Smite‘s New God Brings Love To The Arena

This article is over 11 years old and may contain outdated information

Hello Aphrodite! Are those doves? Not the face! Not the face!

Say hello to Smite‘s latest recruit: Aphrodite, Goddess of Beauty. And also doves, kisses, and an almighty slap with a Back Off should you get a little closer than she likes. Those are some pretty fun looking moves in the trailer; but she needs a Soulmate to really make them sing. Any volunteers?

Aphrodite’s not much without her Soulmate, but a well-matched pair could really run the table. Heals, buffs, and stunning the enemy seems to be this mage-type’s forte; God help the team facing off against those doves and kisses, if all goes according to Aphrodite’s plan. Though you do have to feel a little sorry for that lovelorn Cyclops! Poor guy never catches a break.

Smite, Hi-Rez’s free to play brawler – currently in beta – is inspired by DotA, but takes things to the third person perspective, to get you right into the combat. Players choose from a selection of God types – Egyptian, Greek, Hindu, Chinese and Norse are on the table at the moment – and take them to the battlefield for honor and glory. Aphrodite (Venus’) kid Cupid is already in the fight, bow at the ready; maybe it’s time for a take-your-son-to-work day.
