Smite 2 Gods changes: All God buffs, nerfs, and changes in Smite 2 alpha

If your God is in here, they've got a whole moving truck worth of changes.

Smite 2 is changing the entire God-filled battlefield, including a hearty pile of buffs, nerfs, and reworks for most of the Gods themselves—those that have already made the leap in HiRez’s MOBA sequel, that is.

When the Smite 2 playtest goes live on May 2, there will be a dozen Gods hit with changes, including some that could be counted as total reworks. Among the impacted Gods are Bellona, Kukulkan, Cernunnos, Loki, Anubis, Odin, and more, with any that squeezed into the sequel’s alpha patch getting a whole range of updates.

Many of these buffs and nerfs have been made with HiRez’s sweeping new Smite class changes in mind; heading into the sequel, characters are no longer defined by class. Instead, they are themed around properties like melee vs. ranged, Strength and Intelligence stats, and overall playstyle. These can be anything from Burst Damage or Pressure to Utility, Crowd Control, and Healing.

Here are all the God changes in Smite 2’s first alpha release.

Athena

“Preemptive Strike now charges up much faster. Defender of Olympus places a shield on the target instead of a Mitigation Buff and Athena will teleport to the location even if the target dies. Our goal with this adjustment is to make it more often the correct choice to save a teammate in danger and limit feeling like you have to teleport to healthy targets to ensure you get value out of the ultimate. 

Athena has always had a unique role in being considered a true support, but also being a powerful burst damage jungler. The change to base stats in Smite 2 max Athena more flexible than ever, supported even further by her ultimate being better at rescuing low HP targets, and being a guaranteed global movement ability.”

Neith

“Neith in Smite 2 is being adjusted in many ways. She will have multiple abilities that deal magical damage, and a lot of INT-based scaling. She has always been more of an ability hunter, and we are leaning into that even more in Smite 2. Her Smite 2 version is an intelligence-based mid laner that focuses on ability damage. She can definitely still be played as a traditional carry.

Odin

“Odin leans more into his mastery of runes, using Intelligence to augment his abilities in unique ways. His Raven Shout Shield and pulse damage from Gungnir’s Might scale utilizing intelligence, giving him a very tanky and pressure damaging playstyle. The core of the Bird Bomb combo however is still as strong as ever when leaning into the more traditional Strength-based gameplay. Odin’s flexibility to frontline or support his team is further amplified by a wide array of utility active items that his kit really lets him lean into.”

Zeus

“Zeus has undergone a significant rework, bringing back aspects of his initial version from Smite 1. Detonate is his iconic ability, and building to 3 charges should be a rewarding moment for Zeus and a moment of terror for whom will be smited. Aegis Assault made it easier to apply charges from safety, limiting how potent we could make Detonate. Thunderclap has replaced Aegis Assault, providing an instant AoE burst around Zeus and providing a large Attack Speed and Movement Speed stim. Now Zeus has to rely on his skillshot Basic Attacks and Chain Lightnings to quickly apply charges or put himself at risk with Thunderclap, allowing Detonate to be more powerful.

Detonate now stuns at max charges (an old throwback!) and no longer consumes charges, allowing Zeus to continue to benefit from the amplified Basic Attack damage. These aspects together make his gameplay goals clear, but allows for a lot of flexibility on how you approach that goal. Pure INT Zeus will burst enemies just as hard as you are used to, but Tanky Cooldown Zeus or Inhand Zeus are now potent additional options! 

We also included a new UI element on enemy god health bars that track charge counts. This makes it easier to keep track of your current charge count, especially when the gods model is obscured or behind a wall.”
