BALANCE LIVE WITH THE 10.3 UPDATE – MARCH 28
Game Modes
All Game Modes
This change affects all SMITE game modes, and should help in a variety of situations. Year 10 has increased the amount of kills in the average match, especially in Conquest. Kills can be quite valuable, so we are adjusting their scaling factors to make them more impactful when a fed player is killed. We are also adding an additional shutdown bonus that benefits the whole team more. Taking down that opponent with the big kill streak will now have a reward that matches the challenge.
- All Game Modes
- Player kill XP reward changes
- Decreased the amount of XP for killing lower level players
- Penalty modifier increased from 0.1 to 0.2
- (killing player more than 4 levels below you will no longer award XP)
- Penalty modifier increased from 0.1 to 0.2
- Increased the amount of XP for killing higher level players
- Bonus modifier increased from 0.25 to 0.4
- (killing player 1 level higher = 12% increase, 2 levels higher = 20% increase, 7 levels higher = 40% increase)
- Bonus modifier increased from 0.25 to 0.4
- Decreased the amount of XP for killing lower level players
- Player kill XP reward changes
- Shutdown bonus changes
- Receiving the Shutdown accolade now gives a bonus, similar to First Blood GP
- Grants +200 XP and +50 Gold
- All 4 teammates receive Assist rewards, even if they are out-of-range or dead
- Receiving the Shutdown accolade now gives a bonus, similar to First Blood GP
- Slash
- Increased setup time from 60 to 75 seconds
- Arena
- This mode will now use the Roman Arena Art Set
- Assault
- Assault Reroll will now be 1 Gem or 50 Favor
- The Following Gods have been added to the Assault Healer Tiers as Tier 3 Healers – Meaning if rolled their opponents will also have a tier 3 healer
- Eset
- Cthulhu
- Artio
- Ranked Reset 10.3 – Year 10 Season 2
- Ranked Players at all MMR values will have some sort of reset applied to them in Ranked Conquest, Ranked Joust, and Ranked Duel.
- Capped MMR 3500 players will be reset to 3000, and this effect gets proportionally weaker down the MMR Scale. Players close to 1500 will notice only a very slight reset.
- Masters and GM Will be reset to Diamond 1
- All other Ranks will retain their current rank, and it will update after the first match depending on their new MMR after a win or loss + the reset.
- Conquest
Year 10 Season 1 Conquest is off to a strong start. We are seeing less early-surrenders, more kills, and a lot of strong interest in the game mode. For Season 2 we aim to bring some new tactics to the map for a fresh feel, while also addressing some of the role balance concerns around the map. Our core goals for this update were discussed in the previous blog post that can be found . We recommend reading that for a high level description, but most of those goals will be restated here in the various sections of this Update Notes.
- Art Environment
- With the dust settled from Surtr’s ascension, the Conquest map begins to regrow and flourish.
- The map has undergone multiple art updates to feature a variety of glowing plant life, pools of water, and an entirely new skybox.
- This update will also include the Spectator View Alternate Art set for this map that adjusts and lowers various environment pieces that can block the spectator camera view.
- Jungle Path Layout
- Multiple adjustments have been made to the jungle paths.
- The rocks around the Back Harpy camps in all 4 map quadrants have been changed to allow for quicker pathing between camps and lanes.
- This also results in slightly more open space for team fights directly North or South of the Fire Giant and Gold Fury Pits
- Various walls around the Jungle have been lowered to help visibility.
- Cyclops Thieves’ Stash
This Season’s new mechanic is the Cyclops Thieves! These are a larger version of the Cyclops Rogues from Season 1, and they now have their own dedicated camp. This camp has a new type of dynamic gold reward that scales depending on how ahead or behind your team is compared to your opponents. This unique reward makes this camp especially valuable, so players should prioritize it highly when clearing, and it will also be a likely target for invades from the leading team.
- Back Harpies on the Gold Fury side of the map have been replaced with a Cyclops Camp, which spawns extra treasure chests for the team that is behind in overall Gold
- 1 Bonus Chest spawns for every 1000 Gold your team is behind, up to a maximum of 5 Chests
- Destroying a chest awards 10 Team Gold plus 1.6% of your team’s gold deficit, up to a maximum of 500 Team Gold
- Invading and destroying an enemy’s chest awards nothing
- Team Gold awarded by a Bonus Chest is distributed unevenly across all teammates
- 40% goes to the teammate with the least amount of Gold
- 30% goes to the teammate with the 2nd least amount of Gold
- 30% is split equally among the remaining 3 teammates
- The Cyclops NPCs in the camp have the same stats and rewards as Back Harpies
- This camp does not spawn Roaming Harpies
- Respawns every 2 minutes
- Back Harpies
This change might look simple but it has a huge impact on the map. The first effect it will have is changing the level 1 starts. Killing this camp in the same way as before will no longer grant players level 2 before the wave. This will also have a big impact on Junglers, and sometimes Mids, who will now need to show up to clear the camp 2x as often or will risk losing some farm efficiency. We are generally happy that there is more pvp combat on the 10.1 map, but we wanted to specifically address Junglers and challenge them more in their gank timing vs farm timing.
- Decreased respawn timer from 4 to 2 minutes
- Elder Harpy
- Decreased base XP Reward from 40 to 20
- Decreased base Gold Reward from 24 to 12
- Small Harpy
- Decreased base XP Reward from 24 to 12
- Decreased base Gold Reward from 16 to 8
- Fire Giant
- Adjusted the Ring of Fire radius to more closely match the Fire Giant’s actual leash radius
- Fire Giant Buff
- Decreased the duration of Fire Giant’s Might and Fire Giant’s Rage (Enhanced) from 4 minutes to 3 minutes
- Fire Giant’s Might
- Decreased Healing per second from 0.8% of your max health to 0.6%
- (Decreased Healing from 4% of Max Health every 5s to 3% of Max Health every 5s)
- Increased Magical Power granted from 70 to 85
- Increased Physical Power granted from 50 to 60
- Decreased Healing per second from 0.8% of your max health to 0.6%
- Fire Giant’s Rage (Enhanced)
- Decreased Healing per second from 0.8% of your max health to 0.6%
- (Decreased Healing from 4% of Max Health every 5s to 3% of Max Health every 5s)
- Increased Magical Power granted from 100 to 110
- Increased Physical Power granted from 65 to 70
- Decreased Healing per second from 0.8% of your max health to 0.6%
- Gold Fury
- Will now attack and damage close-range enemies that attempt to body block it
- Increased Movement Speed from 325 to 400
- Pyromancer
- Will now attack and damage close-range enemies that attempt to body block it
- Bastions
- Increased base Max Health from 1200 to 1500
- Tier 1 Tower
-
We are adjusting the Tier 1 Towers to protect laners more from ganks, and making an inverse change to keep tower clear vs minions at the same speed as always.
- Increased Physical Power from 215 to 235
- Decreased Physical Damage Scaling vs Minions from 140% to 130%
-
- Tier 2 Tower
- Decreased Physical Damage Scaling vs Minions from 140% to 130%
- Roaming Back Harpies
-
With the change to back harpy camps and respawn timers, we also needed to adjust the rules of roaming harpies. These will now spawn multiple harpies at a single time – the midpoint of the camps respawn timer – and we are also adding more harpies roaming through more locations to add more contestable farm.
- Disabled hit reactions on these minions
- 2 Roaming Harpies spawn halfway through the respawn timer of Back Harpies (60 seconds after the camp is cleared)
-
- NEW Roaming Mid Harpies
- 2 Roaming Harpies spawn halfway through the respawn timer of Mid Harpies (45 seconds after the camp is cleared)
- These roaming harpies split off, one roaming towards Chaos-side, the other towards Order-side
- They path around the Gold Fury or Fire Giant pit on their respective side of the map
- Mid Harpies
-
This change is a significant decrease in farm for Jungle and Mid, who are currently clearly ahead of the other roles on the map. Some of this farm can be made up from the roaming harpies.
- Removed 1 Mid Harpy from each camp
-
- Purple Buff Camp
-
This is primarily a Mage ADC nerf hidden within the Conquest Map balance section, but it still makes the most sense to put it here. –
- Purple Buff
- Decreased Magical Basic Attack Damage from 15 to 10
-
- Silver Buff Scorpion
-
There has been a lot of discussion about Solo Lane, especially in the high rank and SPL communities. We wanted to add more value to this lane to help Solos keep even with the rest of the map, and also to make each fight between Solos themselves more meaningful. Winning the neutral farm and invading buff camps will both be more valuable, and the Totem will aura will create a lot more kill potential.
- Increased base XP Reward from 40 to 55
- Increase base Gold Reward from 20 to 40
- Blue Buff Camp
- Buff Holder (Elder Satyr)
- Increased base XP Reward from 70 to 95
- Increased base Gold Reward from 44 to 52
- Buff Guard (Mini)
- Increased base XP Reward from 28 to 35
- Increased base Gold Reward from 14 to 20
- Buff Holder (Elder Satyr)
- Totem

- Capturing the Totem once again grants its reward buff to all Gods on the team
- Totem Damage Aura
- Increase damage output buff from 10% to 15%
- Increase the area of the damage buff area from 40 to 45
- Totem Buff Reward
Healing Update
- Goals
- Healing is a powerful effect in SMITE. We wanted to do a more in-depth and detail driven approach to adjust the balance of healing in SMITE
- With all changes combined, we expect to see lower healing numbers overall, but more player control over healing. It will be less likely to heal by huge amounts, but also more rare to have healing reduced to 0%.
- Healing Gods and Items will have more utility and additional effects instead of relying entirely on healing.
- Action Plan
- Healing abilities will no longer have Power Scaling on any gods. Aphrodite and Hel will receive level based scaling on their healing. Other gods will have no scaling, only ranking up an ability or buying Healing Increase items will increase their healing.
- Gods and Items across the game will receive nerfs to their healing abilities, lifesteal stats, and similar effects – by roughly 30%. The scaling changes are included in this calculation.
- Most God and Items will receive buffs to their non-healing abilities and stats in order to compensate for these nerfs. Gods more reliant on healing will receive more intense buffs and changes to their non-healing effects. Gods who needed nerfs already will receive healing nerfs and nothing else to compensate.
- Some New/Reworked items will allow players to increase their healing through builds, others will add more unique item effects that trigger on successful heals.
- Healing Reduction on God Abilities and Items will be reduced by a small amount
- See the Gods and Item changes section for the specific numbers and changes related to these points
- System Changes
- The “Brawling” System, has been removed from the game. Players will no longer have 40% decreased healing when they haven’t recently engaged in God vs God combat.
- Healing Reduction will now be capped at 80% Reduction on the afflicted target.
- Gods like Serqet, Odin, and Osiris will be the only exception and have unique text to describe that their abilities prevent healing entirely.
- Physical Lifesteal cap has been decreased from 100% to 50%
- Magical Lifesteal cap has been decreased from 65% to 40%
- Shield Reduction Items will be introduced in this Update, and will apply debuffs to enemies that reduce the amount of shield HP of any shields applied to them while the debuff is active.
- Shield Reduction has a cap of 80% Reduction on future shields applied on the afflicted target.
Healing Items
Items like Breastplate of Regrowth and Lotus Sickle are the ideal healing items. We have seen these items maintain a reasonable pick rate for years, while generally avoiding frustration cases. For this Healing Update we are introducing more items like these to give healers more options. We are also keeping and buffing the traditional healing increase items, and even introducing a few new ways to boost healing numbers in conditional ways. We specifically avoided giving a large amount of healing% increase to new items. We want to keep control over the max amount of healing in SMITE and keep away from what we have described as “true healers.
- New Healing Bolstering Items
- These items provide a new way to increase your healing, or add more utility to heals
- These items are contained within two new healing related item trees, 1 for Physical Gods, and 1 for Magical Gods
Magical Gods tend to rely on healer their team mates more than Physical gods who generally rely on self healing. These item trees are tuned with those differences in mind. Each tree has 2 new items. Rod of Asclepius is going to now buff only the owners Healing “dealt” as opposed to affecting the whole team, and its also going to provide a spicy new CDR aura, a very powerful effect. Rujevenating Heart is the item for players who want to go all in on big heals, but theyll need to work for it by building stacks in combat with other gods. And finally we wanted to introduce a more aggressive and sinister item that works with healers. Last Gasp can give a big power buff to the owner to help them turn a fight as long as they heal allies who are at low HP.

Caduceus Club has the same shift as Rod of Asclepius, but has a CCR and Movement Speed aura instead for maximum persistence.

Sekhmet’s Scepter rewards staying in the fight, giving CDR as you take hits after a heal.

With all of the healing changes, shields stand to gain a lot of power. We did not nerf shields game wide in the way we nerfed healing, but we are introducing these new counter items that will decrease shields as they are applied, and also provide the item owners with other bonuses. This is a niche effect, so we only are creating 1 new item that focuses on the effect alone. Erosion will be a very specific counter item, but an important option to keep in the game even if its somewhat under-utilized. We are also adding this effect to Gem of Isolation and Envenomed Deathbringer to make sure DPS gods each have an option for countering shields. Envenomed Deathbringers changes are especially important, because the item is also gaining Healing Reduction and will become the primary anti-heal item for Hunters, but will also be losing the damage-dealt debuff as a tradeoff.
- New Anti-Shield Oriented Items
- With the nerfing of healing, we run the risk of seeing an increased priority on HP Shields, so we are introducing a new set of items that can counter those shields by decreasing their size as they are applied.
NEW – EROSION
- 2350g
- + 30 Physical Protection
- + 30 Magical Protection
- + 350 Health
- PSV – Every time an enemy within 30 units gains a shield, you gain 15% Movement Speed for 4s. This effect can only occur once every 10s.

REWORK – GEM OF ISOLATION
- PASSIVE – Enemies hit by your damaging abilities will move 30% Slower and will have Shields applied on them reduced by 50% for 2.5 seconds. This can only occur once every 10 seconds.
REWORK – ENVENOMED DEATHBRINGER GLYPH
- GLYPH – Critical hits on enemy gods afflict them with poison for 3s. This poison slows them by 10%, reduces their healing by 35% and Shields applied on them are reduced by 50%.
- Increased duration
- Removed dmg reduction debuff
- Added healing reduction
- Added shielding reduction
- Lifesteal Items
- Shards and Relics (all nerfs)
These shards and relics are all being nerfed to keep in line with the healing change goals for this patch. These relics were also generally some of the more popular and powerful ones, so we feel like a nerf alone is appropriate. We expect these relics to still be considered viable options.
CLAW SHARD
- Decreased Lifesteal from 20% to 15% and 10% Physical Ability Lifesteal to 8%
CLOAK OF MEDITATION
- Decreased Healing per tick from 10 + 3% of missing health to 8 + 2% of missing health

Starter Items and Upgrades
Starter items have some big changes, some in regards to healing and some others are important buffs or nerfs for key roles. We will split out the dev notes for this section to help call attention to these various changes.
DEATH’S TOLL SHIFT
In general, this update provides a lot of buffs and power shifts to Hunters, whose viability is still constantly in question. Death’s Embrace relied too much on huge amounts of healing, so it has an entirely new CDR based effect in its passive. Gilded Arrow and its upgrades had little to no lifesteal on them, but these were specifically buffed to help improve Hunters.
- Increased Physical Power from 15 to 18
- Decreased healing Trigger from 2 + 0.4% of your Maximum Health to 2 + 0.2% of your maximum health
DEATH’S EMBRACE SHIFT
- Decrease the Health restored when Hitting an enemy with a Basic Attack from 2% to 1.4%
- Added On successful enemy basic attack hit – reduce all non-ultimate active cooldowns by 0.33s
- PASSIVE – Hitting an enemy with a Basic Attack restores 1.4% of your Health, 2% of your Mana and reduces your active non-Ultimate Cooldowns by 0.33s. Basic Attacks that deal damage in an AoE restore less health (75% for Melee Attacks, 50% for Ranged Attacks) for each enemy hit after the first and only count once for the Cooldown reduction effect.
DEATH’S TEMPER BUFF
- Increased the amount of stacks gained from a kill or assist on a god from 5 to 10
LEATHER COWL SHIFT
- Decreased Cost from 700 to 650
- Increased Physical Power from 15 to 18
- Decreased Lifesteal from 7% to 4%
- Increased Attack Speed from 7% to 10%
HUNTER’S COWL SHIFT
- Increased Physical Power from 60 to 70
- Decreased Physical Lifesteal from 15% to 10%
- Increased Attack Speed from 15% to 20%
LEADER’S COWL SHIFT
- Increased Physical Power from 50 to 70
- Decreased Physical Lifesteal from 15% to 10%
- Increased Attack Speed from 15% to 20%
GILDED ARROW BUFF
- Increased Bonus Gold Gain from the passive from 3 to 4
DIAMOND ARROW BUFF
- Increase Health from 100 to 150
- Added +10% Penetration (Physical and Magical)
ORNATE ARROW BUFF
- Increased Basic Attack Damage from 60 to 70
- Increased Physical Critical Strike Chance from 5% to 15%
BLUESTONE PENDANT NERF
This item has continued to cause a lot of discussion, and will likely still need more followup changes, but for now we are applying a few nerfs to make sure the item is dominating across 3 different roles. We also see this nerf as an important reduction in proc damage, especially when build by Junglers. We hope the Conquest changes and other items will help warriors in various ways to offset these nerfs.
- Decreased total damage from 48 to 40
BLUESTONE BROOCH NERF
- Decreased total base damage from 180 to 160
- Decreased current health damage from 15% to 12%
WARRIOR’S AXE
Warrior’s Axe is getting the simple healing decrease, and Sundering Axe is getting a partial revert after the huge nerf from last update. This buff should help Warriors stay threatening through the late game
- Decreased Health and Mana restore from 30 + 1.5 per level to 20 + 1 per level
- Damage kept the same
SUNDERING AXE BUFF
- Increased damage from protection scaling from 1% to 1.5%
- This item can no longer trigger its bonus damage off of other item damage, and will only trigger on Ability damage.
BUMBA’S DAGGER SHIFT
The Jungler items are all healing shifts, but they also bring a lot of power and potential to the items. In Year 10, Junglers are less reliant on the sustain, so losing this healing is not much of a nerf. In return, they gain power on other key combat stats, which should help these options all look more attractive to build.
- Increased Physical Power from 7 to 10
- Increased Magical Power from 12 to 15
- Decreased Health restore from 10% to 8%
BUMBA’S SPEAR SHIFT
- Decreased Health restore from 10% to 8%
BUMBA’S HAMMER SHIFT
- Increased Physical Power from 50 to 60
- Increased Magical Power from 70 to 80

- Increased Physical Power from 65 to 70
- Increased Magical Power from 95 to 100
- Increased Physical Protection from 35 to 40
SENTINEL’S GIFT NERF
Guardian Starters are all getting the standard healing nerfs, we think this will be fair within the realm of decreased healing and will not dissuade Supports from building these items.
- Decreased Health restore from 15 to 12
SENTINEL’S BOON NERF
- Decreased Health restore from 4 to 3
BENEVOLENCE NERF
- Decreased Health restore from 0.75% to 0.6%
PROTECTOR’S MASK NERF
- Decreased Health restore from 15 to 12
WAR FLAG NERF
- Decreased Health restore from 5 to 4
WAR BANNER NERF
- Decreased Health restore from 1.25% to 1%
VAMPIRIC SHROUD SHIFT
This specific Mage starter focuses entirely on lifesteal and self healing, so it definitely required the shift. With healing being more rare this item could be a huge source of sustain, boosting its meta share in Solo or Mid. Players will need some time to experiment with it before we re-evaluate its design.
- Decreased cost from 700 to 650
- Increased Magical Power from 30 to 35
- Increased MP5 from 7 to 10
- Decreased Lifesteal from 7% to 4%
- Decreased Health restore from 4 to 3
BLOOD-SOAKED SHROUD SHIFT
- Increased Magical Power from 95 to 110
- Increased Health from 300 to 350
- Decreased Lifesteal from 15% to 10%

- Increased Physical Protection from 40 to 50
- Decreased Lifesteal from 15% to 10%
- Decreased health cost from 5% to 3%
-
Physical Lifesteal Items (All Shifts)
This set of items follow our standard healing shift. All of these items are losing some amount of lifesteal, but gaining other aggressive stats. Hunter items are often affected in big ways by small power adjustments, so we expect there to be some possibilities for new builds and this will also increase Hunter DPS overall.

Magical Lifesteal Items
Mages have a lot of the usual shifts, but also a few clear nerfs mixed in. The Mage ADC items are getting another round of direct nerfs. Soul Gem is also getting a net nerf, by most considerations, as a popular and strong item that contributes to the proc damage build. Bancrofts will be full power active at higher HP thresholds, and Typhons will now e a 20% pen option, making both items especially interesting even given their large lifesteal nerfs.

General Item Balance
The final changes to this role are grouped here, as they didn’t quite fit into the previous sections. The Conquest changes healing item changes will create some important shifts in each role, but we still had more balance items to consider! Many of the items in these sections will extend to other roles as well, but we had to pick one for sorting reasongs
-
Solo
Teleport is getting a cooldown nerf in order to raise the stakes in the Solo lane, we want it to be more rewarding to force your opponent back to base.

SPARTAN FLAG BUFF
