SMITE: The Rising Dawn Patch Notes

 
 

KHEPRI, THE DAWN BRINGER


Khepri

At dawn, the sun lifts above the horizon, bathing mankind in color and life. At dusk, it sinks beneath the edge of the world, lost to sight, casting all into darkness. While the sun shines on the realm of mortal kind, it is radiant Ra that guides it, but at night we share the sun with the underworld. It is not Ra that moves the sun along its subterranean path but Khepri, the scarab God, he who comes with the dawn.

Scarabs form dirt and dung into perfect spheres. Within, they lay eggs from which their young emerge fully formed. Using powerful arms and legs, scarabs can roll these spheres many times their own size at incredible distances. It is from their father, Khepri, the sacred scarab gained this power. For the Dawn Bringer, the Sun is his sphere and all souls, living and dead, his children.

Khepri is a guardian, a protector and a friend. He is a symbol of power and loyalty. Usually content to stay aloof, Khepri has risen for battle to defend existence from this shattering war. He will fight to shield us until the final sunset.

Yet, it is he that brings the dawn.

BALANCE CHANGES


 
More Gods have had persisting recall fx cleaned up: Agni; Ah Muzen Cab; Cupid; Freya; Guan Yu; He Bo; Isis; Mercury; Nu Wa; Odin; and Ymir.
 
 
Ah Puch
AH PUCH
We removed the Slow on his Ultimate entirely. His Ultimate was too potent and offered little counterplay, especially when paired with the Slow on his Undead Surge. We like his burst playstyle and zone control, but we felt the Ultimate granted him too much safety, and removing the Slow takes away some of this safety.

Fleeting Breath: Fixed this skill dealing unintended damage. The bonus damage was counting an extra heal stack.

Empty the Crypts: No longer Slows enemies hit by Wraiths.
 
Ao Kuang
AO KUANG
Wild Storm: Fixed Polynomicon Passive activating on target when cast at max range.
 
Athena
ATHENA
Preemptive Strike: Fixed being able to reset her Basic Attack progression when spam cancelling ability.

Defender of Olympus:

  • Fixed her arrival fx persisting on Ally after her death.
  • Fixed audio from ability persisting after death.

 
Awilix
AWILIX
Moonlight Charge: Fixed knockup duration being shortened if target was jumping.

Gravity Surge: Fixed an issue where could not pull Hou Yi during Divebomb.
 
Bacchus
BACCHUS
Fixed some missing voice over lines when destroying objectives.
 
Bellona
BELLONA
Bellona’s kit has many strengths, and in this patch we wanted to hit key points where we felt this strength was too much. The Slow granted from Shield Bash was too potent for a single point investment, and late game Eagle’s Rally was coming up too often. This should allow for more counterplay at both early and late game stages.

Shield Bash: Reduced Slow from 30% to 15/20/25/30/35%.

Eagle’s Rally: Increased Cooldown from 75/70/65/60/55s to 75s at all ranks.
 
Chaac
CHAAC

Thunder Strike: Fixed Mana display issue when cast with full Passive.

Rain Dance: Fixed Mana display issue when cast with full Passive.
 
Chang'e
CHANG’E
 

Crescent Moon: Improved the accuracy of the Arc.

07/31/15 Update:
•Fixed an issue with the magical scaling of this ability not applying properly.
 
Freya
FREYA
Updated weapon trails for Standard, Frost Maiden, and Mastery skins.
 
Kumbhakarna
KUMBHAKARNA
Sleepy (Passive): Fixed getting stuck on top of Arena walls after being executed from Ao Kuang.
 
Loki
LOKI
Fixed mis-colored teeth for Mastery skins.
Fixed Loki’s hands clipping through his face on Infiltrator Victory screen.
Vanish: Updated art for buff icon.

Assassinate: Fixed Loki not playing stab animation when dealing killing blow.
 
Ne Zha
NE ZHA

Wind Fire Wheels: Fixed being able to go inside towers after using on target.
 
Neith (New)
NEITH
Fixed the end of match music playing over her custom Victory music.

World Weaver:

  • Fixed Standard voice playing when using ability with Carnaval skin.
  • Fixed a rare issue where ability fx persist at the end of match.

 
Nox
NOX

Shadow Step: Fixed targets displaying incorrectly at Low Shader Settings.
 
Osiris
OSIRIS
Judgement Tether: Fixed Osiris able to walk through players while ability is active.
 
Ratatoskr
RATATOSKR
Ratatoskr is meant to be a mobile menace. Unfortunately, his mobility made him too safe and frustrating to handle. Ratatoskr can now only Dart 3 times maximum, and his Ultimate will take longer to get Ratatoskr to safety. He should have some risk of engaging into the enemy team, and these changes should allow enemies the chance to capitalize on greedy plays.

Dart:

  • Decreased distance traveled from 40 to 35.
  • Is now limited to only 2 resets of Dart within 10s, for a maximum of 3 dashes.

Through the Cosmos: Increased setup time from 1s to 1.5s.
 
Ravana
RAVANA
07/31/15 Update:
10-Hand Shadow Fist: •Fixed an issue where the damage and healing on the tooltip for this ability was not properly updated.
 
Sylvanus
SYLVANUS
Fixed lighting issue for Dr. Vanus Defeat screen.
Nature’s Protection: This Passive now only triggers on melee Basic Attacks.
 
Xbalanque
Xbalanque
Branching Bola: Fixed the fx turning off after recalling.
