New Goddess: Terra, The Earth Mother

You can now find Terra in the Guide Builder!

Passive: Standing Stones

Terra's abilities create Standing Stones. As long as any Standing Stones are on the battleground Terra becomes Knockup immune and her Basic Attacks will Slow enemies. If Terra Shatters her stones, This Buff will remain active for 3s afterward.

Force of Nature

Terra gains momentum, causing her to dash forward and deal damage to enemies she passes through. Terra may dash through her own Standing Stones to Shatter them. If she does she may dash one more time within the next 3s.

Crushing Earth

Terra raises up two Standing Stone walls on either side of a target location, Slowing enemies in between by 20%. As long as both stones stand, Terra may activate this ability again to slam the stones together, damaging and Stunning enemies in between for 1.5s. These stones can be Shattered into a cone of shrapnel with Force of Nature, damaging enemies in the area.

Monolith

Terra summons a Standing Stone monolith surging with natural energy. The monolith heals nearby allied gods every .5s. Terra can Shatter this stone with Force of Nature to Root enemies in the area for 1.5s and create a damaging area that lasts 5s.

Ultimate: Terra's Blessing

Terra channels her strength into the entire world, buffing all of her allies for 10s.

Spiked Gauntlet

Reduced cost from ~~650~~ → 600.

"Potions have returned! Potions are no longer starter items, can only be purchased at level 7 or higher, and now last for only 3 minutes. They have new effects and stats that will provide fun boosts to help swing fights in your favor at the risk of losing your gold investment."

God Changes

Aphrodite

General

Fixed Aphrodite's Passive meter heart sometimes getting stuck at the center.

Artemis

"Artemis is focused on getting to the late game and pummeling her enemies with arrows. We want to ensure that when she gets to this stage of the game she is a powerful threat.

Bacchus

Quoted:

As long as any Standing Stones are on the battleground Terra becomes Knockup immune and her Basic Attacks will Slow enemies. If Terra Shatters her stones, This Buff will remain active for 3s afterward.

It might as well say "Terra is Knockup immune and her Basic Attacks Slow enemies" since, assuming there is no limit to duration, range, or number of stones, all she has to do is put up a at the fountain and she has the buff all game.

's s only last for 1 minute, and can only have 6 s at a time, with a set range of 80.

But doesn't have those problems. Or I'm not reading the description right.

Well as far as I can see it there's a 10s duration on the and 5s on the , and because of that there'll never be more than 1 of each active at a time.

They're getting changed, I think both of the CDRs are getting removed from the magic pot and the slow is getting removed from the physical. The 5% mana return on DoTs is getting removed, as well (infinite mana on , anyone?). It should only trigger once per god hit, now. They also increased the price of pots to 500 gold.

Credit goes to Faythe!

The patch notes don't mention the full details for all spells, but the tooltip on the PTS shows a 10s duration.

Ok, so which one of the developers plays Artemis exclusively? Who could possibly think she needs a buff? If anything, she needs a nerf.
