“Due to these two bug fixes, we are going to revert some of the last nerfs we did to address her performance.”
Summon Suku (1)
Moonlight Charge (3)
Baron Samedi“Baron Samedi had a bug in CA8 that reduced all enemies’ damage to every target, leading to a massive overperformance across the board. After fixing this, we gave him time to settle since he had been oppressive since his original release in Smite 2. Now, we’ve seen him struggle to perform, so we’re reverting a few of the changes we made before discovering the bug.”
Vivid Gaze (1)
Consign Spirits (2)
Life of the Party (4)Increased Vortex Strength by 10%.
Increased Hysteria Vortex Strength by 20%.

Hun Batz“Hun Batz relies on his ultimate for the bulk of his power, making it tough to give his other abilities meaningful impact. We’re reducing the maximum Crowd Control it provides, adding some bonus scaling, and with this change we can increase the potency of Overhead Smash. Overhead Smash will no longer go on cooldown if interrupted, which requires us to move the Protection Shred off the channel and backloaded onto the actual Smash.”
Overhead Smash (2)Removed the protection shred from the buildup.
Now applies the full strength of the Protection Shred on hit. Its own damage will benefit from this Protection Shred.
This ability will no longer go on cooldown/consume mana if interrupted before the Smash hits.
Fear No Evil (4)Targets will now be immune to the fear after 3 ticks, making the Maximum duration you can be feared 1s.
Increased Strength Scaling from 10% per tick to 12.5% per tick
Jing Wei“Jing Wei took a big hit after we removed the knockup and damage from Persistent Gust for enemies who walked into it after its initial deployment. We’re restoring these effects at a reduced strength, ensuring foes still need to respect the gust when chasing or retreating. At the same time, this adjustment prevents her from regaining the free wave clear that originally prompted the change.”
Persistent Gust (1)Again applies a Knockup to enemies who walk into it after the initial burst, at 60% of the initial burst.
Again applies Damage to enemies who walk into it after the initial burst, at 60% of the initial burst.

Princess Bari“Princess Bari launched with a moderate win rate in all modes, which often indicates she’s slightly overtuned—new gods generally take time for players to master. To stay ahead of this learning curve, we’re nerfing Reverent Steps, a key contributor to her late-game strength.”
Reverent Steps
Rama
Astral Strike (1)Arrows fired now have 10% Strength Scaling.
Susano“Susano has continued to struggle despite our recent buff attempts, so we’re implementing more significant changes to help him thrive. His original Smite 1 Passive was a powerhouse, but the newer version proved too difficult to fully utilize. By cutting the stacks in half, Susano can now build and maintain his passive more easily, although it still requires three inhand cancels for its full effect. We’ve also made Storm Kata’s Dash cancellable for smoother follow-up, and increased Typhoon’s quick-fire damage to bring it closer to its Smite 1 parity.”
Storm’s Edge (P)Damage Dealt increase triggers at 3 stacks.
Storm Kata (1)The dash can now be cancelled early.
Typhoon (4)Increased uncharged damage from 50% Max to 80% Max.

Bumba's Golden Dagger“Bumba’s Dagger and Spear were seeing significantly less play than Cudgel. We are moving Bumba’s to be more focused for Attack Speed focused Junglers, both in the stats provided by Golden Dagger, but carrying the passive and stats through to Spear.”

Sundering Arc“Sunder was the least purchased and performing Relic. We wanted to give it more offensive lethality but allow players to more frequently use its effect to quickly farm the Jungle and make it easier to have it available for objective control.”
Cooldown Reduced by 30s if used only on Jungle Monsters/Bosses.
War Flag“With our item pacing changes, we reduced gold gain slightly across the map. This adjustment largely keeps War Flag and Selflessness in line with that shift.”
