They really need to add one more room on the training so you can test stat debuffs, healing reduction, slows, and cripples and dots. Now speaking of the god....I really need to play Arthur when I have a more stable internet. I assume lag can be more frustrating to play an action game based god with such delays and dashes [knowing lag + dashes is really obnoxious cause you teleport all over the place, visually for the player that lags]

If we're talking about our noob days, well I used to play AMC in the solo lane (without understanding the role) and build pre-buffed Golden Bow, Devourer's Gauntlets, Odysseus Bow and Stone of Gaia.. I was literally a wave clear bot who never left my lane. I always thought that getting towers first meant I was doing great.

That Ra near the end, holy shit. Poor dude was so disappointed in your initiation he just finished it himself.

Duke are his animations complete? I was only able to play him when they first released him on PTS and at that time animations were a bit off.

[@DukeSloth]

[@dNVoltz]

Damn right, now get breaded XD jk lol

[@droid913]

It looked like the shred did the slightest bit more on the second hit, and it said 23 mitigated compared to 25 on the first hit. Not sure how substantial that is tho?

[@SuperSonicBlur]

The 2 not being crossed out feels really lazy and lacking the proper visual showing. If Ullr has the option to use Hail of Arrows but not Glory Bound then King Arthur should be the same for his 2. This irritates me more than it should >:(

[@Misogiii]

SuperSonicBlur well in Ullr’s case he has an actual dedicated switch stance button being his ult. The stance switch for Arthur is much more complicated and is probably leagues harder to code than a swap stance button. Also it’s still on pts, maybe they will update it on live or later on.

[@aresop8701]

Smite needs tons of refinement, unfortunately. There's so many things that they could be doing for their game, visually, besides the skins and all that.

[@SuperSonicBlur]

@@Misogiii I figured that would be the cause but even then it needs to be put in properly. There is no reason to simply not implement something because it's done differently to something similar ;-;

[@GodofDisco]

What do you guys think of not building boots on him since he uses dashes for mobility that are unnafected by movement speed? I think its a great strat in duel, but what about conquest?

[@chaotic3962]

God of Disco would be bad at rotating. Slow movement speed and when you get there you wont have your full kit

[@DukeSloth]

@@chaotic3962 That plus you'd be burning way too much mana early

[@Exploso]

2:20 this information it's wrong. If you starts the ult out of the cripple area (at least in case of Artio's skill) when you go inside the cripple area your ult is immediately canceled. And yes, I think this is a bug.

[@pyranna2003]

Arthur is all over the place when it comes to his interactions. His 3 combo being cancelled by a cripple when it's neither a dash or a leap is weird, while his ult (in blue stance) which *is* a dash and has no CC immunity is not effected. Then his item interactions, oh boy.. what an inconsistant mess. I hope they give him some tweaks to make him more consistant with the established rules for CC and item interactions before they attempt to balance him. Still looks like a very fun and unique god, just a few glaring oversights.

[@Dashierez]

Point of note - he doesn't have a blue stance ult. His ult doesn't change by his stance, it only changes what he does when you use it based on his combo meter. If you have full energy, then he will do the banish ult regardless of which stance you are in, and if you only have over 35, he will do the stun.

[@pyranna2003]

@Dashdragon His ult does depend on stance, blue stance ult (Sundering Strike) just uses less of his energy than red stance ult (Excalibur's wrath)

[@Dashierez]

@@pyranna2003 No, it doesn't. He will do whichever ult he meets the energy requirements for regardless of what stance you use it from. Note at 4:09, Duke is in blue stance, but he has Excalibur's Wrath's icon in his ult slot and it is indeed the ult that Arthur performs a moment later, while still in blue stance. Then at other times when he only has just over the min 35, he has the Sundering Strike icon regardless of which stance he is in. The only thing that determines it is how much energy you have and you can't pick to do Sundering if you have enough for Exalibur's unless there's been some change since both when I was last playing on PTS as him and when Duke made the gameplay for this video.

[@dennis___1181]

During his dash a knock up will stop him:/ a lot of his abilities can get stopped which really suck but thanks for the video super informative

Hard gods are fun too. I used to stay away from playing Ullr and Susanoo but once I played them I had a lot of fun. I'm saying this as a main Chang'e scrub. Also, King Arthur is pretty easy, just spam your abilities, no need to combo them well if you don't want to.

Hi Duke, don't you think, certain things you explained about Arthur, especially the dash and basic attack is actually bad programming? I mean I'm not shitting on the game, but most of the things are "maybe? RNG" type. He's just Tyr, chuculainn(spin) and nezha(ult) mixed together.

[@hannabal96]

Yeah, and cu chu is a mix between a generic line ability (1), mystical mail (2), generic leap (3), old wukong 2 (ult) and his passive is fafnir's ult. Every god is a mix of something, you can't make up things forever, it's not like because some abilities look similar then the god is not unique
