SMITE Introduces Charon, the Legendary Ferryman of the Greek Underworld
In the latest update of the popular online multiplayer game SMITE, players can now join the battles alongside the formidable new God, Charon. Known as the Ferryman in Greek mythology, Charon takes command of his legendary boat, becoming a unique addition to the game’s roster.
Charon’s Arrival and the Season of Souls
Back in June, Charon’s arrival had a profound impact on the Conquest Map, immersing it in the depths of the Greek Underworld and marking the beginning of the Season of Souls. Now, this fearsome character is here in person, ready to guide both allies and enemies to their ultimate rest.
The Role of Charon: The Guardian of Souls
Charon, the hooded wraith and Ferryman of Greek lore, has a significant role in SMITE. No other God can compel him to disembark from his boat, making him a unique Guardian character in the game. With his trusty large oar, Charon gracefully navigates the battleground, serving as a constant presence.
Collecting the Souls of the Dead
True to his eternal task, Charon is relentless in collecting the souls of deceased mortals. In SMITE, he acquires the spirits of slain minions, guiding them to his base. Once there, he converts the souls into health, displaying his mastery over the realm of the dead.
Charon’s Powers and Abilities
Charon’s connection to the River Styx grants him extraordinary powers in the game. He can pluck souls from the river and project them, utilizing their energy to his advantage. Moreover, Charon possesses the ability to summon the entire Underworld river, conjuring a colossal tidal wave. This unique skill covers the entire length of the battleground, thanks to its impressive global range.
A Versatile Guardian with Crowd Control
As an aggressive Guardian, Charon wields the potential to inflict substantial damage upon his adversaries. Additionally, he boasts a wide array of crowd control abilities, including silencing, slowing, rooting, and even instilling fear in his enemies through the power of the Styx. To enhance his capabilities, recommended items for Charon include Gladiator’s Shield and Stone of Binding.
