Yeah against those cowards with hard cc in arena or brawl

One of my favorite Yokai. He has a wonderful design and emits an eerie aura. They should have included the “otherworldly “ birds and marine life that accompany his presence. That could have added some ranged attacks.

What I really love about this is how they decided to add a yokai that's verily shrouded in mystery (like, I think there's only one or two stories surrounding Bake-Kujira that's accessible or at least known). I only knew about this yokai due to the amount of research I was doing a few years ago... and now I get to see him in a game~!

I expected him to be slightly larger but in that form is probably more balanced. I quite like his abilities especially auto attack passive but I wish sonic wave have reveal effect like camazotz's 1. Also it would be nice if ult had animation with whale jumping like on lore video and then activating aoe effect.

​@@Phantom-bh5ru The reason Jorm can be as big as he is, is because he is a snake, who can have most of his body bellow ground, and only his head sticking up so that his model doesn't actually take up that much more space than other gods. That is just not feasable with a whale. Imagine if Kujira was as tall as Jorm, and just think about how long he would have had to been, and just how much space he would take up.

His kit synergizes well with each other, but his ult needs a little work imo. Not being cc immune really hurts his team fight, but having cc immunity on a 3 second ult like that would be busted, so maybe he could use some small amount of mitigations to compensate. Also watching this video confirms that his time dilation doesn't work like olorun field and projectiles still fire at the same speed even if they are shot slower.

Atleast the 3 is inmune to some cc, and have a little of mitigations in passive and the first ability, like they choose more Anti cc in differents parts of the kit and a little in ult, is a little weak but is still fun and usable

@Haaton-of-the-Basement

6 ай бұрын

Sacrificing a great amount of CC immunity in order to reduce enemies damage and increase the damage they receive is what Terra also does and how often does Terra fit in meta? Or how often do people even play Terra accordingly? While Terra has the CC/Healing, big whale has the constant damage reduction. Terra gets knock-up immune, whale gets knock back immune, while terra has to waste an entire mana pool for aoe damage, whale does it while sleeping. It's a playstyle that compared to other guardians, this one is the 2nd (imho) that can easily trigger adcs when not played correctly (Jorm support triggers just being in lane)

@b3stnoobever

6 ай бұрын

@@jordanc.3453 It kind of is in the context of this ultimate where the passive of the god allows your to stick to your target indefinitely and you're getting increased damage at the epicenter or you can run around and position the time dilation even though the time dilation is on the weaker side from what we've seen with time stuff in the game. I think mitigations would make the ult feel better while still allowing for some counter play.

Oh GOOD, the new episode of “Bake The Grappler” is out!

I like the ult. It's gonna be pretty annoying in a large fight.

okay that does look pretty cool

He should breach like whales do when he ults. Theres not enough dynamic movement in his animations to convey the gravitas his art/design and actual whales have lol. Otherwise really happy with this god. Please keep adding monsters and original designs!

Hello Hi-Rez , i really waiting new crossover . I want Digimons ; especially Ranamon , Renamon and Frigimon

Gojira: Flying Whales Waters of chaos have invaded all space The flood on Earth again, I have to find the whales That once did guide us to dry lands of life I won't despair, I'll break this dark around Under heavy sea I'll search the flight of whales Beneath the seas, I searched and had a different view Of us on Earth, the sinking ship of men But it's beyond the stars, I found the place where They were, and they finally came to light Over the winds They dwell in light Like the arrow in the sky I found myself on higher grounds from up here For I see them all the ways in flight Now I can see the whales Looming out of the dark Like arrows in the sky I can't believe my eyes But it's true Huge tunnel ends in light Like banks of clouds, they gather See massive shape of flesh Swimming giants in the clear The mightiest comes to me I'm on the wing, wide open They teach me how to fly Slowly moving in the air So much told with no words at all Powerful presence for only speech Breath Over the winds They dwell in light Fly

That ultimate has to be buffed for a longer duration. That’s too short

Good opportunity for an kygore skin

The animations of the basic attacks look funny LMFAOO

Is this being added in smite 2 as well?

Love it!
