The latest goddess from SMITE has arrived, coming straight from the underworld. Izanami returns as a living corpse to the battlefield.
Izanami, the Matron of the Dead
At HiRez, it was time to release a new goddess once again. To broaden the Japanese pantheon that was introduced earlier this year, Izanami was recently added to the PC version.
This goddess oversees the underworld after dying during the birth of the fire god – after all, such a child of fire sounds even more painful than a normal birth. However, Izanami is fed up with dragging only 1000 souls into the realm of the dead every day – now she wants to catch gods.
Let’s take a look at the abilities of the latest huntress, Izanami:
- The passive ability Death Draws Nigh ensures that Izanami becomes stronger the closer she is to death. For every 15% lost health, she gains 4% physical penetration, up to a maximum of 20%. Additionally, her projectiles (scythes) return at the end of their flight and deal damage again.
- With Sickle Storm, Izanami’s attack speed increases for 6 seconds, her basic attack damage is doubled and increased by an additional amount, but the scythes no longer return. The ability can be canceled early.
- Spectral Projection sends an image of Izanami in a straight line forward, damaging and slowing all enemy targets in a straight line. If an enemy dies under this effect, the slow from all subsequent attacks increases by 6%, up to a maximum of 30%.
- Izanami’s movement ability is Fade Away. She becomes invisible and then jumps to a target position. The invisibility lasts a few seconds or until she deals or receives damage.
- Izanami’s ultimate is Dark Portal. At a target position, Izanami opens a portal that deals high damage and silences all enemies for a few seconds.
