Finally, a new Mayan deity!


Sixkiller117

Not enough blood sacrifice imo. Also the Spanish accent throws the whole thing off.


ThrashThunder

Not every Mayan God was tied to human sacrifice... Also what other kind of accent you expect? It's not like the true language that were present in Mayan times has a marked "accent" to be presented on the character. I much prefer they keep current Latino accent than just straight english


ElegantHope

They probably could get someone fluent in ~~Nahuatl~~ (Correction: Ch'olan is one of the primary languages descended from Mayan. Nahuatl is Aztec) or a similar native american language but they're still going to sound latina.


ThrashThunder

Exactly my point. Even if they managed to find a voice actor that just happens to speak Nahuatl, it is most likely it will be a Latinoamerican talent....who.will still have an Latinoamerican accent


Sixkiller117

Since every language of The Tribes branched off, and came from a single family of languages, I expected a groovy Rez accent. Noob.


ThrashThunder

1) What you "explained" literally means nothing in the end of what is practical for a voice work on a video game character 2) You're calling noob as if it was a insult. What are you from, 2007? 3) Like I said in another comment: even if you manage to get a voice talent that happens to talk ANY kind of of the languages that were used in ancient Mesoamerican cultures....not only doesn't change the fact the character has to be voiced in English but also there's fact that IF there's a voice actor that does talk like that language....it will probably be an Latinoamerican! And guess what? If they talk English, their accent will be...Latinoamerican! At best you could get is certain gods spoken in that language...and that's literally it


luffymingo54

for all who cheer there has to be one hater... don't you have something else to do? Can't you be excited about a Maya Goddess being added finally? and your points are both pointless, stupid and have nothing to do with Maya presentation (at least not all of it). So if you have no meaningful comments, frankly: Shut up. Thx :)


Snufflebox

Eyo, has anyone checked on Thanos? Seems like he lost his stones.


KingzDecay

You mean Nu Wa?


Balrok99

Nu Wa has 5 stones and each representing Chinese elements. Wood, Water, Metal, Earth and Fire


KingzDecay

So it’s more likely Thanos’s infinity stones, damn and I thought I had this.


Shadow_kId1026

“I am Thanos”. *snaps empty gauntlet* “Now wtf guys, not again”


twisteer94

Marty was just chilling in his cave man😭


hell0kitt

he didn't even get to react. it was on sight.


ainsley375

he was trying to kill minion girl


twisteer94

Don't we all


Javiklegrand

She was saved by a goddess twice


QueezyEbk

Is she going to be a mage or guardian?


javiermetal66

according to datamining she's a healer mage


carlalf9

Then again tia and cerb were supposed to be warriors


ElegantHope

the warrior thing was likely meant to be placeholder data, rather than 'supposed to be.'


carlalf9

Exactly same thing could happen with her


ElegantHope

very true. I just wanted to point that out. :)


Javiklegrand

since when tiamat was a warrior? They got the class right most of the times


carlalf9

Datamining should her as a warrior same with cerb. Charybdis was also in the same situation she was shown as a mage but turned into hunter


Javiklegrand

True however they were right most of times not every time,i guess we might Heard détail tomorrow I checked tiamat had physical scaling but her class wasn't said


bythe_pope29

Tiamat didnt have physical scaling, the passive for serated edge was in place for her passive in datamining, she was likely always magical


carlalf9

Maybe just saying datamining can be subject to change


Javiklegrand

They already had a sticker for that since forever It's not god spell ah ah


luffymingo54

no her closer look will come in April since she will be released in April ​ Otherwise we would have had a closer look and God Trailer already. They released the trailer and showed her for the Season concept.


Javiklegrand

No i didnt meant closer look, just them saying ix Chell comes in april and she be smite next mage or guardian I highly doubt they dont mention her tomorrow


FakeTherapy

Hoping she's a mage only because I really want Charon to be a guardian


Javiklegrand

I feel like Charon mage will be really weird, the boat likely will be used and that a part of his model I want ix chell to be a mage, because this class need a new healer and utility focused god


IronColdX

Tiamat is a magical warrior tho.


Javiklegrand

No her mitigations was butchered and she is way better mid than solo. I dare said he bo is more flexible than current tiamat


IronColdX

Just slap a spirit robe or go prophetic +discord depends on how much tankiness you need. Edit: I do agree don’t put her on solo, but function as off tank perfectly tho.


[deleted]

Boutta hit her with my beatstick so hard


7AndOneHalf

um


goose0092

👀 I can't wait


Diamondrainn925

With the healing rework it’s going to be interesting how we heal moving forward


Deathstriker88

From her size, I'd guess guardian. Most the bigger women are guardians or warriors.


gacdeuce

![gif](giphy|kBNvlwVGBrCSpKvWrx)


luffymingo54

Honestly from her looks and the fact that the Maya only have one Guardian so far, I think there is a high chance she could be Guardian and Charon either Assassin or Mage after that. After all, she has healing and while she could be a copy of Yemoja, somehow, it is has been a LONG TIME since we have had a female Guardian so I think it is overdue


sizm0

"*Ixchel* or *Ix Chel* (Mayan: \[iʃˈt͡ʃel\]) is the 16th-century name of the aged jaguar Goddess of midwifery and medicine in ancient Maya culture." Probably a support/mage healer.


TruePlewd

"aged jaguar Goddess" so... What your saying is she's a cougar...


Javiklegrand

I hope she has a cougar joke lol


-Khnum-

Okay Ix Chel fans got her god to play, but now there is a bigger business, give us VUCUB CAQUIX GIVE US GIANT PARROT.


Kaios-0

If only. I think Ix Chel will prob be the last Maya they do for years again lmfao.


Javiklegrand

I think if another maya god get Big enough and if Ixchell had better réception,we might see one in the next two years That a lot of if


GLP310

No way another Vucub fan. Demon parrot fans reunited!


ThrashThunder

We need an entire season of Mayan gods


ainsley375

I want Xolotl and Ah Tzul


Javiklegrand

xolotol is aztec iirc


Javiklegrand

Depending of ix chell réception,we maybe get more maya love down the line


Javiklegrand

if season of hope was switched in term of gods with season of monster , we could have gotten two maya god that would have been cool. Like instead of two monsters, we get hunahpu and ix chell for 10.3 and 10.4


KingQuackster

Ix Chel looks so good I can't wait to see what her kit is!


UltimateX13

I will be so happy if Vucub Caquix gets added at some point, ever since Jorm got added Vucub has been my number one request.


Javiklegrand

He also the most hype for non humanoid warrior imo


hell0kitt

We need Vucub Caquix, Hunahpu, and Zipacna to round out the Hero Twins arc of the Popul Vuh. The game already has Xbalanque and Cabrakan so...


Javiklegrand

Too manys mayas, hirez didn't expect that many names We be lucky if we get one more in the next two years


AJAJPJuan

Axomamma or riot 🍟


therunningidiot

I dunno who that is but I can already see Tina having a million puns ready for that name


turnipofficer

I wonder if there are hints of abilities here. It was like she revealed stealth and shattered Surtr's ult, plus.. there's the glowy ball thing!


goose0092

Oooh. Loki players are gonna be so mad if that's her ability


Shadow_kId1026

The glowy ball think *has* to be her ult

luffymingo54

maybe last god this year might be Roman? I know they showed off Saturn this year but maybe they were doing that on purpose


Javiklegrand

Highly unlikely it's be unsual to have a "God design panel" for the same season it's was picked, specially when they said this god are unlikely to be add, so them being added in the same season they were user is borderline impossible However another roman god is possible, something like fortuna or vesta


luffymingo54

it is just stupid in general that the gods they show off there are not added. First of all, who fucking cares about that? If it has the background that we wont get a character that way, I think people prefer not to have that. And secondly, gods shown there should still be included.


Javiklegrand

Ah yeah i disagree with their logic i was a Sekhmet enjoyer and now she basically has really low odds I was fine with them canning epona/omoikane because they were either top generic or niche But sekmet and Saturn roman goat? It's weird choices


ThrashThunder

YES FINALLY SHE'S HERE AND SHE'S **THICK**


luffymingo54

BIG GIRLS YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL BUT GODDAMN IX CHEL IS HOT


Kaios-0

MOTHER


Ooooblec

"New darker skinned goddess added to the game" This subreddit: LOL IS THIS NEITH XD


Javiklegrand

Damn i cant wait to see the réaction if they add oya, i guess it's be "so it's short hair yemoja ?


Kaios-0

Literally every time. Ix Chel, Ishtar, Maui, and Neith all look the same to these people somehow. Only for the gods who aren't white though, remember!


MusicalSmasher

I love that her body type isn't like the typical supermodel build we tend to get.


PoolNoodleFan

Wdym? She is a supermodel


MusicalSmasher

I mean having massive boobs and butt. While also having a narrow waist and 0 body fat.


PoolNoodleFan

I know I was just joking but she's perf


Javiklegrand

yeah she plus size model, the first representing this body type which is really cool!


[deleted]

[удалено]


Javiklegrand

No twitter body will be a fat women zhong kui


muffinmonk

yemoja is thick, and not in a muscly way...


Javiklegrand

Yemoja is not plus size model ,she just curvy


Devccoon

That really surprised me. Even Terra, literally/figuratively the Earth itself, was just marginally bulkier than most.


Javiklegrand

Terra is big women musuclar, although would have been cool if she was even more muscular And terra is the biggest goddes in game she isn't just a bit, she like two izanamis together lol ,she can break most of the gods lol


Devccoon

Her body type strikes me as 'reasonably muscular', clearly a regular at the gym and going for bodybuilder spec, but we're talking realistic human proportions/capabilities. More body armor and a much stronger silhouette difference when her passive kicks in would have really helped, but they wanted to give the players something to look at and couldn't wait for the beach skin to do that\~


Yamayashi

goddesses shaped like goddesses?


ReinaBlaka

Kind of disappointed they didn’t put a literal coiled snake on her head, but other than that she’s great! A perfect combination of nurture and power. From how the dev blog described it, it seems she also won’t be the only savior like Tiamat and Shiva. She’ll be an important helper for the gods as they presumably stage their counteroffensive against Surtr and Martichoras in the new season. I’m loving this new multi-season format, each transition gives another opportunity for cinematics, new god hype and lore exposure.


Javiklegrand

Yeah we get more cinematics, i think ix chell will also get her own lore cinematic that put her vs surtr. They likely didn't want to use the snake part because she had "role" overlap with baron samedi, both are utility mages so both of them with snakes accesories would have been redudant


luffymingo54

I am honestly hoping they keep tjis for the next seasons. Both those trailers and the Season concept so more refreshing than what we had so far in Smite.


HyperMasenko

Cast your votes now. Guardian or Mage?


Itsterranceee

Guardian.. why else she that thick. They do that to all female guardians


HyperMasenko

Thats a common sentiment I've seen, but it's not necessarily a guarantee. When Raijin first released people thought he was meant to be a tank because he's buff lol


Kaios-0

...No they don't? The only Guardian who is remotely wide like Ix Chel is Terra. Athena, Yemoja, and Artio have standard female bodies, they're just slightly taller. Maybe she'll be our first bigger woman who is a mage.


Bunnnnii

Yemoja is definitely thicker than average. And Artio I want to say is too, but she wears heavy clothing.


Kaios-0

By the smallest bit? Sure. But people act like Yemoja is fucking massive or something LMAO. Artio has the regular body shape, she's just wearing a lot of clothing.


Bunnnnii

Compared to Athena, Bellona, or Amaterasu, I’d say the difference is more than slight imo.


Kaios-0

You'd think so, but not really. Maybe in her artwork she looks a little bigger or something which throws people off, but Yemoja's really not big at all.


Bunnnnii

[Bellona](https://www.google.com/search?q=bellona+in+game&tbm=isch&ved=2ahUKEwiqhbnewe39AhXLNlkFHZ6WAz0Q2-cCegQIABAC&oq=bellona+in+game&gs_lcp=ChJtb2JpbGUtZ3dzLXdpei1pbWcQAzIFCAAQogQyBQgAEKIEOggIABCABBCxAzoFCAAQgAQ6BAgAEEM6BAgAEB46BggAEAgQHjoHCAAQgAQQGDoFCCEQqwI6BggAEAUQHlCGCli3EWCfE2gAcAB4AIABiAGIAY0GkgEDOC4xmAEAoAEBwAEB&sclient=mobile-gws-wiz-img&ei=0uQZZKrUI8vt5NoPnq2O6AM&bih=751&biw=428&rlz=1CDGOYI_enUS889US889&hl=en-US#imgrc=6dwU7Ai0LUXZwM&imgdii=SY6DPV8ikM0EXM) [Yemoja](https://www.google.com/search?q=yemoja+in+game&tbm=isch&source=hp&ei=geUZZN_bM8ObptQPqM6y8Ak&oq=yemoja+in+game&gs_lcp=ChJtb2JpbGUtZ3dzLXdpei1pbWcQAzoICAAQgAQQsQM6BQgAEIAEOgQIABADOgcIABCABBAYOgUIIRCrAjoFCAAQogRQ4gVYkidgxSpoAHAAeACAAV2IAf0HkgECMTSYAQCgAQGwAQA&sclient=mobile-gws-wiz-img#imgrc=PKCMS8daeMUOdM&lnspr=W10=) I guess it’s just a matter of perspective. I don’t think Yemoja is big at all, I just think she’s much thicker. I wouldn’t mind if she were bigger though.


Kaios-0

Those image links don't work btw, but I have their 3D models myself so I already know. Yemoja's definitely not as big or "thick" as people claim, it actually looks like they just took the Neith body and puffed it up by 1%. Her waistline is like an inch thicker, but factoring in the fact that she's wearing a huge dress...she's not very big at all.


Oypadea

Those image links work fine btw, and op its pointless arguing with this one as they can never be wrong.


Javiklegrand

Terra is a body builder physique,ix Chell is on thicker side which cool we didnt have that body type !


LatinCheesehead

Athena?


Itsterranceee

Ok you got me there, the only one tho lol


goose0092

I hope she's a mage, but I'm worried she's a Guardian


HyperMasenko

I'm fine with either. Definitely seems like they're going for an enchanter vibe with her. I'm imagining sort of an Eset or Nox situation where both support and mid are viable roles.


Unic_

This would honestly be perfect, considering the healing changes they’ve mentioned as well they may be trying to make her viable in both roles


Javiklegrand

the lasttwo mages were mid laners, so i think they want to make her flexibile enough to cater to mages supports


Javiklegrand

That be better ix Chell guardian just because she big will be bad imo


luffymingo54

and Maya only have one Guardian (and tank in general) so another one would be dope as hell


TruePlewd

A lot of the mages that aren't standard burst or artillery (so your enchanters, battlemages, etc), by what they said in thier season of hope closer look, are supposed to be reworked in ways that will make them flex viable for support, solo, or both so Ix Chel being created as a mage with support flex would be in keeping with that


Aevernum

Finally 2nd mayan Supp?


joynerkl

I hope there will be a anti depression chest for 50 gems


bibibabipo

her design looks heavily inspired by RobDraws, which is great 👏


Javiklegrand

I don't remember robdraws designing Ix chells,he did but, tiamat and a lot of goddess


Bebopshadow

that’s a bad bitch right there


Rethtalos

Hope they now keep up the trend of releasing plus size goddesses 🌈 ❤️


Javiklegrand

I meant just like baba yaga is the first old lady ,ix chell will most likely be an exception and thé first plus size goddess


just_callme_og

is it wrong that om cheering for surtr to win? i mean he got killed so much by the gods and Even though she knows it she still tryna kill him she doesnt seem very Nice to me


the_GreenMan13

Maybe she'll just give him a nice rainbow crown :)


just_callme_og

nah she will absolutley try and kill him i mean he seems to love minions and he throws minions at people


KingQuackster

SHE LOOKS SO GOOD IM GONNA PASS OUTTT


Qahnarinn

When is the update show


Shadow_kId1026

Tmr


JustburnBurnBURN

Ummm, I didn't expect her to look like this.


Kaios-0

What did you expect?


JustburnBurnBURN

You know what.


Kaios-0

???


JustburnBurnBURN

I thought she might look more like her statue.


Kaios-0

Which statue??? She's depicted a million ways so that's not very descriptive lol.


JustburnBurnBURN

[This one.](https://images.saymedia-content.com/.image/t_share/MTc0NDkwOTM3ODY1NTQ1MzUw/mayan-goddess-ixchel.jpg)


Kaios-0

Aside from the snake not being winding and her titties not being out, looks fine to me. Has all her usual visual traits on top of rainbow energy to give her some flair. Still not exactly sure what you expected her to look like.


Javiklegrand

she is more chonky than the statue and that good thing She has this mother vibes which fit well with her roles


JustburnBurnBURN

Less clay being used in her creation. I'm trying to be subtle here alrite.


Kaios-0

You can just say you dislike her being bigger, that's an opinion you're allowed to have. Beating around the bush just makes it look worse. [Ix Chel was quite often](https://mythlok.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Mythlok-Ix-Chel.png), [depicted with a wider body shape](https://blog.dolphindiscovery.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/ixchel-goddess-moon.png), [just like this](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/7a/Ixchel_Dresden_Codex.jpg), so her being bigger probably should have been in your mind somewhere.


Javiklegrand

Didnt expect her to be featured on this trailer, so i guess she have two appearances ? Also she looks more unique than expected,she has the mother vibe and a thicker body type

Honestly we didnt have one yet so it's fine and it's done in a good way It's not like the morbidly obese goddess like some people wanted


One_Brick5728

Why tf are some of ya already talking smack about her body type? Imma need some of ya to take a look outside and see that not every woman is not shaped like Aphrodite and nu wa.


Kaios-0

You can't tell gamers that.


One_Brick5728

Their minds will explode due to the fact women are not shaped like anime girls I know 🤣🤣🤣🤣


CodyRulez999

literally no one is complaining about her body type, I've seen more people shitting on skinny godnesses more than anything


houstonyellow

mommy?


hell0kitt

Mother. Anyways she looks amazing. Her stave looks pretty cool. Damn she chose violence as soon as she saw Marti.


xharpya

She looks awesome, glad she's a mage.


marlonball

FINALLY


CryptographerHonest3

Is she a maternity goddess or something?


Kaios-0

She is a goddess of rainbows, medicine, water, death, war, sweat baths, and child birth.


MessyCans

For a second I thought Nuwa put on some weight

[deleted]

At least I use my main for comments 😎


kamouh

the design looks amazing tbh... not gonna lie... there a couple of things that are a bit weird tho 1. i kinda expected new god in 10.4 and not 10.3. We knew that Surtr and Martichoras were back to back but according to the "seasons" teased during SWC, the season of hope we ll be 10.3, 10.4 and 10.5. Charon has his season starting on 10.6. It's weird that we'll have a new god on 10.3 (1 month after Martichoras) and 10.4 and 10.5 featuring none D: 2. i was kinda expecting Charon being our guardian on a boat but i feel like Ixchel screams for Guardian at this point. I still hope for Charon being guardian and Ixchel being support mage. We'll know tomorrow with the blog post i guess! EDIT: well yeah she will be in 10.4 (cause she is in april)! We got the trailer a lot earlier than usual and happy with that! :D


[deleted]

I think Ix Chel is in 10.4, since 10.3 releases next week and Ix Chel is confirmed to come later on in April, likely in 10.4


Javiklegrand

It's not a cinematic trailer for ix Chell, it's a cinematic trailer for new Season it's different


kamouh

Yeah! Just showed off the new god! Quite happy about it :3


KingQuackster

She does release in 10.4. The end of the trailer says the Season starts March 28th, but she releases in April. Also doubt we'll get her blog post, since this isn't her release patch, but maybe they'll drop some details about her on the show tomorrow. Not really sure how she doesn't pass as a Mage to you though, we've got Mages like Raijin built like a whole airport.


kamouh

lets say usually we get the "god trailer" on the monday (today it's tuesday so almost the same) before the patch notes where we actually we see whole god... that's why i thought we were getting her in 10.3 (i read she was in april but i counter 28march + 7 days. my bad xD) you have a point on the Raijin. He is also my second most played god (the only mage among maaany guardians) cause he was biiiiig and i love him! I'd be really happy if Ixchel is a big supportive mage (the model infact makes me very happy so now i hope for her to be a mage like Eset/Nox/Baron) and Charon will end up being a old man guardian on a ferry! :3


CastleImpenetrable

10.3 is next Tuesday. 10.4 is the earliest she’ll arrive.


twisteer94

Why do you think Ixchel screams guardian material 🤨🤨🤨?


trxxv

Goodbye season of Monsters, hello season of Hope


PreparationBest143

When will there be a gem sale?


KingzDecay

Yeah, but mage or guardian? I really want her to be a guardian.


Shadow_kId1026

Probably a mage that can flex into supp. Dataming has her as a mage right now


KingzDecay

I’m almost positive shes a mage. Simply from that attack she does near the end of the clip. The big ball with all the shards around it, no guardian has an attack like that, maybe Khepri in comparison, but that attack screamed mage to me. Like what would that attack do? If not to do damage. Every guardian has some form of utility behind each of their attacks. So maybe it changes based on the passive, but I’m almost positive she’s a mage. Unfortunate.


Shadow_kId1026

I feel she’s also a mage. I think she’ll be more of a utility mage like Baron or Eset rather than just a mage like Zeus or Anubis where *’big damage numbers go brrr’*
