his ulti :P

[@ellie9684]

I once got a triple kill from tower diving then activating Sylvanus' ulti by a bunch of enemies with low health. It would of been a quadra kill but the low health Fenrir moved away in the nick of time. Still got him tho. :). At least I got an Xbox achievement by killing 3 enemies with one skill.

[@wyattainsworth3693]

Ha nice! I love slyvanus my favorite God glad to see him getting some love in the new patch

[@swarm69]

the announcer lady was sat too close to the microphone during the kills ..good lawd

[@SweatyYeti420]

There should be a slyvanus skin that like the tree is groot and the little guy on top is a racoon. Call it like the gardens of the galaxy skin or something idk.

[@MrCess69]

I really want to see a Rocket Raccoon/Groot Skin combo for this guy in the very near future. D:

[@TomboTime]

I want to master this guy for the sole purpose of going around and killing enemies while shouting "I AM GROOT!!!"

[@Semaj0z]

Oh look it's Grover

[@jeanne8115]

Grover is shook

[@Chocopacotaco1413]

am I the only one thinking of world of warcarft right now when he bring the child back to life.

[@ryanblasic753]

Great character design

[@MrCSisley]

Got to say it now, Sylvanus and Geb together will be a pain together in general XD

[@ShaneL9605]

A Master-Blaster skin for this guy would be great xD

[@somedude96]

The spirits do not rest.

[@matteo9826]

Poor sardinia, it disappeared

[@999madgamer]

when I first saw this it reminded me of two things ents from lord of the rings and groot from guardians of the galaxy

[@BullTechGaming]

I would LOOOOOOOOOVE to see a groot and rocket racoon skin :)

[@ironxcrosss]

They have to make a rocket and groot skin for this XD

[@Tobygas]

Best support

[@EvelynnLuxe]

Mah name is sylvanoose and ah spek for te trees.

[@Spypaokara23]

Sylvanus needs a Rocket and Groot skin!

[@Y2KMDJ]

She finally said the gods name right.

[@weewoo3892]

Groooooverrrr

[@kroonor_levoart]

Groooveeer...

[@sylferino]

this god has beautiful lore if it's accurate

[@surprisemc1669]

so this is where Grover comes from

[@ShotLegacy]

Treant Protector + Enchantress + Pudge + Tidehunter = Sylvanus Well done, Hi-Rez.

[@invernozzz639]

grooover

[@mateogual96]

this new god is Awesome! i love it
