"Lead the charge, setting up for your allies. Rush to their aid when they are in danger."

Horus is one of the playable Gods in SMITE.

Lore[ | ]

Heavy lies the head that wears the crown. If such an adage holds true, then surely the heads that seek to wear it must as well. Born of Osiris, and destined to ascend to the throne of the Egyptian Pantheon as its divine ruler, Horus is an entity of great power, whose formidable strength is mirrored by his innate desire for balance and justice.

And yet, these grand attributes are not what has come to define Horus amongst the divine beings who walk the earth. Rather, it is strife, division and conflict that cling to him like a shadow. A shadow that has taken the form of his uncle, Set.

Set stands in opposition to Horus' ascension to rule, challenging so that he might be the one to take the throne and hold the destiny of their pantheon, lands and mortal worshippers in the palm of his hand. Thus has begun a path of chaos and destruction that has claimed countless lives, including that of venerable Osiris himself. Reeling from the cold-blooded murder of his father by his own uncle, Horus swore an oath to all creation, on pain of his own death, to set right the horrific deeds that had been perpetrated, and restore order, peace and justice to the land.

For Horus, this conflict will see his kingdom restored to its full former glory, first among equals of all the Pantheons in creation, or should he fail, see all he knows and loves cast into darkness, corruption and ruin. He has become inextricably linked with Set, a shining reflection of his uncle's brooding darkness. Horus knows in his heart that Set will stop at nothing to achieve his aims, and so he must do the same. For the fate of all, he must prevail, no matter the cost.

Abilities[ | ]

Trivia[ | ]

General[ | ]

Horus and Set were the first double release in SMITE.
Horus and Set were the first gods with special interaction with their passive, and the only gods where their passive description mention a god in specific.
Horus is Osiris' and Eset's son, which makes him the half-brother/cousin of Anubis. He is also the nephew of Set and grandson of Geb and Nut.
Horus also makes an appearance in Set's victory screen.
Horus along with Ishtar, Morgan Le Fay, Set and Tyr are currently the only gods where in their end of match lobbies another playable god appears in.
In a scene of the Horus and Set Cinematic teaser, Set's weapon gets really close to Horus' eye. This is a reference to the final battle for control over Egypt where Horus has his eye severely injured but is restored by Thoth. Thus creating the Eye of Horus.
His taunt line ▶️"Everything the light touches is my kingdom. Even you fall under my protection!" is a reference to a quote spoken by the character Mufasa in the Disney animated movie The Lion King.

Anhur also has a line making reference to this movie.

Horus continues the tradition of the anthropomorphic bird gods having a laugh resembling bird noises.
There is an announcer pack themed after Horus, You can hear it here:Horus Announcer pack.
