  • Unleash your inner deity with the Rise of the Gods Collection, the first Wandering Market Collection and the ultimate introduction to the boundless realms of SMITE 2!
  • From the deadly allure of Vixen Nemesis to the bone-chilling might of Lichborne Mordred, the fiery kick of Hot Stuff Poseidon, and the spellbinding charm of Nova Hex Amaterasu, there’s something for everyone.
  • Learn more about the Wandering Market system here.
GAMEPLAY

  • Titans
    - (SMITE 1 Parity) Titans now have similar targeting rules as Towers & Phoenixes
    --Prioritize targeting Minions over Gods
    --Will maintain their target until that target dies, leaves its range, or becomes Untargetable
    ---Exception: If an enemy God within its range damaged a friendly God, and the Titan is not currently targeting a God, it will switch target to the hostile enemy God
    -Reduced overall size of their AoE cleave vs Minions
    -Will no longer mysteriously gravitate towards playermade walls such as Anhur Pillar
  • Towers & Phoenixes
    -(SMITE 1 Parity) Enemy targets are now considered in targeting range only when the center of the target character has crossed into the Tower's radius.
    --This behavior now matches SMITE 1 and essentially makes Towers' aggro range the same for all characters, regardless of their size
    --(Previously, it was checking if the edge of the character had crossed into range, so smaller characters like Cupid could stand closer to Tower without being targeted)
  • Ranged Minions
    - Archers will now attempt to move closer to the enemy Titan when attacking it
GENERAL

  • Added an unequip button to God loadout
  • Added a “Wallet” widget to the profile screen so players can more easily see how much of each in-game currency they own
  • Can now enter practice with selected skins from the God Collections screen
  • Added contextual ping through VGS and minimap (hold Alt on KBM, hold VGS button on controller).
  • Raised Ranked level requirement to 10
GAME MODES


CONQUEST
  • Jungle Bosses
    -The Fire Giant, Gold Fury, Pyromancer, and Naga have had their max level increased from 30 to 40
    --This will give them the capability to scale their stats further into the late game and open up opportunities for us to start adjusting their TTK
    -Increased the visibility range of Gold Fury and Fire Giant
  • Jungle Camps
    -Fixed big harpies staying at one level higher than normal throughout the match
    --For example, if all jungle camps were meant to be level 2 the big harpies were at level 3

  • Lost Knight
    -Increased duration of the objective debuff from 90s to 120s

My reactions/thoughts to the Item changes:

Mantle of Discord - This seems like a pretty balanced new item release to me, with its viability being somewhat niche, meaning it isn't strong in all situations and requires consideration for getting optimal value from it.

Divine Ruin - This is a nice buff that the item was in need of. Definitely doesn't make it OP by any means, but doesn't penalize you for picking up healing reduction.

Chronos' Pendant - Another needed buff. This item was weaker than the other cooldown reduction options. This puts it more in line.

Soul Reaver - The one thing I can say with certainty about this change is that it put Soul Reaver more in allignment with Heartseeker, whereas before it was significantly weaker.

Jade Scepter - This is actually a small buff for the item, but was unneeded in my opinion. It is still balanced, but slightly on the strong side.

Leather Cowl & Hunter's Cowl - This item is OP now. Ridiculous buff.

Conduit Gem & Sands of Time - Solid buffs. This is fine.

Spear of Desolation - Good buff that pushes the item towards balanced. Definitely not overly strong outside of arena/assault.

Staff of Myrddin - Solid buff. Balanced/niche item still.

Glorious Pridwen - That is a significant buff. This item is strong now.

Spirit Robe - Unreal that this item got a buff. It did not need one. Very strong, makes frontliners very annoying/tanky/CC-resistant.

Mystical Mail - Minor buff. This item is still somewhat weak.

Shield Splitter - A solid, needed buff and quality of life improvement.

Lifebinder - Disabling the item in Duel was definitely needed. As far as other game modes go, this is a decent nerf that puts the item in more of a balanced state, but can still be abused early game in 1v1 situations.

Hussar's Wings - That is a hefty nerf. The item was in need of a nerf, but the 700 gold cost increase here may be a bit heavy-handed and scare players away from picking it up outside of late game situations.

I get that S1 and S2 values aren't fully equivalent, but 35 protections seems a bit on the low side. I would either jump the prots a bit or decrease the CD to 90s maybe.

Hussar's Wings - That is a hefty nerf. The item was in need of a nerf, but the 700 gold cost increase here may be a bit heavy-handed and scare players away from picking it up outside of late game situations. This item NEEDS to be late-game only. When it allows you to completely remove the threat of slows (of which some gods only have that CC in their kits (e.g. Kukulkan outside of his ult, and also completely removes the use of Gem of Isolation), it needs to have some kind of way to limit its purchase. High cost is probably best, or you start nerfing the base stats. 40 phys prot, 30 mag prot, and 400 (!!!) health is a ton. How would you balance this if you were in control of it?

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.
