This month, the game developers introduced a new god – the first knight of the Round Table – Sir Lancelot. Earlier, at the online OTK Games Expo, the Titan Forge Games studio has already shown a trailer with the new character in SMITE. And everyone can play as the Avalon assassin and try out the announced Lancelot combat capabilities.

Lancelot is a traveling knight.  Due to his ability to move quickly and in a variety of ways, he can deal heavy damage in close combat. Lancelot can fight both on horseback and dismounted. As long as he is on a horse, you can’t apply the base attack abilities. Meanwhile, the knight can quickly turn in the opposite direction while sitting on horseback.  Lancelot can hit enemies with his lance (making a quick dash and thrusting the lance) and his shield (striking it in front of his enemies and knocking them back).

Titan Forge Games artists say that to create the image of Lancelot they studied sources from English and French literature. They took into account his swordsmanship and his excellent command of the lance. In Smite, the knight of the round table is dressed in armor decorated with a coat of arms.

Separately, the game developers provide another character – Lancelot’s horse. In the game, she has separate, exclusive abilities. She is decorated in the royal style, just as the knight is covered with armor.  And the new god spends most of his game time on his horse.
