2:29 So Persephone vs Ah Puch = Plants vs Zombies

I love how Persephone's abilities are a perfect balance between her being the Goddess of Spring and a death goddess.

I miss the old lore videos that actually explained the backstory

Persephone confirmed to truly love her goth-nerd husband & three-headed dragon-puppy; she loves being able to spend 6 months with them every year and being able to get away from her overbearing mother.

Hades is actually the most normal out of the gods in greek mythology and isnt evil at all. Also hades basic skin should be humanized like they did Poseidon and zues.

I didn't understand a single thing of this godesses kit...

You're basically tending to a garden that kills the enemy in the process.

Revert Persephone 🥀

We finally get to play with Hades' waifu!

I love the whole “Death Farmer” theme with her moves Plus the wholesome Persephone where she willingly stayed with Hades is the best version of the story

I bet everyone is wishing they didn't complain now. I hope they revert the rework

Arachne couldn't have spider traps because it was "micromanagement". Now you release Persephone. Can we give Arachne all her traps back??

She's so lucky: goddess, best husband, alone time, queen...

please bring back the old Persephone I miss her!!!!

KZfaq keeps recommending me this video... I really want to cry 7.7

Was that my boy cerberus on the background?

I want to see Persephone, hades, Thanatos and Cerberus on the same team!!!!!!!!!

I Weep Over the Fact She’s is Not A Single remnant of Who she Was after the Rework. Thanks for Caring about her Core Player-base. 🥀😖

Zyra your new hairstyle is cool, but I like old one.

I come here occasionally to remind myself what they took from us 😭😭😭

1 Month later, REVERT PERSEPHONE PLEASE.

She looks like a tricky god to master but a massive pain in the butt. I could imagine her and Aphrodite tip-toeing through a garden of death with the stupid amount of sustain and CC they would have together

...and then she got reworked!

I can imagine an Alien queen Persephone skin Skulls=Alien eggs 2nd state of skull=egg with the alien tail 3rd state of skull=alien First ability=Alien that explodes Third=idk Fourth ability=void ball with alien tentacles Thank you guys for the likes

Make a couple skin pack PLEASE hades & Persephone

I miss the old kit :/

welp. fun while it lasted.

Please tell me she has special interactions with hades and cerburus. If not I'm going to be so dissapointed

i love how in the combat scenario the player has no idea whats going on and the narrator has to pretend they're doing well

They should make an animation for both hades and persephone on the battle field together

Can we get a big F for her kit?

I don't even play smite but watching these reveals can be really enlightening on greek culture.

*Here is Everything anyone needs to know .* *passive:* stack it to 100 back make *225 gold* at 25 stacks you get a revive for 8 seconds to farm or maybe finish a kill *1st Ability * is a medusa 2 rectangle shape good scaling and base dmg long range fires like ullr axe so you can turn mid firing and it still goes same place leaves a seed at the end. *2nd Ability *place seeds that you have to auto in order to activate. Before 4 seconds seed better healing than ah puch zombies. After 4 seconds seeds now detonate damage slightly higher than detonate corpses on ah puch max sense since you have to auto and place them individually the damage passes through walls as well as player made walls and slows. after 24 seconds Grown form plant untargettable speed is 640 can be outran around 540 speed damage hits like small truck damage doesn't pass through walls of any kind bad synergy with ult since now ult protects enemy from the seed's 3rd form damage. All seed types fill passive stacks. *3rd ability* leap can pass through walls can be fired backwards like rama or thoth quick invulnerability frame like hou yi leap makes aoe at the start that activates seeds as if autoed and ranks them 1 rank higher synergies with the 1 in making the seed the 1 places rank 2 immediately for chasing so leaping after enemy placing 1 auto attacking seed enemy now slowed. *4rth ability the Ultimate* fires like janus ult has no distance limit on contact makes structure that blocks 5 autos in order to break enemy hit rooted and crippled lasts for a while. enemies in the aoe get immediately hit with vines that makes them unable to walk further away ( this works with all forms of invulnerability cannot be dodged) Pros: (i judge by conquest) 1) The 1 has a long range a relatively short cooldown allows for a lot of ranged poke and damage at close range is almost instant. 2) sustain and good poke any god with weak early clear suffers against her. 3) cripple on the ult is good against high mobility matchup (good vs hunters) 4) has a leap, i'd recommend lvling the 3 next after starting the 2 in order to spam seeds a detonate them like how agni clears by dashing from the end of the wave she walks in the middle of it. 5) poly, soul reaver and other items that gives damage do not have the set back of being reduced by reanimation by passive i'd recommend soul reaver and poly over anything else. 6) Great Gold farmer considering her passive. 7)At lvl 1 she has crazy clear with the 2nd Abilities minions Currently from testing techincally fastest lvl 1 jungle clear of speed blue then reaching lane after minions spawn in the game as well as costs the least mana which allows you to get 1 mixed pot and the rest as health pots.( game starts walk to speed place 3 seeds walk to blue place 3 seeds back then Buy items go to speed the seeds should be at final development stage then auto attacking your full grown seeds full clears speed buff, now walk towards the back harpies place 3 seeds and go to blue detonate the seeds there and come back to back harpies they should be at stage 2 now detonate them and go to mid lane. level the 3rd ability second in order to place a bunch of seeds on the wave detonating them to insta clear and go steal enemy red buff. Cons: 1)CC is like hun batz she has a slow and an ult with CC but that's it. 2)Damage requires a lot time to set up 3)her kit has no set up for guaranteed damage so kill potential outside of the ultimate against characters that can avoid it is nonexistent. Especially in lane. 4) walls block her kit the 1 stops and doesn't go further, The 3s minions wont do damage, you need to auto attack to activate seeds if that is blocked she doesn't get to do anything and Ultimate can be stopped by walls. *Best Counter god:* Anhur Namely due to how she suffers against hunters, how he can dodge her damage as well as dish out more damage and he can block her abilities with his 1.

You know I really really like this kind of reveal. Like it gives you some backstory, then it just shows you how the character plays. Not to put down overwatch but their hero reveals never really feel like I’ve learned anything it’s just crazy music and unlikely scenarios. Here it’s just, here’s how the character works, here’s the abilities here’s some gameplay. Have fun.

So excited to play her man. Mostly for her lore, character and design but I'm sure she'll be a blast to play.

For those that dint understand the jump. Her 3... It pretty much speeds up the process of her seeds. So if you jump on it in her first form it explodes and transform to the second sprout which explodes and not heals. If its on her second sprout and she jumps on it, it turns into her 3 which charges and attacks.

My girl gets a proper introduction unlike the previous god reveals recently 😒

REVERT PERSEPHONE!!!!!!!!!!

A 6 SECOND COOLDOWN FOR THE LEAP??

Damn the quality of the intro is so good!

Now all that's left is Amphitrite, Poseidon's wife

People with trypophobia will have a hard time playing her xD

Lore Olympus fandom where you at?! Let's support our adult cinnamon roll!!☺😋😍

She was good. Revert Persephone!!!!

If this is the new God reveal format, I'm all for it, let's do this. That intro was epic, let's keep doing this Hi-Rez pleeaaasseeee.

Shame they kinda butchered her with her rework

I cant remember the last time i drooled over a new character so much, i absolutely love the entire style and color of her base skin, you guys really out did yourselves with this one 😍

How can you ruin this unique Kit? 🤧 she was so good, please revert Persephone

What I really want is for hades to be reskinned to actually look human like his brothers

I can’t wait to play as her next week

Look how they massacred my girl They ruined her kit😓

Finally. I've been waiting for this for ages.

I like her aesthetic

As a Trypophobe, I can never play this god ever

Yay the return of lady of lore in full effect. Welcome back! We missed you

Basically farm simulator in smite. Thanks for another balanced god, hirez.

Such an intricate kit… and now, she’s nothing but a cheap cop out. I hope they bring some of these back, especially her 1 not stopping on non-existent walls

This goddess reminds me a bit of Zyra from League of Legends.

"We're running out of kit ideas for new gods, what should we do?" "Yes."

This has 666k view and she is the queen of the underworld..

She’s going to be Dangerous in any situation regarding 80% cooldown: Her gardens can be planted in record time for the gold and self res, even before the match begins in earnest Said skulls can flood the field with healing, explosives and cannon fodder at any time She’s the first mage I can recall with an Assassin or warrior style leap, so she’s mobile in such a way to be able to avoid traps and the like HER ULT will be game defining for the likes of omnipotence and all out assault 2.0 (that’s going to be a massive garden with games of 5 of her). Most mobility options are damned on the spot, while it’s range and area of effect are nothing to sneeze at, and even perma-cloaked Loki’s should have extreme issues in dealing with the massive stun and all but assured reveal from stealth (a prospect LONG overdue in omnipotence. The Midgard serpent kinda gets bullied in that game mode, so his anti stealth is underused). Just bait the Loki into using his ult nearby, throw down the vines and butcher him on the spot.

I hope Persephone mother Demeter goddess of harvest. Join as mage on smite god reveal 💚🌾💖💐💚🌾💖💐💚🌾💖💐🌾💖💐💚🌾💖💐

Happy to have you Back Lore Lady. I am greatful.

My brain can never comprehend these most of the time. I have to practice with them myself to understand.

Who’s ready for a whole month of AutoLockers? I AMMM

Speaking of new characters, here's a couple of characters to add to the Celtic Pantheon! Two of Ireland's greatest monsters: Abhartach the Vampire Lord, and Balor of the Evil Eye!

Been waiting so long for Pan, god of satyrs, pipes, and general raucousness.

Reminds me of Zyra and Karthus, two of my favorite champions in LoL. Might have to try Smite again at some point, her aesthetics and gameplay look great.

I like this version of her lore. There are many versions of Korë's (Persephone) myth to becoming queen of the underworld and this version allows you to assume it went this way or that way. ( I prefer the one where hades got hit by Eros arrow and fell in love with her and she slowly fell in love with him and it's so cute. )

She was supposed to be feared when played well, why did they change her??

I sure as hell want that game now :0

Basically Zyra from League of Legends ...

NO POMEGRANATES! NO NO NO NO POMEGRANATES!

This is the most confusing kit I have ever heard of wtf

Cannot wait till she's released! 👍

This goddess is actually really fun and quite good. Also, *Lore Lady* yay 😭💖

i miss this kit, please give it back

Can we pls have it he old Persephone 🥹

Oo I like the ambience music when they talk about the abilities

Me re-watching this for the 100th time because I love how mysterious she is.

Been playing smite since season 3 💅🏽

I guess you could say the dead have a bone to pick with Persephone.

Since this lore video didn't really do anything to inform people of her backstory, basically this is what it is In the most popular version, Zeus is unfaithful to Hera (where have I heard this before?) and shags Demeter (goddess of harvest). Demeter gives birth to this goddess girl called Persephone and she is associated with spring and flowers. Persephone is like, really pretty, so Hades naturally wants a piece of that, so he snatches her and takes her to the underworld. In some versions, he does this because they were truly in love but Demeter wasn't really keen on her daughter going to hell to see her boyfriend, so Persephone and Hades stage a kidnapping so they can be together (I prefer this version bc it means Persephone is actually into Hades from the start). Demeter gets super pissed because her daughter is gone so she decides to doom humanity for a while by not doing her Harvest Goddess Thing, which makes it so produce doesn't grow on Earth like it should, so there's this temporary global famine going on until Zeus catches wind of this. Zeus seeing as how humanity is kinda starving, tells Hades he has to return Persephone, or else Demeter will get everyone killed. Hades is like "yeah sure", but before Persephone goes back, he offers her a pomegranate from the underworld. Persephone gladly takes the gift and eats some of its seeds. Now, because she ate something from the underworld, she's a part of it, meaning she'll have to spend a chunk of her time there or else some not so good godly shenanigans will happen to her. Seeing as how her daughter is linked to the underworld, Demeter is understandably even more pissed, but caves in and lets Persephone be with her man. Persephone marries Hades and becomes queen of the underworld, and now she's in smite Edit: this bond with the underworld makes it so she has to return every once in a while. Hades and Demeter made a deal: half the year Persephone stays with him, and the other half, she stays with her mom. That's why the cycle of seasons exists, while Persephone is in the underworld, plants die on earth (autumn and winter), but when she resurfaces, she does her duty as a goddess, bringing spring and summer. Persephone is basically how the Greeks explained the passing of seasons, so she's kinda very important

Can't wait on Thibi and Yellow Shell.

Welcome home, Lore Lady.

Beautiful!! And very well done, she's the most unique character kit I have ever seen, well for me at least 😅

Persephone looks like a strategic champ. No button smacking here.

persephone's ability lets her open pomegranates without actually breaking them open

Bring her back.

A future skin inspired by poison ivy, would be a good idea, no?

Wow you really need to plan out to play this god

I would like them to add Demeter soon and she would also revolve around plants but it’s more integral since she is the true goddess of the harvest

I like it the new introduction

Come one, bring her back before next season. I need her so bad

Hi rez: Let make persephone ult radius so big you could snare a target(most likely the both mid exp jungle camps or enemy jungler) thats on the other side of the wall on conquest.

If Varus and old school Zyra had an offspring, it would be Persephone’s kit.

Persephone, the goddess of Trypophobia... ._.

hm...need to read those effects myself...she seems complicated...REALY complicated...but i love this garden system xD

I seriously hope they implement Ishtar or Ereshkigal in this game. We seriously need the Sumerian pantheon

Easily my most favorite god and character of all video games
