She's a combination of Neith and Serqet in design and her Jolt move looks like a combination of how they move. I wish they would've given this design and that ability to an Egyptian goddess who was related to Neith and Serqet, but that's honestly the only thing I can nitpick about. I'm really excited to play her because she looks like a lot of fun.
She's so fun to play! Although I can't shake the feeling that her ultimate took some major inspiration from a feathery little friend from a not so popular video game lol
I wish they included the Bull of Heaven and something else to hint at her legend of going to the underworld. This kit was nothing like what I would’ve expected for the goddess Ishtar to look like.

A better ultimate would’ve been her firing the Sacred Bull towards an enemy. Causing the Bull to push back enemies and at the end, using its horns to cause one of the below: A) further knock back and slow B) push up into the air and protection decrease Or C) slam into the ground and stun. But that’s just me. The sacred bull was her ultimate last resort. INANNA!
@@KingOfYamimakai he's high chance he's wild man and a demigod and he's has strong relationships with animal's and the wilds plus he's warrior similar to gilgamesh
All these new gods have complex kits with loads of skills and abilities, and then you just get your basic released gods....I can't help but feel something needs to be addressed with the older gods. They're being completely left behind
Flavorwise, yes, but often old gods are simpler to balance, yet, incredibly effective. They gave Zeus 1 buff and he immediately saw spl usage and won for the first time in years. Artemis isn't very complex, 2 or 3 buffs and she's a Meta pick
Fun fact: inanna/istars brother is the sun god utu and istar also tried to romance Gilgamesh but failed her sister is the god of death she also is Associated with lions from a source I heard
@@suunnaaaa Literally the cult of Ishtar migrated to Greece creating Aphrodite and Aries, splitting war and love. Its also why Aphro has a completely different birth in comparison to the other greek gods as she was made from Oranos' balls dropping into the sea.
Wouldn't be surprised, a lot of deities in many pantheon have same god title (e.g Zeus-Thor = god of Thunder). The diff was how they were worshipped back then (e.g Zeus was king of god /Olympus, Thor was merely an Aesir)
I would like to share one of Ishtar’s spectacular poems with those not familiar, she truly walked so Shakespeare could RUN. “My vulva, the horn, The Boat of Heaven, Is full of eagerness like the young moon.

I will drink your fresh milk. Let the milk of the goat flow in my sheepfold. Fill my holy churn with honey cheese. Lord Dumuzi, I will drink your fresh milk.” -Ishtar 👄
I mean its Ishtar going to war but like so much thunder attacks which is weird, kind of wish they gave a reference to the bull of heaven and the time she destroyed a mountain range for being more beautiful than her.
Hey Smite! I have an idea of another Creature you can add to the game I think adding the winged horse of legend would be a seismically stellar! way for the community to soar towards the stars! plus if your going to have the hell hound of hades, I think its only fitting to have the heavenly horse of hope. so we be soaring unfettered & free.
I meant the abilities not the design xD. Gilg summons the weapons from his vault making him an archer class. They tend to be gold in design similar to her “heavenly magic” The Ishtar from the FGO Babylonian series shot out energy from her fingers right? Similar to Apollo in smite
Idk looks cool but I don't understand why hi-rez is so obsessed with multi choice abilities. Like why is her 1st ability 3 different attacks. Every new God has this stupid feature. Most of the time it's just some lazy quirk.
I know people were joking that she was a Neith remodel... but jeez her silhouette and the way she holds her bow +basic attack animations are reaaaaallyyyy similar to Neith. I definitely think she is one of the weakest visual designs Smite has put out in a long time too. Hot fantasy lady with a bow and arrow isn't exactly new for Smite. Her aesthetics are on point, but I personally find her costume design lacking. However I do like her more unique facial structure, compared to the other female gods. Tall and angular features akin to Persephone's face design, as opposed to the more commonly used short and round designs of most female gods. 6/10 for me. Edit 2: Also should've mentioned her kit. It's neat, for a hunter. I'm not up to speed with duel meta but her 1v1 potential seems insane. Edited: words
Sadly it's true. In a lot of her depictions she's shown with wings and a huge crown with lots of horns, but they decided to go a safer route. One of the devs commented on the Neith comparisons and said that they think she stands out from Neith so it's whatever I guess.
Neith: You’re just a cheap knockoff.
Ishtar: Oh no no no... I’m the upgrade.
The difference is one is a spoil brat that can't handle being rejected while the other is in charge of life span.
Boys reference appreciated

Even in Smite, Ishtar's still an Archer.
Didn't come with her 'useless goddess' plaque though. I am disappointed.
Sometimes i think they made a good call not allowing the players to rotate the camera around the goddess/god we're playing.

@Wolvengard MMD Inanna is older doofus.
This Neith skin comes with many many buffs
With Gilgamesh and now Ishtar being in the game, I really wish they would have Skins from Fate/stay.

power creep is inevitable sadly
I'm just waiting for Enkidu to drop so that the fate fans can say "it ain't gay if It's clay"
2 big reasons why I need to main her
🤨📸
Because she's a hunter with a cool personality, right..?
@@Peavesey WRONG!!!
Two beautiful reasons 😆
Looking like human Medusa
Fate Collab when???? We Got Gil, Ishtar, Arthur, Merlin, Tiamat
Heck we also have Cu Culainn, Hercules, medusa and Morgana, all we need is Medea and Kojiro to get the original cast
LoL... What a weeb 😆😆🤣🤣🤣
so she has a mesmerize, root, stun, cripple and cc immunity? don’t worry neith had a pretty cool root and a stun on a long animation ult
You forgot the Dash and Reach.
at the same time, she is one of the only gods in recent memory to not have a slow :)
@@Korvisio that’s what frostbounds for…
Ishtar with crit and and high attack speed is just insane. She's literally Neith on steroids.
👁️👁️ looking respectfully
Aphrodite and ishtar meet.
"Hey me, how is me?!" XD
Unable to fight each other due to being the same deity
FGO enter to the chat
Her dash seems easily to predict and counter, seems like a fun & interesting character to master!
Just mastered! She’s one of my fav hunters
We neeeeeeeed a fate go skin crossover
Lore lady needs to start selling audio books
Fun fact: inanna/istars brother is the sun god utu and istar also tried to romance Gilgamesh but failed her sister is the god of death she also is Associated with lions from a source I heard

I bet as the god of love and war
All will be completely fair and balanced when she is released.

Seriously, though, I don't see why her Sacred Bull wasn't her Ultimate.
2:35 Guessing they didn't want to call it Gate of Babylon
I really, really like envenomed deathbringer. Still, this might be one of the few characters that I would build malicious instead of envenomed on.
I would like to share one of Ishtar’s spectacular poems with those not familiar, she truly walked so Shakespeare could RUN.
“My vulva, the horn,
The Boat of Heaven,
Is full of eagerness like the young moon.
My untilled land lies fallow.
As for me, Inanna,
Who will plow my vulva?
Who will plow my high field?
Who will plow my wet ground?
As for me, the young woman,
Who will plow my vulva?
Who will station the ox there?
Who will plow my vulva?
...
Make your milk sweet and thick, my bridegroom.
My shepherd, I will drink your fresh milk.
Wild bull, Dumuzi, make your milk sweet and thick.
I will drink your fresh milk.
Let the milk of the goat flow in my sheepfold.
Fill my holy churn with honey cheese.
Lord Dumuzi, I will drink your fresh milk.”
-Ishtar 👄
GENIUS
Oh she’s mother
I never liked poems. But after seeing this I have to say not only i still not like them but now i hate them.
"Wild bull"
Hmm, i see. She like it rough.
After reading that I can understand why they stopped letting women leave the house
Are we gonna have a fate skin?
I mean its Ishtar going to war but like so much thunder attacks which is weird, kind of wish they gave a reference to the bull of heaven and the time she destroyed a mountain range for being more beautiful than her.
Lore lady back at it again with the good word🛐
So other than ishtar what other gods are left to be released this year??
All the gods: You are evil and cunning!
Ishtar: No no I'm just evil and cunning.
Its funny that since she is a hunter they had have 3 fights to show her kit because they all ended so fast
She looks fun to play at least.
Wish the older Gods had their kits looked at. They feel to stale and basic currently.
Fate fans punching the air rn seeing Gilgamesh and now Ishtar not be Japanese but actually look Middle Eastern
Funny things is she still doesn't have Gugalanna anywhere near her. 😂😂😂
@@mamiyonnaise She lost him. Like in FGO
Oh! Wait until we see Einzbern Ishtar in Fate/Strange Fake
Really wish PTS was ready after patch notes so we could just try it out Asap, especially with how little time we have before release.

Look at those honkers
Pretty sure the get noticed.
Hey Smite! I have an idea of another Creature you can add to the game I think adding the winged horse of legend would be a seismically stellar! way for the community to soar towards the stars! plus if your going to have the hell hound of hades, I think its only fitting to have the heavenly horse of hope. so we be soaring unfettered & free.
3:42 We were told that her cone imbue wouldn't add item effects on any other arrows besides her center arrow, so why is she critting multiple times?
Yeah that does give us an actual reason to use that cone as opposed to the lob but I'm guessing its a bug
I’m pretty sure they can crit but not trigger additional item effects, like toxic blade or executioner.
Chernobog and Ishtar will make am excellent couple . Both are hunters and both have horns . More Ymir here and there will be a strong team .
Horn Buddies! 😂
This looks fun! Curious to try her! =D
Ishtar is the best I love the animation it’s so stunning you really brought her to life
Where's Gugalana? Did she lose him again?

I hear ya bro. I’m still waiting for the devs to add the Aztec and Inca pantheons.
She definitely has inspiration from Monster Hunter Bow wielders and Gilgamesh from the Fate series.
Looking forward to playing her
