Camazotz, the latest god from SMITE, is a genuine bat. Big, ugly, and quite strong.
The developers of SMITE are working hard to present their players with new gods featuring cool abilities regularly. With the upcoming patch 3.19 Terror of the Night, vampire fans are getting a new creature that should meet their demands.
Camazotz, the deadly god of bats
The bat enters the fray as an assassin and comes with a hefty portion of life steal, making it relatively resilient – at least as long as it can stay on its opponent. It is, however, very susceptible to stuns, because without sustainable self-healing, the flutterer quickly loses its life.
Let’s take a quick look at its abilities:
- The passive ability Essence Drinker increases life steal and healing received by Camazotz by 5%. When a god dies nearby, they leave a small puddle of essence that Camazotz can use to slowly heal mana and health points. When out of combat, he heals faster.
- Screech fires a sound wave in a straight line ahead, dealing damage and penetrating all minions. If it hits an enemy god, the wave creates an echo. If Camazotz is hit by the echo, he receives a bonus to his physical power for 15 seconds.
- The Vampire Bats are sent to a target, dealing damage and slowing it down before returning healing to Camazotz. If the target was a buff monster in the jungle, Camazotz receives a stack of “Vampirism” for 210 seconds, which increases healing and life steal by 3%.
- Leap is his mobility ability. Camazotz jumps forward, dealing damage in an area and healing himself for each enemy hit.
- The ultimate Bat Out of Hell makes Camazotz immune to control effects for 3 seconds and allows him to fly. While flying, he can dive down up to 3 times (on the 3rd attack, he lands).
Currently, Camazotz is on the test server and is being tested thoroughly. If there are no issues, the bat will likely be implemented into the game next week – at least in the PC version. Console players will have to wait a bit longer.
