SMITE: Goddess “Terra” Sweeps the Ground from Under Your Feet

In SMITE there is another addition. The Roman goddess “Terra” enters the arena and brings a lot of stones with her.

Terra, the Earth Mother

The last new god of SMITE was a while ago, but the developers are not making us wait long and immediately push the next deity. Players can currently try out the new goddess “Terra” on the test server of the MOBA. The lady is the mother of the Titans and at the same time the embodiment of the world we live on. In SMITE, Terra belongs to the category of “Guardians”, meaning she is a magical melee fighter specialized in tank abilities.

Let’s take a look at Terra’s abilities:

• Terra’s passive ability is Standing Stones. All of Terra’s basic abilities create stones. As long as one of these stones exists, Terra is immune to “Knockups” and her basic attacks slow enemies. If Terra herself shatters one of her stones, this buff lasts for an additional 3 seconds.
• Force of Nature is her movement ability. She rushes a few meters forward and damages all enemies she hits on her way. If she touches one of her stones in the process, it gets shattered and she can rush again within the next 3 seconds.
• With Crushing Earth, Terra creates two stone walls. Anyone who enters the field between the two stone walls is slowed by 20%. As long as both walls are intact, Terra can activate the ability again, causing the two walls to collide. This stuns and damages all enemies caught in between. Alternatively, Terra can shatter individual walls with “Force of Nature,” sending shards in a cone that damage enemies.

• 

  Monolith creates a pillar that continuously heals allies in a large radius. If Terra shatters the pillar with “Force of Nature,” all enemies in the pillar’s radius become rooted in place. Additionally, the area then turns into a damage zone for 5 seconds.
• The Ultimate Terra’s Blessing boosts all allied gods, no matter where they are. For 10 seconds, allied gods receive increased movement speed, reduced mana costs, and decreased cooldowns. If a single ally takes damage 4 times during this time, they are healed for a large amount.

Overall, Terra is a tank character who excels particularly in controlling opponents. At the same time, she also brings a good amount of healing, which will be the tipping point in many fights.

There is still no release date for the patch.
