Edit: Yeah I know now you can test him against real players but eh he's a little buggy ATM I'll save that for release day when he's polished up. That and the servers are kinda still shitty, was nice to play a game WITHOUT lag for once. West Coast servers for SMITE are a complete and utter joke.

My first attempt at playing Cabrakan recorded on the Public Test Server Of Smite. Because sadly 1v1 bot practice seems to be the only option for testing him out I was facing Ra Bot.

Because this is 1v1 Joust I did something different and built him more like a Mage than a Guardian. He's not bad damage wise but he lacks range/clear so honestly I feel he'll be way better as a Guardian. Especially since Hi-Rez will probably lower his damage a bit in a coming patch.

His abilities and my opinions/first impressions on them I may be wrong:

Passive: Shadow Zone-Allies in a 30 ft radius of Cabrakan take 5% reduced damage. Uhh really not helpful in 1v1 mode XD. But I imagine this'll be quite nice otherwise.

Seismic Crush: Cabrakan becomes enraged, increasing his movement speed by 15/20/25/30/35% for 5s. While active, Cabrakan's next successful basic attack will stun for 1s and do 100/125/175/225/275 (+50% of your magical power) bonus damage. Additionally, Cabrakan is immune to slows and roots while this ability is active.
Cost: 50/55/60/65/70 mana.
Cooldown: 18 seconds.

REALLY good skill, this is probably Cabrakan's best. Good damage, the stun, the movement boost+immunity to slows and roots while it's active. Essential for getting kills in a 1v1 situation and when he's actually out I imagine this will setup kills for allies nicely.

Refraction Shield: Passive: Cabrakan gains 15/20/25/30/35 increased protections from his shields. As his shields take damage they store energy and gain up to 5 stacks but shed 3/4/5/6/7 protections per stack.
Active: Cabrakan slams his shields together creating a concussive blast that deals 90/140/190/240/290 (+50% of your magical power) to enemies in front of him. If his shields have max stacks then the enemies hit are stunned for 1s.
Cost: 65/70/75/80/85 mana.
Cooldown: 14/13/12/11/10 seconds.

This one is...Meh. Bugged at the moment I believe. However the active can be nice for the stun and hitting multiple targets. Still a bit too weak to clear waves.

Tremors: Cabrakan repeatedly slams the ground with his shields creating an earthquake and causing enemies around him to tremble. Enemies caught in the earthquake take 25/35/45/55/65 (+25% of your magical power) damage every .5s and are slowly sucked in towards Cabrakan.
Cost: 15/20/25/30/35 every .5 second.
Cooldown: 8 seconds.

This one is pretty damn cool, the catch however if of course you must stay still to channel/use it! So in a real game I imagine your opponents will drop all their AoEs on you and make you stop. Still a very good and unique ability.

Lastly his ultimate Tectonic Shift: Cabrakan stomps the ground creating a wall of earth and a fissure that travels out in front of him and deals 100/200/250/300/350 (+70% of your magical power) damage to any enemies caught in its path. The walls have 200/400/600/800/1000 health and may be destroyed if they take enough damage. Cabrakan may destroy his own walls with a single basic attack.
Cost: 100 mana.
Cooldown: 75 seconds.

This one...Is pretty damn buggy ATM lol. I'm not sure if Hi-Rez intends for it to be targetable by minions and your own allies but they can be destroyed. Even Cabrakan's Tremors can destroy these walls. However not a bad ability concept I imagine once Cabrakan is released they'll fix this up.

It'll be much better if it can only be destroyed by enemies/Cabrakan's basic attacks instead of being attacked by your own creeps lol. This can be used to combo with Tremors but the walls will eventually fall. We'll see if this changes.

All in all Cabrakan is pretty neat. His design is pretty cool having big shields for weapons and being this big angry Moutain destroying God. He acts a bit like a pro wrestler too lol. He needs to have some sort of taunt when killing Ra'merica! His voice reminds me of the Goliath from Borderlands 2 as well, wonder if they are the same actor hmm....

I just hope they refine his kit a bit and he should be fun. I'll also do a video when he is out on the main client just thought I'd put this out here too since I had time to get the test client.
