ATLANTA – FEBRUARY 21 – SMITE’s Season of Monsters continues today with the “Manticore King” Update dominated by the new playable God Martichoras and more Magic: The Gathering characters.
Here are the full Update Notes: https://www.smitegame.com/news/the-manticore-king-10-2-update-notes/

SMITE has just doubled up on Magic: The Gathering content!
When Year 10 launched in January, the action-MOBA game introduced five characters from the card game classic with an exceptional Crossover. Today, five more iconic Planeswalkers have traveled to the mythological battleground as incredible God skins.
-
Teferi the chronarch becomes Chronos, Keeper (and manipulator) of Time
-
Vivien Reid, born for the hunt and aided by creatures of the wild, becomes Artemis with her loyal boar
-
An anonymous swordswoman but actually the rightful ruler of Kamigawa, the Wandering Emperor is Mulan
-
Nissa Revane is the Egyptian Goddess of Magic Eset
-
Nicol Bolas, Dragon-God, is Tiamat – and maybe he always has been, considering their striking resemblance
Each skin can be purchased either directly for 1200 gems or in a chest for 600 gems. The event also includes a new batch of FREE rewards for all players, and cosmetics such as the ‘Nope’ Global Emote, a perfect fit for counterspell players.

The monstrous Manticore King Martichoras has officially become the latest SMITE Hunter.
This long-range and high-burst predator was revealed last week in a cinematic trailer. Players can also deep dive into his ability kit, identity, and creation process with this Closer Look blog post written by Lead Designer AJ Walker.
A figure from both mythology and SMITE’s own history, Martichoras was the first-ever tutorial boss in the game, known as the Manticore. He was then featured in cosmetics, maps, and even in an April Fool’s joke video. Ten years later, he has now returned as Martichoras, The Manticore King, to claim revenge – much like Surtr, the Fire Giant, for the launch of this Season of Monsters last month.

Have you ever wished for a store filter labeled “What I want, but cheaper”? This is exactly what SMITE’s all-new ‘Mythical Market’ does!
The Mythical Market is an in-game store presenting players with personalized cosmetic bundles created based on each player’s own tastes. The bundles are always substantially discounted – but act fast because this store is a limited time event. This feature is an upgraded and improved version of the machine learning that powers the popular Daily Deals.
