Main Patch scheduled to go live: February 10
NEW CLASSIC GOD

Ne Zha
  • General
    - Melee Basic Attacks
    - Damage Type: Physical
    - Scaling Type: Strength Scaling
  • Passive: Righteous Spirit
    - Build Righteous Spirit stacks by hitting enemies to gain Movement Speed. Stacks reset if you have not taken or dealt damage recently.
    -- Critical Strikes grant bonus stacks
    -- Stacks grant Movement Speed
    -- Gaining a stack permanently increases Critical Strike Damage.

  • Ability 1: Universe Ring Toss
    - Throw your ring to deal Physical Damage which bounces between enemies, applying Physical Protection Debuff and Slows. Subsequent hits deal 35% damage.
    -- Catching the returning ring grants a free single ring that can Critically Strike.

  • Ability 2: Flaming Spear
    - Ignite your spear to gain Attack Speed and Critical Strike chance.
    -- Heal based on your Righteous Spirit Stacks.

  • Ability 3: Armillary Sash
    - Throw your Armillary Sash, Stunning the first enemy god hit and pulling you to them.

  • Ultimate Ability: Wind Fire Wheels
    - Dash forward gaining Protections and becoming CC immune. Hitting an enemy god delays Physical Damage and launches them into the air, triggering a 3-hit combo that deals Physical Damage. Successful timing can allow these to Critically Strike.

  • Aspect releasing February 13th
    - Aspect of the Righteous Flame
    -- Righteous Spirit no longer stacks on hitting enemies. Taking damage charges Righteous Spirit to provide a heal over time. Ring Toss can bounce to allies for a movement and Attack Speed boost. Flaming Spear is now a damaging AoE attack that buffs Ne Zha’s attacks and consumes Righteous Spirit to burst heal.

  • Arena
    - “We previously made adjustments to Arena to speed it up overall, which it definitely did. We saw what generally took 19 minutes went down to ~12.5m. Looking back this change at best didn’t move the needle for the mode, and at worst might have turned people away given the ratio of time in queue to time in match. We like the quicker respawns overall, and believe bringing the ticket count up to 500 will bring this mode closer to 16 minutes which we think will be a nice spot for it.

    We are also making some adjustments to the flower Pickup to provide bulk to tanks who pick it up. This lets them better serve as the frontline for their team, while making it easier to understand what you are gaining from picking it up.”
    - Increased Domination Respawn Time Bonus: 10 -> 18s
    - Increased Ticket Count: 425 -> 500
    - Increased Surrender Time: 8m -> 10m

    -- Reduced Strength / Intelligence Base: 15 -> 0
    -- Reduced Strength / Intelligence Bonus Per 3 Minutes: 10 -> 0
    -- Decreased Intensity of the Material Glow.
    - Battle Cry (Arena Curio)
    -- Increased Stack Count: 5 -> 10
    -- Increased Stacks from God Kills: 1 -> 2
    -- Increased Stacks from God Assists: 0 -> 1
    -- Increased Stacks from Dying: 1 -> 2
    -- Decreased Stats from Items from Stacks: 3% -> 1.5%
    -- Decreased Movement Speed from Stacks: 3% -> 1.5%
    -- Decreased Buff Duration from 6s -> 3s

  • Joust
    - “Joust is a relatively small map, and with the addition of the Bifrost Shard it was too easy to cover all the major chokepoints to have constant vision on your enemy. We think the Gjallarflare is going to be better for Joust, giving you targeted vision to see if players are doing a specific camp or boss; but only for a smaller window of time.”
    - Replaced the default Curio with Gjallarflare.
    - Removed Bifrost Shard from Joust. Players can still change Gjallarflare into Heimdallr’s Sight.

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.
