- Fixed an issue where Thor Aspect was not cleansable as designed

- Fixed an issue with Typhon's Fang Passive. It will now be re-enabled.
- Fixed an issue where Beads weren't preventing getting pulled from Awilix's Ultimate

Welcome to another Titan Talk! We’re excited to share the latest news on SMITE 2, including the reveal of our newest Goddess and several important updates that just went live (or are coming soon). Here’s a quick breakdown:
[h2]1. New Goddess: Princess Bari[/h2]
-
First Korean Pantheon God
- Lore: Princess Bari was the unwanted seventh daughter who ultimately descended into the underworld to save her dying father. Despite being unappreciated, her selflessness and compassion led her to ascend into divinity.
- Theme & Aesthetics: Bari blends elements of Korean shamanic tradition—her signature bell staff, ceremonial fan, and distinctive wide-brimmed hat all reflect real-world Korean shamanism motifs.
-
Gameplay Role & Overview
- Magical Carry or Mage: She deals magical damage but can flex into mid or duo.
- Unique Resource – Spirit
- Builds from attacking gods or minions.
- Reaching 100 Spirit triggers a brief “Mystic Surge,” granting bonus stats and one enhanced cast of an ability.
- Abilities:
- Sacred Bell – Throws a bell projectile that can later be knocked around or pulled back to Bari, dealing damage (and eventually stunning when enhanced).
- Warding Gust – A fan-swipe in a cone. Knocks back enemies who are too close. Can also ricochet or empower the thrown bell.
- Reverent Steps – A freeform dance step dash that fires a projectile at the end; hitting an enemy god grants a burst of Spirit and reduces cooldown.
- Ultimate: Spirit’s Cadence
- Summons an area-of-effect dance that applies a short, “cheat-death” style protection to Bari and any allies who stand inside it.
- Instantly fills Bari’s Spirit to 100 and extends her “Mystic Surge,” giving her bonus attack speed, AoE basic attacks, and an enhanced ability cast.
- Protected allies who would drop to zero HP become briefly damage-immune (but silenced/disarmed). Executes still override this effect.
-
Playstyle Tips
- Combo Potential: Juggle the bells effectively for crowd control, wave clear, or burst damage.
- Team Fight Power: The Ultimate provides a lifesaving zone and re-empowers Bari for big plays.
- Build Paths: Lean into more “carry” style (Strength) for bigger basic attacks, or “mage” style (Intelligence) for heavy ability damage.
-
Awilix Release
- Awilix is now live in SMITE 2, offering a Jaguar-riding assassin playstyle. Enjoy riding Suku into battle and more new plus-one abilities.
-
Frame Rate Options
- PC players can now cap framerate at 90 or 144 FPS. More options could be added if there’s demand—give your feedback!
-
Double Worshiper Event
- A minor technical delay meant the Double Worshiper Weekend started late. To compensate, the event is extended for an extra day so everyone can level up their new gods.
-
Minor Fixes & Hotfixes
- Draft Lobby Display: An issue causing hidden team names in draft lobbies was fixed.
- Magi’s Cloak Bug: Coming soon (or already hotfixed) to fix random procs.
- Thor Aspect Changes: Some slow/cleanse tweaks and healing reductions are on the way.
-
New Item: Erendite
- Returning as an active item featuring a stealth-reveal ability (think a “sonar ping” effect).
- Successful reveals grant bonus damage and movement speed for a chase.
- Perfect for countering invisible gods like Loki or Izanami.
-
HUD Editor (PC Beta)
- A long-awaited feature is here: you can now move and resize HUD elements freely on PC.
- Console support planned for a future update once the PC version is polished.
-
Music Packs
- 60+ classic music themes from past events, passes, and more are returning in a Music Chest.
- Use your Legacy Gems to roll for these nostalgic themes (excluding licensed tracks).
-
Conquest & Other Balance Tweaks
- Refinements to Conquest map visuals near towers.
- Further Aspect adjustments are in development—stay tuned for official patch notes.
- Flash Testing: Princess Bari and these newest changes should be available in Flash Testing very soon. Jump in, try them out, and leave feedback.
- Keep the Feedback Coming: Let us know on the official forums, social channels, and in-game bug reports what you think about Bari, Erendite, HUD Editor, and more.
- Stay Tuned for More Gods: We’re continuing to refine and update existing characters, plus new additions are always in the works!
