Summary

The general idea here is to load up on Health, HP5 and Life Steal so that you can pester and annoy with little to stop you. Hardcore Hercules isn't much on damage early on, but in the later phase of the game not only is he extremely hard to kill; he can also drop a painful hurt on anyone foolish enough to stand in his way.

Summary

SmiteFire & Smite

Smite is an online battleground between mythical gods. Players choose from a selection of gods, join session-based arena combat and use custom powers and team tactics against other players and minions. Smite is inspired by Defense of the Ancients (DotA) but instead of being above the action, the third-person camera brings you right into the combat. And, instead of clicking a map, you use WASD to move, dodge, and fight your way through the detailed graphics of SMITE's battlegrounds.
