Cliodhna is one of the playable Gods in SMITE.

Lore

As the shadow of death spreads across the world, Cliodhna, queen of the banshees, emerges from her palace beneath the earth to haunt the lands of men once more. A daughter of the Tuatha De Danannan, she is beautiful and terrible in equal measure, and her keening signals misfortune to any unlucky enough to hear it, mortal or otherwise. Her magics are potent, and with them she can drive the sea into a frenzy or conjure storms. Such is her reputation that there are few who dare to face her on the battlefield or off.

Though her aspect is sinister, Cliodhna is known to some mortals as a goddess of love and beauty, as well as a herald of death. It is said that her song can heal the sick - or end their suffering. Fittingly, she is known to have a great fondness for mortals - or at least those wise enough to honor her. She is said to sometimes grant boons to those who show her the proper respect even as she lures others to their doom for her own amusement.

Despite this often-capricious nature, she is revered as a patron by those mortals brave enough to seek her blessings, and is known to watch over entire families. It is whispered that she even once took a mortal man as her betrothed and left the hidden lands of the Tuatha De Danannan for him - for a time, at least.

Whatever the truth of such tales, Cliodhna is nevertheless also known as a herald of ruin and death. Her spectral form and eerie voice bring despair to those around her, and she is said to haunt those places where much blood has been shed. That she walks the world once more is sure sign that the long struggle between the pantheons of the world has at last reached its tipping point. But it is anyone's guess whether the queen of the banshees has come to quell the conflict - or bring it to its inevitable conclusion...

Abilities

Passive - Phantasmal Cliodhna can walk into walls once every 13s. While inside a wall she can move freely and use some of her abilities. Every 0.4s she loses 0.12% of her health, stacking in intensity up to 40 times. She cannot enter a wall while below 25% Health or crippled. For 5s after exiting she gains 15% Physical Ability Lifesteal. Notes:   There's a 1s delay before entering and 0.5s when exiting a wall.   Cliodhna cannot enter walls that lead outside the map nor player-made walls.   Cliodhna is untargetable, immune to damage and CC while inside a wall and most active targeted abilities will be canceled once she enters one.   While inside a wall, consumable items can be used but relics and shard relics cannot.   If current Health is lower than the health cost, she'll be immediately ejected out from the nearest wall.   Just like wards, certain god abilities and item passives that provide vision will not reveal Cliodhna while she's inside a wall.   Ability Type: Buff Ability Video 1st Ability - Banshee's Wail Cliodhna wails at enemies before her, causing damage 3 times, with the final hit being the strongest. The final hit will also cause enemies to be silenced and deafened for 1.5s. While channeling this scream Cliodhna is immune to knockups. While inside a wall Cliodhna will cause a spectral face to appear and wail in her stead that damages only enemy gods in a wider cone. Notes:   Can deal up to 120/190/260/330/400 (+140% of your Physical Power) damage.   Has a cone angle of 180 if used inside a wall.   Can be cancelled early.   Scream Damage: 30/45/60/75/90 (+40% of your Physical Power)   Final Hit Damage: 60/100/140/180/220 (+60% of your Physical Power)   Ability Type: Cone, Silence, Damage   Range: 30   Cost: 50/55/60/65/70 mana   Cooldown: 12 seconds Ability Video 2nd Ability - Flickering Visions Cliodhna fires a distorting bolt of energy that explodes on contact with a living soul. Enemy gods hit by this explosion lose the ability to perceive Cliodhna for 4s. If Cliodhna attacks or is hit she flickers back into vision before fading back out. As long as one enemy god is debuffed Cliodhna gains a Movement Speed Buff. Notes:   Cannot be cast while inside a wall.   Cliodhna is revealed for 0.25s when dealing/taking damage.   The buff is only applied once regardless of how many gods were hit by the ability.   Bolt Damage: 70/125/180/235/290 (+80% of your Physical Power)   Movement Speed: 25%   Ability Type: Line, Blind, Damage   Range/Radius: 60/15   Cost: 50/55/60/65/70 mana   Cooldown: 14 seconds Ability Video 3rd Ability - Lurching Claw Cliodhna dashes forward, damaging enemies she passes through. At max range, if she cancels this dash, or upon refiring the ability she will unleash a claw swipe that deals heavy damage. Cliodhna can cast this while inside a wall, resulting in the dash traveling further. Notes:   Can deal up to 125/200/275/350/425 (+110% of your Physical Power) damage.   Cliodhna can turn freely in any direction during the dash.   Dash Damage: 35/60/85/110/135 (+30% of your Physical Power)   Claw Damage: 90/140/190/240/290 (+80% of your Physical Power)   Ability Type: Dash, Damage   Range: 75, 85   Cost: 50/55/60/65/70 mana   Cooldown: 14/13.5/13/12.5/12 seconds Ability Video Ultimate - Tearing The Veil Cliodhna tears the veil between life and death. When the rift opens it deals heavy damage and then deals rift damage to targets in a line and slowing them. Enemies hit by subsequent hits take 40% less damage, stacking twice up to 80%. This ability has 2 charges. Rifts can be destroyed by basic attacks. Cliodhna can use this ability while inside a wall. When used this way the veil is not fully torn, instead activating when a target gets too close. Cliodhna can have up to 3 rifts active. Notes:   The projectiles can go through walls.   Placing more than three veils will despawn the oldest one.   Each charge deals up to 462/719/976/1233/1490 (+216% of your Physical Power) damage, slows up to 36% and both costs up to 60/70/80/90/100 mana.   Opened veils have a maximum duration of 5s and requires 3 basic attacks to destroy them.   Wall veils placed by an enemy Cliodhna are invisible until they activate.   Opening Damage: 150/225/300/375/450 (+60% of your Physical Power)   Rift Damage: 60/95/130/165/200 (+30% of your Physical Power)   Slow: 6%   Slow Stacks: 6   Ability Type: Cone, Slow, Damage   Range: 85   Cost: 30/35/40/45/50 mana   Cooldown: 55 seconds Ability Video
