SMITE God Reveal - Zhong Kui, The Demon Queller

SMITE is an online battleground between gods that is free-to-play and currently in Beta.
You can play today by downloading the game from: www.smitegame.com
SMITE is similar to DoTA gameplay but instead of being above the action you are IN the action. Close third-person camera instead of RTS view. Move with WASD instead of clicking on a map. Detailed graphics and visual effects. ACTION combat, dodging, and aiming. Everything is a skill-shot. Free-to-Play but not pay-to-win.
This SMITE video covers: Zhong Kui, The Demon Queller.

[@1okrocker82]

AND HIS NAME IS ZHOHN KUINA!!!

[@DatNguyen-ng3ti]

LMAO this guy XD

[@otosuchomel5875]

John Quee

[@johanngaiusisinwingazuluah2116]

That's actually how you pronounced it. Zh becomes J in Chinese

[@rainbowdashroblox101]

John quee was his first born name until he discovered at 17 years old that he was chinese and decided to change his name for his country so he decided to named himself like that

[@ML-kb7il]

Oto Suchomel that should be a skin

[@jiggamanog]

Jhon wick!

[@jiangming2621]

9/10 comments on every god reveal video ever = "ermahgerd you pronounced it wrong"

[@c.c.prasad9210]

+Chris Campa Yeah pretty much. If you gave these people a sack of gold they would complain about the weight of it. Someone should give them some cheese.... to go with that whine.

[@jaehyunho]

+Jabs McTooFresh If they asked for whine tell them to talk to bacchus.

[@chopper394]

1:24 boi he dabbin? 💯💯😂👌🔥🔥💣

[@awsome569]

+Momonosuke boi did it

[@animation308]

Momonosuke dab on them haters

[@userfc3810]

Go forth, demons!

[@futureventure28]

Did you get nerfed,cause when I use his ult he doesn't heal allies.

[@Al77343]

yup nerfed alright no heal only immune to slows. his 2 heals less I believe demon bag gives less protections as well I think

[@futureventure28]

so hes was more fun to play before the nerf nation attacked...

[@Al77343]

Future Venture nah he was op although he did get nerfed a little too hard imo

[@bodgeer]

This is my favourite god in SMITE !! thank you for bringing Zhong Kui to the game

[@Bosneanu]

So awesome, this game becomes better and better as time passes by ^^ Great job HiRez

[@BananaMike780]

Why do they call him "the demon queller" when his actual title in mythology was way cooler? "The King of Ghosts"

[@anusarson6582]

demon queller reference his shlong

[@bando2995]

@@anusarson6582 💀

[@jeremyahesteban3394]

Because in Chinese Mythology, Ghost as often seen as demons, hence Demon Queller. Plus, there were some references in Zhong Kui using demons rather than ghost.

[@lightenpath6997]

He is also known as The Demon Hunter in Chinese Mythology and People

[@Sivarius]

looks like dong zhuo

[@FreeStyleBoy50]

The chinese smite theme is amazing!

[@Slothgreedenvy]

XD 0:50 Love the noogie he gives the evil soul.

[@Benno737]

I LOVE THE PAINT BRUSH ITS SUCH A COOL ART :)

[@TheRedname]

Oh god no, not the paintbrush, *ANYTHING BUT THE PAINTBRUSH!*

[@harrisonnewton9569]

I LOVE this music.

[@calforrai]

I don't play this game but it's nice seeing these mythical characters from childhood stories being featured.

[@z13131313]

Best animations ever :D Hi Rez is really good at character design!

[@magoichi75]

So basically Dong Zhou picked up a paint brush and a demon bag then?

[@jimmyle7328]

Zhong Kui,The Guy With The Magical Paintbrush

[@HappyGhetto]

He does quite a lot of damage with his ultimate and third ability and has good sustain. He looks like a good god.

[@BreadMan434]

Absolutely love the ending where he's just so pissed off he's beating all of the souls in his demon bag, and one fails at trying to escape

[@imStoormz]

Zhong for Splatoon DLC.

[@Naruava]

He is EPIC! :D

[@aaronbotizan7405]

One man killing machine

[@mftylord]

that ult loots amazing in team fights

[@H2sGhost]

Have they given an estimate as to when the release will be? I personally like it being in a beta just because more content can be added and removed more quickly.

[@MitchieDBBC]

"You're Welcome!" "Bye!" "HAHAHAHA!" lol that Zues

[@Sandokan4]

Shouldn't it be pronounced "Zhong kuei" ?

[@ThatBadGamer721]

Yep

[@DavornUrynmar]

+Khan She said John kuwi

[@infamous_sheep]

+Khan It's pronounced ZHONG KUINA

[@wirtspegleg6305]

+Khan New drinking game, take shot every time Zhong Kui is pronounced incorrectly.

[@shedontknowbutsheknows6225]

It pronounces like Jong Khui

[@ProgrQWow]

it keeps getting better!!

[@TareOm]

Totaly agree, was waiting for a new phys tank aswell, but wasnt expecting a guan remake :( AND especially for a ult remake.

[@TheKirbylore]

Zhong Kui is SO under powered

[@themysteryalien12]

Yea I use him a lot and he's not underpowered note use the god right.

[@TheKirbylore]

Sam Martino I don't play him often, but when I do, he sucks and I watch others do it too and he is still too weak, the only useful thing is his ult and that's only for last hitting

[@themysteryalien12]

Kirbylore Melon Man dude I just can't say hes bad I mean hes not very tough and his ult is good for last hitting got him to mastery 5 so its hard for me to say hes bad.

[@TheKirbylore]

I just think he is underpowered compared to other gods

[@junvii5207]

Kirbylore Melon i see him usually going solo tanky and he is quite good altough the soul gathering for the ult is somewhat tedious XD and getting a full bag during teamfights is hard

[@quinnfletcher3906]

Will the Chinese king of Hell ever show up, what about the Devil in Christian lore. I know people are anxious to see Jesus but are worried his appearance would offend people but Christian lore is filled with all kinds of characters that would make excellent additions to Smite.

[@A1phaz0ne]

I don't see why Christians are so sensitive about their religion lol. Don't think I've seen a religion as sensitive as them.

[@MegaNikos44]

A1phaz0ne moslims are even more sensitive

[@Maririsan]

aye i'm a christian and i agree, i need jesus in smite but

[@Maririsan]

most people will probably get offended

[@quinnfletcher3906]

marvbasbas68 Remember the fuss that indian goddess caused!

[@Balue232]

yay been waiting for this

[@nrg6245]

Remember when this came out god he is still So op 7 years later.

[@chrisa.2323]

john qui

[@bloodcottoncandy1514]

I find it weird that they only chose one of the three legndary warrirs and not Lui Bei. Sure Guan Yu is pretty awesome but he's hardly as famous as Lui Bei.

[@Cookiesdiefrombehind]

Johnny Jacobsen Smite is about gods, my friend. Guan Yu is the only one who ascended to the Heavenly Palace to hold an office as the God of War.

[@bloodcottoncandy1514]

Alexander Salt How many of them would have? China and their ascension is like England and their knighting of people. Not uncommon for anyone or anything to ascend.

[@Cookiesdiefrombehind]

Johnny Jacobsen You're right. But ascension often only means you get to be a Xian (saint). Guan Yu went above and beyond when he was appointed God of War.

[@bloodcottoncandy1514]

Meh. There are gods a dozen and there may have been one before Guan yu. Wonder when they'll introduce Japanese gods.

[@Cookiesdiefrombehind]

Johnny Jacobsen That's not your original point though, you were wondering why didn't put more legendary warriors in. Liu Bei never ascended, let alone be appointed a god. Sure there are gods a dozen, but Guan Yu is not some unknown god they pulled out of their ass. He's present in hundreds if not thousands of temples. Both the Hong Kong police force and mafia worship him like no other. I doubt more people worship the likes of Erlang Shen or Tuota Tianwang. Besides, many of the other Gods find their origin in Indian mythology and would not really qualify as Chinese Gods.

[@MechaKoops]

I came up with Vayu, the lord of wind. I would be happy to share it with you. I made up abilities, and i am currently trying to balance scaling.

[@markojelisavac5094]

This is gonna be a awesome patch :D

[@bumi9801]

Give him a new skin

[@staszeksraka4799]

this comment is kinda "fresh" i want to say that now, with this old ult that was healing also he could be a ss

[@InfernoProj]

i cringe HARD every time she pronounces it "zhAHng kwEE"

[@kingaaron217]

Between John Kwee, Guan You, and Hee Bow... It's destroying my childhood... I couldn't even finish this video >.>

[@ScarletXSmite]

Sun Wukong will be the next yes, but Mercury and Thanatos just go add in the data of the game, this means before the game leaves the beta they both will be on the game.

[@theklant340]

lmfao subtitles xD

[@ben7000]

"Dealing damage as they leave the party"

[@averagejoe6617]

I never see anyone use this guy. Sucks

[@GeorgeRadu95]

+Marvel fan Yep, poor guy :)) he is least played as the statistics say :(

[@pigdino7273]

But hes burst ia op

[@GeorgeRadu95]

Saderich The Rich Dunno, seen it on a ''top smite facts'' or sth :-?

[@miguelmills1293]

he's my favorite mage I use him all the time

[@miguelmills1293]

R3pherade 007​ Yup I always go for attack speed when I use him

[@OctimanProduction]

are you guys gonna make a new vid for Guan Yu?

[@H2sGhost]

He means that the data for them is already in the game. Most of us already knew that Wu Kong is coming back soon, he was just talking about new gods further on.

[@Elfitineplz]

It's the accurate pronunciation. There is a 'ng' sound at the end so it isn't quite John. :)

[@MechaKoops]

Sort of in the reveal, but did you see the fights? His Book of demons hit for 410 at level 15, and his ultimate did a total of 680. I do think his one should have a cripple, just to aid his somewhat low damage kit, or have more damage to his abilities. I think he will be used as a support mage if not changed, but I like him.

[@TheRookie121]

A question, how do you optain gems?! There are a few alt skins that i would like to buy for some gods.

[@Naterion]

ever seen Okami? the paint brush or the arts are a very powerful weapon. a picture can say a thousand words, a lamp can shine a light and u can beat ppl with it lol like a stick on fire

[@confuddledhint]

6:48 "Where you think you're going?!"

[@kastlexcore]

It was stated that Sun Wukong would come out a month from this update.

[@grimeychaos53]

And his name was John Quee

[@ZFRO4]

Fenrir and Freya look awesome imo

[@ScarletXSmite]

Guys, the people on reddit just did the datamining of this patch, next gods Mercury(Hermes) and Thanatos. :3

[@Mr357]

I like this guy. He's both a good jungler and teamfighter.

[@chrizzay1]

I've been researching this game for abit, and while it looks good why are all the gods abilities so similar? The only ones that generally is different is the ultimate.

[@Sepheroth2256]

the problem is a lot of gods that could possible be added to the game share the same god roles such as god of war and such so technically giving them names like lawgiver and such adds more uniqueness to the character than adding like greek god of war, chinese god of war and egyptian god of war

[@TheTomatoShark]

cuz they want to see if they will need it or not, plus creating the gols skin itsef probably takes awhile

[@FriendlyFeederFish]

I don't mean in the lane phase, I mean in actual fights. and his 3 is his only hard cc, for example, if you are fighting a nezha or loki or baka or something, they will cut through you like butter, but if you can launch em into the air then you are given an opportunity to nuke them down.

[@the2armedman]

His paintbrush reminds me of Super Mario Sunshine.

[@Gration_]

i re-read and is still says you want everything to be all about gods, shall you take another look?

[@papaijoelgames]

Realy, he is the most balanced god i have seen, awesome work hi-rez.

[@hk78901]

He is in fact very strong, especially in team fights

[@TheEpicmew]

On the smite wiki mercury as a replacement picture for now of Freddy Mercury!!!

[@HuffDaddyYT]

octoberrrr reaaadddddd upp on itttt

[@TexasKing100]

Guan yus voice pack sounds almost excactly like the default one

[@Prophecy126]

Hey i just saw that Guan Yu's new 4th basic attack doesn't affect the Phoenix, so he gets no damage at all (it's like an wasted basic attack). Is that normal?

[@toldosaurusrex]

I think it was. This fits his lore better.

[@Sarokuthix]

AWESOME. GOLDEN FENRIR. Sweet, I can finally get it. But, tomorrow. That's when I'll get it.

[@supersweetdude2012]

In the description of the ability it says that.

[@2697Miguel]

Niiiice I want Thanatos almost as much as Nyx or Camazotz.

[@Link12bb1]

he was a tank Support before, but everyone built him as a bruiser cuz he had good damage, a heal, and high def.

[@zellorz]

Hey fellas, you forgot to edit the last sentence, where it says "Tyr, The Lawgiver" instead of Zhong Kui, the Demon Queller!

[@DamienTepps]

Anyone know if his tome can apply on hit effects? Also, how do you calculate mage AA?

[@jasonblake49]

Yes! Why haven't I thought of this?

[@ryanfgh5]

Sick hero lad

[@stephaniebiscuit805]

He's awesome even in his losing screen

[@sentrygunz]

and i'm still sitting here waiting for that golden hades skin

[@InkubusGames]

Guan Yu will be defacto first bruiser I really going to enjoy playing. I am more into mages but new Guan Yu is simply awesome.

[@skaterkid43]

the new god looks fun and the music in this video was awesome, but that golden fenrir is too gold imo

[@geebeepman]

its a good change imo because he doesn't look like a tank, he's more of a bruiser or pseudo-tank.

[@R4kuna]

I would say we need more bruisers, yes there is now guan yu but that only makes 4 bruiser, (not counting bruiser-assassin and bruiser-tank).

[@Prophecy126]

Well in his Ability reveal the abilitys seem pretty underpowered, but it's on purpose. The Enemy who get the abilitys recieved takes only little damage, but when you look at the fighting scenarios, he does some decent damage.

[@decburger1]

sooo... guan yu's ultimate lets him ride a horse like a badass, sounds amazing!

[@bogalizard]

Cool god. One question, why does he use a paintbrush?

[@PepsiCompanyOfficial]

But the text in the left corner says THET Antuzki never said that she SAID so, smarty

[@rash0o0o0d]

Guys, Guan Yu Is not a tank anymore, she said he's reborn as a physical melee bruiser

[@TheStalker5050]

Man,I miss the item build in this reveals

[@sladikk]

If that was so, then the original gods when Closed Beta came out a year ago would mostly be in the top 20 or so. But the only "original" gods in the top 20 are Agni, Anubis, Ao, Guan, He Bo, Hades, Odin, Ra, Sobek, and Ymir. So 10/20 of the gods in the top 20 are the originals. Neither of us know the algorithm, but it's definitely not the total matches played in Smite history.

[@TheNecromann]

This god looks really cool.

[@TyronMakeka]

The king of hell? oooh I hope he gets added aswell. Amazing job on this God. This game is a nerd dream come true I thank thee.

[@dyhas5776]

Where did he go and patch ???

[@Mystrym]

>:D I had been patiently waiting all morning ^_^

[@Trekdar]

No because he is basically the same as before just his ult changed and Looks alot different and better

[@MooGoesCow]

Just about to go to sleep and I see this :)

[@MrHypnosiz]

He means that they should add gold skins for each new god as soon as they are added rather than waiting for however long

[@pojo398]

Zhong Qui NEEDS more skins. I play him sooo often, but he only has two non recolor skins and it's depressing.

[@BananaMike780]

three years later and they've given him like one new skin :(

[@BananaMike780]

three years later and they've given him like one new skin :(

[@GuyVolk]

His passive could be that on death he auto resurrects after 3 seconds

[@dommychi]

guan yu's voice pack sounds the same as the default

[@smitegame]

Fixed. Thanks!

[@monkeyDdragon164]

OK no problem

[@RuinFanboy]

I know this doesn't seem like it would make sense but I want somewhat of a magical bruiser, and this guy doesn't seem like he has the damage output to be a mage
