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!

[@MusicLegallyBlonde]

The announcer lady is really working for that paycheck.

[@mrduckface1205]

+MusicLegallyBlonde yeah

[@fschubert93]

+MusicLegallyBlonde She kinda competes with Nevercake, so she has to put in work xD

[@MusicLegallyBlonde]

Kitty of Death if they ever did a video together, I would just die.

[@phase_shifter1375]

+MusicLegallyBlonde 69 likes :D

[@LennoxRyan]

+MusicLegallyBlonde count me in with that dying part ... hope they make it happen cuz that will be glorious.

[@DaVideoGameBeastr]

1:56 "And... he will never die." Not if Thanatos has anything to say about it.

[@skipper2888]

Im main thanatos and im gona kill him and give to hades Jajajajajajajajajaj XD

[@turtolelegs6831]

+Skipper learn to spell ha...

[@cheesyrobestm227]

+turtole legs Pretty sure he's speaking dutch or german, also it's his grammar not his spelling that's wrong.

[@andrew10022]

+A Certain British Walrus TM ja is also how Spanish people type haha

[@martarodriguez6984]

+andrew10022 yes XD in Spain we say jaja instead of haha

[@visarden2091]

And... he will never die.... Sweet looks like my kda with Xing tian will be good

[@phase_shifter1375]

+vis arden looks like my boy thanatos has some work a "head" of him >:)

[@NickWarlordGR]

+23Ways To Die Puns! Excitement!

[@phase_shifter1375]

NickWarlordGR :D

[@phase_shifter1375]

YESSS...HIS WILL TO HANG ON TO HIS LIFE.... WILL MAKE HIM GOOD PRAY >:D.... DEATH TO ALL NEW GODS

[@phase_shifter1375]

btw i really like thanatos :D

[@falkarios2944]

Oh god, when I heard the announcer say this god never surrenders, I instantly imagined some idiot in conquest not pressing F6 because "Xing Tian never surrenders." I guarantee this is going to be a thing, get ready for the trolls everyone.

[@falkarios2944]

+Skeith Souls lol, I just read another comment saying the same thing.

[@Erik-gp3il]

But you should never give up! How can you learn from your mistakes if you just give up before the match is even over? Besides, you never know when you can make a comeback. My team in a conquest match wanted to surrender once but I stopped it and 20 mins later of intense battling we won the game.

[@throgdarthebrute2688]

I love the lore lady, the way she tells the story always makes me smile !

[@enozmah6081]

Throgdar The Brute yea, the way she tells the stories is so euphoric.

[@Hargazer]

That announcer lady's voice is great, I love how passionate she is. She really deserves more credit for her work imo.

[@FrizFroz]

Oh look, the God of F7!

[@skipper2888]

Lololol :)

[@johntiseo7052]

Doctor doom in a nutshell really.

[@Mr_Maiq_The_Liar]

Ironic he sucks. He's like one of those guys who always goes f7 even if there is a 7000 gold and xp deposit

[@gavinmahoney5402]

+The Swedish spirit He doesn't suck xD. Build him damage. You will learn the true OPness of this god.

[@keinkanal7382]

+The Swedish spirit he doesnt suck just him being a guradian was a wrong decision. he can deal lots of damage

[@TheKroganMaster]

Probably one of my favorite god designs, really well done. I was hoping for his kit to match his strong will that allowed him to come back to life but his kit does seem really fun. :)

[@TheKroganMaster]

Andriy Bulenok Yeah his passive goes well with his lore of not giving up. Just would of liked maybe a self rez or something.

[@Dambob]

The shoulderpads have a nice Garrosh Hellscream vibe.

[@Hoztyle619]

+Damien McAlear (Dambob) I know, even the axe has a Warcraft feel to it.

[@MrFwufyClipsHD]

+Damien McAlear (Dambob) he looks like something from mists of pandaria with that colour scheme, well obviously since that is based of china >_> but still

[@DEFxRECON]

Lore Lady got pretty intense. I'm scurred nao

[@tyoukko6103]

can we add to xing tians passive that he cannot surrender?

[@kobu3262]

Wish this guy's passive was something like Sion or Karthus from League of Legends. Coming back to life for a short time after death would be a cool addition to Smite and I think it fits the lore as well as being a way better passive than what he has right now.

[@Mr_Maiq_The_Liar]

Passive HP5 is shit yes. But we already have a god that can come back to life, and it there was another variation of that one would be a super shit version of the others passive

[@xxxxxxxxxxxxx_xxxxxxxxxxxxx]

I completely agree. They used this passive with Ni Zha and he wasn't very popular until they changed it. This passive does fit a tank better, buy overall it's just garbage. Hp5 isn't a prime choice unless in Assault.

[@ZeekTrep13]

+Andrew Lee Might not be good for a fight, but it would be a good regen tool if someone were to take him into a solo lane. Like a Garen passive.

[@slothape]

+Andrew Lee Yeah that would be almost too perfect.

[@ShamanKing0811]

You better give me a Gurren Lagan skin for this god Hi-Rez

[@diegosolano9582]

+Bobby Shepard i like your thinking

[@Stro2101]

+Bobby Shepard That should be an 600 skin or event Skin but it would be so great is they actually make a Gurren Lagan skin.

[@Nephalem0]

YESSSSS!!!!

[@keiganm1287]

lol yeah hirez is going to pay for copyrights on that. keep dreaming

[@keinkanal7382]

+Keigan McHugh psshhh. they do not make copyright. gamma radiation kabrakan isnt hulk noooo.

[@Nikkimond]

Xing Tian, stop feeding the yellow emperor. -.- Nice video.

[@Minipluten98]

We need a Gurren Lagann skin for Xing Tian!

[@bioshockinfintyfan]

There has to be a gurren laggan refrence there.

[@MachePatate3000]

+bioshockinfintyfan Really? i dint hear it

[@bioshockinfintyfan]

MlgRhinoPrime there should be thats what i wanted to say.

[@MachePatate3000]

bioshockinfintyfan Oooh

[@Minipluten98]

Who the hell do you think I am!

[@KonoNana]

+bioshockinfintyfan i once thought i'd love a gurren lagann skin for sylv (tree gurren, sylv lagann, owl kamina) then 2 days later he got the scientist skin looking like there are drills at his ult? close enough

[@brandonknight7773]

a Chinese Ares

[@_Seileach]

+Brandon Henderson Well, he is called the god of battle by some in history.

[@pruthvishetty5656]

+Brandon Henderson ares without the ticks

[@CarloIsGreat]

+Pruthvi Shetty His 1 ticks and does % health

[@pruthvishetty5656]

yup i just played against a Xing, as a baka he full to zeroed me using his ult and 1 having 700 and 600 dmg each at 17 lv and he had built tank

[@TheApokolypze]

+Pruthvi Shetty Ok there is no way he did 700 damage with ult while building full tank, his ult only goes to 150 damage before scaling.

[@TheDarknessMare]

I'm not even mad that they released 2 guardians in a row! I love guardians and he looks super fun to play! ^3^

[@hugeguy8714]

Please hirez don't nerf him, He isn't OP.

[@christiansilva9035]

They actually buffed him after his first day in PTS. The most they can do is revert that.

[@hugeguy8714]

+Christian Silva I didn't know thanks!

[@Lionsboyx3]

He legit can get 4000 hp and deal 1500 with his ult. are you kidding?

[@Mr_Maiq_The_Liar]

He's brokenly weak

[@Mr_Maiq_The_Liar]

+Shervin Kiani not at the same time. Level 20 ult is 150% scaling, and 450 base, and I don't suspect he will have that high damage on the 4 k build

[@airborne142]

Still one of my favorite gods despite the fact that Hi-Rez nerfed him to the ground. #StillwindingUp

[@stitchowi]

Arbore_Kun Buffed.

[@Ankhakaru]

Arbore_Kun ???what chu talkn bout willis??? he OP AF 😅

[@jayden-is3si]

5:40 that scylla is like "oh. what now?"

[@Marbo12f]

What I got from this was, we could eventually see the yellow emperor on the field.

[@triforcedemon23]

can lore lady be an announcer pack.

[@ashleyud5674]

yes.

[@BooFlame]

Thank you for bringing back the original announcer! She does it the best. Thank you!

[@AnonymityIx]

I love the detail you put into this one. Best reveal video yet

[@Dayum343]

And he will never die. Great job HiRez. Xing tian op with his never die passive.

[@MonkeyCurler]

Great god to add to my support pool...can't wait to begin my own salt production company

[@YueYukii]

announcer voice intensifies...i like it. And how they show the lore was very awesome, like a comic :D

[@shirochan666]

A headless suit of armor on the battlefield? Alphons Elric has risen!

[@dragonforcelego]

I fail to see the need of his helmet... Like, how does it not fall off and wouldn't it be cooler to play someone without a head... Is the just my thinking weird??

[@psykoe3]

+m rasmussen Not you thinking weird, probably just them not wanting to have it gory. It would have been cool, and maybe we will get some kind of skin like that later who knows. Maybe he just wanted his helmet back haha.

[@KonoNana]

well, i hoped they'd just make the body without the head :/ totally hope there'll come a skin without the helmet

[@HIPEOPLE1887]

I think China has a bit of an issue with what you're talking about so that could be why it's there.

[@Konrad-ur1jd]

+PsYkOe Hes green, they could just have it be another shade of green or some shit.

[@psykoe3]

As someone else said though, I think china has a thing about gore or something along those lines, they have to be sensitive to other markets as well!

[@anon2752]

That pronunciation, shing not zing.

[@nebula8000]

honestly the god reveals have been super awesome recently!

[@jeckles]

PSA: Actually you can do other abilities between the two charges of your 3 lunge.

[@MrEpicG3]

This is epic I'm stoked to start making videos with this god! Thanks Hi-Rez!

[@WWEFAN952]

that ulti... so fun

[@amydavis972]

I can't believe they added Dream to Smite

[@dimitriweber1204]

hi rez! bring us the yellow emperor!

[@akaj2013]

This is a lot more in depth for a god reveal. I like it.

[@MetalDrummer141]

Teamfight "Xiang Tian Ults! He passes to Odin OH THE RING OF SPEARS! They are trapped in there with him now! Zeus throwing the Chain Lighting! Anubis coming from the jun- THE GRASPING HAN- *PENTA KILL!!!!!!!! PENTA KILL!!!!!! THE MOST ELECTRIFIYING PLAY IN E-SPORTS ENTERTAINMENT HISTORY!"*

[@MakZor]

I don't play smite but i just feel that he will be insane with that kind of gap closer, throw 5 enemies to the same spot, then the rest of the team can wombo combo them

[@Jyrskis]

Yep, if the enemy team happens to be in a clusterfuck without beads, sure.

[@LuisAndion]

Yey, the announcer lady is back! Missed ya! ;)

[@PingachuWarham]

i'm surprised by the quality of the animation and the skill combo suggestions, hirez really outdid themselves with this god reveal.

[@WheatlypotatOs1]

Seen his ult from back then is so bizarre because I'm used to the little wind up that he has now

[@StoneWukong]

I Don't Think You Guys Take Ideas But I Have A Idea: Zhu BaJie The Pig Warrior Chinese Passive: Feast Bajie Has A Melon Meter. Each Time Bajie Uses A Abilty The Melon Meter Fills Up. The Higher It's Filled The Faster He Attacks Abilty 1: Scrape Bajie Spins In A Circle With His Rake Damaging Enemies. If He Hits A Allie That Allies Negetive Effects Are Taken Away Abilty 2:Melon Toss Bajie Throws A Melon That Splits Into 4 Pieces Each Piece That Hits A Enemy Gets Slowed Abilty 3:Carry Bajie Charges Foward Knocking Enemies Behind Him And If He Hits A Allie He Takes The Allie With Him Ultimate:For The Melon! You Place A Melon On A Enemy's Head Then You Charge Tword Him/Her Knocking Other Enemies Away When You Get To That God That God Gets Slowed And Takes Damage

[@JustaSmilingHedgehog]

That is probably the most stylish "CUHRAZY" ultimate made in a MOBA.

[@gerardolaura7321]

Xing Tian and Ares double Beads!!!!

[@Law_xD]

i call bullshit on that ult

[@blessedbull1]

+Crabcakes125 yhea you might say that but his ult will tottatly make ares useless

[@I-Roy]

+AthenaWhisper not really to everything.

[@blessedbull1]

AthenaWhisper yhea but xin tian can walk around for a pritty long time and then also trow the enemies in a area

[@carlwheezerthecroissant3304]

+Sibek Korin You do know that I got 7 kills while not paying attention with Xing I was like aaa... what happend? Cause well his kit is very good cc and mobility so he can kill and enemy easy if you throw him under a tower do the knockup and then shoot num 1 at their face and get kills

[@I-Roy]

not true, he hits like a truck as a tank.

[@griffisyt]

people keep saying he is ravana 2.0, but he is actually quite good. i played him correctly in all the best roles in each game mode and it worked really well and was alot of fun!

[@norbeota95]

"There is no death, there is the Force."

[@sickpig007]

They should use these to reveal on twitch patch notes... the hype would be real!

[@chaoxide6058]

This god looks awesome! Love the new designers gods. Love Ravana and it looks like I'm gonna love Xing to. Oh i wanted to let you guys know that on the Xbox there's a bug with Ravana. His B or ten hand shadow fist disappears at times it will activate the move but it won't come out. It's very frustrating cause he's one of my favorite gods.

[@Vgpl0]

Imagine this guy's ult into a Thanatos Soul Reap. RIP. Literally.

[@JadedDragon662]

I like how she pronounces his name something like 8 different ways.

[@TedUstinov]

i still prefer the old lore visuals, the whole static scroll down image. But yay for announcer coming back.

[@gregoriolupercio5535]

Him with Ares is going to be so strong even with beads around.

[@havocxmosquito2839]

this is one of the coolest ultimates iv ever seen

[@captinchillin]

I love Lore Lady.... what was I gonna say though... OH I hope his tier 2 skin includes a head

[@watisyur12354]

Furious roar (his 1) is his main clearing tools and can be used to stack his passive very quickly. If you mean hitting minions and stacking the passive, this needs to be fixed because what is being said is not true.

[@Upup2211]

I hope HiRez eventually dips their toes out of the comfort zone and does some crazy utility gods for advanced users. There isn't a whole lot of that in Smite and it's the only thing I feel it's lacking.

[@Blazegreg2005]

Lore Lady and Nevercake need their own Announcer Voice Packs.

[@BlueHundred1]

Excited to try him in the jungle.

[@trumppork3975]

I suggest you go to see the real legend of Xing Tian.《山海经》.《shanhaijing》In the original legend, he was a kind-hearted giant who liked to play music very much. He was decapitated by the enemy in order to avenge his master, and then transformed into a headless warrior to protect his army from evacuation. In the end, his body and head were both Dead and sealed in the mountains by the enemy

[@bloojay7]

This guy is flat out op. Especially if you have the balls to build him full magical power. Its devastating

[@xyeller]

I like the new added info in these reveals :) much more detail

[@AceTurney]

His victory screen though, pretty great. I remember the first time a saw Neiths victory, a way long time ago. I was like... o.o...?

[@christson3669]

''he will never die''. Thanatos Intensifies

[@Boomboom79851]

His 3rd ability reminds me of the old Guan Yu ultimate. RIP never forget.

[@AsprosOfAzeroth]

"He will never die!" , challenge accepted ;)

[@starwars1744]

This dudes control is intense

[@Riganotza]

Ah, the glory days when Xing's ult had no wind-up

[@d4peters86]

We need more Hindu and Chinese gods and also some Greek gods like Demeter

[@synekendo]

Nolan Peters still waiting for freyr , heimdall and widar from nordic pantheon

[@d4peters86]

Who's widar

[@damarea55581]

So.... confirmed that Xing Tian is the fire nation

[@Andrukp]

I am glad they got his damage buffed, he was too underpowered! Awesome!

[@opera4591]

That ultimate would to be OP with old Nu wa

[@brandonnormandin3793]

man I was playing Ares always, but I've been destroying with Xing Tian, my favorite characters :D

[@AlexHallon]

Xing's ult into Ares', then a bunch of AoE damage is going to be a crazy combo...

[@MyNameIsSuperAwsome1]

+Alex Hallon Beads.

[@AlexHallon]

If you choose to beads Xing, Ares can blink and ult you. If you choose to take Xing's ult and beads Ares, you'll already be next to their team. Magi's isn't that hard to remove before initiating, either. I'm aware it's counterable by good players, but I already tried it and destroyed in casual Arena.

[@DigitalHawk96]

+Alex Hallon Ares Ult baits out beads a lot better since it has a bigger AoE than Xing Tian's. If you can actually get off a 5 man ares ult into a 5 man Xing Tian ult... I would be quite scared.

[@Kithara1117]

Seems very strong... with identical items his ability dump does 400 more damage than Agni's in only a second longer timeframe. Two dashes, AA damage reduction, strong sustain, and quite a bit of crowd control. His only real weakness is CC to interrupt his 2 and stop his second leap. But it's not really a weakness, because he's a guardian. If he is only shut down by CC, that's good for the rest of the team. Methinks he needs base damage reduction.

[@hidingpenguin]

His passive should be " auto F7 whenever your team wants to surrender"

[@Hung_Nguyen_90]

Pretty detail on this one

[@binifarmer4045]

You know, one of these days Hi-Rez needs to make the Yellow Emperor (Huang Di) into a playable character.

[@kelvinfalzon2931]

WAIT, AM I TIRED OR IS THE LADY BACK!?!?!? GOSH, I MISS THAT SEXY, MOUTH-WATERING VOICE SO SO SO MUCH!

[@appelmonkey375]

Gurren Laggann anyone?

[@TheRihard]

This dude better get a gurren lagunn skin, his looks speak for themself

[@thelolzyone6582]

+Richard Estepp copyright dreamcrusher, although a Gunmen skin would be pretty fucking badass

[@TheRihard]

They could do it, just not make it obvious

[@Orrenn]

+Thelolzyone Eh. LoL basically did it for Rumble, so I imagine the same could happen here if Hi-Rez really wanted it to.

[@StayVCA98]

Smite really made Xingtian look awesome!! You should see his real depiction on the internet, its hilarious 😂 but i understand why he was made that way.... 😅

[@nautilusshell2089]

Xing Tian, the best god

[@gaze2156]

An "X" in Chinise pinyin is not pronounced like a "Z". It's its own sound, not present in English. It sounds more like a "sh", but you have to make your mouth wide like you're smiling, and press your tongue to the back of your teeth. And "ing" after an "X" does sound like the English "ing", but the "i" is a long "e".

[@Alernategem]

No one cares

[@stitchowi]

Ruger Manzer That "sh" smiling AND your tounge is like russian.

[@Tobiasu]

This is so true.

[@bakublader1999]

3:26 this ability makes a great engage tool to break the enemy lines. that's why you need to buy blink, Right? Because it is such a good initiate.

[@DiscountOstrich]

I smell...nerf

[@MachePatate3000]

+TheNuroshi on his skill yes they need more atack

[@joeyouyang]

+TheNuroshi did you even play him in pts

[@ericrieth1447]

Hmm nerf smells like cherries and the jizz stains of the 12 year old Korean God children who have already mastered this God to rank 10...

[@psykoe3]

+TheNuroshi I am sure he will be, I mean Khepri is still being nerfed to the ground haha. Nefr supports, buff assasins! Tis the way of Smite now.

[@marcosvalerio7517]

+TheNuroshi Said no one ever...

[@Pakaku9]

him and cupid... such a great combo

[@SimultaneousSLA]

+Alex Lavoie Him and pretty much, everything. lol.

[@BlackGoldThunder]

Sh-SHE'S BACK?

[@you-cf7df]

I really like this history

[@johntiseo7052]

There is no defeat huh? Xing Tian confirmed Doctor Doom. DOCTOR DOOM DOES NOT FAIL.

[@jonathonsirlord8251]

0:45 looks like the human version of garrosh from World of warcraft

[@EANTYcrown]

she stopped saying this and that ability "is called", and started saying just, ability "is"... im so happy

[@annida1225]

When is Set coming to Smite? I cant wait

[@AhmedSamir-ze1zh]

What goes up....MUST GO DOWN!

[@izHyDra]

I really hope one of his jokes is "Just do it"

[@TheObscuran]

Two tanks in a row, yes!

[@RobertAniFreak]

OOH BOY another story * pulls out popcorn * I love this myths and legends, too bad the game style is not my thing but still its amazing

[@heinrichalbert432]

Anyone knows what type of animation they use for the god reveals ?

[@heinrichalbert432]

+Emilian Stanev oh ok ,thanks man.
