Fixed an issue where He Bo could knock gods up on top of the walls Cabrakan's ultimate creates.

General

Fixed an issue where Horus Ultimate did magical damage.

General

Fixed an issue where Jormangandr could get into a bad state if he died while firing his ultimate.

General

Gods with execute abilities (Ao Kuang, Thanatos, Achilles) will now execute Kumbhakarna ignoring his passive and immediately killing him.

Kumbhakarna will not have his passive consumed or put on cooldown if he is executed in a way that prevents it from triggering.

Gods with other abilities that prevent death (Kali, Chiron) will not be affected by this change and their interactions will remain the same as always.

Currently Kumbhakarna can still be executed if he is already in his passive-triggered state. This is still being updated. Intended behavior is for Kumbha not to have any execute FX on him or be executable when he is already in his passive state.

General

Fixed an issue where the flower form of her plants were not hitting in the intended cone area.

Persephone will behave in a similar way as Khumba. If she is executed she will not revive from her passive, and her seeds/cooldown for that passive will not be consumed.

Currently Persephone is still displaying execute FX even though she cannot be executed. This is still being updated. Intended behavior is for Persephone not to have any execute FX on her or be executable when he is already in his passive state.

General

Fixed an issue where Kaldr could fall through the floor of maps. Bad Dog.

General

Fixed an issue where Thanatos was not properly executing Kumbhakarna and Persephone through their passive abilities.

General

Fixed an issue where buying Yemoja would show the wrong god icon in the notifications section.

Basic Attacks

Fixed collision bugs so that ally deployables are no longer highlighted and enemy deployables can no longer be hit with the wider radius.

Moonstrike

Fixed an issue where the Moonstrike targeter would have incorrect visual FX.

Riptide

This targeter now changes color when it is aimed in the location that would place the deployable in the opposite direction.

River's Rebuke

Fixed an issue where players could be blocked by the ultimate walls but not be hit by the sweep.

Increased wall pushback force on initial deploy.

General

Fixed an issue where the Bloody Butcher Skin had some inconsistent voice lines.

Fixed an issue where Ymir would gain CC immunity from his ultimate but not be able to escape Persephone Ultimate. He can now escape the vines if he moves out after firing his ultimate.

General

Amaterasu's recent buffs clearly outperformed our expectations, so she is being toned back down. Her early game is much healthier now, as is her popularity, which clearly show us that people did not prefer her difficult lose lane win game” tradeoff. To balance out her overall performance her late game movement speed, arguably her strongest trait, is being decreased. We are also decreasing her Ultimate damage, which is exceedingly high.

Divine Presence

Decreased Benevolence Aura Movement Speed from 5/10/15/20/25% to 5/9/13/17/21%.

Dazzling Offensive

Decreased Base Damage from 95/140/185/230/275 to 80/125/170/215/260.

Cerberus is a good boy, but has struggled to be a good god. To help carve his niche into SMITE we are focusing on his bruiser support capabilities, rather than giving him additional raw burst or control. His passive is unique, converting enemy healing into his own live so we are further highlighting this passive with a buff. Additionally, Ghastly Breath released with a potent shred that we pulled back. He is now in a state where we can find a middle ground from his current and old numbers.

Spirit of Death

Increased healing from stolen heal from 40% to 50%.

Ghastly Breath

Increased Protection Shred from 6/8/10/12/14 to 6/9/12/15/18 from stack.

General

Discordia has fallen out of favor recently, perhaps it's just the meta or perhaps she offended one too many gods. Either way, she needs some love. Unruly magic is her main clear and poke tool so it is seeing a slight damage increase to make her all around more effective. Also, the cooldown on erratic behavior is being decreased to make her slightly safer and allow skilled Discordia players to shine more by using this ability for kit synergy, not just escapes or engages.

Unruly Magic

Increased Base Damage from 70/115/160/205/250 to 75/125/175/225/275.

Erratic Behavior

Decreased cooldown from 18s to 16s.

General

Ganesha players would sometimes place Dharmic Pillars off from where they intended. This was due to a small window of time from cast to actual placement where it would allow you to continue to aim. We have changed this so Ganesha players can be fully accurate where they place these PIllars.

Dharmic Pillars

Fixed an issue where Rank 2 was costing too much mana.

Dharmic Pillar now caches aim. It should now be placed where the player was targeting when cast.

General

Since Mid Season Isis has been a consistent strong pick with a high ban rate. The boost to her survivability combines with nice Quality of Life adjustments have really propelled her up the charts. Her weakness should be her lower mobility, but our changes allowed her to cover that weakness too directly. Spirit Ball is a powerful self peel tool as well as a low cooldown source of damage. Decreasing this cooldown should have quite a large statistical impact on her performance.

Spirit Ball

Increased cooldown from 10s to 12s.

Dispel Magic

Decreased Base Shield Health from 70/110/150/190/230 to 50/95/140/185/230.

Circle of Protection

Decreased Base Healing from 110/130/150/170/190 to 90/115/140/165/190.

General

Everyone's favorite E-boy has been getting too many likes lately. Susano started to rise after the rework of heartseeker, and has reached a new high for the character. Generally we consider Susano as one of those gods that just needs to have slightly lower win-rate to feel balanced, and currently he is not at that state. We are decreased his top-end damage on two key abilities to take down his hyper carry potential and make him rely more on his team.

Storm Kata

Decreased scaling per hit from 55% to 50%.

Typhoon

Scaling reduced from 140% to 125%.

General

It's about time Sylvanus grew a new leaf. His ability to root and control an enemy team is his defining feature, but his primary CC ability had some limitations that felt unintuitive. Verdant Growth will now be able to be fired over walls, better allowing Sylvanus to run down enemies or peel for allies, and of course better enabling those high impact pulls.

Verdant Growth

This ability can now be fired over walls.

Updated this abilities targeter to be more distinct from his Basic Attacks.

Nature's Grasp

Fixed an issue where the pull direction wouldn't match the Direction Sylvanus was facing.

General

Thor got a surge of energy in his Mid Season rework. Although his high level pick/ban rate increased, his win-rate did not follow. Our primary goal was to make Thor an attractive pick at high end again, and that had succeeded handily. After watching his metrics and monitoring feedback for a few months we feel safe to nerf this character. His new components should still allow him to be an interesting pro pick, but this should town frustrations players have in normal games by lowering the instant burst potential of his Ultimate.

Anvil of Dawn

Decreased Damage from Landing Impact from 120/165/210/255/300 to 100/150/200/250/300.

There was an issue where the Landing Impact was listed as dealing more damage than it was actually doing.

Decreased Lightning Damage on the Initial Target from 20/30/40/50/60 to 15/25/35/45/55.

General

Tyr has returned to his classic glory with the addition of his long lost knockup. This has made him a much more viable pick, and now he should be adjusted accordingly. His healing had been buffed in the past to make him a safer pick, but now it clearly feels like too much for the god. His healing on power cleave is being decreased across the board to focus Tyr more toward the aggressive side of the Solo Lane roster.

Power Cleave (Guard Stance)

Healing reduced from 30/55/80/105/130 to 20/45/70/95/120.
