New in SMITE: The Rising Dawn
August 4th, 2015
New God: Khepri
Fortitude
Every 5s, Khepri applies a shield to himself and nearby allied gods for 2% of the target's Maximum Health for 15s. The rate is slowed to every 10s while in combat. (Max 10%)
Abduct
Khepri lunges forward, dealing damage to enemies he passes through. If he connects with an enemy god he stops, grabs them, and starts pulling them backwards. Enemies are silenced for the duration of the pull.
Rising Dawn
Khepri rolls the sun forward, setting ablaze all enemies it touches, reducing physical protections, and dealing damage over time. Allies that are hit take reduced damage from enemies for the duration.
Solar Flare
Khepri calls down the sun's ire at the target location, dealing damage and rooting all targets in the area.
Scarab's Blessing
Khepri blesses an allied god, immediately cleansing them of all crowd control as well as granting them Movement Speed, and immunity to slow effects. If the marked ally would die while blessed, they are instead revived with a percentage of their maximum Health at Khepri's location.

Ao Kuang

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.
Athena
Preemptive Stike

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 75/70/65/60/55 to 75s at all ranks.

Ravana
"
Ravana is in a much better place since the last changes, but we wanted to bring him up a little more. We increased the damage of his Overhead Kick and 10-Hand Shadow Fist slightly to help him trade better, and in conjunction with this allowed him to avoid damage and heal slightly more. These changes should bring out the dueling strengths that we like in Ravana.
"
Overhead Kick
- Reduced Cooldown from 16/15/14/13/12s to 14/13/12/11/10s.
- Increased damage from 55/90/125/160/195 to 70/105/140/175/210.

- Increased Health Return from 10/15/25/40/60 to 15/20/30/45/65.
- Increased damage from 115/140/165/190/215 to 120/155/190/225/260.
Mystic Rush
- Fixed a rare occurrence where Ravana could get stuck in a wall from Janus Portals.
- Fixed buff timer always showing 4s for each rank.
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.
"

- Is now limited to only 2 resets of Dart within 10s, for a maximum of 3 dashes.
