NEW CLASSIC GOD


Ah Puch
  • General
    - Ranged Basic Attacks
    - Damage Type: Magical
    - Scaling Type: Intelligence Scaling

  • Passive: Hollow Ground
    - Exhume decaying corpses at will. When you walk over a decaying corpse, reduce the Cooldown of Undead Surge and Corpse Explosion by
    1s, restore a portion of your max Health and Mana.
    - Enemy gods and the Fire Giant can destroy corpses with 2 Attacks
    - You can have up to 6 corpses (max duration); placing more removes the oldest

  • Ability 1: Undead Surge
    - Raise up to two decaying corpses from the underworld that surge forward, exploding on contact, at max range, or when you reactivate Undead Surge, dealing Magical Damage. Enemies hit are Slowed and have their Healing reduced for a duration. Corpses collapse after exploding and remain behind as decaying corpses.

  • Ability 2: Corpse Explosion
    - Throw a charm from the underworld that awakens a decaying corpse, applying miasma to enemies in an area. The corpse falls to the ground and remains behind. Enemies take Magical Damage over time. After the duration, enemies take additional Magical Damage and are Stunned if they were healed by an ability during the initial duration.

  • Ability 3: Fleeting Breath
    - Throw a charm from the underworld that awakens a decaying corpse, applying miasma to enemies in an area. The corpse falls to the ground and remains behind. Enemies take Magical Damage over time. After the duration, enemies that healed while they had this effect take Magical Damage and are Stunned.

  • Ultimate Ability: Empty The Crypts
    - Unleash a field of spirits at a target location for 6s. Enemies inside the field take Magical Damage every 0.5s.
    - Each tick applies stacking Healing Reduction and Damage Dealt reduction (stacks refresh)
    - After casting this ability, your next 3 Attacks also launch zombies that leave decaying corpses behind

  • Aspect releasing May 8th
    - Aspect of the Death March
    -- Each decaying corpse you walk over reduces the Cooldown of Fleeting Breath instead of the Cooldown of Corpse Explosion.
    -- Corpse Explosion becomes Wraith Call, which haunts enemy gods dealing bonus damage and significantly debuffing targets on ability hits.
    -- Empty The Crypts deals less damage per tick but Slows haunted enemy gods inside the field.

GAMEPLAY

  • Conquest
    - Lane Minions
    -- Increased XP Reward while behind the median enemy God level +6% -> +9%

  • Titans
    - Now gain +4% Damage Mitigation per alive friendly Structure

  • Jungle Monsters
    - Pushed back initial spawn time of Oracles 1:30 -> 1:35
    - Pushed back initial spawn of the Random Mid Buff Camp 1:30 -> 1:35
    - Alpha Centaur (Yellow Buff), Alpha Chimera (Purple Buff), Big Cyclops Warrior
    -- Decreased base Protections from 30 to 25
    -- Decreased max Protections from 68 to 54
    - Increased Vortex CC strength against Jungle Monsters

  • Runic Bomb
    - Runic Bomb was dealing extra physical damage to bosses, on top of the 1000 damage already being dealt. The extra phys damage has been removed as a nerf, but now the damage dealt to bosses cannot be mitigated.
    - The physical damage portion of the explosion now only applies to Gods
    - Increased physical damage vs Gods 300 -> 500
    - The 1000 damage dealt to Towers, Bosses, and Minions is now pure damage that bypasses all types of mitigation

  • Fire Giant and Gold Fury
    - Minions and Pets tanking these objectives now have -75% reduced healing

  • Fire Giant Buff
    - Healing from the buff is now reduced by anti-heal and healing immunity effects (e.g. Aegis)
    - Base
    -- Decreased healing from 1% -> 0.8% of Max Health per second
    - Enhanced
    -- Decreased healing from 2% -> 1.6% of Max Health per second
    -- Decreased mana regen from 2% -> 1% of Max Mana per second

  • Enhanced Fire Giant
    - Enhanced Fire Giant being too difficult to kill went against its design goal of being the powerplay option to end games decisively (or at least get very close to ending). EFG’s stats are now more in line with normal Fire Giant.
    - Removed Fire Giant’s additional Max Health while Enhanced (was +4000)
    - Decreased Fire Giant’s additional Strength while Enhanced +85 -> +40

  • Moonlight
    - A few changes to make both the middle objective and the race to collect shards more competitive…
    -- Lowered the cap on the number of Shards collected, and made it possible for teams to tie and both get Lane Pushers
    -- The Ritual Site at the center of the map now functions similar to how Beacon did in Smite 1, with a couple tweaks. Capturing it is now what awards your team with the Ritual consumable (it’s still also a source of Shards, but less than before)
    - … and re-align the goals and structure of the Moonlight Phase:
    -- Moonlight Objectives
    --- These offer opportunities for PvP, and grant unique rewards for winning these individual objectives
    -- Moonlight Shards
    --- The number collected represents how well your team as a whole controlled the entire map during the Moonlight Phase, and grant the Lane Pushers as a reward for playing better overall
    - Reduced maximum number of Shards teams can collect 100 -> 75
    - Lane Pushers
    -- Now always spawn at the end of the Moonlight Phase for the team with the highest number of Shards collected
    --- If scores are tied, Lane Pushers will spawn for both teams
    - Ritual Site
    -- This point at the center of the map is now capturable by standing in it for approx. 25s
    -- Capturing the Ritual Site awards your team the Ritual consumable and +50 Team Gold
    --- Shards still rain from the sky while capturing, but they are no longer tied to winning the consumable
    -- Capture Rules:
    --- Capturing speeds up slightly with more teammates on the point
    --- Tug-Of-War: Capture progress is retained if control of the point is lost. However, if the capture progress of both teams exceeds the total progress needed to win the capture point, the team in control will begin reducing the progress of the enemy team.
    --- Teams will automatically win the Capture Point if they’re in control of it when the Moonlight Phase ends
    - Moonlight Queen Naga
    -- Now drops a Shard once for every 5% of Health lost
    -- Now regenerates a small burst of HP on leash
