SMITE is Getting Hot with the Goddess of Volcanoes | Culture of Gaming

The Goddess of Volcanoes, Pele, was recently revealed in Smite. Joel takes a look at her and gives his thoughts on her addition.

I feel like SMITE has been doing great recently, with Baron Samedi’s well-received reception. I’m taking a look as Hi-Rez Studios dishes out another great God design: Pele, the Goddess of Volcanoes.

Lore

Lore wise, with Pele being the Goddess of Volcanoes, an assassin isn’t what I pictured. Yes it is an interesting idea, and the kit does resemble that of the Goddess herself. But I honestly felt that a Goddess of Creation wouldn’t be an assassin. Almost every single God in SMITE related to creation is generally a mage or a guardian, and Pele probably would have been better as a mage. Other than that, the flame like clothing bears an amazing resemblance to the Polynesian culture.

Passive Ability – Everlasting Flames

Being on low health activates a buff that provides extra damage and life-steal from her attacks for a short period of time. There is a cooldown period of 30 seconds each time it is used. First things first, I think it’s an interesting choice of passives. Most passive abilities for assassins tend to be based more around damage or chasing scenarios. An example would be Loki’s passive, Behind You, which does more damage when attacking an enemy from the back.
