Main Patch scheduled to go live: January 27
NEW CLASSIC GOD

Chiron
  • General
    - Ranged Basic Attacks
    - Damage Type: Physical
    - Scaling Type: Strength Scaling
  • Passive: Herbal Medicine
    - Gain a charge every 12 seconds. Each time you use an ability, consume a charge to throw a poultice to an injured ally, applying a heal over time.
    - Healed Allies also gain Strength and Intelligence for a duration
    - Poultices prioritize the ally with the lowest health in range.

  • Ability 1: Training Exercise
    - Deploy a constellation, granting Crowd Control immunity to teammates in the area. After a 1 second delay, it explodes dealing Physical Damage to all enemies in the area.

  • Ability 2: Masterful Shot
    - Chiron applies Target Mark when he damages enemies with abilities, reducing their physical protections by 10%. Activating this ability fires a seeking arrows toward all marked targets, dealing Physical Damage and slowing them.
    - Once Chiron has 250 Strength he is able to fire a second larger arrow in a targeted area, dealing 100% of initial damage, plus 15% bonus damage per hit by masterful shot, up to 4 targets.
    - Once Chiron has 2.5 attack speed, Masterful Shot becomes Masterful Flurry. Firing 3 arrows with lower scaling quickly at each target, which proc basic attack item effects.

  • Ability 3: Giddyup!
    - Gallop forward dealing Physical Damage to enemies, knocking up minions, and kicking enemy gods behind you.
    - Chiron is displacement immune while charging
    - Chiron may fire basic attacks and Masterful Shot while charging.

  • Ultimate Ability: Centaurus
    - Transform into a constellation, lowering movement speed but gaining the ability to fire three long distance arrows that pass through walls dealing Physical Damage to all enemies they hit.
    - If Chiron would be killed during this ability, he does not die until he runs out of time or shots.
    - If Chiron would have died, but killed an enemy with his ability, he is returned to life with health equal to the damage dealt instead.
    - Chiron can fire Masterful Shot during this ability

  • Aspect releasing January 30th
    - Aspect of the Heroic Tutor
    -- Chiron’s Target Mark now only applies to one target and he passively copies 10% of damage done to that target, dealing it again as physical damage.
    -- Training Exercise boosts allies Strength and Intelligence when it applies to CC immunity and again when it bursts.
    -- Centaurus has less damage scaling, but slows enemies and grants allies it hits an attack speed buff as well as a shield and .5 seconds of CC immunity.
NEW EVENT AND SAGA:
REIGN OF THE ARCHFIEND


Reign of the Archfiend is a new kind of event for SMITE 2, inspired by the fan-favorite Buy All events in SMITE 1 – kind of like a Season Pass.

For one heavily discounted purchase price, you can unlock all new Wandering Market cosmetic content that will be released in SMITE 2 through the end of March. This includes:
  • One Legendary Saga: The Archfiend Saga Kukulkan
  • Two Reward Travelers
    - Ra’nhur Best Friends
    - Reward Traveler for Mordred
  • Classic Travelers for Eight Gods
    - Da Ji, Discordia, Neith, Janus, Loki, Sol, Artio, and Tsukuyomi
  • Premium Travelers for Two Gods
    - Dragonheart Rebel Jing Wei, Artemis
  • An Additional Collection of Reward Cosmetics
    - Two Titles, a Card Effect, a Ward
All of this content can be unlocked for the discounted price of 8,000 Diamonds.

If you just want to buy a few new Travelers during the event, don’t worry: Travelers will still be available at their normal prices.

If you are buying Travelers outside of the buy-all, you will accumulate Wyrm Seals with each Traveler purchased and unlock rewards gradually. Two Wyrm Seals are available completely for free on the Wandering Market Path, which is refreshing with this update. You will unlock rewards based on the number of Wyrm Seals you collect before the event’s end – including The Archfiend Saga itself.

    - Ba-Gawk! Global Emote
    - Bestfriend - Title
DAILY QUESTS

  • Daily Quests have been reviewed and corrected to give correct XP
    - Note: Now if you are unable to gain Wandering Market XP when you complete a Daily Quest you will instead get 150 Account XP.

  • New Daily Quests added to the pool:
    - Get to Level 20 in (1 || 3) Matches.
    - Use Global Emotes (5 || 15) times.
    - Use Jump stamp (10 || 30) times.
    - Heal (10K || 30K) in the Fountain.
    - Use a non-default skin in (1 || 3) Matches.
    - Note: Weekly Quests will still not give Coins until you are below Coin Cap.
JOUST VISUAL UPDATE

  • Joust has received a large-scale visual update, affecting lighting, textures, and more
    - Full lighting revamp
    - Newly shadowed Jungle areas
    - More detailed material & texture updates
    - A dynamic sky that changes based on your position in the map
    - Subtle mood fog in Jungle spaces (disabled on Low settings)
    - Wet ground on Chaos side (disabled on Low settings)
    - Ambient critters to bring the map to life (disabled on Low settings)
RANKED RESET

  • There will be a harder SR reset than normal, with increased variance (so people will move more)
    - We are looking at the top player, and squishing them down to 3000 SR. Everyone else gets proportionally 'squished' according to that.
    - So if the top person is 6600SR (this is pretty close to the actual amount); they go to 3000SR.
    - A person who is 3300SR would get squished to 1500SR.
    - And then on the back end we are raising variance.
    - We also might be adjusting gain/loss for this next split, as in how fast people can move up and down; but we are locking that in.
QUALITY OF LIFE

  • New Reporting Option: “Not Playing Assigned Role”
    - If a player ignores their role assignment in Conquest, use this option to report them.
    - Note: Playing off-meta God picks or trying a new build is not necessarily not playing the assigned role. However if a Solo laner is in Mid lane, if a Jungler is not Jungling, if a Support is behaving like a laner – those sorts of things qualify as “Not Playing Assigned Role.”
  • Aspect Ability Descriptions Now Display in God Tab
    - Selecting an Aspect in the God tab now updates Ability descriptions to reflect what the Aspect does
  • Red Dot Notifications are Easier to Clear
    - If you visit a tab with notifications, all notifications for that tab are cleared upon leaving the tab.
    - As an example, if you have a notification on a Jump Stamp, the Profile Loadout would have a red dot. If you click the Profile Loadouts, then back out of Profile Loadout, the red dot would be cleared.
    - Similarly, if an Anhur skin has a red dot, you can click on the Gods tab, then click on Anhur, then back out of Anhur and all red dots under Anur would be cleared.
GAME MODES

  • New: Multiqueue (Beta)
    - Players can help us test an early version of Multiqueue in this update.
    - A new tile in Classic allows players to join the Multiqueue (Beta) queue, which will queue you for Conquest, Arena, and Joust simultaneously. You will be placed in the first available good match in those three queues.
    - Parties up to 3 may join this queue.
    - If you play One More Round, you will be requeued for Multiqueue (Beta), not for the mode you just played.
    - This may help players in low-population regions to find matches more quickly.
    - If the underlying tech performs well, this will be expanded in future updates to allow players to multiqueue for player-defined groups of modes.
  • General
    - Entering the fountain now cleanses regen effects from potions and chalices. (Using a potion while inside the fountain will still grant you Health/Mana regen. It will only be removed if you leave and re-enter.)
  • Joust
    - Lane objectives now show the stun duration of the objective debuff
    - The objective debuff now switches to the Phoenix if the debuff is still active when the Phoenix respawns.
  • Assault
    - Artio is now considered a Tier 1 Healer in Random Draft
  • Conquest
    - Floating trees are now firmly attached to the ground

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.
