Since we revealed Martichoras, we couldn't stop thinking about one question you asked us on reddit: "wait, who does his braids?"
The Weaver, naturally!
Even the mighty Martichoras has a few fears. 🤣
Them: Martichoras, a terrifying, brutal beast, king of the manticores. Me: Kitty. Got it. 🦁 I had a lot of fun creating this Defeat animation. I giggled way more than I should have. #animation #gamedev @SMITEGame Now to go watch more videos of cats being afraid of cucumbers. https://t.co/Yl8dJTphZA

Imperious Martichoras is coming to dominate when The Manticore King Update releases!
For a full breakdown of his kit, including more detailed ability descriptions & numbers - be sure to read our Update Notes on ! Just check the link below. 👇
⚡️
Closing out the kit, Martichoras brings his ultimate: Death From Above.
Becoming CC immune & untargetable in the air, he'll rain down 12 bursts of damaging toxins that reduce the Physical Protections of your enemies.
Following that, Stalk Prey! Martichoras creates a patch of stealth grass which he and his allies can use to hide from enemy gods.
But beware, if an enemy god enters it or places a ward inside its range? You'll be revealed!
Up next - Poisoned Barb - a stinger that deals damage, pierces minions, and stops on the first enemy god hit. It will persist for 3s on said god or a point on the ground, reducing their healing, until it explodes from a basic attack or ability cast.
For his first ability, Martichoras has Acid Rain - which creates a circular rain of spikes that deals damage as it rolls forward. This will slow & damage all enemies within the trail it leaves.
When it comes to his passive, Martichoras has Monstrosity - a stacking Ferocity benefit that turns into an Attack Speed buff!
Ready your blade, The Manticore King has arrived on our Update Show!
Tune in now for your first look at Martichoras before he joins us on the Battleground.
