Introduction

Note: Due to RL stuff I'm no longer able to keep this guide up to date at this time. I absolutely love Nox and if I get the time to bring this up to speed for S4 I definitely will, though I'm not making any promises. Thank you all so much for helping make this guide such a success, and please bear in mind that all info in this guide may be irrelevant as of Season 4.

Hey everyone! I'm OMGASIA, casual Smite addict. While I know how to enjoy all casual game modes, I mostly play Joust and Arena. This was originally my first guide, and I created it as I noticed there weren't many Nox guides up. My how it has grown!

This guide won The SmiteFire Season 2 Guide Contest! Thank you so very much, and congrats to all the winners! I have the coolest title ever now, Master of Magic! :D

As I continue to play I will update this guide to keep it relevant. I will also take into consideration any suggestions you leave in the comments section. Yeah for healthy discussion!

Without further ado, here's !

I want that dress!

The New Changes and You! (3.7 Patch Notes)

Patch 3.7 brought some love to our girl! See the full patch notes here!

Siphon Darkness

Decreased cooldown from 15s to 13s.

Shadow Step

Increased magic power scaling from +40% to +70%.

Night Terror

Damage Reduction increased from 30% to 40%.

Increased magical power scaling from +60% to +75%.

What do these changes mean for players? It's now far more rewarding to through an enemy into an ally and then pop back out again. is going to be a bit scarier as well with increased damage and debuff. We can also use more reliably with the shorter cooldown.

3.7 PTS Patch Notes

Season 3 Changes

Old Kit

Pros / Cons

Pros:

High single target damage
AOE Silence
One of the coolest abilities in the game, Shadow Step.
Has a sexy voice

Cons:

Her root is a channeled ability
Very squishy
One of her main damage abilities does nothing to minions or the Titan.
Jiggle Taunt (though this can be argued as a pro)

Playing With Other Gods

This section covers how Nox can interact with other gods. Each section will give you information on how Nox can play with and against the specific Gods.

This will likely take some time for me to complete as I have some family things going on, so I thank you for your patience.

Currently Warriors have been started.

great build for nox

Why spear of the magus and not obsidian shard?

(400) |

My guess is because does DoT damage. It can easily build full stacks for .

Although you'll often initiate with , it doesn't do damage until the end, and it's quickly followed by after being cast.

, when considering only and her enemy, does the equivalent of 45 penetration (30 protection reduction at full stacks, 15 flat pen). This is superior to until an enemy gets around 135 magical protection (33% of 135 is around 45). A squishy building 0 protection items has around 30-50 magical protection at level 20, so even if they get 1 protection item, it's likely Spear is still going to be a better item.

Also, even has a DoT effect, so for ...it just seems like the better choice. Make sense?

Ya thanks!

That must've flown under the radar when it changed! Thank you! I've updated it to reflect the 2 seconds properly.

Welp i misunderstood then. Spear of the magus offers more inherent pen then Spear of Desolation, so magus is more preferred. If you still want desolation than replace the lifesteal. And desolation costs ALOT, it is easier to get when ahead.

It's alright, I'll just stick with Spear. I found another build and mixed the 2 up and love what I'm doing currently!

By Spear? Ima assume you mean rod of tahuti, and the answer is no. A 125 increase to 400 PLUS 25% of that power (which is around 125-135) makes your total power around 650. Its too big of a power boost to get rid of.

Spear of the magus

Could I not just get the Spear of Desolation instead of the Spear? (Smite noob)

Honestly I was thinking maybe Warlock's Sash instaed of this is the definition of supersquish, while the damage is good if something goes wrong, she's pretty screwed.

That's why t full build is labelled as super squish :) You'll find warlock's sash in the second build. I tend to use the 4th.
