* {{Lunacy}}: {{Downplayed|Trope}}, she only has one moon-based spell in ''Moonstrike.''

* LordOfTheOcean: Subverted, the game's lore states that she's the goddess of the African rivers.

* Her passive, ''Omi',' has her generate crystals over time that are consumed in order to cast her regular abilities. When buying items, Mana and Mana regeneration increases her maximum Omi, and Cooldown Reduction increases the rate Omi is generated. In addition, her basic attacks can pass through allies, providing them with a very small regeneration effect and increasing the effectiveness of healing for a period of time.

* BilingualBonus: Omi is the word for “water” in the Yoruba language.

* DeployableCover: ''River's Rebuke's'' walls of water prevents both enemy movement and projectiles from going through the walls.

* {{Lunacy}}: {{Downplayed|Trope}}, she only has one moon-based spell.

Yemoja is a Guardian goddess who uses the power of water (and a little bit of the moon) to control the battlefield and keep her allies in the fight longer. Important to note is that she does not use mana for her abilities and only her Ultimate has a cooldown. Instead, her passive ''Omi'' has her generate crystals over time that are consumed for her regular abilities. When buying items, Mana and Mana regeneration increases her maximum Omi, and Cooldown Reduction increases the rate Omi is generated. In addition, her basic attacks can pass through allies, providing them with a very small regeneration effect and increasing the effectiveness of healing for a period of time. Her first ability is split between two separate spells, switching between them each time the ability is used. The first spell is ''Bouncing Bubble'', firing a bubble that bounces twice, damaging and slowing enemies on each hit before splitting into multiple smaller bubbles that deal reduced damage. The second spell, ''Moonstrike'', sends down a wall of moonbeams that damage enemies, working from the outside inwards. The final beam in the centre is the strongest, having an increased radius and stunning whatever is hit, be it god, minion, or structure. Her second ability is ''Mending Waters'', which sends a wave of water that damages enemies that it passes through, with shields taking increased damage. If an ally is hit, the wave will bounce to other nearby allies, healing them and providing a shield. Her third ability is ''Riptide'', which creates a ring of water that launches forward everyone that enters it. Enemies are slowed after being launched, while allies gain movement speed and protections. Allies are launched further than enemies, and placing the ring as far away as possible will launch them backwards instead. Her ultimate, ''River's Rebuke'' summons two gigantic walls of water that block enemy movement and projectiles. After a considerable delay, the waves crash down, damaging, trembling, and inflicting a decaying slow to enemies as well as creating a river that increases Yemoja's Omi regeneration while she's inside it and for a few seconds afterwards.

Olorun is a Mage with a slight Hunter-like emphasis on his Basic Attacks. His passive is ''Touch of Fate'', which gives Olorun Critical Hit Chance based on his magical power as well as slightly better scaling on his basic attacks, although his critical hits aren't as strong as other characters. His first ability is ''Focused Light'', which has Olorun charge up an orb of pure energy to deal damage, with longer charges increasing its range. His second ability is ''Overflowing Divinity'', which is a two-part ability. Firstly, Olorun's attack speed is temporarily enhanced and during this time, Olorun's inner sun begins building charge from successful basic attacks and ''Focused Light''. Secondly, while the buff is active or shortly after it expires, recasting ''Overflowing Divinity'' launches a barrage of the built up energy at a selected area, with higher levels of charge launching more projectiles. Hitting a single target several times deals slightly less damage each time. His third ability ''Consecration'' causes an explosion of light around Olorun, damaging, knocking back and slowing enemies while healing Olorun and his allies. Healing allies also increases Olorun's protections. His ultimate is ''Sanctified Field'', which creates a box of distorted time from divine energy, greatly slowing enemies within it while speeding up Olorun in every possible way, from movement speed to casting time to animations, and even affecting projectiles, buffs, debuffs, etc.

Yemoja is the MotherGoddess of the Yoruba pantheon, the mistress of all waters and rivers and the protector of life. It was she who gave birth to all the Orisha, but she is also considered a patron of childbirth and fertility among mortals. She usually makes her home in the Ogun River, but she has now answered Olorun’s call to protect her children and join the Battleground of the Gods.///

The supreme deity of the Yoruba pantheon, and the god of the sky and heavens. Olorun first created the flicker of light which would be the sun brightening the cosmos, and then sent the Orishas to make the world and all who lived in it. Secure in his might and mastery of the cosmos & time, Olorun is worshipped regardless of his own remoteness, as he usually simply contemplates the many marvels of creation. Olorun is truly one part of a whole, his other two aspects being Olodumare (creator of the universe) and Olofi (the channel between the Earth and the Heavens). Incomparably wise, Olorun does not rashly or without cause, and peacefully avoids fighting aside from great purpose.///

...and with the recent suffering of countless mortals and immortals, the vacant thrones of the pantheons, Olorun realizes that a singular ruler is needed to unite them, and he takes to the field.///

* TimeMaster: His ''Sanctified Field'' ultimate slows down the attacks and movements of enemy gods caught within its area of effect, while speeding up his own. A cinematic trailer shows him slowing a bunch of gods trying to attack him to near uselessness as he walks to an empty throne, before releasing a burst of light not unlike his Consecration ability from his former location to knock them all away.

* AntiArmor: Mending Waters does extra free damage that cannot be mitigated against shields. The damage of Mending Waters is fairly low and is entirely certain to cause more "damage" to an enemy via stripping away their shield if they had one.

* {{Combos}}: It's pretty hard to dodge Moonstrike while you're slowed by Bouncing Bubble...or either of them when Yemoja tosses you to a point that she knows you'll land at when you run into Riptide. It's also pretty tough to run out of River's Rebuke when she uses everything just mentioned to keep you inside it.
* CycleOfHurting: While a CombatMedic, Yemoja is also pretty infamous for being able to repeatedly stun someone unfortunate enough to get hit by Moonstrike if she's at full Omi and has her ultimate helping out.
* DamageDiscrimination: Her basic attacks and all of her abilities, except for Bouncing Bubble/Moonstrike and River’s Rebuke, interact with allies and enemies differently. For example, Mending Waters damages and passes through enemies, while it rebounds off of and provides a shield to allies.
* DeployableCover: River's Rebuke's walls of water prevents both enemy movement and projectiles from going through the walls.
* GeoEffects: River's Rebuke makes two walls of water parallel to each other. These walls will prevent enemy movement and projectiles, while Yemoja will regenerate Omi faster while standing between them and for a short time after leaving their area. The walls will collapse together a few seconds later to cause damage, tremble, and inflict a large, fading slow to any enemies caught between them.

* TheWallsAreClosingIn: River's Rebuke basically evokes it, though in actuality the walls stay entirely still until they suddenly collapse together at the end of their duration.

* ChargedAttack: Focused Light is a very downplayed one - it can be charged longer before releasing to gain more maximum range. Overflowing Divinity works more like a usual one, with the sun that Olorun can summon releasing far more projectiles after he lands basic attacks during the attack speed boost, up to a maximum of twenty attacks landed.

* HealingHands: Consecration can be used to heal both himself and allies around him over time.

* LimitBreak: While in actual gameplay, Santicified Field is just usable after being able to gain a rank in his ultimate like any other god, the description for it has this theme to it with it specifically mentioning the field is created from bringing out his other two aspects, Olodumare and Olofi.
* EnergyBall: Focused Light has him shoot a golden orb outward with a following trail out of both hands put together.
* MagikarpPower: Utterly without inherently mobility options like Zeus, but doesn't do as much damage naturally as Zeus throughout the entire game. Olorun compensates with his passive granting him the ability to later critically strike as well as his ultimate creating a large field that leaves the enemy team far slower while making him way faster - any team would be hard-pressed to defend the Fire Giant's region against their enemy while within it.
* MechanicallyUnusualFighter: Olorun is the only Mage that is capable of critical hits, gaining a tenth of his magical power as critical hit chance after he reaches 150 magical power or more. He can also slow all of his enemy's animations while increasing his own if he or they are in Sanctified Field.

* ThePowerOfTheSun: He made it. With Overflowing Divinity, he can make another small one at a location to damage enemies nearby it.

* TimeMaster: His Sanctified Field ultimate slows down the attacks and movements of enemy gods caught within its area of effect, while speeding up his own. A cinematic trailer shows him slowing a bunch of gods trying to attack him to near uselessness as he walks to an empty throne, before releasing a burst of light not unlike his Consecration ability from his former location to knock them all away.

The supreme deity of the Yoruba pantheon, and the god of the sky and heavens. Olorun first created the flicker of light which would be the sun brightening the cosmos, and then sent the Orishasto make the world and all who lived in it. Secure in his might and mastery of the cosmos & time, Olorun is worshipped regardless of his own remoteness, as he usually simply contemplates the many marvels of creation. Olorun is truly one part of a whole, his other two aspects being Olodumare (creator of the universe) and Olofi (the channel between the Earth and the Heavens). Incomparably wise, Olorun does not rashly or without cause, and peacefully avoids fighting aside from great purpose.

* BigGood: Ever since he descended from the heavens to rule Olympus, Olorun has fulfilled this role. He is wise, benevolent and [[ReasonableAuthorityFigure reasonable,]] always doing his best to coordinate the pantheons’ responses to new threats. Though it is stated that he gets weaker the longer he is separated from the stars, he is still capable of fighting [[EldritchAbomination Cthulhu]] to a standstill when push comes to shove.

* BigDamnHeroes: Arrives just in time to save Olorun and the rest of the group sieging the Underworld.

* TopGod: He is this in the Yoruba religion. He seeks to be the one out of ''all'' of the pantheons to bring about to peace to them and their followers, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9CeX99rBjoM as seen in a cinematic trailer]]. A voiceline from using his ultimate has him regard it as [[https://gamepedia.cursecdn.com/smite_gamepedia/0/02/Olorun_Ability_4b.ogg good proof of his "...True divinity!"]].

* BadassBeard: You can surely trust him to be the king of all of the gods with such a nicely trimmed beard and mustache like that!

* LightIsGood: Olorun is portrayed as going to battle and trying to make himself the TopGod of all the pantheons to bring and end to the conflicts they have caused. Much of his voicelines reflect this, with him (not inaccurately) blaming the many other gods for all the trouble that they have caused to creation.

[[caption-width-right:250:"Use your Omi wisely to fend off enemies while mending the wounds of your allies."]]

[[caption-width-right:250:"Empower yourself and build up charge for your inner sun. Take rule of the battlefield and time itself."]]

* TheCameo: Well, not him, but the chameleon Agemo that's his servant and messenger gets one by appearing heavily but unnamed in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MZdwPqTlJY0 Yemoja's teaser]]. He also claims that Agemo is right there with him on the battlefield for one of his jokes, asking [[ChameleonCamouflage why you don't see him]].

* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: [[spoiler: Leads the charge to rescue Zeus and the other gods Persephone captured in the lore.]]

* ManInWhite: Not unlike {{Creator/Morgan Freeman}} in {{Film/Bruce Almighty}}, Olorun is dressed in white, though he also has a lot of golden yellow trimmings and accoutrements.

* DamageDiscrimination: Her basic attacks and all of her abilities, except for Bouncing Bubble/Moonstrike and River’s Rebuke, interact with allies and enemies differently. For example, Mending Waters damages and passes through enemies, while it rebounds off of and provides a shield to allies.

* {{Lunacy}}: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]], she only has one moon-based spell.

* MechanicallyUnusualFighter: She dosen't use mana and instead utilizes Omi to cast spells. Since Omi recovers much more quickly than mana this allows Yemoja to stay out on the battlefield longer, but since there is also not as much of it at a time she must be very precise with her spells.
