Hi-Rez Studios continues to pump out the new gods for their third-person perspective MOBA, SMITE.  The latest reveal video features Freya, the Norse goddess of love, fertility, war, and wealth.  The queen of the valkyries is a magical melee fighter with the ability to switch her close combat swings into ranged attacks with a slow.

Her ultimate, Valkyrie’s Discretion, allows her to use a feathered cloak to fly above the battlefield and rain death on her enemies in a small radius.  While she is up in the air, she is immune to all attacks making it useful in defensive situations as well.  This ability is particularly nasty when combined with Ares’ ultimate, which pulls enemy gods together into a neat pile and stuns them.

Check out the video to see Freya in action and let us know what you think of the queen of the valkyries in the comments below.

    I really like the idea behind smite, being a third person moba. My only complaints are that the “gods theme” they chose to go with kind of breeds more room for lack luster champions in comparison to other moba’s like Leauge of Legends or Dota who’s champions have their own unique backgrounds attached to them and give the developers a lot more room to play around with in terms of ideas. Secondly, I wish the combat and animations were a bit more fluid, maybe because I’ve been playing Guild Wars 2 a lot lol. This game has some great potential though and I think it can definitely pioneer some interesting changes in the moba genre that we may see in the future.
