Lore: Arachne’s history delivers a classic message to the people of Greece, “Do Not Mess With Gods.” A weaver that believed herself superior to Athena, goddess of wisdom and strategy, she had the audacity to tell other mortals about her prowess. Being easily offended by lesser beings as Greek gods often were, Athena organized a weaving challenge, assured she’d win due to Arachne utilizing Athena’s own knowledge as part of the her craft.

In-Game: Those afflicted by arachnophobia may be affected at ranged, but Arachne is truly dangerous up close and personal. A very unique character to SMITE, Arachne can unleash non-controllable minions and happens to be one of SMITE’s jungle-capable gods.
