Main Patch scheduled to go live: March 10

Welcome to the SMITE 2: Open Beta 5 update! This update introduces our newest deity, Princess Bari, hailing from the Korean Pantheon. Her unique playstyle revolves around Mystic Surge, granting her powerful burst windows where her abilities have no cooldown and gain special bonus effects. With a versatile kit blending mobility, crowd control, and hybrid scaling, Bari is sure to bring new options to the battlefield.

We’re also making changes to gameplay and player customization with this update. Conquest receives a significant overhaul to its gold pacing and minion mechanics to encourage more strategic sieging and reduce unexpected snowballing.

Meanwhile, we’re introducing a major new feature that many have been asking about! Our HUD Editor which will now give you complete control over your in-game interface! You can now play your way, and set various elements such as scale and opacity.

It'll be music to your ears, as we introduce Music Packs from SMITE 1 , allowing you to unlock and personalize your battle soundtrack. Finally, there are plenty of fresh skins and cosmetics up for grabs—don’t miss out on the brand-new Silent Wish Aladdin or the chance to bolster your collection with favorites from SMITE 1’s legacy lineup.

Dive into the detailed patch notes below for the full rundown on Princess Bari’s abilities, the new HUD customization options, gold pacing changes, and everything else in store for Open Beta 5.

GAME MODES

Conquest

Gold Pacing Changes
"Item acquisition throughout the match has been adjusted so that players can build a Tier 3 item every 5 minutes on average. Previously, this timing would get shorter as the match went on due to the higher gold scaling."
-Melee Minions
--Base gold reduced by 2g
--Gold scaling reduced from 0.5g to 0.25g
-Ranged Minions
--Base gold reduced by 2g
--Gold scaling reduced from 0.5g to 0.25g
-Minotaur
--Gold scaling reduced from 1.5g to 1g
-Jungle Camps
--Alpha creature base gold reduced by 1g
--Scorpion base gold reduced by 4g
--Gold scaling reduced from 1.5g to 0.5g
-Player Kills
--Base gold reward for player kills increased from 150g to 200g
--Inferior multiplier increased from 0.1 to 0.25
Minion Changes
-Brutes
-"The goal of the brutes is to assist players with sieging into a structure in the mid and late game. Currently, a mage usually has enough power to clear a wave by themselves at a safe distance. Now, the attacking team will have the opportunity to push minions into a structure and make something happen."
-A brute will replace a melee minion in the waves at set intervals throughout the match
--The first replacement happens at 7 minutes, then at 15 minutes, and finally at 23 minutes
--For example, at the 7 minute mark the wave will now be made up of 1 brute, 2 melee minions, and 3 ranged minions
-Brutes spawn with an anti-magic shield, making them more resilient to magical damage
--They gain 5% magical damage reduction every 3 minutes, capped at 50%
---Magical in-hands will not be affected by this reduction, and are instead reduced by the normal amount
-Brutes have more health and power than a normal melee minion
-Brutes will use the Champion minion model (also known as the Warhorn minion)
--Due to this change, minions affected by the Warhorn buff will no longer change character models
-Minion vs. Minion TTK
-"We noticed a problem with minions piling up and snowballing into large waves and taking down structures by themselves without any player being there to help snowball the wave. These changes are an attempt to ensure that waves move up and down lanes at a more predictable pace if left alone."
--Minions will now do a consistent amount of damage to each other at all points throughout the match
---Previously, minions would struggle to clear each other as the match progressed due to their increased protections
---This should help reduce the amount of minion waves snowballing without player assistance
-Minion vs. Minion Targeting
--Ranged minions will now try to target minotaurs as they move forward passed their normal line formation
--Melee and ranged minions will now attempt to prioritize ranged minions who are standing near the melee line formation
--This change supports the reduction of minion waves snowballing without player assistance
-Fire Minion Bonus Gold Revert
--Fire minions no longer grant bonus gold when slain
Structure Changes
-Penetration Increase
--Tier 1 tower penetration increased to 10% to 20%
--Tier 2 tower penetration increased to 20% to 30%
--Phoenix penetration increased from 30% to 40%
-Minion Counter
--A small counter under the structure’s objective health bar displays how many friendly minions are near the enemy’s tower
Obsidian Dagger Nameplate Effect
-The owner of the Obsidian Dagger will now have an effect applied to their nameplate
Runic Bomb Changes
-Can now destroy the door at the Fire Giant’s pit
-Can now be placed further
-Now has a throw animation
--Has a travel time of 0.5s
Fountain Changes
-Fountain will now recover health and mana every 0.2s instead of every 1s
--The amount of recovery per second still remains the same
Conquest Art Changes
-Tower Base Rings have been updated! They give strong and clear ring based definition of where the towers are located and detail their effective range.
