The latest patch of SMITE is out and gives us plenty of hot skins – sexy succubi and conceited divas are waiting.
To have a hot Christmas …
Since Tuesday, patch 2.19 of SMITE is available, featuring the slightly sinful name “Divas and Demons”, which certainly lives up to its title. Alongside numerous cool skins, there are also a lot of balancing changes to rein in the latest player preferences in the meta.
Sexy succubi and iron beetles

- Rawr! Welche der beiden Damen darf es denn sein?

- Egal, sie kommen im Doppelpakt!
The definitive highlight of the update (no discussion allowed) is the two demon skins that Serqet is granted. “Demonsoul” and “Ebonsoul” differ only in color, but also come in a bundle for 600 gems and are available for a limited time. Who hasn’t always wanted to spread the sweet poison of love as a succubus?
In Aphrodite’s latest appearance, there is clearly inspiration taken from Lady Gaga, as her “Diva” skin resembles the pop singer more than just a little. As part of the Odyssey, “Steel Scarab” skin from Khepri, transforms our favorite dung beetle into a large robot – to protect his teammates, of course.
Lastly, a new skin from Chronos awaits in the New Year’s chest. “Father Time” turns the ruler of time into an old man – if you like it, go for it.
God Adjustments
In addition to the countless skins, there are some adjustments to the gods to further manage balance. The biggest changes occur – as expected – with Chiron, who has clearly left his hunter colleagues in the lurch. The damage of “Training Exercise” is reduced, the cooldown of “Masterful Shot” is increased, and the slow is set at 25% on all ranks.
Even the Nordic goddess Hel feels the nerf hammer, as the ability “Repulse/Inspire” experiences an increase in cooldown from 10 to 12 seconds and the healing now only benefits 30% from magical power (previously 50%). Khepri receives his third adjustment in a row, with his “Rising Dawn” further clipped and reduces the damage taken by hit allies by 10% less at every rank. Sol’s “Stellar Burst” costs 10 more mana points and the slow now only lasts for 1.5 seconds (previously 2 seconds). Finally, the damage from Xing Tian and Xbalanque is slightly reduced.
