Hi Rez Studios have added a new character to the game as part of update 10.2, the beast god Martichoras - The Manticore King. This god has a human face, four legs and wings. 

Smite developers believe that Martichoras is perfect for the long and medium ranges. The beast also has an appropriate playstyle. Many players compare Martichoras to Cerberus. Therefore, the developers point out that they wanted to make the character unique.

The character’s abilities:

  • The basic attack allows the character to apply venom. The feature of this type of attack is that subsequent hits deal more damage than the initial one;
  • Monstrosity. Martichoras gains up to 100 stacks of Fury (for attacks) and then loses Fury and gets an attack speed buff;
  • Acid Rain. The god releases venomous barbs that move in a circle and damage enemies. The barbs also leave a toxic trail that slows down enemies;
  • Poisoned Barb. Martichoras can shoot a stinger. When hitting an enemy, the sting reduces his healing. And if Martichoras misses, he can blow the barb on the ground.
  • Stalk Prey. This ability allows you to create a patch of stealth grass and hide there with allied gods. While inside the patch, Martichoras’ movement speed increases.
  • Death From Above. Martichoras has wings for a reason. As he soars into the air, he can release 12 bursts of damaging toxins over 3s. Each time an enemy is hit with the burst, their physical protection is reduced.
