Intelligent Matchmaking of Low Population Regions
  • During low population times, the Matchmaking algorithm will look for players outside the preferred region, taking ping into consideration.
  • This will only occur when no match can be found due to low population.

Season Ticket 2017 - Spring Split

Clash Map Update


"Clash has quickly become one of SMITE's most popular game modes! It is a fun middle ground between Arena and other lane based modes, like Conquest. Player feedback overwhelmingly showed that they wanted a new art style besides Greek, so we brought back one of our favorites: Egyptian! Clash now features a completely new art style as well as a new Jungle Boss, Apophis, the Chaos Serpent. It also features a variety of layout changes, while staying true to the core design of Clash."

New Art Style
  • Egyptian Themed Map
  • New Titans
  • New Minions
  • New Towers
  • New Phoenixes

New Map Layout Changes
  • Widened Center Area
  • New paths to Center Area
  • Adjustedouter paths

  • Gold value set at 100. This increases to 150 at later stages of the game.
  • Base Health value set at 3200.
  • Health per Min value set at 130. This increases to 175 at later stages of the game.

New Gameplay Changes

    • New characters for Red buff and Blue buff holders
  • New Phoenixes
    • New Phoenixes have a much higher Attack Speed and lower Base Damage.
  • Kill Bounty Changes
    • For experience you get an additional 20% XP based on the level difference. (20% base xp * level difference)

Season 4 Conquest Map Update


"Conquest is the primary competitive game mode for SMITE. With each new season comes new challenges to this map. We listened and watched carefully as Season 3 unfolded. In 2016, we saw the rise and fall of many types of metagame, but there were two primary issues we wanted to address: Adding more meaningful choices to early game and enhancing late game objectives. We believe the Season 4 Conquest update will bring a diverse group of strategies with its new start and twists on Gold Fury and Fire Giant!"

Map Changes
  • Small adjustments to Jungle paths have been made to equalize time and distance between objectives on Order and Chaos sides of the map.
    • Both the Order Speed camp and the Chaos Damage camp see a change to their geometry and leash to shift the time it takes to reach the Mid Lane.
      • Players can no longer see into the camp from the Mid Lane.


General Gameplay
  • Game Start Changes
    • Game starts at -1:30
    • Minions spawn at 0:00
    • The ENTIRE Jungle spawns at 0:30
  • Kill Bounty Changes
    • For experience, you get an additional 10% XP based on the level difference. (10% base xp * level difference)

Minion and Jungle Changes

"The Experience and Gold rates around the map have changed. Minion Waves are now worth slightly less Experience, while the Jungle holds a little more Experience. This combined with changes to the start of the map, Jungle difficulty, and changes to Bumba's Mask are designed with the goal of removing the focus on the mid lane."

Conquest Minion Changes
  • Swordsman
    • XP decreased from 65→ 60
  • Archer
    • XP decreased from 45 → 40
  • Brute
    • XP decreased from 65 → 60
Conquest Jungle Monster Changes
  • Fixed an issue where Jungle Monster HP scaled at double the scaling rate while dead.
    • The scaling of Jungle Monsters has been adjusted to compensate. All jungle monsters have been adjusted to ensure they spawn at the same health they do in live.
    • "Since the early days of SMITE, Jungle Monsters have always scaled twice as fast while dead, making camps that were taken consistently tankier than those which were left alive. This has now been removed to keep the pace of the game and the toughness of the camps close. We are also increasing the Base Health per Minute that Jungle Monsters receive."
  • Boars
    • Removed from the Conquest Map
  • Harpy
    • XP value increased from 30 → 45
    • Gold value increased from 13 → 28

    • Health per Min increased from 30 → 70
  • Cyclops Rogue (NEW)
    • "The new Jungle Buff is one that should be aggressive and should be suitable for any class to pick up. The Protection Reduction Aura buff serves these purposes quite well, favoring early game aggression."

    • Gold value set to 60
    • Base Health set to 790
    • Health per min set to 150

    • Base Health set to 760
    • Health per Min set to 165
Oracle Harpy Camp (NEW)
  • "When we began planning for Season 4 we wanted to focus on addressing some issue with the Conquest map. In the early game there was a much heavier emphasis on Fire Giant side that lead to the duo lane having less to do overall. The Oracle Harpy camp brings some of the early game focus back to the Gold Fury side by giving the duo lanes an objective to fight over. In Season 4 we wanted to add objectives that gave unique types of rewards. Through play-testing we found that tactical advantages like vision or movement were great rewards for these types of objectives."
    • New type of objective that offers early game tactical advantages in addition to XP/Gold.
    • Contains 2 Oracle Harpies
    • Oracle Harpy (NEW):
      • XP value set to 85

      • Health per Min set to 165
    • Location: Gold Fury Camp
    • Spaw Time: 00:30 seconds
    • Respawn Time: 3:00
    • Rewards:
      • If a team kills both Oracle Harpies, that team is given vision of the Gold Fury pit for 90 seconds.
        • This vision cannot be countered by Sentry Wards
        • Vision granted by the Oracle Harpies does not reveal Wards nor Stealthed units
        • Neither team gets vision if Kills are split
      • Total Camp XP is set to 170
      • Total Camp Gold is set to 84
Boss - Portal Demon (NEW)
  • "Similar to The Oracle Harpy, we wanted to provide more objectives to fight over at key stages of the game. Where Gold and Fire Giant have their purpose, none of them allow for a team to gain a direct positioning advantage. The Portal Demon boss now gives teams flexibility in what objective they want to prioritize by giving them brief control over the Fire Giant pit."
    • New type of objective that offers late game tactical advantages in addition to XP/Gold for reasons
    • Boss - Portal Demon (NEW):
      • Team XP value set to 100
      • Team Gold value set to 150
      • Base Health set to 2500

  • Increased starting Gold reward from 150 → 190
  • Decreased Gold reward increase per minute from 10 → 8
  • Base Health decreased from 2700 → 2200
  • Health per Min increased from 216 → 380
Boss - Fire Giant
  • Base Health decreased from 7000 → 3750
  • Health per min increased from 130 → 520

Season 4 Consumable Updates


Rituals
"A new type of item comes to SMITE as a Consumable! The powerful Ritual Items are designed to enhance the late game experience of SMITE. When your build was finished, there were very few options for players to help end the game. Rituals will now provide way more options, but at a very high cost, especially since you only get one use per purchase. These items will allow skilled players to make truly amazing plays in the late game."

Features
  • Only usable after Level 10

Chalices
"Another new Consumable enters SMITE, but these are for the early game. Chalices allow players to invest an initially large amount of Gold for a stack of Potions or Wards that can be refilled. These are priced appropriately to fit well into starting builds."

Features
  • They work like a stack of Potions
  • Duration is refreshed, not stacked, on multiple uses
  • Have a specified maximum charges

Potion of Magical Might
  • Increased duration from 3m → 5m

Potion of Physical Might Potion of Physical Might
  • Increased duration from 3m → 5m

Season 4 Relic Updates


"Relics are seeing a variety of balance changes, as well as two more system changes. The smaller of which is new names and Icons. Relics have been renamed to their historical SMITE names and are also now all actually in reference to Relics, aka legendary objects. The larger new feature is Relic Upgrading! In Season 4 at any time in a match, you may pay 500 Gold to upgrade your Relic for a specified bonus. This adds a good bit of complexity to build order allows for more meaningful choices in selecting which Relics to use."

  • Update Relic Descriptions
  • Relics can be Upgraded
    • Select a Relic you already own and spend 500g to upgrade the Relic at any time.

Blink Rune
  • Previously known as Blink
  • Can be upgraded
    • Cooldown decreases from 120s → 90s

Cursed Ankh

"In Season 4, we want to focus on each Relic's most unique element. Curse is having its Slow removed to allow its Healing Reduction features to shine. This relic might seem weaker overall, but against specific healing heavy teams it is now much stronger."
  • Previously known as Curse
  • Increased Healing Reduction duration from 5s → 10s
  • No longer slows
  • Can be upgraded
    • Healing Reduction increases from 50% → 65% and duration increases from 10s → 15s

Hand of the Gods

"Hand of the Gods was originally designed to be a jungle clear assistance tool, and it will be returning to that form again in Season 4. Using a Relic to secure jungle bosses really took away from gods who had great abilities for this same purpose, so HoG (or Wrath) won't be filling that niche anymore. To compensate for its loss of jungle boss effects, it is gaining a strong cooldown reduction for getting the killing blow on jungle monsters."
  • Previously known as Wrath
  • Now deals 300 + 10 per Level Damage to a single enemy Minion or Jungle Monster within 12 units. Target will be the one with highest max HP. The Relic's Cooldown will be reduced by 30s if you kill a Jungle Mob with it. Deals no damage to Jungle Bosses.
  • Can be upgraded
    • Now also stuns all enemy gods in range

Heavenly Wings
  • Previously known as Sprint
  • Now only cleanses slows upon activation, does not provide Slow Immunity throughout the duration
  • Can be upgraded
    • All allies hit by this effect are immune to Basic Attack Slow penalty.

Magic Shell
  • Previously known as Shell
  • Base Protections received decreased from 45 → 30
  • Damage mitigation reduced from 15% → 5%
  • Can be upgraded
    • Protections given increases from 30 → 45 and Mitigation Buff increases from 5% → 10%

Meditation Cloak
  • Previously known as Meditation
  • Can be upgraded
    • Provides all allies hit with a Buff of 45 MP5 and 15 HP5 for 30s

Phantom Veil
  • Previously known as Phantom
  • New Visual FX and Audio
  • Removed Basic Attack Slow Immunity
  • Now applies 40% CC reduction and Immunity to knockups to allies affected by it.

    • Cooldown decreases from 160s → 130s

Shield of Thorns
  • Previously known as Thorns
  • Damage Reflect increased from 40% → 50%
  • Can be upgraded
    • Duration increases from 5s → 8s and Cooldown decreases from 120s →100s

Sundering Spear

  • Updated Audio
  • Protection and Attack Speed Debuffs removed, now increases Damage taken by the target by 30% for 5s
  • Can be upgraded
    • Damage increases from 40 + 14 per level → 60 + 20 per level and cooldown decreases from 120s → 100s

Teleport Glyph

  • Can be upgraded
    • Cooldown decreases from 150s → 120s

Bracer of Undoing

"A brand new Relic is making its appearance in SMITE. Bracer of Undoing falls into the realm of Beads and Aegis, by giving an individual player a strong tool to prevent their own death. This Relic allows for players to heavily bait their enemies, thinking they will secure a kill, but it can be countered by Healing Reduction."
  • Using this item subtracts 3s from all Abilities currently on Cooldown and restores 50% Health and Mana lost within the last 3s. Cooldown -120s
  • Can be upgraded
    • Recent Damage Time increases from 3s → 5s

Season 4 Item Update


"With Season 4, we are making a large number of changes to items with a few goals in mine. First and foremost, we want players to have more control and options over their starting builds. We added new Starting Items and reduced the cost of most Tier 1 items, allowing for players to mix and match items together in ways that haven't be available before. This should provide a good foundation for players to explore non-traditional roles, such as Warrior supports or Mage Solos. Additionally, Item Passives are more focused on finding opportunities to counter build against opponents. Core stats like CDR and Penetration are found on more items and are tied to more unique effects, allowing for increased diversity when building these stats. Support players will also find a variety of new aura and utility options to assist their team.

With our Season 4 patch, there are many new items, effects, and balance changes and we want players to experiment on PTS with these new choices. We will be watching closely and making final balance and design decisions as PTS unfolds."
  • Can now sort the store by Crowd Control Reduction % (CCR)
  • New Stat - Penetration
    • Can be found on items available to all gods. It applies the proper pen to your stats depending on if you are Magical or Physical once purchased.

  • Decreased Mana from 100 → 50
  • Added 5 MP5

Bumba's Mask

"Bumba's Mark is seeing significant changes in Cost Reduction, increased Damage, and the removal of Gold splitting. In Season 4, we want Junglers to have more diverse God selection, builds and more independence. The large adjustments to Conquest synergize with these goals."

  • Removed MP5
  • Added 50 Health

Sands of Time

"This Starter Item is a hybrid utility Item that could be utilized by many Mages and some Guardians. While Soul Stone is for pure Damage and Vampiric Shroud is for Health Sustain, Sands of Time is for Mana and Cooldown, a starting stat gap that existed for Support and hybrid Mages."

  • +5 MP5

  • PASSIVE - This item grants 1 additional MP5 per 10% of your missing Mana

  • New PASSIVE that buffs all Abilities used after stacks are consumed for 3s, instead of only buffing one Ability. Also removed MP5 on stacks and restores Mana when stacks are consumed.

War Flag

"This item is design specifically to facilitate Warrior and Assassin picks in the Duo Lane or Support Role, and has interesting applications in game modes besides Conquest. This item requires a teammate to make use of its Passive, and allows Warriors to play more as more aggressive versions of their Guardian counterparts. It has distinct advantages from Watcher's Gift that encourage early game aggression while sacrificing the Gold Bonus."
  • Costs 800 Gold
  • +10 Physical Power
  • +100 Health
  • +5 MP5

  • +100 Magical Power

Obsidian Shard
  • Increased Cost from 2050 → 2300

Divine Ruin

"Mages are great at applying Divine Ruin's Passive with their large area effect spells, but often times Mages did not want to itemize into a low power Lifesteal Item. Divine Ruin is keeping its name and Passive, but losing its Lifesteal and moving to the Magic Focus tree. With added Magical Penetration to make it easier to use when anti-heal is needed."
  • Costs 2400 Gold

  • +15 Magical Penetration
  • PASSIVE - Enemies hit by your Abilities have 50% reduced Healing and Regeneration for 8 seconds.

Spear of Desolation

"Spear of Desolation had an interesting Passive and extreme Power, but the Item saw little use. The cost and unreliability of the Passive combined to make the item less attractive, so it is seeing large changes. This item will now provide Magical Penetration and Cooldown Reduction, to help Mages itemize into stats they really want, but the cost must remain somewhat high for such a powerful stat combination."
  • Decreased Cost from 3800 → 2700total
  • Decreased Magical Power from 120 → 70

  • +20 Magical Power

Stone of Fal

"Stone of Fal gives mages the ability to hard counter the opposing mage at a cost.

Void Stone
  • Now built off of Druid's Stone item tree
  • Magical Protection increased from 60 → 70

Magical Power and Physical Protection Tree

Celestial Legion Helm

"Through many balance changes Celestial Legion Helm became too strong for a reason completely unrelated to its passive, giving mages a very strong source of physical protection in the early game. Celestial Legion Helm is being redesigned as an opposite to Lotus Crown. Now when players receive a heal from a god with this item they will gain increased Physical and Magical Power. Additionally this item provides the user with more raw power at the cost of protections allowing the user to be more powerful instead of defensive."
  • 60 Magical Power
  • 30 Physical Protection
  • 20 MP5
  • NEW PASSIVE - Any god affected by your ability heals gains 20 Increased Physical and Magical Power for 5 seconds

Jade Emperor's Crown

To balance these effects out, Witchblade will now only reduce Attack Speed, Runic Shield will only reduce Magical Power, and this new item will reduce Physical Power."

Ethereal Staff

"As SMITE develops, our design goals have become more focused. All items that had "Stat Conversion" Passives have been phased out, and now Ethereal Staff, the last one remaining, also will see an update. We feel that unique Passives and clear itemization towards specific stats are much healthier for the game than stat conversions. The item finds a new home as a way to maximize Damage on low Cooldown Magical gods, especially against tanky opponents."
  • Costs 2700 Gold
  • Now builds off Fortified Scepter
  • +90 Power
  • +200 Health
  • +20% Crowd Control Reduction

Rod of Healing

"Both Rod of Healing and Rod of Asclepius are having their healing buffs adjusted to be more potent in combat. As healing continues to be a hotly debated subject in SMITE, we feel that out of combat healing is much less fun for all players than in combat healing. Season 4 adds more items to counter healers, but that means healers need some additional tools to reward them for playing & itemizing well."
  • Decreased Aura of increased Healing from 10% → 5%
  • Added 2nd AURA - If you are in combat, you provide 10% additional Healing to allies within 70 units

Telkhines Ring

"A new luxury tier item has been added with a re-design of Telkhines Ring. Previously the item had very limited viability and was mostly outclassed by Demonic Grip. The new Passive clearly separates the two items into different cost tiers and use cases. Demonic Grip serves as a better item against tanks by reducing target's Protection by a percentage while Telkhines Ring takes hold as the more selfish option, increasing only your own Power to take down squishy enemies."

Titan's Bane
  • Increased Cost from 2050 → 2300

Brawler's Beat Stick

"Brawler's Beat Stick was too often picked up on all Assassins, even when there was no healing on the enemy team. Penetration is a valuable stat but this item should not be so strong as to be picked up every game. It is seeing a slight increase to the Healing Reduction and decrease in Penetration to encourage more varied builds and stronger counter building."
  • Decreased Cost from 2400 → 2200
  • Decreased Physical Penetration from 20 → 15
  • PASSIVE - Healing Reduction increased from 40% → 50%

The Crusher

"The Crusher is no longer focused on crushing the enemy structures, but crushing them with Abilities. Hunters who have more power in their Abilities have lacked an item that specifically helped them scale into the late game with Basics, but allowed their Ability based kits to shine. With Power, Attack Speed, Penetration, and Cooldown Reduction for doing what Hunters do, this item should fit nicely into builds that want to focus on Ability usage instead of raw Basic Attack Damage."
  • Costs 2300 Gold
  • +30 Physical Power
  • +15% Attack Speed
  • +15 Physical Penetration
  • PASSIVE - Successfully hitting an enemy god with a basic attack will subtract 1s from all your abilities currently on cooldown. This effect can only occur once every 5s

Runeforged Hammer

"Runeforged Hammer in Season 3 was on the way to viability with a strong synergy with Slows, but the effect was over complicated and hard to optimize within a team.

  • Power increased from 30 → 40
  • NEW PASSIVE - Enemies take 10% Bonus Damage from you if they are affected by any form of Crowd Control.

Shillelagh

  • +10 Physical Power
  • +100 Health
  • +100 Mana

Blackthorn Hammer

"The dark and magical bark of the blackthorn tree creates a new hammer weapon for the gods of SMITE.

  • Costs 2300 Gold
  • +30 Physical Power
  • +200 Health
  • +200 Mana
  • PASSIVE - If you are reduced to below 30% HP, all of your Cooldowns are reduced by 3s, and all of your Abilities cost 0 Mana to cast for the next 5s. This effect can only be activated once every 60s.

For Season 4, we are making the entire Katana tree melee only, allowing us to create even more specialized items for Warriors and Assassins without having to worry about Hunters breaking them or people buying them on accident."

Katana
  • Decreased Cost from 800 → 700

Masamune

"The Melee only tree has two options that focus more on Assassin styles of play so we wanted to create a new item for Warriors that aid them in one of their primary roles, backline diving and Disruption."

Due to how protections and health scale, too much health can result in a tank meta while too little can result in seeing no play from these items. We are shifting our focus for this tree to be more focused around strong passive effects with health as a strong bonus stat."

Stone of Gaia

"Knockups are generally considered to be the strongest CC due to them not being affected by CCR, Diminishing Returns, and can only be cleansed pre-emptively. Due to the potent nature of knockup we felt there was room for an item that specifically combated it."

"Shield of Regrowth has a fun utility Passive, but it was previously locked to only Physical gods. Many Magical gods could use this Passive to great effect and now they will have the chance to.

  • Increased CDR from 10% → 20%
  • Adds 10 HP5
  • Adds 10 MP5
  • Increased Passive Movement Speed Buff from 35% → 40%

Gauntlet of Thebes

"Although Gauntlet of Thebes seemed like it could be an extreme necessity for self healing gods, it saw little use in Season 3. It is being repurposed as a more general support item that Guardians can opt into if they want to provide even more stats to their teammates."
  • Removed old Aura
  • NEW PASSIVE - AURA - The Magical and Physical Protections of allies within 70 units are increased by 20.

God Changes

Aphrodite

"While most healers and healing items saw a reduction in strength, Aphrodite is remaining largely untouched in that department. She has overall been struggling to make an impact and we wanted to help her rather than punish her for the reduced healing overall. She is receiving some small changes that should help the better fight in the lane and allow her to scale into a larger thread in the mid and late game."

General
  • Increased Base Health from 355 → 380

Back Off!
  • Increased Magical Power Scaling from 60% → 80%

Apollo

"So Beautiful will now deal full Damage to the Minion Wave rather than being reduced per Minion hit. Apollo's ability to push and clear the wave is receiving a large increase in Power for this so we needed to compensate by hitting one of his strengths. Apollo is known for his global pressure, but in the late game 90 seconds was allowing Apollo to pressure the enemy team a bit too often. Now at 110s at all ranks, Across The Sky now matches similar global effects in Cooldown."

So Beautiful
  • Removed the effect that causes successive enemies take 15% reduced Damage

Across the Sky
  • Increased Cooldown from 110/105/100/95/90 → 110s at all ranks

Bakasura

"Bakasura can be a strong boxer and Jungler, but he often struggles to get his Damage onto his enemy in the mid and late game. Regurgitate now applies a Slow that persists on his enemies giving him better chase potential during his Ultimate on enemies he successfully "threw up" on."

Regurgitate
  • Increased Slow from 15/20/25/30/35% → 20/25/30/35/40%
  • Changed Slow duration to be 4s instead of applying only in the area
  • Increased Cone Attack Duration from 5s → 6s

Chang'e

"Like other healers, there is a large focus on adjusting the strength of healing and compensating them elsewhere. Moonflower Dance's heal now has less heal scaling but more damage scaling, better rewarding Chang'e when she can be aggressive. Moonlit Waltz is now instant which cleans up some edge cases and the Jade Rabbit is much quicker at getting back to Chang'e, letting her have better access to potion and item runs especially in Conquest."

Jade Rabbit
  • Increase Speed to run to Base from 1.7x Player's Speed → 3.5x Player's Speed, decreasing trip time from ~44s → ~34s with Boots in Mid Lane.

Moonlit Waltz
  • Decreased setup time .1s → 0s

Moonflower Dance
  • Decreased Magical Power Scaling on Heal from 40% → 30%
  • Increased Magical Power Scaling on Damage from 30% → 50%

Chronos

"Chronos is the first of 3 gods on this list receiving a significant change. Fatalis effect is a strong boxing tool that most other ranged gods need to itemize into. By getting it for free Chronos, Jing Wei, and Sol had a strong leg up on their lane opponents. We have removed Fatalis effect from Chronos and adjusted his base movement speed and lowered the cooldown on Accelerate to help him still get around and be effective."

General
  • Increased Base Movement Speed from 355 → 360

Accelerate
  • No longer provides Immunity to Basic Attack Movement Penalty
  • Cooldown decreased from 17s → 15s

Erlang Shen

"Erlang Shen's ability to chase and control his opponents has largely contributed to his strength and frustration. While he has to sacrifice a large Cooldown with his Taunt and the flexibility of his Turtle or Mink Charge, Pin crippled and came up fairly often. The Cripple has been removed to give a little more counterplay to his chase potential."

Pin
  • This ability no longer Cripples

Freya

"Freya has seen a rise in power, being a flexible jungler and magical hunter. We like this role, but found her level 5 power with her ultimate a bit too high for her late game scaling. Valkyrie's Discretion is seeing an early game base damage reduction to better define her as a late game powerhouse."

Valkyrie's Discretion
  • Decreased Base Damage from 120/150/180/210/240 → 100/135/170/205/240

Guan Yu

"Guan Yu is another healer seeing a shift. His healing is being overall reduced but he is receiving a large damage increase to his ultimate to compensate. Warrior's Will is also receiving an adjustment that is focused around removing high slows that self apply diminishing returns. We will be watching this shift closely to see where he falls once new items are in play."

Conviction
  • Decreased Base Healing from 65/95/125/155/185 → 50/75/100/125/150
  • Decreased Boosted Healing from 130/190/250/310/370 → 100/150/200/250/300

Warrior's Will
  • Decreased Mana Cost from 60/70/80/90/100 → 60/65/70/75/80
  • Slow Reduced from 30% → 20%
  • Boosted Slow reduced from 60% → 40%

Cavalry Charge
  • Increased Base Damage from 75/100/125/150/175 → 85/115/145/175/205

Hel

"Hel has had quite a history in Smite. At times she was unbeatable, and at other times she was hardly noticed. Balancing her has always been a challenge, mostly due to her massive AoE healing. The series of changes to her in 4.1 are aimed at a few things. Her AoE healing is being reduced, and more emphasis is being place on her skills shots. Additionally, her base stats and clear abilities have been adjusted to make her a bit safer in the laning phase, giving her much needed consistency."

General
  • Increased Base Health from 345 → 380

Decay / Restoration
  • (Dark Stance) This ability now passes through hit targets, dealing damage. And explodes at max range or upon hitting a wall
  • (Light Stance) This ability no longer deals damage or hits enemies. This ability now hits friendly Gods only, healing them on hit and then healing Hel if the hit was successful
  • Light Ally Heal: 60/90/120/150/180 +30%
  • Light Self Heal: 60/90/120/150/180 +30%

Hinder / Cleanse
  • (Light Stance) CC Immunity increased from 1.25s → 1.5s

Repulse / Inspire
  • (Light Stance) This ability now heals smaller amounts every 1s for the 6s duration
  • Light Heal: 5/10/15/20/25 + 5% scaling each 1s for 6s

Switch Stances
  • MP5 now applies to both stances and decreased from 15/20/25/30/35 → 5/10/15/20/25
  • Light Stance now provides additional Magical and Physical Protections of 5/10/15/20/25

Hercules

"Hercules has a great two Ability combo that should be preserved, but he has been struggling quite a lot over the years. To improve his playability, we are adjusting his Passive to give him bonus Power whenever he is fighting gods, not only when he is near death. Also, Mitigate Wounds is seeing changes to heal a more clear amount, while providing Protections that encourage him to use this Ability in combat instead of between fights."

Strength From Pain
  • NEW:Everytime Hercules takes Damage from Gods, he gains 5 Physical Power +1 multiplied by your level, stacking up to 3 times and lasting 5s.

Earthbreaker
  • Decreased Mana Cost from 70/75/80/85/90 → 60/65/70/75/80

Mitigate Wounds
  • NEW: When activated, Hercules heals himself instantly and then heals himself again over the next 5s. Also, Hercules gains Bonus Magical and Physical Protections for the duration.
  • Initial Heal 75/100/125/150/175
  • Heal Over Time 75/100/125/150/175 (15/20/25/30/35 per tick)
  • Protections 10/20/30/40/50
  • Decreased Cooldown from 17s → 15s
  • Decreased Mana Cost from 60/65/70/75/80 → 60 at all ranks

Hun Batz

"Hun Batz's Overhead Smash is seeing a scaling increase to make it more worthwhile to cast late game, especially considering the long wind up. Additionally, Somersault's Slow has been slightly decreased to make it avoid self diminishing returns."

Overhand Smash
  • Increased Physical Power Scaling from 85% → 95%

Somersault
  • Decreased Slow from 50% → 40%

Jing Wei

"Since her inception, Jing Wei has had a very unique Passive that has given her strong lane pressure. We have adjusted multiple things in the past to make this a bit more even, but with Season 4 we are hitting her Passive duration by a second, slightly limiting how close she can get to a fight after backing. With this, we also removed Fatalis, which gave her very strong boxing potential and lowered her Base Health Scaling and Movement to make up for her clear strength of survivability. We will be watching her performance closely on the PTS."

General
  • Decreased Health Scaling from 78 → 72 per level
  • Decreased Base Movement Speed from 370 → 365

Rapid Reincarnation
  • Decreased Duration from 5s → 4s

Agility
  • No longer provides Immunity to Basic Attack Movement Penalty
  • Decreased Mana Cost from 75 at all ranks → 75/70/65/60/55

Khepri

"Scarab's Blessing is a fight and game changing Ultimate that comes up a bit too often during the course of the game. Its Cooldown is being increased to make these Ultimates more impactful, while giving Khepri a bit more Damage and pressure consistently with Solar Flare."

Solar Flare
  • Increased Base Damage from 40/80/120/160/200 → 50/100/150/200/250

Scarab's Blessing
  • Increased Cooldown from 90s → 110s

Medusa

"There is nothing more terrifying than a giant snake lady charging towards you with claws at the ready. Lacerate is a tool that Medusa players use when they feel they can use their escape aggressively, and we want to make sure the Damage for that choice is worth it. Additionally, allowing it to reduce healing more early on can add additional utility that might make her more valuable in certain matchups. Petrify is also seeing a buff, allowing her Damage to be more consistent if players do manage to look away in time."

Lacerate
  • Increased Base Damage from 80/120/160/200/240 → 80/130/180/230/280
  • Increased Healing Reduction from 10/20/30/40/50% → 50% at all ranks

Petrify
  • Increased Damage on turned away targets from 50% → 75% of the total

Ne Zha

"Ne Zha has a lot of tools at his disposal, and we wanted to highlight the skillful aspects of his kit a bit more. Flaming Spear and Armillary Sash are Ne Zha's primary tools of survival and allowing them to be up more often will help Ne Zha get into a fight. Since his survivability has gone up, we took some power away from his poke and clear with a nerf to Universe Ring Toss."

Universe Ring Toss
  • Increased Cooldown from 12s → 14s

Flaming Spear
  • Decreased Cooldown from 18s → 18/17/16/15/14s

Armillary Sash
  • Decreased Cooldown from 18/17/16/15/14s → 14s at all ranks

Nike

"Nike just keeps on winning. Who knew the Goddess of Victory would embrace that quality? Nike provides strong early game Damage and leads her team to victory in the late game with her Passive and engage Power. She is seeing a slight nerf to all three of these aspects to allow for the enemy team a better shot at seeing the victory screen."

To Victory!
  • Decreased Bonus Power from 8/10/12% → 6/8/10%

Rend
  • Decreased Physical Power Scaling from 50% → 40% per hit

Sentinel of Zeus
  • Decreased Physical Power Scaling from 80% → 70%

Nu Wa


Clay Soldiers
  • Soldiers' Basic Attacks now deal Magical Damage instead of Physical Damage

Ra

"Ra is a perfect example of how we want to shift healers in Season 4. Out of combat healing was a large source of frustration, so Ra's Base Healing has been reduced. To compensate, he now provides increased Armor in Solar Blessing, encouraging this Ability to be used strategically to mitigate Damage during combat instead of behind a wall away from the fight."

Solar Blessing
  • Decreased Base Healing from 20/30/40/50/60 → 10/20/30/40/50 per tick
  • Decreased Magical Power scaling on healing from 15% → 10% per tick
  • Now Provides 10/15/20/25/30 Magical and Physical Protections to allies insidethe Ability

Rama


Rolling Assault
  • Cooldown increased from 12/11/10/9/8 → 11s at all ranks

Serqet

"Serqet was a dominant force of mobility and burst, but saw quite a few nerfs before she became outclassed by other Assassins. One aspect of her kit that we wanted to make sure felt rewarding was her Passive, which can contribute a large amount of burst when used well. Players who can use this Passive well will see new kill opportunities that were previously just out of reach."

Catalyst
  • Increased Damage from consuming 2 Poisons from 10% → 15% of the target's Max Health
  • Increased Damage from consuming 3 Poisons from 20% → 25% of the target's Max Health

Skadi

"Skadi released to a large amount of success. As a low mobility Hunter, her ability to harass and create distance let her excel, but players eventually got familiar with her weak points. We like her ability to create space with strong uses of Kaldr, Permafrost, and Slows and we wanted to highlight this playstyle by giving her access to a bit more Movement Speed."

General
  • Increased Base Movement Speed from 370 → 375

Rune of the Hunt
  • Decreased Kaldr's Basic Attack Damage from 50/70/70/90/90% → 40/50/60/70/80% of Skadi's Basic Attack Damage

Permafrost
  • Increased Movement Speed from 25% → 40%

Sol

"Sol is the final God to see Fatalis effect removed from her kit. She is getting a slight increase to her Movement Speed in the late game to compensate for this removal."

Disapparate
  • No longer provides immunity to Basic Attack Movement Penalty
  • Increased Movement Speed buff from 20/25/25/25/30% → 20/25/30/35/40%

Sun Wukong

"Sun Wukong has hit the gym and is ready to show off his new Undefeated Body. Instead of providing Critical Strike chance, while at low Health, Sun Wukong receives raw Physical Power, allowing him to better fight at low Health. Additionally, Somersault Cloud has increased Base Damage, allowing players who sacrifice the healing from the ultimate to use it more aggressively."

Undefeated Body
  • Increased Health Threshold for the effect from 35% → 40%
  • No longer grants Critical Strike chance
  • Now provides 10 Physical Power + 2 Physical Power per Level

Somersault Cloud
  • Damage increased from 140/190/240/290/340 → 200/250/300/350/400

Susano

"Susano saw a large number of nerfs after his introduction to Season 3, and since then he has fallen off in both casual and competitive play. We want to bring some of his power back without reintroducing frustration. Wind Siphon will now deal more damage in the late game, and Typhoon will now scale in damage as it charges, rather than needing to be at full charge to get any benefit. These two changes should give him a bit more pressure without increasing his main damaging abilities or mobility."

Wind Siphon
  • Increased Physical Damage Scaling from 25% → 60%

Jet Stream
  • Changed the Ability Description to correctly indicate the actual Damage from 20/35/50/65/80 → 20/30/40/50/60
  • Changed the Physical Damage Scaling to correctly match the Ability Description from 35% → 30% per tick (140% instead of 120% total scaling)

Typhoon
  • Now deals Bonus Damage the longer it charges, in addition to the Base Damage. Maxing out at 100 Damage at all ranks

Sylvanus

"Sylvanus and Grover made quite a splash at HRX. We are looking to shift him similarly to other healers in Season 4. Wisps is seeing a slight decrease, while Verdant Growth will now apply its Protection Reduction on Rooted enemies, giving Sylvanus better kill potentially when he can successful land his combo."

Verdant Growth
  • Now Applies Protection Reductions of 5/10/15/20/25 for 5s on hit of enemy gods

Wisps
  • Decreased Base Healing from 25/30/35/40/45 → 15/20/25/30/35 per tick
  • Decreased Magical Power Scaling on Healing from 15% → 10% per tick

Terra

"Terra is also being adjusted with the rest of the healers this patch. Monolith and Terra's Blessing are seeing reductions, and Terra is gaining a stronger Force of Nature to compensate. Good Terra players should now find opportunities to be more aggressive, and potentially even land two of these strong Forces of Nature to really put pressure on their opponents."

Force of Nature
  • Increased Base Damage from 60/100/140/180/220 → 60/110/160/210/260

Monolith
  • Decreased Base Healing from 5/10/15/20/25 → 3/6/9/12/15 per tick

Terra's Blessing
  • Decreased Base Healing from 100/200/300/400/500 → 100/150/200/250/300

Thoth

"Thoth is seeing a few adjustments to highlight his kits strength and move him slightly away from a late game ultimate bot. Evade and Punish now has a stun component, giving him an extra tool to survive or set up, and Glyph of Pain now provides even more to allies who shoot through it to better reward teams who use this unique ability. Final Judgement will now be on a longer cooldown and has reduced damage to accomodate the increased power in Thoth's base kit."

Evade and Punish
  • No longer slows enemies hit by it, now Stuns enemies for 1s at all ranks.

Glyph of Pain
  • Increased Ally Basic Attack Bonus Base Damage from 5/10/15/20/25 → 10/15/20/25/30
  • Increased Ally Basic Attack Bonus Damage Scaling from 5% → 10%

Final Judgement
  • Decreased Base Damage from 360/440/520/600/680 → 360/430/500/570/640
  • Decreased Damage Scaling from 140% → 120%
  • Increased Cooldown from 75s → 90s

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.
