History Characters / SmiteArthurianPantheon

* IconicWeapon: In an aversion, Lancelot's signature weapon is the mythical blade Arondight, but it existed as a buyable item long before he debuted. Since it's staying that way and is no longer exclusive to him, Lancelot has to compensate with a JoustingLance.

The people and mythological characters of the king Arthur old tales which are playable in ''SMITE''. The Myth/ArthurianLegend page deals with and can provide beneficent information about their real world counterparts.

* Her passive is ''Empowered Blade'', marks both enemies and herself with Symbols of Mind, Body, Soul, Spirit, and Matter when using her basic abilities. For each Symbol she marks herself with, Morgan's magical power is increased, and if she can get all 5 symbols, she temporarily doubles the power gained and reduces the cooldown of ''Consuming Power''. She loses all gathered symbols on death or after the temporary buff from obtaining all 5 wears off.
* Her first ability is ''Sigil Mastery'', which summons a magical sword that crashes into the ground, creating a sigil at the impact point and marking enemies hit. Morgan can choose to imbue the sword with the power of Mind, inflicting Fear on marked enemies and forcing them to run from the sigil, the power of Body, which slows enemies in the sigil, or the power of Soul, which creates a decoy that attacks marked enemies.
* Her second ability, ''Dragonflight'', summons a dragon apparition to damage and knock up enemies in an area in front of her before flying forward to damage and knock back enemies, marking enemies with the Mark of Spirit.
* Her third ability is the ''Shroud of Wildfire'' which sends out a blast of fire that explodes on enemy gods, inflicting damage over time and marking them with the Mark of Matter. If the enemy uses a movement ability before the debuff wears off, they take an additional burst of damage. Morgan gains a boost of speed after using the ability and she can extend the burn with her basic attacks.
* Her ultimate ''Consuming Power'', consumes any Marks on enemies in a cone in front of her (Damaging enemies for each Mark consumed) before firing three blasts of dark energy that damages enemies. Morgan is healed based on her own missing health for each enemy God hit (which is reduced if more than one god is hit with a single blast) and consuming Marks increases the size of the projectiles.

* DarkAgeEurope: Subverted, as Arthur and Merlin's homeland looks surprisingly good despite the living conditions being worse back then. The fact that the Arthurian myths were dated to have appeared shortly after the fall of the Western Roman Empire and thus Antiquity doesn't help matters.

* DemotedToExtra: Not Lancelot himself, but his signature weapon, the mythical blade Arondight, existed as a buyable item long before he debuted. Since it's staying that way and is no longer exclusive to him, Lancelot has to compensate with a JoustingLance.

* MagicKnight: In the vein of Ao Kuang or Freya, she is a mage who also gives off a more physical-vibe and visually fits this even better due to wearing armor, though in practice she is far more akin to a mage than them due to having a variety of long-ranged abilities and always having a ranged basic attack.

* ShoutOut: One of his taunt lines is [[VideoGame/EldenRing "Put your foolish ambitions to rest!"]]

* FireIceLightning: But only the latter a little bit. It's really replaced by Arcane with regards to Merlin.
* FlingALightIntoTheFuture: [[spoiler:Legend of Camelot's lore says that Excalibur is of this trope, from Merlin taking as much power he could of the gods that were destroyed before into the form of that blade.]]
* {{Forgiveness}}: At the end of the Legend of Camelot event storyline, [[spoiler: he stops Arthur from finishing off Jormungandr despite the fact that the serpent was responsible for the destruction of his own race. Merlin says that he bears no hate for Jormungandr, understanding that he was only acting according to his own nature and beliefs.]]
* GoodJobBreakingItHero: Although he did not fully realize it at the time, Merlin put the world into greater jeopardy when he helped defeat Jormungandr in Legend of Camelot. [[spoiler: The World Serpent was actually maintaining an important cosmic cycle by periodically killing off the gods; without his work, the gods’ unchecked conflicts allowed [[EldritchAbomination Cthulhu]] to slip into reality. The Great Dreamer was eventually contained, but the lingering CosmicFlaw was so serious that Merlin had to later work with [[DragonsAreDivine Tiamat]] and [[OurTitansAreDifferent Atlas]] to RestartTheWorld.]]
* GravityIsPurple: If you interpret his Arcane school as being space-based.

* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: His direct taunt line to King Arthur:

* TouchedByVorlons: He was raised by the Lady of the Lake, and thus gained various supernatural powers from growing up in the fae realm. This is reflected by the blue light emanating from his lance and shield, as well as the way his horse becomes ethereal in his ''Shining Gallop'' ability.

* TallDarkAndHandsome: As the quintessential dashing knight, he has long, dark brown hair that complements his pale skin.
* TouchedByVorlons: He was raised by the Lady of the Lake, and thus gained various supernatural powers from growing up in the fae realm. The developers have stated their intention to include nods to this in his abilities.

* SupernaturalIsPurple: As a great enchantress her eyes and outfit are suffused with purple. Since she is also aiming to be a queen, this overlaps with [[PurpleIsPowerful Purple is Powerful.]]

** Lancelot's third unmounted ability is ''Mount Up'', which switches Lancelot into Mounted stance, increasing his movement speed and giving him a shield that builds up over time. If this shield is broken, Lancelot is forced back into Unmounted stance, and Lancelot can cancel the ability to enter Unmounted stance without putting ''Mount Up'' on cooldown.

One of King Arthur's closest allies, Lancelot is one of the most important members of the Round Table. Raised by the Lady of the Lake, Viviane, Lancelot proved himself to be unmatched in the arts of swordplay and jousting, allowing him to achieve respect and power from the people of Camelot. Despite this, he is also instrumental in causing the kingdom's downfall, as his affair with Arthur's wife, Guinevere, allowed for Mordred to rise to power.\\\
