Main Patch scheduled to go live: January 13
NEW PORTED GOD

Discordia
  • General
    - Ranged Basic Attacks
    - Damage Type: Magical
    - Scaling Type: Intelligence Scaling
  • Passive: Contest of Gods
    - The God on your team with the highest damage dealth to the enemy gods gains a buff of Strength and Intelligence. Gaining a level or a god kill/assist provides a random temporary buff of Intelligence, Lifesteal or Healing.

  • Ability 1: Unruly Magic
    - Fire out an orb of unruly magic dealing Magical Damage.
    - After reaching the target location, it explodes in a small area dealing Magical Damage before breaking into bouncing minor projectiles that each deal Magical Damage.

  • Ability 2: Strife
    - Create an area that deals Magical Damage
    - Hitting one enemy causes them to be rooted, hitting multiple causes them to attack their nearest ally for Magical Damage.

  • Ability 3: Erratic Behavior
    - Leap and create a field in an area. While within the field you gain Stealth, Movement Speed and your ability cooldowns are decreased.
    - Dealing damage to enemy gods while within the field increases its duration.

  • Ultimate Ability: Golden Apple of Discord
    - Throw the Golden Apple of Discord which deals Magical Damage before exploding in an area dealing Magical Damage and spreading the effects of the apple.
    - Enemies afflicted by the apple effect are crippled and trembled
    - Enemies caught in the explosion take initial damage and a burst of damage at the end of the effect, but do not explode in an area

  • Aspect releasing January 16th
    - Aspect of the Gilded Victor
    -- Contest of Gods only provides you extra Attack Damage from Intelligence. Unruly Magic does not explode but returns back, dealing damage and providing a stack causing your next attacks to explode. Erratic Behavior no longer creates a field of stealth but attack speed and attack damage. Golden Apple of Discord is faster and does not spread.

ITEM BALANCE

  • Bumba's Golden Dagger (Nerf)
    - “We are seeing Junglers have too strong of an impact in the very early stages of the game; both in the potency of their ganks and how much farm they can accumulate. We will likely revisit overall map farm and pacing as we continue to see how the removal of the side camps have affected the map, but adjusting the Jungle starters lets us more quickly target this aspect of Conquest.

    Additionally, we saw a few junglers overperforming. We want to see how this adjusts them first; with the single exception of Da Ji who will receive additional nerfs.”
    - Decreased Adaptive Strength: 15 -> 10

  • Medusa (Buff)
    - “Medusa's Intelligence vs. Strength scaling largely came at the cost of her old playstyle; a style that more intrinsically combined strong attack damage with strong ability pressure. After iterating on Strength and Intelligence as a core mechanic in Smite 2, we've found we prefer hybrid scaling that pushes new playstyles rather than simply splitting attack vs. ability damage. While we may revisit Medusa more comprehensively in the future, these Strength adjustments will bring her closer to her tried-and-true identity.”

    -- Increased Outer Strength Scaling: 12.5% -> 17.5%
    -- Increased Outer Intelligence Scaling: 15% -> 20%
    - Crashing Comet (2)
    -- Increased Buildup Time: 0.7s -> 0.9s (Aspect Only)
    - Warp (3)
    -- Fixed an issue where the Cooldown for this ability was actually 12/11.5/10/10.5/10s instead of the intended 12s.
    -- Increased Cooldown: 12s -> 14s (Aspect Only)
    - [aspect=Aspect of the Cosmos version=2]

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.
