RAVANA, THE DEMON KING OF LANKA
Power does not come without sacrifice. The greater the sacrifice, the more immeasurable the power. Ravana, the Demon King of Lanka knew this. For years he worshipped, showing his devotion through isolation, prayer, and penance before the shrine of Shiva. Yet for years he was met with only silence. In his pursuit of immortality, he sacrificed his very life. He cut off his own head.
Agony and pain met him as it regrew. He was greeted not by death, but by rejection. Shiva the Destroyer did not want him. Ravana was undaunted. Nine more times his head was offered, and on his tenth sacrifice, Shiva was finally sated.
For the Demon King, Shiva granted a boon. Instead of immortality, he gained invulnerability against those he viewed as threats – gods or demons. Ravana could not be destroyed.
A master of combat, a genius scholar, a peerless leader, and now invincible, Ravana amassed an army of fiends and monsters to conquer the world. None could stop him. The Monkey King tried, but Ravana fought off his attacks. The Demon King’s armies conquered all, leaving Ravana to rule from the golden throne.
Vishnu, in his wisdom and grace, would not permit Ravana’s dominance. By gods and demons Ravana could not be harmed, but by mortals…
Thus was Vishnu reborn as Rama, a mere man. Now trained as a warrior, Rama calls the Demon King to battle.
Pride scraping like a knee on stone, Ravana rallies his monstrous siblings, his conquered allies, and his formidable army to answer Rama’s taunt and their rivalry will shake the world.
ABILITIES
06/26/15 Changes: Corrected the attack progression to properly follow the .5/.75/1 timing and damage.
Chain of Blows
Each successive hit within 5 seconds adds to Ravana’s combo chain, allowing Prana Onslaught to do an additional 7.5% damage for each hit in the combo, up to a maximum of 60% total. Additional hits above 8 will not count towards this damage again until Prana Onslaught has been fired.
06/26/15 Changes: Now adds the intended 7.5% damage to Prana Onslaught instead of 10%.
Tooltip updated to indicate Chain of Blows does not stack on towers.
Prana Onslaught
Ravana throws a powerful punch, projecting his prana with it to deal 60/80/110/150/200 (+75% of his physical power) damage and slowing for 2s all enemies in front of him.
Cost: 30/38/45/53/60.
Cooldown: 6s.
06/26/15 Changes: The targeter has been removed; this makes Prana Onslaught an instant cast ability.
Fixed an issue where missing with this ability would cause Ravana to lose a stack of Chain of Blows.
07/02/15 Changes: Added the targeter back in. Players who preferred no targeter may switch the ability to instant fire mode in the K screen, although all fire modes will now interrupt his melee chain.
Overhead Kick
Ravana performs a high kick sending a shockwave forward to deal 55/90/125/160/195 (+70% of his physical power) damage to all enemies in a line and rendering him damage immune during the action. Cost: 60/65/70/75/80.
Cooldown: 16/15/14/13/12s.
10-Hand Shadow Fist
Ravana’s fists fly forward, dealing 115/140/164/190/215 (+55% of his physical power) in damage to enemies in a line passing through minions and stopping on the first god hit. Hit gods are rooted for 1s. Damaging enemies heals Ravana based on damage dealt.

Ravana rushes to his target, dealing 70/100/125/150/175 (+35% of his physical power) in damage to them and knocking aside all enemies in his path. The target is then linked to Ravana, doing full damage to him while all other enemies do 40% reduced damage.
Cost: 80/90/100/110/120.
Cooldown: 90/85/80/75/70s.
06/26/15 Changes: Ravana can now use this ability while crippled.

Jungle Changes
- Reduced Elder Harpy XP value from
140to 110. This includes Mid Camp and Back Camp Elder Harpies. - Increased small Harpy XP value from
22to 30.
-
General
- “The warding meta-game within Smite has become stale. There is currently no scarcity in vision. Reducing the vision range of Basic Wards and incentivizing removing wards is expected to increase “gankability” in the laning phase.”
- Reduced the maximum number of wards placed per player from 3 to 2.
- Killing an enemy Basic Ward or Sentry Ward rewards 50 gold. (Last hit only, no assist).
- Basic Ward vision range reduced from 60 to 45.
- All Wards are revealed for 1s when placed.
- Eye of Providence has been removed.
- “The Gold Fury rewards now scale making early kills less destabilizing and to encourage trading towers for early objectives.
- The value of the Gold Fury kill now scales team gold starting at 100 and gaining +10 per minute of game time, to a maximum of 350.
- The value of the Gold Fury kill now scales team XP starting at 100 and gaining +10 per minute of game time, to a maximum of 250.
- The Gold Fury now breaks player deployables that bar her path.
- “XP rewards for god Kills in the early game have been adjusted. The calculations now grant less for low level victims, but still are rewarding at higher levels.”
- Globally, XP bounties for players has been adjusted to reward less XP for early game kills, by giving 50 + 30 * Victim’s Level.
- In Arena, XP bounties for players remain similar to before, rewarding 50 + 13 * Victim’s Level.

- “The mid camps are returning to their first spawn at 0:10 to encourage more diversity in teamwide jungle starts. Along with this, we are adjusting the flow of the jungle by offsetting and reducing many of the jungle camp respawns. We want the jungle to feel fluid and varied, giving the jungler role in Conquest more options for possible routes while ensuring they have enough to do in between ganks.”
“A highly requested change, the point at which lifesteal items can allow soloing objectives is being shifted to much later in the game.”
Fire Giant, and Gold Fury now have 50% reduction in Lifesteal from hitting them.

ITEMS
Most of our itemization adjustments this patch are focused around Hunters, and the recent meta shift. We are primarily adjusting early game builds in this patch, and we will look to make more substantial adjustments to the late game as needed in subsequent patches.
Hand of the Gods
Rank 1: Only hits a single target. Target is always the one with the highest maximum health.
Rank 2: Now hits 2 targets. Targets are always the two with the highest maximum health.
Rank 3: For a while Wrath has been the primary indicator of which team would take an objective. While we still want Wrath to have the ability to secure objectives, we also want well timed high-damaging ultimates to be contenders. This change from percent health to flat damage on Wrath allows that in the late game.
- No longer deals a % of health damage to objectives bosses.
- Now deals 480 true damage to jungle camps, and 900 true damage to objectives (Conquest’s Fire Giant and Gold Fury, Siege’s Juggernaut).
- Subsequent Wrath of the Gods uses by your team on the same target deal 50% reduced damage for 10s.
- Objective health bars now turn yellow at 900 health.
Fist of the Gods (Rank 3): NPC Targets are always the three with the highest maximum health.
Greater Sprint
Sprint as a whole was providing too much utility as an escape tool in the early game and transitioning into a heavily offensive skewed ability in the late game.
- No longer removes in-hand movement speed penalty.
Heavenly Agility
Reduced duration from 6s to 5s.
Hastened Fatalis
The in-hand movement speed penalty is now removed for 2s instead of 1s on successful hit.
06/26/15 Changes: Duration of basic attack movement penalty reduction has been reduced to 1s.
Qin’s Sais
Price reduced from 3050 to 2850.
Shoes of the Magi
Magical Power Reduction changed from 65 to 40.
NEW! Provides +10 Magical Penetration.
Price increased from 1550 to 1600.
Magi’s Blessing
Even with earlier adjustments, Magi’s Blessing is over performing; activating multiple times in skirmishes. This item has moved outside of its intended position as an anti-cc tool to an obligatory luxury item for all classes. We are extending the cooldown on the passive and adding a bump in gold to focus this item more precisely.
Increased price from 2250 to 2350.
Increased cooldown from 60s to 90s.
Heartseeker
Heartseeker has always been an exciting item. However, we are shifting its focus away from farming and to a more exciting stacking method. Along with this, the amount of stacks has been greatly reduced, meaning that subsequently each stack is worth far more Physical Power.
+20 Physical Power
+10 Movement Speed.
Passive: You gain +6 Physical Power per stack, and receive 2 stacks per god kill and 1 stack per god kill assist. Half of your stacks are lost on death. (Max 10 stacks).
Doom Orb
+40 Magical Power
+200 Mana
+7MP5.
Passive: You gain +10 Magical Power per stack, and receive 2 stacks per god kill and 1 stack per god kill assist. Half of your stacks are lost on death. (Max 10 stacks).
Void Shield
Fixed description displaying “Passive” instead of “Aura”.
Witchblade
Fixed tooltip error showing +20% Attack Speed instead of +15%.
BALANCE CHANGES
Agni
Fixed missing fire fx playing in lobby.
Ah Puch
Undead Surge: Updated tooltip to say at ranks 1-3 this ability only spawns one decaying corpse.
Apollo
Across the Sky: Fixed a few Conquest map issues where Apollo could leave the map.
Awilix
Feather Step: Fixed not Crippling Sun Wukong while in Bird form.
Gravity Surge: Fixed Roots not properly shedding.
Bastet
Since these pesky cat’s natural predator (Hand of the Gods) is seeing a reduction, the kitty’s health is being reduced as well.
Cat Call: Reduced health of cats from 650/700/750/800/850 to 500/550/600/650/700.
Chaac
Rain Dance: Fixed missing targeters from Slaughterhouse skin.
