[@poopsiepop4179]

I hate how they make him into some sort of evil being. His death is gentle and moat welcomed.

[@Darkness-uf2hr]

He’s not evil Just doing his thing

[@titanium0002]

thank you he is kind and gentle and is painless in his reapings. ALL EMBRACE THE DARKNESS FOR THE COLD CLUTCHES IS WHAT WILL PROTECT YOU IN THE END.

[@vaiyt]

Thanatos has never been evil per see but was portrayed as dour, grim and pitiless.

[@d4peters86]

Thanatos has got to be the most badass designed assassin. He looks absolutely amazing

[@shangovi4167]

Just going to put it out there that Thanatos is the son of Nyx/Nox and brother to Nemesis.

[@NinjaDinosaur321]

+BewareTheBatWing Isn't he also the brother of Hypnos?

[@shangovi4167]

Yep and to others

[@puregothard6891]

+BewareTheBatWing they are basically all brothers it's impossible to tell lol

[@TheGarchompxd]

Not is. A Roman god Thanatos is a Greek god am I the only one that realized that

[@dhaughnee4662]

You do realize that Nyx is the greek version of Nox right?

[@AlejandroGonzalez-so8re]

"Can a God truly die?" When you play with scrubs. Yes. They die a lot.

[@hexvitaminddeficiency9690]

Al Wintour they should really add a level system so noobs fight other noobs.

[@rampage75_25]

Kratos....

[@ugoste]

actualy he is a death, not hand of death....

[@Dracomut]

Hand of Death sounds cooler

[@00110000]

Okay guys, take a drink every time you hear the word "death". Be sure to have your local hospital on speed dial.

[@Cbev1994]

fun fact, this guy was also one of the inspirations for "thanos" of marvel comics

[@superkostlegend6592]

+Khalifa Al lol dude, thanatos is the god of death in greek mythology which is like 1500 B.C

[@Cbev1994]

Khalifa Al there are so many things wrong with your statement lol have all the seats

[@superkostlegend6592]

ye i dont know what he is trying to say thanos simply exists for like some decades, when thanatos is the greek god of death in ancient greek mythology. Thanatos(θανατος) means death in greek.

[@lancejedrickmaniquiz7547]

Well let's not start a war They both different person they're name must have been sounds like the same but they are different person I don't see Thanos as death so...

[@andreyv.vieira521]

Well, considering the name, this makes lot of sense.

[@blackshodon2349]

Thanotoast hand of toast Inevitably, all toast must be eaten They cling to life with fevered desperation, for death is a cold unknown, filled with uncertainty and bleak no toast would go to into the mouth of a mortal willingly Thanatoast hungers for toast a war between mortals about who ate the last toast thanotoast will be very busy

[@putinsympathizer3331]

This...would be a great skin

[@steliosdo]

[@tree8365]

[@epicman13ful]

I immediately recognized the voice actor of Vamana, Todd Haberkorn as Death the Kidd from Soul Eater english dub.

[@christiandamsgaard5007]

+Anduin Wrynn and ling from full metal alchemist brotherhood english dub

[@SauceyNoodle]

Vamana has the same voice actor as natsu dragneel

[@Spunoholic]

why does smite make thanatos out to be a killer, he is the gentler of the 2 gods of death, keres his sister(s) was the death driven 1 of the 2, she waited above battles/wars where thanatos waited for natural causes in death

[@gilgameshthetreasurehunter2750]

Cool story

[@justinterry8894]

Isn't his most well known story the one where a mortal chained him and the only reason it was discovered was because Aries was salty no one was dying on the Battlefield.

[@soul2squeezy439]

i didnt know thanatos' mother is nox (nyx) and he also has a sister named nemesis! :D

[@medicalshadow6331]

And I didn't know a Greek god could have a roman goddess as his mother lmao

[@dhaughnee4662]

Once again Nyx is the greek version of Nox

[@soul2squeezy439]

[@xBringtheHEATx]

Can we just talk about how freaking awesome this god looks?! I think I should leave work early today to go home and play

[@xXxTheSorrowxXx]

I have to say that the creativity on Champion design (looks and abilities) are very unique here, other games are missing that. Good job.

[@dxdlooker]

[@Relhio]

That would be awesome :D

[@TheDarkFlameHero]

[@RegretForNothing]

Jesus, The defiler of Death Passive:(The all loving Martyr) Each time Jesus dies,heals nearby allies for 12% of Jesus maximum health.Additionally each time a nearby ally/enemy champion dies,add 1 Holy tear.(cap 6) Q:Feet washing Removes any slow/snare effect from nearby allied champions and additionally grants a major speed boost for 4 seconds that decays over time. W:Water to whine Targeted ally takes less damage and deals more damage for 3 seconds.After effect ends,stuns them for 1 second.If cast on enemy champion lowers their movement and attack speed for 2 seconds and reduces their life steal effect to half for 4 seconds. E:Holy savior Consumes all your Holy tears and 10%/20%/30%/40%/50%/60% of your current Health(depending on Holy tears consumed) to make targeted allied champion immune to crowd control and damage for seconds(min:1.5 seconds) equal to half of the Holy tears consumed.If there are no Holy tears to be consumed,heals targeted ally for 4% of your maximum Health. R:Summon Archangels Summons Gabriel,Raphael,Michael for 5 seconds.Archangels have 40% of Jesus's stats,have a lifesteal effect and are immune to crowd control.Allies nearby them,get a lifesteal/spellvamp/cooldown reduction aura.If Jesus or the archangels kill an enemy champion the effect prolongs by 0.7 seconds.If an Archangel dies,stun Jesus for 0.7 seconds.His Father is angry. I should be in Champion development.

[@xennoxatron6727]

[@camofan123]

Also lets mention that thanatos hurts himself every time he uses an ability so if you dodge his ability's he will be punished

[@sebastianvaladez2796]

[@Sewedir]

+The Skraxx so he doesn't get long with Nu Wa also, it seems.

[@OverlyMediocreGaming]

Really solid god. His ult can be amazing and annoying depending on which side of it you are on. He definitely strives when fed early. Having chang'e as a back of with him only makes his fear of death (for he is a squishy one) obsolete

[@nikolapetrovic9770]

xa3D What ???

[@spiritburner21]

Nikola Petrovic Hes saying that Zeus is OP as well

[@nikolapetrovic9770]

Oh Zeus Isnt op for me he has well balanced powers But thats my opinion

[@nikolapetrovic9770]

everyone has there opinions to me thanatos and nu wa are really op but ti the rest that are pros at the game or something else have different opinions

[@ericmcintyre2446]

This guy is awesome

[@Pepitobenito]

Good choice of god, and his model is ridiculously well detailed. However I'd definitely love to see more beast-like gods like Fenrir and Ao Kuang. Jormungand and Cerberus being at the top of my list, though they might appear a bit too similar to the former two.

[@imurdadlol]

Lol

[@mahewweeks9207]

Awesome video u rock and its awesome game I love it

[@lunarascpect]

Fan fact; Thanatos in Greek means death

[@ainsleyharriot6060]

Flav1a Gr he is death itself after all

[@amirsalehabadi7243]

Poor guy is stuck in D tier like all the other cool dark characters of smite

[@amirsalehabadi7243]

Eric Garcia his arena is not usefull since other characters do it way better he is basicly very low reward if your ahead and very bad if your behind additionally he does need a full kit change in order to actually work

[@oziferd7138]

+Amir Salehabadi he is actually really good I almost got two Pentas but the fifth ran away

[@amirsalehabadi7243]

+Oziferd lol power lot removed he has been resurrected

[@oziferd7138]

+Amir Salehabadi oh yeah on console haven't gotten that yet

[@thegamingfan2548]

my friend has him diamond, he's pretty dn op in his hands

[@SamSGLM]

in the early lvls, the threshold for thanatos ult, would have the same results for lets say hebo ult, later on ofc you will insta kill from more hp, but from that point a hebo will also deal crushing dmg and have reaver at that point. Thanatos 1st skill is the only one that does dmg based on hp and its not that spamable

[@gdybykozkakwiecienplecient2567]

Thanatos - hand of the beeing most OP god in the game.

[@alexisdenevriskaname2155]

Smite is gonna ignite lol :D

[@RookieN08]

How the hell do you counter Thanatos and Fenrir? I can never kill them when they have critical chance hit build!!! lol

[@TrieuNguyen-tn2bx]

Stuns...everywhere...

[@TheThebestgame4]

you need stuns for kill him

[@harrisonnewton9569]

Wait and wait and wait until the 25 minute mark where they just fall off and slap themselves with their wasted damage

[@ZKSTLKDESU]

How, to beat fenrir or thanatos easy, pick a mage that can heal, give them boosted CD, along with the boost to cc reduction and give them the crit resist gear they put up for magic users. So for me, I pick hel, hit heal to run away and hit her change stance ability then use her damage aoe after using her enemy protection reduction on them and watch them run from me, it works, a good amount of the time to atleast survive

[@Terminate1783]

Just dodge thanas 1

[@Antroz0197]

Actually it does. I understand that it's percentage based but I'd rather have some form of survivability in battle. If a gank goes bad or I get ambushed, rather than have no health to go off of if I use an ability I still have enough to live. Plus the health regen is really nice.

[@SupeRNovAinAcup]

his ult for flying away, and his run speed skill along with that

[@mortem4342]

so I started playing Smite yesterday and I don't know whether it is the fact that I'm a noob or something else but the enemy Thanatos killed me at least 7 times and even when he was on low health and I was at a reasonable amount, Thanatos practically made me his bitch. I was playing as Hades if that helps.

[@TheSeventySin7]

Thanatos is a really powerful god early game, especially for noob, so you should try him yourself, you are going to love him, also try loki.

[@mortem4342]

Alright thank you for the advice guys. It really helped!

[@davidtiller7637]

Black Wolf Gaming Gaming Don't do Loki whatever you do, when you like him you will have no skill whatsoever and you will be known as 'that guy'. My advice master gods that are good and sort of hard and get the full experience of this game.

[@TheSeventySin7]

David Valentine I have Mastery 3 as Loki. And 10 at Thor and Ravana. Don't call me a noob, Loki is in the game to be used, you liking or not, also, he is good for new players, that is why I advised him to play Loki, because noobs don't know how to counter him. I don't know why so hate over Loki, must be because you are noob and don't know how to counter him, and also I mostrly play Warriors and Guardians, so Loki is no problem to me.

[@TheSeventySin7]

David Valentine Ok.

[@vincentphan3914]

huh, never knew i was in it :/

[@Creepjacker]

Kind of new to smite, how often are gods added and does Smite still have a decently large player base?

[@TheSunlower]

This guy needs a BIG NERF

[@XfurdawingpigxXx]

no he doesn't. If he gets fed early game you're fucked. It takes huge skill to play him, because timing and skill shots are hard to land. But if someone knows how to play him, yea he's really *fucking good*. But same with every other god

[@dnbazzxx3620]

i think he does not let me explain that: if u want to play this god u need to play the game much, and also gedding to know ur god is very importand to. i've played him by myself and it was damn hard to now the god. after a while i start knowing the god it playes way better. so my point is u need to be very experienced to play the god. english not that good :p.

[@charlesrosentrater1318]

He doesn't need a nerf. He is the definition of risk-reward. Since he is the squishiest god in the game behind Serqet, he is difficult without the tendency of all his abilities to use health as well as mana. So it gives him a smaller threshold on which he can use his 2 or 4 as escapes, makes his abilities screw him over if not used properly, and there are other assassins that do more damage with their AAs. Thanatos is the definition of an early-mid game god. He has great early-game scaling, and his mana costs are so low that he can outjungle everyone. Sadly, lategame he falls off due to poor scaling on his 3, turning it into nothing but a silence, and his 1 is very hard to land. In lategame, he becomes a tankbuster, his 1 deals damage based on the targets health, his 2 provides movespeed and penetration, and his 4 is the best dunk in the game for attacking low-health enemies, since it ignores all protections as long as your target is below the threshold, dealing 9999 true damage instantly. Good strategies to counter him would be to ward the map, focus him in teamfights and by god whatever you do, don't let him catch you alone. Examples of what happens when he gets you alone: Earlier today I fought in a conquest match as a rank III Thanatos jungle. The enemy solo tried to push our tower, but I ulted right on top of him. I then proceeded to attack him, but he shoved his ult up my ass (this is a rank X Kukulkan) and run away. I then proceeded to chase him, but he combat-blinked behind me (idiot move) and I killed him with a well timed "HELL AWAITS YOU" from my Death Scythe. If he is about to ult you, don't run in a straight line ahead of you. Try to zig-zag, or if you know where he is coming from, run under him, since it's harder to hit a target moving towards you than moving away from you.

[@hermanwalle3718]

The Grim Reaper is more based off Thanatos but in his role as the "Grim Reaper" he was ordered to do something so he was called by that name you can call Thanatos Grim Reaper but if you mean Grim reaper as in the Grim reaper then no Thanatos and the Grim Reaper have different associations.
