History Characters / SmiteNorsePantheon

* BladeOnAStick: He carries his mighty Gungnir.

* His first ability is ''Dart'', in which he dashes forward, damaging and slowing enemies. He will pass through all minions, but will stop when he collides with an enemy god. Additionally, the cooldown for ''Dart'' is reduced by two seconds for each enemy god hit by his other abilities. The ''Bristlebush Acorn'' increases Ratatoskr's critical hit rate, gives ''Dart'' increased damage, the ability to deal critical hits and temporarily increase Ratatoskr's lifesteal and basic attack damage after hitting an enemy god.

* His second ability, ''Flurry'', has him spin around in a flurry of attacks, damaging and reducing physical protections. The ''Thickbark Acorn'' increases Ratatoskr's protections, grants him a second cast of ''Flurry'', and allows Ratatoskr to steal protections from enemy gods with ''Flurry'' instead of simply reducing them.

* His passive, ''Acorn of Yggdrasil'', grants him the exclusive item Magic Acorn that takes up one of his item slots. This acorn can be upgraded anywhere on the map through the item store, and each upgraded acorn has their own passive bonuses on top of general increases in power and movement speed.
* His first ability is ''Dart'', in which he dashes forward, damaging and slowing enemies. He will pass through all minions, but will stop when he collides with an enemy god. Additionally, the cooldown for ''Dart'' is reduced by two seconds for each enemy god hit by his other abilities.
* His second ability, ''Flurry'', has him spin around in a flurry of attacks, damaging and reducing physical protections.
* His third ability, ''Acorn Blast'', fires a blast of three acorns in a cone, dealing damage. Enemies are dealt more damage if they hit more than one acorn, and are stunned if hit with all three.

* MythologyGag: In his directed taunts, he reminds Odin of how he will be swallowed by the “unbound wolf” Fenrir and asks Freya about the whereabouts of her brother Freyr (in Norse mythology, Freyr is destined to fight against and be killed by Surtr). One of his jokes is a direct reference to his past as the Fire Giant jungle boss.
--> ''“Do you expect some kind of special reward upon my death?”''
* {{Gotterdammerung}}: What he is trying to bring about.
* GrievousHarmWithABody: In his ''Giant's Grasp'' ability, he can grab enemy minions or Fiery Imps to throw at his opponents.

The infernal guardian and ruler of Múspell, Surtr is one of the Jötunn, a race of nightmarish giants the Aesir frequently fight against. With his mighty blade, Surtr is said to inevitably come to clash with the Norse gods during their final battle, bringing ruin to the realms with his hellish might. However, the identity of Surtr has been one of frequent hardship within the world of ''Smite'', reduced to that of a nameless fire giant and frequently slain. Enraged with the abuse he faced at the hands of the divine, Surtr shed his weaker form to inflict his ultimate goal upon the gods: to bring about the age of monsters, and with it, Ragnarok.\\\

* His ultimate, ''Lawbringer'', makes Tyr toss his sword into the air, then perform a leaping attack at the target area, dealing damage in a wide area and slowing enemies.

* ReptilesAreAbhorrent: He's one of the more evil gods in Smite, actively trying to bring forth Ragnarok, and his voice lines and announcer pack make it clear he fully intends to make sure all gods perish during Ragnarok.

* SillinessSwitch: His Plushie skin, which makes him a goofy stuffed animal, and his World Kitty skin, where he basically becomes [[MemeticMutation longcat]]. His Splyce skin can also qualify due to the ability to hear the bringer of Ragnarok talk like a competitive Smite player and mention watching anime and eating ice cream.

--> "[=HiRezKelly=] is Ymir favorite!"[[note]][=HiRezKelly=] is a former [=Hi-Rez=] employee and streamer who's most used god was Ymir and became heavily associated with him.[[/note]]

* MagicKnight: One of the few magical melee deities (alongside post-rework Ao Kuang). Freya
can temporarily turn her attack style into ranged [=AoE=] and be played like a magical Hunter, and when ''Irradiate'' is active she deals a lot of damage with her normal close-range attacks.

* NoSell: No one in Smite can make an entire team immune to crowd-control for a short duration and severely disappoint enemies like Hel can.

* CrutchCharacter: Loki is often terrifying to new players, but to everyone else he is only annoying at worst. Loki's whole strategy relies constantly on the element of surprise which is much harder to carry out the if the enemy team is paying close attention to Loki... Which is always likely considering he is often thought of as the Smite equivalent of [[VideoGame/LeagueOfLegends Teemo]]. Even if Loki successfully makes his surprise attack he has to be sure to get away, which can be hard to outright impossible if he is surrounded by enemies. And as useful as Loki's invisibility is, It is also his only means of escape and he can still be hurt ''and'' be hit by crowd control whilst invisible. Loki is incredibly vulnerable to good AOE attacks, which quite a few gods have, and is helpless against crowd control, something that ''several'' gods in Smite have. Even after his rework, he remains this and often the only time you will see Loki in causal matches.

* HookHand: His Privatyr skin's left hand is replaced with a hook.

* MightyGlacier: He's actually one of the slowest gods, movement wise, but his abilities are actually fairly damaging for a guardian, and his innate tankiness means it will take a lot to put him down

* ChainmailBikini: It covers a little more than standard, but still leaves her plenty exposed enough.

* DynamicEntry: It's rarely more dynamic than a giant snake crashing up from the ground. His Submerge ability and The World Serpent ultimate ''both'' apply to previous statement.

* MagicKnight: One of the few magical melee deities (alongside post-rework Ao Kuang). Freya can temporarily turn her attack style into ranged [=AoE=] and be played like a magical Hunter, and when ''Irradiate'' is active she deals a lot of damage with her normal close-range attacks.
* MediumAwareness: Just like you might expect her [[GamerGirl videogame-themed Pixel Buster skin]] has this, referring to wards as "noob radar" and asking you to buy more pots when purchasing consumables.

** In Light Stance, ''Stance Attunement'' increases Hel's healing by up to 20%.

** Her first ability in Light Stance is ''Restoration'', which fires a projectile that deals damage to the first enemy it hits and heals Hel.

** Her third ability in Light Stance, ''Inspire'', heals all nearby allies and increases their movement speed for several seconds.

* BareYourMidriff: The default, Valkyrie, Pixel Buster, and Ordo Aurora skins leave Freya's stomach uncovered.

* NoPronunciationGuide: The "-r" suffix in his name is a holdover of Old Norse orthography, and would normally be dropped or at least treated as silent. Doesn't stop all references, both in-game and by WordOfGod, from actively pronouncing it.

!!Upcoming

-->'''Fafnir (when transforming into a dragon):''' I can't resist this curse any longer!
-->'''Fafnir (when reverting to dwarf form):''' No! Why can't this strength last forever?

* PromotedToPlayable: Surtr marks the first instance in MOBA history where a BonusBoss is turned into a fully playable and purchasable character. As a matter of fact, many of his attack animations are reused from his Fire Giant boss kit.

* {{Götterdämmerung}}: What he is trying to bring about.

* {{Gotterdammmerung}}: What he is trying to bring about.

* PromotedToPlayable: Surtr marks the first instance in MOBA history where a BonusBoss is turned into a fully playable and purchasable character.

* AscendedExtra: For years, Surtr was the Fire Giant, a jungle boss meant to be slain for the powerful buff he dropped. Now he is set to become a playable character hell-bent on taking revenge against the gods who have tortured him.

* EvilSoundsDeep: His voice is quite booming and menacing in his teaser trailer.

* OurGiantsAreDifferent: While he is a Jötunn like Ymir, Surtr is a Fire Giant as opposed to a Frost Giant and hails from the fiery realm of Muspelheim.

* PromotedToPlayable: Surtr marks the first instance in MOBA history where a BonusBoss is turned into a full blown playable and purchasable character.

* TheManyDeathsOfYou: This happens to Surtr in his reveal cinematic, where he repeatedly dies at the hands of various gods. Here, he is smited by Anubis, shot down by Ishtar, slashed by Amaterasu, cleaved through by Gilgamesh, and is finally targeted by a whole team of gods when he transforms.

* Surtr's ''Obsidian Flesh'' passive has him drop fragments of his flesh after losing a portion of his health. Surtr can pick up these fragments by walking over them or by hitting them with ''Emberwalk'''s ring of fire to gain a temporary Protection increase and health regen. However, enemies can also pick up the fragments to deny Surtr of their benefits.
* His first ability, ''Flames Of Muspell'' has him ignite his sword, gaining Haste for a few seconds or until landing an auto attack. Landing an attack with the blazing sword will deal fixed Magic damage, light the enemy ablaze for additional Physical damage, and summon a Fiery Imp to attack enemies. If a burning enemy dies for any reason, the ability's Magic damage is increased for the remainder of the match.

Surtr is a Warrior who unleashes his blazing might across the battlefield, making sure his enemies do not escape his infernal wrath.
* Surtr's ''Obsidian Flesh'' passive has him drop fragments of his flesh after losing a portion of his health. Surtr can pick up these fragments by walking over them or by hitting them with ''Emberwalk'''s ring of fire to gain a temporary Protection increase and health regen. However, enemies can also pick up the fragments to deny Surtr of their benefits.
* His first ability, ''Flames Of Muspell'' has him ignite his sword, gaining Haste for a few seconds or until landing an auto attack. Landing an attack with the blazing sword will deal fixed Magic damage, light the enemy ablaze for additional Physical damage, and summon a Fiery Imp to attack enemies. If a burning enemy dies for any reason, the ability's Magic damage is increased for the remainder of the match.
* His second ability, ''Giant's Grasp'', has him grab an enemy minion or a Fiery Imp (or pull out a magma rock if neither are in range) and launch it forwards, damaging and stunning enemies hit. Magma rocks will stop on the first target hit, while thrown minions and imps will pierce through enemy minions. Imps will also explode when they reach the maximum throw distance or hit an enemy god.
* His third ability, ''Emberwalk'', has Surtr send out a ring of flame around him that follows his movement for a few seconds. Enemies hit take a burst of damage and are slowed when they first touch the ring, and take continuous damage over time if they stay inside it when it's fully formed. Afterwards, the ring will contact, dealing a second burst of damage and slowing effect on the way in. Surtr also gains a movement speed increase for the duration, which is improved for each enemy hit while it's active.
* His ultimate, ''End Of Days'', has him leap into the sky after a short channel, turning into a large meteor before falling towards a targeted area to deal heavy damage and knock up enemies hit. On the way down, meteorites will break off of Surtr's meteor, dealing damage and spawning Fiery Imps.

Surtr is the first god to be released in Season 10 of ''Smite'', with the season itself serving to celebrate the game's tenth anniversary.
