Well, I know what it is, and I think the only god that deals it is Bakasura with Butcher Blades, but what about other things?

Towers/phoenixes/titans deal physical power if I'm correct, why not true damage? If not true damage, wouldn't it make more sense if towers and phoenixes dealt magical damage while the titan dealt physical? I can take a guess why they're not true damage, so that gods can tank towers without building health items... Or did Smite take another little scoop of honey from League and copy them?

Another thing; what kind of damage does Hand of the Gods or Fist of the Gods do, physical/magical/true, on ncps at least.

Does Nemesis' Retribution reflect back only physical damage because she is one or does it depend on the type of damage being dealt to her?

I'm just curious and I'm including some of these things in my guides, so I kinda want to know :P


EDIT: Did you know Nu Wa's flame strike will actually stun towers? And towers have twice as much physical protection than magical

Idk why Hi-Rez made towers physical..... Maybe cuz a support can focus on physical defense to tank everything? Dunno. The fountain deals true damage btw.

Retribution reflects all damage.

Hand of the Gods probably deals true damage.... Not sure though.

Towers shoot ballista bolts. Those are physical. So there is the logic there.

Hog automatically deals 480 to jungle minions. So that should be assumed as true damage. Since FG obviously has more defense than the mid camps, but it still does 480.

Retribution reflects all the damage.

If a god builds maximum penetration, then I'm pretty sure they can nearly make it to true damage on a squishy.

Well how about phoenixes? I don't see logic in them being physical power because I don't think they shoot ballista bolts..o.o

And by all damage you mean both physical and magical on Retribution?

HOG has to be true damage, otherwise it would do damage to different camps inconsistently.

Nu Wa's Flame Strike says that it will affect towers, as kind of an added bonus. But I'm not sure about the stun.

I tested it. It does stun towers, but if you time it wrong, it might as well have never happened.

It's the only ability that does affect structures

SmiteFire & Smite

Smite is an online battleground between mythical gods. Players choose from a selection of gods, join session-based arena combat and use custom powers and team tactics against other players and minions. Smite is inspired by Defense of the Ancients (DotA) but instead of being above the action, the third-person camera brings you right into the combat. And, instead of clicking a map, you use WASD to move, dodge, and fight your way through the detailed graphics of SMITE's battlegrounds.
