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! - Hry

Smite - God reveal - Cu Chulainn, the hound of mispronunciation
Lore Lady pronounced it well enough
Not her, everyone who tries to pronounce it at first XD
No. _No she did not pronounce his name well._ Easiest way to look for someone actually pronouncing his name (and a pair of the other names of weapons and characters from his legends like the Gáe Bulga and Scáthach) is to look up the multiple videos of Ronnie Drew's reading of his old origin tale.
_KOO, HULL-inn._ That's how you pronounce Cú Chulainn's name correctly. The "Hound of Culann" (KOO-lann).
Every time she said his name, I cringed a little.
so it's not pronounced as Choo Choo Train? EVERYTHING IS LIES!!!
*Cu Chulainn has been slain*
LANCER GA SHINDA!
KONO HITO DE NASHI!
Was looking for this!
oh my god, they killed Lancer. You bastard!

Okay Hi-Rez. Real talk. When's he gonna get a blue onesie?

Cú Chulainn, an anime protagonist before anime ever existed.
Amusingly enough, he's actually a character in the anime/visual novel *Fate/Stay Night*.
Aye,even the legend of his death is super anime
omg lol I didn't know actually....*need to watch that anime for him alone*
"Even in death Cú Chulainn will ruin your day."
You are very daft, good day to you.

I love Smite, but I’m here for the Fate references in the comment section. Lancer skin please!!
Considering the fact they got Avatar skins which is a very anime art style it may be within the realm of possibility
Playing Cu Chulainn going be like:
"Out mana! Out mana! Out mana! Out mana! Out mana! Ultimate is ready! Wait! Out mana!"

Me: You mean the Gae Bulg?
When you're a weabo and by seing Cu Chulainn you immediately think of Lancer
Okay, Firstly. I am Irish and this story is something we grow up with. This is an Irish mythology not Scottish, like the casters suggested in the stream reveal. He is the 'Hound of Ulster' which is a province in Ireland. Secondly Ulster is pronounced Ulster.. not Ool-Ster. Thirdly, he killed the Hound using a hurly and a sliotar, which are sporting equipment used in the national game of hurling in Ireland. King Connor saw Satanta (Cu Chullainn) playing hurling in a field with children and was impressed with him so he invited him to his castle. On arrival he was met with the Hound, the Hound charge and Satanta struck the sliotar (which is a small ball like a baseball) into the hounds mouth killing it. I'm not sure where Hi Rez get their information and I can't give an opinion on any other God in the game, on their lore and stuff but the story of Cu Chullainn was part of my childhood and I would like it to be told right. I am so happy that they brought this God into the game though. Great design and good kit. Thanks HiRez
Joe Unicorn2021 you literally said everything that I was thinking
hrpang ya but he's an Irish hero they should have the proper version not the Welsh or Scottish ones
He allegedly when wounded (or just when he got angry by some accounts) went berserk and essential became this unstoppable force of death killing armies and forces which vastly out numbered him
The transformation in the game is their way of representing this I think
Understand that celtic is the official mythos of both Ireland and Scotland so meh
Deathstar 699 he's still an Irish hero not Scottish so it doesn't really matter
Alexander Wareham nope he's telling the correct story man the video isn't 100% wccurate
No mention of Scathach, the Gae Bolg, or his epic battle against Ferdiad? Hell, his riastrad is actually a key component of his kit but it doesn't even get a reference in the lore section? Kinda disappointing.
They did do the use the foot to launch the spear for his ult tho which is a really cool small detail
Well obviously the spear is a reference to the Gae Bolg, it even leaves thorns in his foes
Gae Bolg is his ult in his normal form
scathach is kinda of a minor part of Cu's story though. She's just his teacher and her sister bore his son- that's it.
Now that we have a Rage bar for Cu Chulainn we need a god who uses like Vampiric/Blood magic and his mana is his health kinda like Thanatos would be cool... so much new god design potential now that we can get rid of the mana bar.
Sgt Gyn so vladimir
not a god, barely even a myth
Katelyn Sparks Not true. Vladimir is my God.
the best support adc main ever So any blood mage = Vladimir?
So... Mundo.
"hey your dog attacked me?" "So?" "I killed it." "and?" "Can I be your slave please?"
He realize E Rank was a cruel ironic terrible mistake.
hulk skin, the thing skin 😩
*L A W S U I T S*
cabrakan already have one, but yes that would be cool
You're not sued for creating skins. You're sued if you call him The Hulk while making him look exactly like the hulk
I'd prefer a a l4d charger skin
Hi-Rez has mastered the art of having skins that are inspired without infringing, like Cabraken's one skin which is basically Hulk. Ya know after the Catwoman Bastet skin back in the day.
"Pair him with strong back-ups such as Slyvanus or...Khepri..." Well we can't have our staff calling Khepri strong. Nerf.
XCs Clovers aphro is also a very good pair with him
*_TIME TO GAE BOLG~_*
Kiawe TIME TO GAY BULDGE
HELL YEAH! Was about to comment that lol.
Lancer ga shinda
Ömer Ege Akgün your profile picture pisses me off xD

Does he comes with rank E luck?
I am loving these Celtic figures. Cant wait from more of the Tuatha Dé Danann. Hope they do Brigit soon. Keep up the good work guys!
They put her voodoo counterpart into smite. Maman Brigitte
"That's my secret cap, I'm always angry"
Damn lancer always becomes a hero to fight other heroes but still sucks
Lancer ga shinda!
You are not human
KONO HITO DENASHI
Anderson Zerloti e rank man.
sorry i dont mean to spoil. but his e rank in fate just works also in smite.
truly i feel sorry for this legendary character.
oh my god, they killed Lancer. You bastard!
Im gonna get into the game again just so when an allied cu chulainn dies i can scream "LANCAH GA SHINDA" in chat.
Where's the part in Cu Chulainn's lore talking about his war and sexual training by Scathach? >.>
Yeah, lots of little details wrong in places but they gave it a pretty solid shot. It is a game after all.
Subjagator they should have at least called his q Gae Bolg and not barbed spear , also while he does go berserk when fighting he keeps his skill and agility he doesn’t turn into a hulk like wtf
"Sexual training"? Uhh, context please?
KingChickenwing exactly how it sounds.
@@kingchickenwing4887 He defeated his teacher's evil twin(both were female) and told her he would spare her life if she had sex with him, resulting in a son Cu Chulainn mistakenly kills his son was 7 years old.
Fun fact: According to OSP, Cu Chulainn died at 17, so you do the math of how old he was when he became a father.
-Cu Chulainn = Check
-Scathach
-Medb
-Fergus Mac Roich
We need more Celts in here!
Needless to say, when I learned of SMITE and saw they had Celtic pantheon, one of my thoughts was naturally: ''How long until they release Cu Chulainn?'' And here we are.
When you read real god reveal instead of god reveal
DeBigBadBoss 1311 Crispy
Depression.
So basically just a pissed off Erlang.
Roopa Doopa Gnar*
Aldo Juarez and the whole rage thing is from wow soo...
Ron Yuma who's comparing the games? Because I am comparing characters which is not serious enough to bring this much attention lol
Roopa Doopa but the scottish version lol
The BlazedAssassin triggered. he's celtic = Irish.
So, I had no idea who Cu Chulain was (I have heard of him, but am not familiar with his myths).
And after a quick Google search I read about his lores.
And I must say, Hirez did a great job designing him. His abilities matched his lore perfectly.
"His barbed spear, a weapon that inflicts damage none have recovered from" reduces healing.
"His war cry would kills hundreds of warrior from fright" reflects in his Ultimate.
And the way he goes berserk, changes form and gets extremely hot is also very in line with his lore.
Well done Hirez.
...Now re-read Daji's lore and change her kit
Samrai DCD the abilities match the lore but their story with the dog isn't correct and neither is their pronounciation
@@Rmcd97 pronouncnation change with each transition from other languages. It doesn't matter how you say it because there are several ways to pronounce his name, it all depends on where you are from.
@@crimsonking7179 that's not how language works with names
his gae bolg actually gives a non stop bleeding. they should make that gae bolg ability into damage over time like serqet's
It does not that, is something Fate made up, his spear fills your body with barbs, it was instantly lethal, he used it roughly twice in his entire life.
@@doesntmatter2467 Gae Bolg in Fate does not give non stop bleeding.
Lancer skin from fate series? Disappointed his ultimate is not gae bolg (aka gay buldge) :(
Gae Bolg is the name of his spear in the original myth, so he's constantly using it in base form. I'm more disappointed his passive is just "Berserk" (literally means bear skin) and not the proper term of "Riastrad" or "Warp Spasm", even "Torque" is a better translation.
Amen. Warp Spasm would sound sooo much better. Granted, they also played a little fast and free in their lore explanation, but that can be forgiven for the sake of time, I guess.
Zakgor it is, though. unless you wanted it to be an instadeath spike bush spear.
Barbed Spear reduces healing as the injuries caused by Gae Bolg can't be healing.
Gae Bolg translates as notched/barbed spear. It can also be translated as spear of mortal pain. It's literally his Q and R.
RANSA GA SHINDAAAAAA!!!
I wonder if this means smite will add in some of the other Irish/Gaelic heroes and/or gods, like Finn McCool (Fionn mac Cumhaill)
cu chulainn, and yet none of his skill called gae bolg.. DISSAPOINTED !
Gae Bolg is the name of his spear and he uses it in almost all of his abilties and attacks. There's no need for it
true but.. at least they could mention it in this video
true but at least they could've just.. mention it in this video at least
Yeh, shoulda been the first skill name, tbh. ;c Or at least had it somewhere in the skill's name.
well yeah I know the meaning, but I don't know.. it just sounds more fancy if they use gae bolg instead
she forgot the Mana into HP thing
now stealing mana buff is worth it Lol
I prefer my cu chulain in blue tights
oh my god, they killed Lancer. You bastard!
reminds me of that lancer that died in Fate/Stay Night
DNAgoat gaming That's because that Lancer is supposed to be him.
did you know: Chu-chulin was in fate/stay night in anime
This makes me want a Fate/stay night moba
MessOfIdeas _ I need this in my life, but there’s always FGO.
I was surprised that there isn't one.
At least we have Extella and GO
Never knew how different he is in Celtic lore
So many people know of him from Fate, and that's... Honestly a relatively butchered incarnation of the guy. They made Gae Bulg into... I think it's Gungnir, Odin's spear, that has that ability in its myth. Gae Bulg is... Just a really damn good spear, I think.
Actually it was said that was it penetrated your body it made erupted countless barbs inside proving always fatal and only being used 2 times.
Ah, right.
@@charcharmunr Too late to reply but He still had that ability where you can't heal normally with the injuries. They just added something where you can't really dodge it unless you have higher luck. It's not butchered but him making a Hulk because of his curse was not something I would like to see and it was there in Smite. As for when you get stab and the barbs grow I remember that in his berserker form im Fate which an Incarnation of him with his curse and when he stabs you with the Spear the barbs grow inside. I guess you could say it's still butchered just from the fact that a servant summon was just a copy and a relatively weaker than what they are originally in the throne of heroes because of class restrictions. Since Lancer ver can't used the curse while berserker was him when the curse is active
I don't play this game, but I love to see the different concepts that these companies come up with. This one reminds me of Gnar from LoL but the way that he has to manage his bar is far more interesting. Love it.
I was kinda expecting more like his Fate version with the spear form as his only/primary abilities. But still cool and glad they added the Celtic line.
Ok , Bye [player disconnected]
I love how a lot of smite characters have to deal directly with our world.
This easily the most censored description of Cu Chulainn's legend. I like how all the abilities are there that reference the legends but none of the details referencing them.
Cu chu is awesome, I felt in love with him since I saw him.
I've a feeling whoever played this hero lost many, MANY games due to that E-Rank Luck
You know a god is gonna be fun when it's just fun watching him be played lol
Fun fact, that Druid that gave Cu his prophecy? Yeah, you see Cu heard him say the part about how those who take up arms will be legend part and then immediately grabbed a weapon and ran out to battle, he would have heard the guy say the part about an early death if he had just waited a little bit and let the guy finish talking
Warp spasm looks amazing
He killed the dog by hitting a slithor down the dogs throat ...
I didn't hear a time limit on how long he can be in his berserk mode...anyone know how long it is?
20s
in lore u guys forgot to say that he fought the 5th Holy Grail War
Interesting, makes more sense seeing it in action than just reading the Patch Notes
Ransa Ga Shinda !!!
I haven't ever read a Cu Chulainn myth where he has the power to transform into a mutant berserk hulk thing...
Flesh Maze Tango look up cu chulain's warp spasm
Adrian Leon Taveras I always thought the Warp Spasm form was more of a giant zombie than a hulk thing. It was always described as having a missing eye, exposed internal organs, a torn face, etc. I didn't realize that this was meant to be the Warp Spasm.
Flesh Maze Tango i guess they had to tone down the imagery, but I do thinking they should have given the passive the proper name as well as referencing his spear in his 1 and ult. They also did not explain warp spasm in the lore for some reason
@@diamador4471 I seem too remember hearing that his muscles inflated like a balloon, and that he towered over them like a giant. He got bigger definitly
From Lancer to Berserker.
These memories make me cry fr
Huh. Reminds me of the Berserker elite from Guild Wars 2's Warrior class's. Love it!
Interesting how they have his 'riastrad' as his berserk ability but never mentioned it in his lore.
honestly I've really just wanted Aeolus from Greek mythology for the longest time. I think it be really cool to have a wind God and I feel like they could even do something or each one of his four abilities represent a different direction of wind (north east south west)
solid
I can listen to that voice all day.
Gae Bolg: Barbed Spear that Pierces with Death
GAE BOLG!!!
Gnar :) I love it
why not.... zeus from dota 2 has the same ulti as Karathus from lol and nu wa from smite... does this comparison offend you for some reason? it shouldnt...
literally just a Gnar that is neither as good or kawaii
Thank you, I was just making a bit of comparison of ability and model changes after a threshold
Lol xD
*cough* dota 1 - 2003 *cough* league of legend - 2009 *cough* smite - 2014 *cough* idiot *cough*
I don’t even play this game but damn I love the mythology and the way it’s presented
One of my Top 3 favorite smite god
I'm still waiting for the abrahamic gods
Abrahamic Gods? But, the Abrahamic religions are monotheistic.
Reinhardt Wilhelm I meant all three gods, yehwah, god and allah.
Technically they are the same god with different names. It would be like having Zeus and Jupiter in the game at the same time.
You'll be waiting forever then because it's never going to happen. The abrahamic religions are too politically charged in the west for Hirez to do anything with them without igniting a PR firestorm.
Somali Pirate Who Pirated Your Girlfriend that would offend so many people
Lancer? Is that you? Where's Gae Bolg?
Darth Ashura his ultimate but its translated to english
It was the barbed spear... i think
oh my god, they killed Lancer. You bastard!
Holy heck I am so freaking happy to have more Celtic Pantheon, and the fact that it's Cu Chulainn?!! SO EXCITED!!!
Gnar's new visual update looks great!
I though Cu Chulainn was lancer class not a berserker
He's both, he's got his Gae Bolg, a spear, and he has the Ríastrad, the frenzied state of madness in battle.
Ian Davidsson yes but he’s not suppose to go Bruce banner, he usually bulls up and his hair stands up like a saiyan, while having his agility and gae bolg
Well currently in fgo there is cu chulainn alter berserker class, and druid cu chulainn caster class.
Anyone who fought at least one time with anger can be summoned in the Berserker class.
So pretty much unless you have the patience of Buddha himself, you can be sloted into the Berserkers class.
Erlang Shen needs a Lu Bu skin plzz consider it
Erlang Shen.Lu Bu skin,R U SERIOUS?
Or have Lu Bu in general
Lu bu isn't considered a god
Neither was Guan Yu
But that was it though. He was only deitified by the people because of his military accomplishments. That's when the Chinese people acknowledged him as a god. I'm not trying to be disrespectful of him being a god, I'm just pointing that he wasn't a god a start. Now with Hercules being a demigod that's a bit different since he made a choice to be mortal but the people still deitified him because of his feets.
I love how in berserk form, he does more damage when hitting with his smaller arm
Well he kind of does has to jump to get his massive arm in the air to swing it
Still feel like he needs protections on leap or mitigation on berserk still good counter for Morgan's invisibility as well as some counter engagement with his ult
CU CHULAINN SMASH!!
Gae Bolg!!
Aw man, I was so hoping at some point to hear Gae Bolg in this.
3 years later im still waiting for a non-exclusive skin to be released
"Hound of Ulster" -> "has a scotish accent" Geography is part of the lore Hi-Rez, just saying
you'd think they'd know the difference too =/
TheTradicional To be fair there's plenty of characters that don't have proper accents. How many Greek gods have Greek accents? Athena has a Russian accent. A lot of Chinese gods don't sound Chinese. Egyptian gods don't sound Egyptian. Weird that more people care about the Celtic pantheon's accents than the other pantheons.
El creepo magnifico the new hero in overwatch is irish with a real irish accent. And there are alot of people on skellig isles in the witcher 3 with real irish accents (they would have to since its named after an irish island ard skellig)
El creepo magnifico there are loads of real irish accents in films and tv though.
El creepo magnifico ermoin the druid did along with a few off the skellig leaders
Fate Skin pls Gaben
oh my god, they killed Lancer. You bastard!
I would love a God of War like game with Cu Chulainn as the protagonist
I was looking back and damn is been 4 years since Cuchulain 💀

you know, this reminds me of GNAR in league of legends
How come I just discovered this?? I LOVE TJIS MYTHAND IRELAND MYTHOLOGY AND EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS I LOVE THIS I LPVE EVERYTHING
omg lancer wtf no Gae Bolg?????
Hulk skin pls
Alfatejp Blind Cabrakan has the hulk skin :/ just purple to avoid copyright
I've been waiting this for so loooong. All i need anymore is Scathac.
We need shishou!
"I'm coming for you, laddie"
So basically he's a Titan shifter
#notmybacchus
I will come back to Smite. Thank you designers.
could you put the The Dacian Pantheon next? (there is some good stuff such as the Solomonari )
Man I was hoping for more of a fate/stay night character haha
In Ireland he killed the hound with a Hurley not his bare hands
Wasnt it the slither that actually killed it? He hit it doen thr hounds throat
I feel like mystical mail would work well with him to help wear enemies down, or am wrong?
such a great game, but the servers seem instable cause i get disconnected all the time (5-8 times per game)
i would love to play it again.
the gods and heroes are so well done, and the lore so nicely put.
