Who else stopped playing Smite but keeps watching these videos?
I use to....but not anymore
ozzomega same
Aye
Bruh I've not played Smite in YEARSSSS and I was one of the Beta players. Watching these God reveals are entertaining.
me
No they did not run out of gods. They just want to add in legends, Kings, monsters, Demigods, etc. just play the damn game man
Edit: Thank you everyone for commenting your opinions I respect you for not being completely toxic :)
CrazyWombat idk I was ok with mythological warriors and creatures but this is a whole nother step ya know? Also they should change the name to SMITE battleground of myths and legends
I know, but it looks weird when there is a pantheon with no gods
harry G which pantheon?
DodgerRoger whatever theyre calling this so called “pantheon”
Then can we get Lu Bu in the the game?
I love the new Tyr skin
Alex JV fantastic rework ill say
They should make more skins that have their own kit
Agree this would have made for a great rework
Ricoshot88 GC they would all be banned in ranked/competitive. Lol.
Ray Nation i could definently see this being tyr lol. But maybe keep his fearless dash as the 2nd ability and the slash as the other second.
Put me in the game
No my Jesus, It would be weird slaying you.....
@@galaxyway2109 His father didn't have a problem doing that.
Special abilaty : Awaken
no one will probably pick because of long respawn time
Your respawn time would be waaaay to long.
"But, I'm already Saber" - Said Literally Every Saber in the Fate Series.
Trust me, I'm expecting a Saber skin now, Smite.
King Arthur vs King Ar-Tyr
Whose the better stance switcher combo killer
Epic rap battles of the history
King Dice And who weilds the cooler sword
I versed both in a joust game and it got confusing at points on which one was coming at you lol
Arena of Valor say " Hallo" that guay is horrible but they are not the only one and how about the price of skins
This is the closest thing to a Christian pantheon.
No, Zoroastrianism is the religion closest to Christianity
@@Joe-hi1zw King Arthur was a Christina, wasn't he ?
@@Joe-hi1zw The mytological story behind this demigod is the britain myths of cavalliers and the round table, that has been interpreted and written about by many writers through history (even Shakespeare). The issue is that this myths and histories have been interpreted with the puritan christian vision because of the attitude that the kings and cavaliers adopted to face their problems, so basically he ain't wrong haha :P
Jesus confirmed next god
@@binglebop5877his weapon is a giant cross he beats you with and passive skill resurect with a three day cooldown one of his skills can silence other gods abilities kinda like how Christians deny other religions
I would have loled so hard if the narrator was Excalibur.
"Excalibuuuur!!! ExcalibuurRrRr!!!"
Irvine Spiegel FOOL!
Ekusukaribaaaaaaa!
Someone's been watching SoulEater
@@kingtonyasura3327 °cough cough° it s from fate°cough cough°
@@dreamergamer9291 No, my dude. That kind of narration. DEFINITELY from Soul Eater. I'm serious, look it up!
That feeling when King Arthur isn’t a hot anime waifu.
He already was in Nanatsu no Taizai as a hot hunk
@@TheWarmachine375
I can't seem to find this hot hunk you speak of; all I get is pictures of some run of the mill shonen-looking bishie.
He will be a forever an anime waifu in the Fate series
When are we gonna have the God Emperor of Mankind and the Primarchs?
Fate/Prototype's Arthur is still a dude but a good looking one.
Smite has to be in my top 10 games of all time. You guys actually love what you are doing and this can be seen in game. Love this game.
anime version of Arthur in Fate/stay unlimited blade works be like *EXALIBUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUR*
Heroes always get remembered, but you know Legends never die. THAT'S why Arthurian figures.
Everytime I play him I’m gonna sing the Excalibur’s song from soul eater
EEYYYYY!!! Finally I was waiting for a Soul Eater reference xD
FOOL. Idk what he would say next but lol
Fool!
Are you also going to build soul eater on him?
Lye yes yes I will
Guan Yu, Hercules, Medusa and Arachne arent Gods either, so all you people complaining about "Running Out of Gods" need to either admit you've unintentionally been ok with non-gods this whole time or shut up.
Kaz Avian
Technically, both Guan Yu and Hercules were deified as gods.
Hercules became a god dipshit
You're intentionally being obtuse trying to prove a point, given your bad comparison. Guan Yu is a god attested in the chinese folklore and the other 3, while not being gods, are deities which people have venerated at a certain point in time. Arthur is a "super star" at best for english literature, and under no circumstance has anything to do with any pantheon. Next thing you know, Chupacabra and Loch Ness' monster will be added to the game, since they are urban legends
There is a difference between myths/legends these characters dont even have a pantheon realy
At least, all the stuff you mentioned belongs to some pantheons with GODS. What kind of gods exist on Arthurian pantheon?
Big sword, big armour, spin to win, I garentee you I find this familiar.
yes but let's not forget that one looks good and the other doesn't
@Siper CAMELOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT
King Arthur is my number 1 favorite waifu!
Im not sure, if "Wifu" is a typo for "Waifu" or "Wifi". Makes both sense tbh
ReshiKyo I spelled waifu wrong sorry about that.
I thought husbando?
Saber 😂 haha hope they make a female skin for arthur
Profile picture checks out
I'd like to see HP lovecraft gods in smite.
They're in the skins
@@alejandrogarcia7938 so was Arthur to be fair
To throw the game away, now they can put everything... Hope cinderella coming soon in the fairytale pantheon
@@Joe-hi1zw I feel like the Lovecraft Mythos deserves it. They will be a fine addition in my eyes.
@@ethanhall9376 I imagine someone out there believes in them. To be fair, all gods in smite are made up fiction so there isn't much of a difference. Doesn't matter where the source material comes from.
Might as well partener with Type-Moon and bring Gilgamesh to the game. Would literally be the most overpowered god.
ahem
Yo
This comment aged well
When are they doing Gilgamesh?
Better be a sword spamming hunter/mage. Imagine a chain of heavens combo with a Enuma elish ult? That would be cool!
this turned into fate stay night real quick
@@PieGang fate grand order is life
@@lancelot5667 that's the anime version, weeb. The mythological Gil was more of a brawler with superhuman strength.
Gilgamesh: Master of all weapons
this is probably the best hero u have created... from looks to animations, kit, gameplay, fun... damn straight 10/10
Fate/Stay Night skin when?
Never
Yes please. Give me Proto Arthur.
If they add Mordred I also want a skin for that
I thought Arthur was a female teenager...
Fate has many kinds of Arthur. Im talking about is Proto Arthur who is a dude and was part of the original concept (hence proto for prototype) before switching the story and characters. Artoria is the name of the female Arthur that is the face of the current fate franchise. Theres also Saber Lily who is the younger version of Artoria, Saber Alter who is a version of Artoria that is corrupted by the holy grail, there is also Lancer Artoria who is an older version of Artoria that is using the lance Rongomyniad and not Excalibur and also an Lancer Alter thats an altered version of Lancer Artoria similar to Saber Alter.
Where the hell is 100% Excalibur charge!!!!
Where is my gigantic laser beam shooting from EXCALIBURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
Finally another warrior
Tony2great
Probably more to come from the round table too likely.
Ashra __ perhaps, but they are numerically the least of the gods. Outnumbered by every other kind of god.
@@ashra8281 You mean mages, right
@@ashra8281 We had Baron, a mage. Then we got Pele. Right after her was Hera, another mage. After Arthur is yet ANOTHER mage, Merlin. You can see why I'd be confused by your comment here lol
Arhur!? In smite?! Good lord it's been a while since I last played... Might have to play again
piplup229 dont you will be disappointed
@@NoxMox if ur playing, yeah
Don't get your hopes up. He's basically Garen.

Ah yes Arthur, wielder of excalibur -mERLIN'S TWINK-
How about fix party invite?
Alex Stone damn it that bugs
Or the bug that cause a problem with chat where we can't write.
or lag, screen frozes, DC's etc.
@@alexaxy3328 or fix their whole game lol
right, because the team that works in God development is the same team that fixes bugs. very smart.
I see Arthur’s kit and it just reminds me of cloud from ff7. His abilities and play style match perfectly. Excalibur’s Wrath is just omnislash in Smite.
Awesome!!!!!
Cant wait to play.
Also very excited to play with Merlin but more with JORMUGANDR!!!!
Yay, I'm not the only one.
YES!!! I wonder what kind of kit Jormungandr will be given. Hope we get constriction and poison as the theme, can make a nasty tank that doesn't need 8 abilities to be fun or innovative.
@@TheKing-qz9wd yeaahh. I think his ult would be great to bring more of his body from the floor and bringing big slams to the enemy or maybe inprison the target with his body on a circle and squish him.
I mostly wanna know how they gonna model him.Also his ult could be something like Fenrir's?.
They could also give him some passive that he still does some damage if he dies. I think it would be a good reference to his part in Ragnarok where he is slain by Thor who then succumbs to the serpents venom after taking 9 steps.
I think his passive should be called Knights of the round table
when athur is in the present of teammates he should receive physical protection (can stack) when he is alone he receives magical protection
That's most likely a passive for Sir Lancelot.
@@humangirl2122 Bring in Lancelot, then bring in Guinevere in some way.
When are we gonna have the God Emperor of Mankind and the Primarchs?
I love these kinds of mechanically unique characters in games.
Also, I’d advise ability based items for his majesty. Soul eater, crusher, and gladiator shield together seem good. His ability spam is great for soul eaters life steal, crusher gets activated very often, and the king here is rather manna hungry, especially with full cooldown, so use gladiator shield to see your mana paid back mid fight, plus the health gained helps too.
Can we talk about the way the horse in the lore walks? 0:43
GREAT ÆTHER!!! As an Ike and Cloud main i love his ult
So when's the Arthuria skin coming out?
SOON
He might reference it in his joke lines.
Hopefully, never.
Saber!
EkusuKARIBAAAAAA!!!!
Full list of SMITE characters who were never considered gods or even god-like beings:
Arachne
Medusa
Scylla
Achilles
The Zhong Schlong
Da Ji
Cerberus
Ne Zha
Jing Wei
Cu Chulian (IDFK)
Cabraken
Kuzenbo
Bakasura
Fenrir, Ratatoskr, Ravana (arguable)
Did I miss anyone?
Regardless, a considerable number of the roster are not gods or god-like beings. Get over it.
On an unrelated note, now that Merlin and Arthur are being added to the game, I’m kinda wanting to maybe someday see Beowulf and Grendel here...
Edit: Most of the comments are telling me that Fenrir is most definitely a god. Nah, he doesn’t really qualify, but I put him in “arguable” for a reason.
As for the replies saying something along the lines of “At least the ones you listed come from actual mythological pantheons”, Arthur, Merlin, and the stories of Camelot most definitely qualify as myths. They were believed by many to be truth, even if the figures in them were never widely worshipped.
(To be honest, I feel as though they could have been slid into the Celtic pantheon, as the story of Arthur has its roots in Celticism (is that a word?)). Regardless, are you really going to complain about more diversity being added to the game? Complain about things that actually need to be complained about, like imbalance, bugs, and the fact that Loki and Neith have 5k skins.
But do it on the forums and in tickets. I get pissed off when all I see on every Smite video is a wall of comments complaining about bugs that are most likely something wrong with your own set-up. It’s annoying and chases off any potential new players who read them because they (incorrectly) assume that the game is a bug-plagued unplayable mess.
I also edited the list a bit based on some replies, thanks
Sun wukong isnt w god and sum morr i cant remember
cu chulian should be put in arguable because in some versions he is a incarnation of the god lugh
fenrir is a god hes the son of loki and his wife who was the mother of all monster who was a god
Lmao the characters you listed at least belong to an actual pantheon and those said pantheons have Gods
I would say Ne Zha is considered a god and Da Ji isnt
Man whipped out the moonlight greatsword
Wait, is that a League of Legends logo at 0:32?
I thought I'm the only one who saw it
They running out of icons
It is!
LoL has blue background. But yeah, I see your point.
They used Yasuo's ultimate as well so I wouldn't be surprised lol
Cool! now can you fix all the bugs please?
Just curious which platform your on
Cause i havnt had any serious issues cept the load screen freezing on me
They gotta get more people to do skins. Not fix the game dude cmon
Giant Dad Do you even play the game lol? There is so many bugs it’s insane. Also Arthur is literally probably the most broken character released so far. Not because he’s super strong, he’s literally just unplayable almost. His abilities and basics are so clunky and Doesn’t show the animations. (Well not including the Morrigan)
Look how smooth his animations are in this 😍
Never played the game but seeing that name "Arthur , wielder of excalibur" peaked my interest. Great artwork for the intro video.
Garen and Yasuo called.
THEY WANT THEIR ABILITIES BACK.
3:05
....... GETSUGA!!! TENSHO!!!!
"Eeeeeexcalibur!!!" You mean.
Lol
Aaaaand we found the weaboo.
@@acedias12 EXCALIBUR !!!!!!!
Fgo reference.
This legend makes me wanna come back to smite!
taking some inspiration for that final smash, hmm I see, it's pretty cool
Now we must see how long it takes for everyone to comment that Arthur isn't a god.
@khien now to wait to see how long that your not smart and dont know anything, oh wait not even once second and already figured that out
@@ArpTakao696 Oh no I triggered someone. Better hit him with an r/wooosh
@@LyricalVikingnope i am far from being triggered, i am just stating facts right now,
@@ArpTakao696 We've already lost him boys. /s
He could be considered as a god tho
>is warrior
>has bladestorm
:,)
This is where my time in Smite comes to an end. Long time coming but this truly was the final nail.
And why that? Arthur is a great character added to the game?
awesome cant wait till he come out
HASHIRE SORI YO
KAZE NO YOU NI

PADORU PADORU
Arthurs origin is believed to be from Celtic Mythology. Writer after writer doing their own interpretation has eventually christianized Arthur and added parts to his story. Technically the original Arthur would be a totally different person than the one we know. Though even the "modern" Arthur has elements that are not of Christian origin and would even be seen as sinful or heretical. For an example, The Morrigan or as it is known now, Morgan le Fay. The lady of the lake, you know the entity who keepsakes Excalibur.
This means that Arthur could not be part of the Celtic pantheon as this Arthur is based on the one we've grown up with. It could not be of a Christian pantheon as it has elements that are not Christian. Therefore the Arthurian Pantheon. What this means is that we could be seeing some really cool additions to the game. I mean, imagine playing MERLIN! Gooood damn. That would be awesome.
Thank you for pointing this out, he was originally a Welsh char akin to a god in fact, there were many references to him relating to the God KIng Arawn.
The thing is Arthur got hit by story nerf, when from god to the biggest baddass ever to being a king with a cool sword (damn you self insert OC Lancelot).
The music is epic during the telling of the story
Wow just got the update and I was surprised about the new god
"Ekusu-karibaaaaaa!!"
Guess we can expect Mordred and maybe even Morgause down the line, if not soon.
Next is Merlin
@@obl620 I know, I just said 'down the line, if not soon' I didn't say next.
I think aurther works I mean the sword was supposedly created by the Christan good in some versions and he did go after the Holly grail so you could argue he is a holy warrior fighting on behalf of a good much like some of the other champions so I think it works.
Since his story has him mention Avalar, I hope there are other entities from that.
Also, it would be epic if either christian or lovecraftian legends or the like were added. ...though, I'm guessing it'll take a bit of effort to design a lovecraftian god in such a way that it's a unique individual, since many are beings with multiple body parts often in an amorphous body in most artworks. Would love to see different takes on them that aren't amoeba like.
People complaining about him not being a God. Who cares? Don't like him then don't play him. There's 98 other characters you can play.
@@frootmachine5580 lol hercule??? I dont think they have the dragon ball license yet.
@@julianmorgan79 you know they mean Hercules
@@julianmorgan79 Both Guan Yu and Hercule D'Poire are worshipped as Gods.
@@frootmachine5580 🤦🏻♂️
People are complaining what the hell? There is no reason to there are many "gods" in smite who arent even gods:
Arachne, Medusa, Cerberus, Ymir, Scylla, Da ji, Ratatoskr, Fafnir and others...
I was surprised with how good that build synergizes with him. Usually in these videos I find myself using almost none of the items recommended. This build actually looks really good.
For a second there, I heard Arthur saying "Sorye Ge Ton" when doing the Excalibur Fury.
So during the final follow-up the narrator refers to arthurs alt as excaliburs wrath, but the first display showed that it was called excaliburs fury?
So Arthur is basically Yasuo from League of Legends.
Shut up and play this game
@@VietnamRetroGameBroadcast
Just making a joke, calm down. Smite looks cool though. Meh, Morgana rework came out, I ain't playing Smite.
@@regijglorigoserjkhm5868 you're difficult
In love.
I play this game on ps4 but I recently say that it’s releasing on the switch as soon as it releases this game is my addiction again
He looks Badass ! I'm Hyped !
King Midas when?
EXCALIBUR!!!!!
From the United K, I'm looking for her, im going to California!
YOU FOOL!
Dude this Garen rework looks SICK!
on a side note in case they don't mention it in the reveal all of king arthurs abilities are on quick cast at all times
Astolfo when?
so is Jesus next
There will be no Jesus.
Finally we are getting more athurian gods we’ve had Morgan for ages
Whoever did the lore script, that sounds focking epic!
Ok but can we get more asian gods like lakshmi and guanyin 💙
And tsukiyomi ofc 😋
@@shroom8511 Ooo yes Guanyin and Tsukiyomi please!
I want the gay rabbit god
Cameron Watt kwang
i want the yatogami :')
more broke than my heart
Those combos are pretty good.
I saw Mordred in that opening, does that mean the half fae traitor knight is on their radar?
Omnislash ver 7 xD
all he needs left is a Soldier 1st Class Uniform skin
I think he ment cloud from final fantasy but i could be proven wrong :/
@@SetSeth-yl6ke yep i meant Arthur's ultmate is like Cloud's Omnislash
I would just like a simple fun character man...
Yea, the switching attacks and combo stuff will be hard to master.
Welp, this god release and the next probably won't be for you, but there are plenty of easy/ fun gods for you to enjoy whilst you wait!
He's not even that hard, after you play like 3 matches with him he becomes really easy to play.
I just wish for a simples and creative character, without this bloating that has been plaguing god releases.
He is everything I wanted. I love it.
Damn I might have to re download smite just to try this guy
Please add more Japanese mythology
Anybody want to bet there's gonna be a taunt where he calls enemies "FOOLS!!!"
Drop a like if you get the joke.
I can’t wait until the real god reveal for this guy
Sounds like the voice actor for Yugi from Yu Gi Oh Abridged from back in the day XD
GAREN!!!!
And here I was hoping his ultimate would be firing a huge laser from his sword
DISSAPOINTED!
6:42 "put a point in twin cleave" but in this game King Arthur put his point in overhead slash
His ult should be: Great, ARTHUR!!

You deserve top comment for this.
Baron samedi is a God though
Kukulkan is a God
Hercules and Achilles are demigods
Hercules and thanatos are gods
I like how king arthus ultimate is Cloud's Omnislash
I actually thought of this for over a month
Arthur needs a better title. "Wielder of Excalibur?" Too generic. I prefer the title given to him in the book: "The once and future king."
For the love of god, can some1 count how many times she said "King Arthur" during this video... With all due respect, you sound like first-grader reading his homework!
Interesting enough for me to play Smite once again
04:48 Excalibur's Fury - This how Arthur's ultimate is called, at least the strong version.
But then at 06:04 we can hear the narrator say "Excalibur's Wrath" while showing the combo. Then we can hear "Excalibur's Wrath" again at 06:10, in the same segment.
Interesting, ain't it?
Give us saber skin
"Arthur is not a god and is not part of mythology!"
1) not being a god is not a valid argument, simply because there's non gods in the game already (Da Ji, Arachne, Rat, etc)
2) He has many connections to the Celtic mythology, heck in some versions Morgana is basically the same person of The Morrigan (a celtic goddess)
3) Guan Yu may be a deity, but his lore is more history and literature than actual mythology.
Da Ji, same...she was not even deified, but her story is actually an old legend/tale. It's more folklore/tales than.actual mythology.
She's also an historical figure as well.
Kuzenbo also is a yokai, not a kami. The king of kappa, creatures from Japanese folklore.
So you can't argue that Arthur can't be in the game because he's from literature/legends, because Guan Yu, Da Ji, Kuzenbo are too. And they're in the game.
He has not only support in Celtic Mythology, but in the Matter of Britain too, cause of this he has his own pantheon
Still, those were part of a real pantheon. People believed in them, feared them, were in the lore of gods they worshipped, killed by the gods, cursed by the gods, etc... what is ‘arthurian’ and where can i find their followers in history? This is what they all meant when they say KING ARTHUR IS NOT A GOD.
And im sure many wouldnt mind if he were to be in celtic instead of a new made up religion while there are 3 unfilled pantheons
@@faizfuad5706 Arthurian legends have connections witch Celtic mythology. It's not much different.
If you think about the fact that Morgana, which is Arthur's sister, is either strictly connected to The Morrigan or is basically her in some versions, then it's not much different.
The choice of having them into a separate pantheon was explained.
It's specifically a design choice, they didn't want to be limited to a certain design on the Arthurian characters. And if they were in the Celtic pantheon they would've been too stricted, due to having to adapt them to a certain design.
With dedicating a whole pantheon to them they are free to explore more unique designs for the characters.
It's purely an artistic choice.
Except they completely and openly ignore the connection to mythology. He does not make sense for SMITE. Do we get bloody Mary and slenderman next now?
Change the sentence to "Arthurian pantheon is not a real pantheon", that's the real deal.
What's the point of adding a pantheon that has literally no gods? No, lady of the lake is not a deity, neither Morgan le Fey, Merlin, green knight etc. Nobody worshiped them, like every single charachter in the book. The fact that Morgan Le Fey is based on the Moriggan, doesn't make the things better.
the Excalibur Fury is straight out from an anime
I am really a big fan of knight and king arthur
