Main Patch scheduled to go live: July 29


Get ready to ricochet into battle! Hou Yi, the Defender of the Earth, has landed in SMITE 2 with a sun-scorched vengeance! With wall-bouncing arrows, hybrid scaling, and celestial control through his Suntouched passive and dazzling ultimate Sunbreaker, Hou Yi brings a fiery twist to the battleground. Plus, his upcoming Aspect of the Mark lets basic attacks bounce between enemies just in time to light up the competition starting August 1!

This update also brings shifts to Conquest, dialing down objective damage while introducing new tweaks to farming and XP camps to promote more active play. Meanwhile, the long-awaited Healing Rework is here! Anti-heal is no longer item-bound, healing and lifesteal have been normalized, and a new wave of utility-focused items gives healing and sustain playstyles new tools to shine.

Open Betsa 15 is shaping up to be one of the biggest SMITE 2 updates yet! Hop on the Battleground and try out everything new!

GAME MODES



Joust & Duel
  • Decreased Titan regen while Phoenix is alive from +0.8% to +0.2% of Max Health per second
Conquest

Conquest balance this patch is targeting some specific map issues. these are smaller changes as we're taking incremental steps to address feedback to get changes out sooner rather than later:

Too much safe farm

We want safe farm to exist in some form as a way to crawl back from a deficit, but we've seen the side camps turn into part of the regular farm rotation for sidelaners, which has encouraged passive playstyles, especially in Solo.
  • The contestable Cyclops camps now grant XP (in addition to Gold)
  • Side camps now spawn later, and less often
  • The side teleporters unlock slightly earlier, but one of the side camps has changed to Oracles which grant vision on the teleporter for some time
Objectives are too lethal

We want to encourage more play around objectives, but currently they are too punishing and which makes them less approachable
  • Gold Fury and Fire giant deal less damage overall
  • To compensate for this, we've added some things to make them not as quick to take down solo:
    - Bosses now inherently take reduced damage from Crit
    - Taking hits from boss attacks applies a debuff that makes you deal less damage to them

HEALING BALANCE UPDATE



High-Level Goals
  • Address Mandatory Anti-Heal:
    - New Player Trap: The current necessity of anti-heal is a common pitfall for new players who may not understand its importance. Heals sometimes being completely fight swinging or largely ineffectual also makes it difficult to identify the strengths specific gods bring to Smite.
    - Limited Build Variety at Higher Levels: Anti-heal items are often mandatory pickups for multiple gods in a match, taking up a slot that could be used for more interesting build opportunities.
  • Give “Healer” roles a more consistent presence
    - Healers will bring a more known quantity to team fights, which is useful for the healer, the person they are healing, and the enemy figuring out how to approach a fight. Jumping from 100% to 25% effectiveness based on being clipped by potentially any effect, can be difficult to track.
    - To help augment this, healing specific itemization should bring even further utility that healers exclusively will bring to team fights.
  • Give “Lifesteal” roles a more consistent presence
    - Similar to above, Anubis can sometimes swing to full health or feel like his gameplay doesn’t exist pretty quickly. We want gods that play with their health pool to be able to more reliably control the risks they want to take without making them unapproachable by enemies.
    - To help augment this, lifesteal specific itemization should bring even further utility that lifesteal exclusively will bring to team fights.
What We Are Removing
  • Anti-Heal from Items: We are eliminating anti-heal from items. This ensures it is not a required build component.
  • Reduced Lifesteal on Items: Lifesteal on all items will be reduced by approximately 25-50%, depending on the item.
  • All Healing Increases on Items: Items will no longer provide direct increases to healing output.
  • Reduced Item Healing: Healing derived from items will be reduced by approximately 30-60%, depending on the item's specific impact.
  • Reduced God Healing: God-specific healing will be reduced by approximately 30-60%, with the reduction amount dependent on the context of the god's heal:
    - Larger reductions apply to heals that are easy to trigger and are more defining for the god in question.
    -- Ex. Aphrodite heal has no restriction on using it, is accessible due to its low cooldown, and is a major component of what she brings.
    -- Ex. Baron Samedi’s Consign Spirits does require hitting an enemy god, but can apply to a full team. Its ‘base’ amount of healing was more reduced, while its conditional component of healing hurt targets was hit a bit less.
    - Lesser reductions apply to heals that are conditional and are more minor for the god in question.
    -- Ex. Aspect Ra Ultimate is on a significant cooldown, so it didn’t receive as large of a reduction.
    -- Ex. Most “Solo” Lane gods combat oriented sustain. Achilles’ Radiant Glory or Hua Mulan's Spear Thrust. These require more effort to trigger and put them more at risk, and tend not to have the same top end potential as true healers.
    - Most healing is more heavily reduced towards higher levels and scaling. We don’t want to interfere too heavily with the laning phase which largely feels like it is in a good spot.
  • Reduced God Anti-Healing:
    - All gods who apply Anti-heal will now apply it at 25% instead of 40%, and they will not stack.
What We Are Adding
  • New Lifesteal Items: Introducing new lifesteal items that offer beneficial effects for building lifesteal, without directly increasing healing output.
  • New Healing-Focused Items: Introducing new items that provide benefits for healing or healing abilities, without directly increasing healing output.
  • Adjusted Existing Items:
    - Brawler's and Contagion: These items have been adjusted to serve as "soft" counters to healing and lifesteal, respectively. We may increase the intensity of the soft counter and introduce a few more in the future.
    - Lernaean Bow and Divine Ruin: The stats for these items have been adjusted to be stronger, compensating for the removal of anti-heal.
  • Item Compensation for Nerfs: For items that experienced closer to a 50% nerf, we will endeavor to add an interesting new component rather than simply leaving them at half strength.
  • God Compensation for Nerfs: For gods that experienced closer to a 50% nerf to their healing, we will provide different utility in their kits to help compensate.
  • Gods Gaining Anti-Heal: Five gods will have anti-heal integrated as a core part of their kits to expand options when drafting against healer heavy compositions:
    - Agni (Noxious Fumes (1))
    - Ares (Searing Flesh (3))
    - Fenrir (Brutalize (3))
    - Izanami (Spectral Projection (2))
    - Aspect Chaac (Rain Dance (3))

  • “While working on this healing pass, it came up that The Reaper, Serrated Edge, and Devourer’s Gauntlets largely filled a very similar role, being largely mathematically similar and with similar ease to gain their effects. We are reworking all three to be more unique in their identities.

  • The Reaper is now a high risk item, with the potential to actually get weaker if you die too frequently.

  • Serrated Edge has been renamed to Barbed Carver to highlight its different function. It now focuses on apply wounds to the enemy, which grant follow up attacks against them bonus scaling.

  • Devourer's Gauntlet is returning to its last hit stacking origins, giving it a more clear role for farm heavy gods. Its evolution allows these stacks to continue, especially if you control objectives on the map. We do know that this previously moved away from this stacking method since stacking was difficult in other modes. We may investigate a specific version of this item for those modes in the future, but felt this gave it a very clear identity within the trio.”

  • The Reaper
    - REMOVED: Current Passive
    - NEW: Passive: When you kill anything, gain a stack that provides 6 Strength for 5s, stacking up to 3 times. Stacks are removed 1 at a time.

ITEM BALANCE


  • Agility Relic (New Relic)
    - “Quickplay has been a fun testing ground for different ideas, and one idea that players coming to the game seem to be enjoying is the ability to frequently dash in and out of combat along with higher projectile speeds for ranged gods. As we continue to work on the new player experience, we also have work to do on helping them transition out of the quickplay to see the full breadth of Smite. A part of this is ensuring tools they have come to enjoy exist in some way outside of their introduction.
    - Agility Relic will now be a choice for all players that will compete with other relics, allowing it to exist but be a distinct tradeoff as it leaves quickplay. It also has a longer cooldown than it did and a unique melee god only benefit to contrast the ranged bonus it granted in quickplay. We do know this is a pretty large potential meta shakeup, so we are currently disabling this relic for Ranked Conquest. We will keep a close eye on how this performs, as well as how the bonus passive effects affect the overall game before we commit to enabling this in Ranked Conquest.
    - It is also unique in being triggered by Shift, which was the default bind for quickplay for it. It will also utilize this bind which is modifiable.”
    - Active: Dash in the direction you are currently moving. Cooldown: 10s.
    - Passive (Ranged Only) : Your projectiles travel 40% faster.
    - Passive (Melee gods only): Your Basic Attacks will lunge forward if an enemy is slightly outside of your Basic Attack range. This does not trigger if you are strafing or backpedaling. (There is cooldown logic to prevent chain dashing to targets trying to flee)

  • “Aside from the Healing adjustments we wanted to look at underperforming Tank and Bruiser itemization now that our previous balance pass has had a lot more time to settle. All items on this list were underperforming, especially to other items similar to them seeing success.”

  • Golden Blade
    - Now builds from Battle Axe and Manchu’s Bow. Cost remains the same.
    - Increased Strength: 20 -> 30

  • Shield Splitter
    - Decreased Cost: 2450 -> 2400
    - Increased Strength: 35 -> 40

  • Erosion
    - Increased Physical Protection: 25 -> 30
    - Increased Magical Protection: 15 -> 20

  • Leviathan's Hide
    - “Leviathan’s permanent health stacking is interesting, but we wanted to put more of the onus on the person holding the item to better optimize gaining stacks.”
    - Removed: Gain 1 Max Health with enemy gods who hit you with Basic Attacks.
    - New Passive: Gain 6 Max Health permanently when you damage an enemy god with a Basic Attack. Cooldown: 10s. Cooldown reduced by 0.5s when taking damage from an enemy god, once per ability or Basic Attack.

  • Berserker's Shield
    - Increased Cost: 2300 -> 2400
    - Increased Physical Protection: 20 -> 30
    - Increased Magical Protection: 10 -> 15

  • Musashi's Dual Swords
    - “Musashi’s was a good way behind the rest of the Critical Strike items and should be a compelling option for our more Melee focused Critical Strike users. This should move it in the right direction.”
    - Decreased Cost: 2750 -> 2700
    - Increased Strength: 30 -> 35
    - Increased Bonus Movement Speed: 10% -> 15%
    - Increased Bonus Speed Buff Duration: 4s -> 5s

  • Magi's Cloak
    - Decreased Cost: 2500 -> 2400
    - Increased Physical Protection: 30 -> 35
    - Increased Magical Protection: 30 -> 35

  • Genji's Guard
    - Increased Magical protection: 45 -> 50
    - Increased Cooldown Rate: 10 -> 15

  • Dwarven Plate
    - “Of the trio of Late Game protection items, this was performing significantly behind the other two. We found an issue that could be a cause of this, as well as felt the item itself needed more bulk on its own.”
    - Increased Physical Protection: 30 -> 35
    - Increased Magical Protection: 30 -> 35
    - Fixed an issue where this was only providing 10% and 20% of your Protections, rather than the intended 12.5% and 25%.

  • Draconic Scale
    - Fixed an issue where the flat bonus protections from this item were not considered Item Protections for other items scaling.
    - NOTE: Flat increases from items like this should contribute to Item Protections. Percentile increases like Dwarven Plate or the % portion of the stack of Draconic Scale do not.
    - NOTE: We had reports of Spirit Robe also having this problem, but upon investigating concluded it is working correctly (As seen with Gladiator’s Shield). If you had reported this issue more details would be appreciated on the specific combination of effects you were trying to utilize.

  • Jade Scepter
    - Decreased Intelligence: 105 -> 90
    - Increased Cooldown: 40s -> 60s
PTS BALANCE AND FIXES


  • Heartwood Charm
    - Fixed an issue on PTS where it was providing 20 Cooldown Rate instead of 10 as intended. (noting this since it was strong on PTS)

  • Breastplate of Valor
    - Reduced Healing Converted: 100% -> 25%

  • Regrowth Striders
    - Increased Heal Duration: 5s -> 10s
    - Decreased Heal Per Tick: 1% -> 0.5% Max Health

  • Blood-Soaked Shroud
    - Decreased Enemy Heal: 1% -> 0.5% Max Health
    - Decreased God Heal Bonus: 2% -> 1% Max Health

  • Spirit Robe
    - Decreased Heal Per Tick: 1% -> 0.667% (6% Total down to 4% total).

  • Daybreak Gavel
    - Decreased Cost: 2750 -> 2650
    - Increased Health: 275 -> 300
    - Decreased Max Stack Count: 4 -> 3
    - Increased Scaling Bonus Per Stack: 10% -> 15%

  • Baron Samedi
    - Consign Spirits (2)
    -- Fixed an issue where the Speed Buff could stack on itself.

  • Princess Bari
    - Spirit's Cadence (4)
    -- Fixed an issue where you could be healed while immune.

  • Sol
    - Disapparate (3)
    -- Fixed an issue where you could be healed while immune.
    - General
    -- Fixed quite a few issues with specific types of heals working or not working with specific items.
    -- Fixed quite a few issues with item interactions, including selling Sanguine Lash for positive gold and Gluttonous Grimoire lacking its max damage cap.
Special thanks to those who took time to play PTS this cycle. We found a lot and it is greatly appreciated.

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.
