Anubis Smite

All about Anubis Smite God!

Smite for those of you who don’t know is a third person MOBA (Multiplayer Online Battle Arena) developed and published by Hi-Rez Studios available on Windows, macOS, Switch and Xbox One. The game involves you controlling a God or a Goddess as you and your team take on other teams using fighting abilities specific to each character and using team strategy.

In this blog today we will be discussing one of the Gods we can play as in the game by the name of Anubis.

Story/Lore behind Anubis Smite

Nephthys the Goddess of Darkness wanted an offspring, but her husband Set was infertife. So being the clever Goddess she was, she transformed into Isis, the wife of Set’s brother Orisis and seduced him into having a child. From that pair Anubis was born. Orisis took care of Anubis as his own until he was killed by none other than his own brother Set. 

The official website of the game Smite quotes

“Anubis embalmed his adopted father and mummified the corpse so he would not rot. This preservation passed down to the Faithful, for if it was good enough for the Gods, it was good enough for man. None enter the abyss of the Underworld without first being tested by Anubis Smite. When corpses are preserved, he is the embalmer. When time for judgment comes, he is the final arbiter.

In his realm, he keeps legendary weighing scales. On one side, the massive weight of Ma’at – truth and order. On the other side, he places the heart of the deceased. Should the weight of Ma’at prove infinitely heavier than that of the heart, Anubis casts the soul deep into the darkness of the Underworld, where it is forgotten, never to be reborn.”

What people do not know about this God in the game is the fact that Bastet along with Anubis were the first 2 egyptian Gods in the game. ANd it also was one of the first 17 Gods playable in the closed beta environment.
