3.2 - Rolling Thunder
“Patch 3.2 is here! Coming only a few weeks after the Season 3 Release, we are excited to talk about the next Japanese God coming to Smite, Raijin! This Master of Thunder (and Drums, if I may add) excels at using his abilities to disrupt the enemy team from either close or far away. We are excited to see how everyone enjoys him when he hits the live servers.
In terms of Balance, we only made a few small adjustments and fixes to items. We have seen rapid shifts in playstyles and what has been deemed ‘strong’ and want to continue monitoring the changes from Season 3 as a whole. We expect to begin making large adjustments off the large scale changes in patches like 3.3 and 3.4.”
New God: Raijin - ??
Static Crescendo (Passive)

Percussive Storm
- Raijin pounds his drums sending forth 4 peals of thunder in a line, each growing wider as it travels. Each peal deals (25/40/55/70/85 +30% of your Magical Power) to enemies hit, and stops on the first enemy god in it's path. Cost: 80/85/90/95/100. Cooldown: 10s.

Raiju
- Raijin marks a target enemy by dismissing his ally Riaju, who hides in the enemy's navel. While asleep, Raiju reveals the target to Raijin's team on the minimap.

Thunder Crash

- Lightning Damage: 20/30/40/50/60 (+20% of your Magical Power)
