Careful with that tail !
Martichoras is the newest addition to SMITE ’s roll of Gods ( and other non - God mythical creature that are playable ) , and everyone who has witnessed Martichoras live how unorthodox this Hunter is . It ’s more ability based than any other Hunter ( except peradventure … Chiron , I guess ? ) and it genuinely might take you some time to adapt to Martichoras if you intend to play him often . But the doubt of many SMITE players is … is Martichoras good or not ? Prima Games reveals our psychoanalysis below .
How Good is Martichoras in SMITE?
Of course , we have covered the ability of Martichoras in the Patch Notes clause , so if you need to review the power of Martichoras on his first appearance , feel costless to curb it out :

As remark , Martichoras is power - subject and his basic attack are not as strong as those of other Hunters ’ . You will also notice that Martichoras does not have a dash , leap , or sprint power , so he ’s in that department , standardised to the like of Ah Muzen Cab , Artemis , and Skadi when it comes to quick mobility .
This , however , does not entail that Martichoras is spoilt .
Because you do not have an evasion ability ( that stealth brush does not really count as such , to be honest ) you need to act as more guardedly than you ordinarily would because you do n’t have a “ Get Out of Jail Free ” card .
In 1v1 situations , Martichoras fares quite well , and you will get yourself win those situation more often than not . In team fight , Martichoras will certainly be good in the stop upon release where not everyone is aware of his full potential difference , but I predict it might be trickier as time passes , because the great unwashed might commonly identify him as a variety - of “ Glass Cannon ” threat that should be focused down before he bound out his outfit in full . I signify , fall on , look at the quantity and lineament of those debuffs . And appear at the possible damage . I forecast that the Ultimate ability will normally be used to slip yourself out of the team fight for four seconds and effectively stop the foe squad from focusing you down , allowing you to reposition yourself and summarize damage administer when you land . This is why a tank Martichoras build exists , especially while the Axe of Animosity bug remains ( poison ticks proc the Axe of Animosity textual matter ) .
The best advice that I might add for the terminal is to be aware of your environment as Martichoras , to have cellblock sprung out at primal locating on the map ( if on Conquest ) , and to wisely put your brush and wisely apply your cooldowns , because while Martichoras is give a lot , he is also inexorable if you misuse the abilities or misplace yourself in a team competitiveness .
I promise that he might be a gamey - skill - detonating gadget God and we are yet to see how he will perform in tournaments . But I feel he ’ll be good . He ’s not overmaster like some Gods upon release ( * COUGH * Guan Yu * COUGH * Chang’e * COUGH * Tsukuyomi * COUGH * ) which gives me desire that Hi - Rez will perhaps try more to land a healthier secret plan state for everyone in the futurity .
