* Her third ability, ''Magma Rush'', puts Pele in an amplified state, damaging nearby enemies and increasing her movement speed while active. Rather than a cooldown, ''Magma Rush'' instead uses a special fuel gauge; the ability has an initial cost before draining fuel over time, and cannot be used when too low. Firing it again while it is already active puts her in a further amplified state, increasing the damage and movement speed even further at the cost of draining fuel much faster.

* HollywoodNatives: Averted, they are portrayed as quite civilized and intellectual.

* {{Shapeshifting}}: {{Averted}}, despite it being a known ability of his in the lore. He actually references it in one of his jokes.

* NotEvenBotheringWithTheAccent: Averted. Pele clearly has an accent which we can assume to be (native) Hawaiian.

One of the great folk heroes of Polynesian mythology, Maui exists as a celebrated figure across Polynesia, with the tales of his exploits being known and loved by all. Be it fishing up the islands of New Zealand and Hawaii, giving the gift of fire to humanity after stealing it from Mahuika, or slowing down the sun to ensure humanity had longer days, much of Maui's actions ultimately helped humanity find its place within the hostile lands they called home. Even with these good traits, Maui also isn't averse to using trickery and deception to his advantage, using his magical abilities and raw strength to ensure that in the end, he is the one standing above all.\\\

* HulaAndLuaus: Inevitable, given the culture used.

* BareYourMidriff: Her outfit doesn't cover her stomach one bit.

Maui is of the Guardian class, using his trickery and mastery of fishing to keep his foes from escaping.

* His passive, ''Manaiakalani'', marks enemy gods near him when they're hit by hard CC. Hitting a marked enemy with a basic attack empowers his next attack, causing all gods hit to be pulled towards him. Afterwards, the passive goes on cooldown.
* His first ability, ''Master Fisherman'', has him charge up a hook toss (with increased range based on charge time) that damages enemies and stops on the first enemy god hit. The hooked enemy is Crippled and slowly pulled towards Maui for 1.5 seconds.
* His second ability, ''Mystical Ulua'', creates a field of magic water that increases the protections and movement speed of allied gods near the landing point. Inside the Ulua is a pillar of water that allies can stand in to be transported to Maui's location and gain/refresh the buffs. The field lasts for 10 seconds or until Maui moves away from the field while nobody is in the pillar.
* His third ability, ''Solar Swing'', has him leap onto a ray of sunlight and swing back and forth before slamming to the ground to damage and stun nearby enemies.
* His ultimate, ''Landfall'', targets a large area and has him leap into the air and channel for a moment. When the channel completes, he pulls an island up from under the targeted area, damaging enemies and launching them to Maui's location. The island remains on the battlefield for a few seconds, preventing anyone from passing through it.

----
* BuildingSwing: His third ability ''Solar Swing'', in which he uses his hook to latch onto a part of the sun and swing before landing.
* DynamicEntry: Whenever he chooses to land with his third ability, he'll slam down and cause nearby enemies to be stunned.
* GeoEffects: His ultimate ability ''Landfall'' has him pull a whole island out of the ground which blocks anyone from passing through, much like Ymir's wall.
* GrapplingHookPistol: His fish hook acts as one in his third ability.
* HeroicBuild: As befitting a demigod hero who is strong enough to pull islands out of the sea.
* HooksAndCrooks: Naturally, with Maui wielding his fish hook Manaiakalani as his primary weapon. The [[BladeOnARope rope]] attached to it not only increases the range of his basic attacks, but also allows him to reel in enemies and swing around the map.
* MakingASplash: His second ability ''Mystical Ulua'' has him launch an elemental ulua fish that creates a magical watery field. If allies stand in the pillar of water at the center of this field, they'll be ensconced in a bubble and transported to Maui's location.
* SuperStrength: In his teaser trailer, he uses his fish hook to pull back the sun and haul up an entire island from the sea without breaking a sweat. Said island-hauling is also the basis of his ultimate ability.
* TricksterGod: Maui has often meddled with nature and made trouble for the gods, but unlike Loki his tricks are meant to ensure humanity's comfort.
* WalkingShirtlessScene: He wears a grass cape, but it doesn't do much to cover his impressive physique.
* YouWillNotEvadeMe: Quite a bit of his kit, with two abilities and a passive based around pulling enemies towards him, and a third built around pulling ''allies'' towards him.

The goddess of fire and volcanoes and the creator of the Hawaiian islands, Pele is a figure that exists primarily within the region of Hawaii, being revered among its native people as a symbol of their culture. One of the children of Kane Milohai and Haumea, she is often seen as the figure responsible for the islands' natural beauty, being often prayed to should one witness a particularly beautiful area of nature. However, as her fiery, volcanic home might suggest, she is also a god capable of extreme violence, with her short temper and pyrokinetic abilities ensuring all opposing her will be burnt to a crisp.
