Misc

 * Co-Op – Medium Difficulty
 * “In this patch, we are introducing a more challenging Co-Op experience by converting all four of the existing Co-Op queues to a Medium difficulty. This difficulty is by no means going to challenge the higher level players, but is meant to give a more enjoyable option to the average and new players as they become more comfortable with SMITE.”
 * For now, all of our existing Co-Op queues will be converted to the Medium difficulty, with the addition of a new Arena (Easy) queue that will continue to be recommended for our new players.
 * Co-Op queues:
 * Arena (Easy)
 * Arena (Medium)
 * Joust 3v3 (Medium)
 * Conquest (Medium)
 * Assault (Medium)
 * All of the rewards for playing the Co-Op queues will remain the same.
 * All of the Practice queues will remain at the Easy difficulty.

God Changes
“''This is an exciting time of year as we prepare for the SMITE World Championships and start designing larger changes for Season 3. With those two events coming up early in 2016, the balance changes in this patch are very much focused around having a solid competitive experience to wrap up Season 2.''”

[[Image:T Anhur Default Icon.png|30px|link=Anhur]] Anhur
“''It's been a little while since Anhur had some love. We wanted it to be more rewarding to land all eight hits of Desert Fury, and adding 5% scaling per hit should allow this ability to feel more potent when used effectively.''”

 * Increased Physical Power scaling for 15% → 20% per shot.

[[Image:T Chiron Default Icon.png|30px|link=Chiron]] Chiron

 * General
 * Chiron no longer counts as a Healer for Assault.


 * [[Image:Icons Chiron A01.png|25px|link=]] Training Exercise

[[Image:T Hel Default Icon.png|30px|link=Hel]] Hel

 * [[Image:Icons Hel A03.png|25px|link=]][[Image:Icons Hel A03 S2.png|25px|link=]] Repulse (Inspire)
 * Reduced Magical Scaling on Inspire (Heal) from 50% → 30%.

[[Image:T Khepri Default Icon.png|30px|link=Khepri]] Khepri
“''Round four on Khepri! The Hug Bug continues to dominate, and overall it's thrilling to see one of our most true support characters excel. That said, the changes below should help put him better in line with a reduction to Rising Dawn Protections and removing an element of Scarab's Blessing that was a bit more than it needed to offer.''”
 * [[Image:Icons Khepri A02.png|25px|link=]] Rising Dawn
 * Reduced Damage Reduction from 20/25/30/35/40% → 10/15/20/25/30%.

[[Image:T Sol Default Icon.png|30px|link=Sol]] Sol

 * Mana cost increased from 60/65/70/75/80 → 70/75/80/85/90.
 * Slow duration reduced from 2s → 1.5s.

[[Image:T Tyr Default Icon.png|30px|link=Tyr]] Tyr
“''Tyr often struggled to compete early on against other laners, especially since he needed to invest a point into his stance switch. By increasing the base damage on Power Cleave, he should be in a better position to box enemies and clear minions more effectively.''”
 * [[Image:Icons Tyr A02.png|25px|link=]][[Image:Icons Tyr A02 Stance2.png|25px|link=]] Power Cleave
 * Increased damage from 60/100/140/180/220 → 80/115/150/185/220.

[[Image:T XingTian Default Icon.png|30px|link=Xing Tian]] Xing Tian
“''Xing Tian has continued to perform exceptionally well. His high base damage numbers and % damage option allowed him to build exceptionally defensive while still being a top damage dealer. The changes below are designed to bring his Health more in-line with aggressive Guardians, and take the edge off of the damage he deals while also applying Crowd Control.''”
 * General
 * Reduced Health per level from 100 → 90.

[[Image:T Xbalanque Default Icon.png|30px|link=Xbalanque]] Xbalanque
“''Xbalanque has long performed at the top of the competitive Hunter pack, and has been one of the most dominate late-game carries. His high ability damage has also made him potent through the early and mid-game, and combined with his reach very difficult to deal with.''”
 * [[Image:Icons Xbalanque A02.png|25px|link=]] Poison Darts
 * Reduced damage per Dart from 30/50/70/90/110 → 30/45/60/75/90.
