You can see The Mire coming from a mile away. The Fear requires Insanity, and the Stun/Knock-Back requires his 3 to hit, which is a sort of slow dash. It just means you, as Cthulhu, will have to lock them down and destroy them before they can get to you!Ĭthulhu has CC, “but”. Any warrior/assassin who picks up hp% damage is just going to mow him down, which is all that sees him as smart. Until your opponent realizes “Oh hey, he’s an HP tank! Just pick up Qin’s Sais!” and then it’s over. So that sounds great, right? Lots of health means it’s easy to last in prolonged fights. High Health Comes with a Cost: Cthulhu’s got a fair amount of health, and once he ults, that number just increases. It doesn’t help that in his ult, Transfuse sacrifices his own health to give to his team! If your team isn’t with you (and even if they are), you’re going to be a very likely. He gains Max Health increase, and Damage Mitigation during the animation, but as soon as that’s over? It’s fair game. Descend Into Madness makes him grow to a colossal size. Hard Target, a Film by John Woo: One of the major downsides of Cthulhu is the double-edged sword that is his ultimate. With that in mind, it’s a potentially great way to steal objectives or push people off! He can do so much. Once The Mire starts plopping down onto the field, people scatter. We want to make sure the team can easily secure kills or gank people. They’re not always easy to use, but mastery of them, and knowledge of what to do and when will mean nobody escapes their fate. No matter where you put him on the team, Cthulhu brings something to every single teamfight.Ĭrowd Control Central: While some of it’s hard to land, Cthulhu has a Slow, Root, a Fear, and a Knock-Back in his kit. I can see him being a jungler too, and setting up kills by dropping The Mire over a wall or something. He can dole out tons of damage on his ultimate, while also setting up kills for the rest of the team. Set up the field with The Mire to slow/root people, pop Sanity Break to gain more Damage Mitigation, the ult! You gain health, more damage mitigation, and even more damage/CC. Teamfight Potential is High: Oh, sweet babies! His teamfight potential is infuriating to deal with! Cage people in with Odin ult, and activate Cthulhu’s ult inside of it? There’s no escape from the damage. Overall, Cthulhu, once you figure him out, is a blast, and feels very satisfying to play. He has a fair amount of distraction in the form of his ultimate and can bring a great deal of set-up for your teams kills. But what makes him a great addition to any team is what he brings to the table. What he does cannot be replicated (except by The Morrigan, I guess). I hope to do this more again!Įasy to Slot Into a Team: Cthulhu is a unique addition to the roster, like many of the recent gods.
#Cthulhu smite pro
I have covered pro matches, Smite Worlds and more over the years. I happen to play a fair amount of Smite (which we have covered a lot of). Some people might see Cthulhu as a “step too far,” since he’s not a “real God.”īut anything that is spoken of with reference, perhaps fear, anyone that is worshipped, is a god. I fear that he’s a little on the squishy side, but I’ll address that soon enough. Before I get started, I do love a good Guardian/Tank. As a people, we cannot ignore what a dreadful person he was, but his actual work as a writer is fascinating. We can’t ignore what kind of awful racist he was. Lovecraft himself was an awful human being. Usually, locking in a new Guardian is easy, but this is Cthulhu we’re talking about here. We’re going to see how this goes! One of the hardest parts of writing these style articles isn’t the actual writing. Cthulhu has released in Smite, and I can’t wait to talk about him. Not to mention, Cthulhu, as the first of the Great Old Ones, is also a role I play the most: Guardian. I’m glad to be writing about Smite again, as a game I’ve spent hundreds, if not thousands of hours playing. Lovecraft, the Great Old Ones of his mythos feels like they belong here. Well, he did, but now, Cthulhu, dreaded Great Old One has awoken in Smite! What makes Cthulhu so fascinating an addition to Smite is that he’s a modern creation. In his house at R’lyeh, Cthulhu waits dreaming. By Jason Parker in SMITE | Jun, 20th 2020
