A maximum of 6 corpses can be out at any one time.
Undead Surge[]
- Ah Puch raises up to two decaying corpses from the underworld that surge forward exploding on anything they touch, when they reach maximum distance, or when Ah Puch reactivates Undead Surge dealing 90/110/130/150/170 (+35% of your Magical Power) damage and Slowing targets hit by 40% for 3s.

Corpse Exlosion[]

Fleeting Breath[]
- Ah Puch throws a charm from the underworld which awakens a decaying corpse that applies miasma to targets in an area and falls to the ground, remaining behind. Targets take 32/34/36/38/40 (+15% of your Magical Power) damage every second. After the duration, targets take an additional 20/30/40/50/60 (+10% of your Magical Power) damage and are Stunned for 1s plus +0.5s for each time they were healed by an ability during the initial duration. Cooldown: 10s. Cost: 70.
Empty the Crypts[]

Items[]
Soul Stone (NEW)[]
“It's been a long time since Mages had a starting item other than Vampiric Shroud to pick from. Soul Stone offers no starting Health, but provides significant Mana and a nice damage spike for early clear or poking at enemy gods.”
- 20 Magical Power, 100 Mana, 800 Gold. Passive - Hitting an enemy with a Basic Attack tears out and stores a portion of their soul. Each soul grants +4 MP5. At 5 souls, your next ability cast is at +30 Magical Power.
Cudgel[]
- Health reduced from 150 to 100.
Devourer's Gauntlet[]
“It might not come as a surprise that Devourer's Gauntlet is getting an adjustment. This potent item is seeing a reduction in it's base power, and an increase in the number of stacks it takes to reach it's full potential. This will give more room for specifically Hunters to build and counter-build with a little more variation in the early laning phase.”
- Reduced base Physical Power from +30 to +25.
- Increased maximum stacks from 60 to 75.
- Reduced Physical Lifesteal per stack from 0.25% to 0.20%.
- Reduced Physical Power per stack from 0.5 to 0.4.
Frostbound Hammer[]
“With this change and the adjustment to Heavy Hammer, we are looking to make Frostbound a bit more appealing to build into.”
- Health increased from 300 to 400.
Heartseeker[]
“Heartseeker saw no adjustment coming into Season 2 when its Magical counterpart did. Combined with the reduction to Devourer's Gauntlet, Heartseeker is now a potent option for many Physical gods.”
- Reduced price from 1950g to 1790g.
- Increased Physical Power from +25 to +30.
Heavy Hammer[]
“Heavy Hammer was just too good of a buy for aggressive starting builds. We've reduced the Health and the Slow to help mitigate the potency it gave to early jungle invades.”
- Health reduced from 200 to 100.
- Slow reduced from 25% to 15%.
Hydra's Star[]
- Fixed buff using incorrect icon.
Magi's Blessing[]
“This change goes in line with the fix from last patch, in which Magi's would not be consumed if you were already CC immune. We've adjusted the numbers to better bring it in line with its new functionality.”
- Increased cooldown from 45s to 60s.
Reinforced Greaves[]
- Health increased from 100 to 150.
Reinforced Shoes[]
- Health increased from 100 to 150.
Talaria Boots[]
“With the changes to Talaria and Travelers, we are looking to make them more competitive options versus other Boots and Shoes, while also giving roaming supports an item that better rewards their mobile play style. Increasing the previous Movement Speed boost from 10% to 14% along with adding Gold and Experience makes this item a unique fourth option.”
- Passive Changed: You gain +14% additional Movement Speed and +25 HP5 while out of combat. Each time you hit an enemy god with an ability you earn +50 Experience and +30 Gold. This cannot occur on the same god more than once every 90s.
Travelers Shoes[]
- Passive Changed: You gain +14% additional Movement Speed and +25 HP5 while out of combat. Each time you hit an enemy god with an ability you earn +50 Experience and +30 Gold. This cannot occur on the same god more than once every 90s.
Gods - Balance/Updates/Fixes[]
Ao Kuang[]
“Ao Kuang is getting a fairly significant pass in this patch. The Dragon King has been one of the lowest performing gods in SMITE since his Season 2 damage adjustments. The adjustments to Water Illusion and Dragon Call both have balance implications, but are also big quality of life improvements for Ao Kuang players. The changes to his Ultimate are more substantial. Slightly increasing the range makes it a little easier to catch fleeing players. Adjusting the kill threshold to be flat at all ranks makes it easier to use early game at the cost of late game potency. Finally adding a heal for a successful execution gives Ao Kuang more options to re-engage, where he was often forced to use his ultimate to escape with low Health.”
- Now automatically detonates at the end of its duration if Ao Kuang did not manually detonate.
- This ability can now be activated in Stealth without revealing Ao Kuang.
- Increased cast range from 15 ft to 17 ft.
- Increased kill threshold form 23/26/29/32/35 to 30% at all ranks.
- Now restores 10/15/20/25/30% of Ao Kuang's maximum Health upon successful execution.
Apollo[]
- General
- Increased base Physical Power from 36 to 40.
- Increased base Physical Power per level from 2.5 to 2.6.
Athena[]
- Fixed Liberté skin playing Standard Athena voice when casting ability.
Awilix[]
- Tyr knock ups are now pullable by Awilix.
Bellona[]
- General
- Fixed missing Physical indicator on god icon.
Chronos[]
- Fixed Lotus Crown Passive not working when Section 1 is activated.
Cupid[]
- Fixed the description saying “Magical Power”.
He Bo[]
- General
- Fixed Denton showing off to the right on He Bro and Sydney Shredder during Defeat.
Kumbhakarna[]
“Mighty Yawn gets a mighty buff, and Epic Uppercut gets a quality of life improvement, having some of its damage split to be upfront rather than all on landing. Striking a Crowd Control immune target with your Epic Uppercut means they will now take some upfront damage instead of avoiding it all.”
- Now also applies a 30/35/40/45/50% Attack Speed slow if enemies are awoken early.
- Adjusted the targeter shown after casting ability to be more accurate.
- 25% of the damage from this ability now happens on the initial hit, with the remaining 75% upon landing.
- Initial hit now deals 75/100/125/150/175 damage (15% of your Magical Power).
- Landing hit now deals 225/300/375/450/525 damage (+40% of your Magical Power).
Mercury[]
- Fixed Mercury gaining full bonus on his Passive from Talaria Boots, even while in combat.
Neith[]
“Neith is one of Smite's ability based Hunters, and this adjustment is to help bring her a bit better in line with her carry counterparts.”
- Fixed an incorrect scaling issue on secondary targets hit.
- Increased base damage from 80/140/200/260/320 to 90/155/220/285/350.
- Increased scaling from 80% to 90%.
Osiris[]
“Yep. Fixed those 2x Boots on his recommended list! In all seriousness, Osiris' base Attack Speed adjustment going into Season 2 coupled with downward adjustments to his core items put him in a tough spot. While still being lower than it was in Season 1, this starting Attack Speed increase will help him to utilize his strong Basic Attacks earlier.”
- General
- Increased base Attack Speed from 0.95 to 1.
- Fixed showing 2x Boots in the recommended list.
Sun Wukong[]
“It's happening! Sun Wukong gets some love this patch, with a minor increase to his clear and a meaningful Stun duration scaling change to 72 Transformations. We might not be done with the Monkey King, but we're taking this one cloud hop at a time.”
- Increased bonus Minion and Jungle camp damage from +20% to +25%.
- Increased damage from 80/130/180/230/280 to 90/140/190/240/290.
- Increased Tiger Stun duration from 0.6/0.8/1.0/1.2/1.4 to 1.0/1.1/1.2/1.3/1.4.
Ullr[]
- General
- Fixed Denton showing off to the right during Defeat.
Xbalanque[]
