It will be insanely funny to see at the start people sitting in wall for too long and they won't pay attention to their HP and will rush on you with 20% :D
Yeah it needs to be added to. When it was released it was nerfed so they could just sit in the wall for 10+ seconds. Bs tbh. They need to have it set at a percentage of your max HP.
Honestly, disappointed with the reveal cinematic... But hey, gatta make a Spooky Ghost character during October, might as well bastardize a diety of Love and Beauty known for Healing and Protection while doing it, amiright?

Im just waiting for the lore lady to be like"welcome to the smite god reveal for cliodhna the queen of the banshees".with her super awsome voice and music
That red skin better make it into the game. And like Aphrodite with Venus she better get an alternate that depicts her as the love goddess she sometimes is.
Well, I'm glad the devs are starting to bring truly unique game mechanics into the game again.. If they fix their atrocious matchmaking system next, I'm satisfied

Perfect time to release this one, Halloween 😭 gonna scared the hell outta me lmao but honestly she looks great and fun, can’t wait for her to be released
I would say "step on me", but uh... she doesn't have legs. In all seriousness this character is freaking awesome. Her visual design and kit are top notch along with her themeing and character.
A jumpscaring God? I already am screaming through the whole house when I'm running away with low HP, so now I'm gonna scream even louder... This is gonna be fun!
I wish ppl who interact with walls had some interaction with her. Even if its just like chernobog dashes into the wall and shes just chilling there next to him lol
So just a heads up, she is NOT unhittable in a wall. Attacks that go through walls (such as anubis' Foul Breath & Sexy Bedtime Eyes) seem to be able to damage and kill her. Source: caught a banshee with bad breath right after she walked into the wall. Nothing will save you from the lord of the dead. Nothing.
I want an interaction between Cleodhna and Janus where when Janus portals through a wall Cleodhna in, he simply says “Hi” or if its an enemy Cleodhna, she can say “are you sure about that?” Hirez, give the people what they want.
Hold up. I haven't been following the WoW lore ever since the lore became kind of a clusterfuck that disgusts me. But is it true that Sylvanas is SERIOUSLY DEAD this time? For good?
so when you get deafen does voice chat also get silenced or is it just silly ol ingame sounds which will prevent you from dodging a thana ult more accuratly but also deafening vc could be funny like sorry i didnt hear you banshi deafend me
It's so great to see my namesake represented in something! Although Smite is slightly off with the pronounciation I forgive them because it's closer than 95% of people get.
I finally tried this god last night and after 3 games I went 17/2/6 XD being a OG rogue player in WOW I think I found my new soon to be diamond 😂! I haven't been excited about new gods for years but this one takes the cake for me!
Please Help .!!! What does her Dagger Cool down mean for passive Abilities . Why does the Dagger have a cool down? What happens when fully charge ? Life steal??
Will deafen be impactful enough to be considered a CC? Audio coordination usually comes with trying to prepare for anything bad that will happen. But given they're deafening you with a shriek, I imagine you don't need audio to see what's happening at that point. Perhaps if deafen made it feel like you lost communication by taking away your sight of allied units, treating your vision on them like enemy units for the duration.
@@Worlik99 Ra. I'll agree with you on. Thanatos gives you a marker, though. For that slight duration of deafness, you know that Thanatos is coming down.
Technically I’m related to her lol I discovered my family name “O’Keeffe” (O’Caoim) goes back to an old Irish clan who ruled over the Kingdom of Munster, Ireland, from the 6th to 9th centuries. The family claimed to be descended from the goddess Clíodhna, the Fairy Queen, who married a chieftain Caomh (O’Keeffe)
@@colino5056 I can not disclose full names as that would be rather rude of me to speak for them. But there's a family with the last name forge there's also a few perry and a few connells. Along with your family of course.
I saw the title of the video and thought "Oh cool! A Celtic Healer/Support! Maybe she'll get an ability that grants vision of enemies to her allies so that they are aware of ganks, and another that provides a shield when an ally would take lethal damage allowing them a moment to disengage or to finish the fight before they die; that'll be cool." Instead, they made her an assassin who focuses on DPS instead of team support. Cool gameplay, but it just feels off a bit to have her dealing damage instead of healing (I mean, she could have had birds that heal you with birdsong!)... An interesting approach, to be sure, just not the direction I'd have thought to take her in. Looking forward to when they eventually bring in Lugh, Balor, Queen Medb, and - if not connected to Queen Medb - Finnbhennach and Donn Cuailnge (who are known to have taken the forms of incredibly fertile stud bulls). It may not be how I would prefer, but I am glad they're adding more Celtic divinity to their tales. Also, Ishtar and Ereshkigal when? : P
Why does it feel like Sylvanas Windrunner would like a word with the on who is the Banshee Queen( sorry my first thoughts when I saw her and secondly I already feel like right now in 2 Banshee queens now)
Actually, I think Cliodhna has stayed under the radar for so long because Celtic Mythology wasn't overexposed with exception of a few (such as Cu Chulainn). I understand your first thought when it reminds you of Sylvanas first, but Cliodhna really was the OG Banshee Queen, pretty sure the WC3 designers took notes from Cliodhna when they made the Banshee units, and then promoted Sylvanas into their queen.
She can turtle up in a wall and dash to wherever which gives her vision and the enemies can't even sense her in the walls... this will be a nightmare to balance for sure.
The wall does an increasing % Dmg to her health overtime, She cannot enter a Wall if crippled or below 25% or so HP, There's also a 2-3sec delay before you can enter a Wall as well as a solid cooldown
@@imabirdo I could argue the same for any Diver with CC, Only difference here is sound ques and icons being present. Not to mention she can't be sneaky in walls, You get an icon, And a sound que, She rapidly loses health by a % gain that increases overtime meaning she's easily punished if she decides to camp inside, If done at the wrong timing she's punished again by waiting for the timer
It will be insanely funny to see at the start people sitting in wall for too long and they won't pay attention to their HP and will rush on you with 20% :D
Its really not that strong u can chill pretty long and set up your ambush.
Yeah it needs to be added to. When it was released it was nerfed so they could just sit in the wall for 10+ seconds. Bs tbh. They need to have it set at a percentage of your max HP.

That’s extremely cool. I kinda wanna try
Same I stopped like in June I might try it again hopefully I don’t get addicted again
