“In Season 4, we are updating some of our core features of SMITE. Ranked is receiving a revamp to its structure, T-Screen makes its return, and players who have Diamond Mastered gods will have new forms of progression available to them.” T screen returns
“The Season Ticket has undergone a redesign this year in both how it looks and how it functions. First and foremost, The Season Ticket has now been divided into three different Splits. During these splits, ALL players will be able to earn FP and progress towards FP unlocks without paying in to the Season Ticket. Purchasing the Season Ticket will now provide immediate rewards exclusive to purchasing the ticket as well as bonus FP and the ability to vote on games to earn more. Unlocked by Purchasing the Spring Season Ticket
“Clash has quickly become one of SMITE’s most popular game modes! It is a fun middle ground between Arena and other lane based modes, like Conquest. Player feedback overwhelmingly showed that they wanted a new art style besides Greek, so we brought back one of our favorites: Egyptian! Clash now features a completely new art style as well as a new Jungle Boss, Apophis, the Chaos Serpent. It also features a variety of layout changes, while staying true to the core design of Clash.” New Art Style
“Conquest is the primary competitive game mode for SMITE. With each new season comes new challenges to this map. We listened and watched carefully as Season 3 unfolded. In 2016, we saw the rise and fall of many types of metagame, but there were two primary issues we wanted to address: Adding more meaningful choices to early game and enhancing late game objectives. We believe the Season 4 Conquest update will bring a diverse group of strategies with its new start and twists on Gold Fury and Fire Giant!” Map Changes
General Gameplay
“The Experience and Gold rates around the map have changed. Minion Waves are now worth slightly less Experience, while the Jungle holds a little more Experience. This combined with changes to the start of the map, Jungle difficulty, and changes to Bumba’s Mask are designed with the goal of removing the focus on the mid lane.” Conquest Minion Changes
Rituals “A new type of item comes to SMITE as a Consumable! The powerful Ritual Items are designed to enhance the late game experience of SMITE. When your build was finished, there were very few options for players to help end the game. Rituals will now provide way more options, but at a very high cost, especially since you only get one use per purchase. These items will allow skilled players to make truly amazing plays in the late game.” Features
Flickering Ritual
Chalices “Another new Consumable enters SMITE, but these are for the early game. Chalices allow players to invest an initially large amount of Gold for a stack of Potions or Wards that can be refilled. These are priced appropriately to fit well into starting builds.” Features
Chalice of Healing
“With the addition of Chalices and Rituals and the balance adjustments in season 3, Power Potions have become less attractive. They are seeing slight buffs to their duration to help them compete with other Consumables and help them better stack with Rituals.” Potion of Magical Might
“Relics are seeing a variety of balance changes, as well as two more system changes. The smaller of which is new names and Icons. Relics have been renamed to their historical SMITE names and are also now all actually in reference to Relics, aka legendary objects. The larger new feature is Relic Upgrading! In Season 4 at any time in a match, you may pay 500 Gold to upgrade your Relic for a specified bonus. This adds a good bit of complexity to build order allows for more meaningful choices in selecting which Relics to use.” General
Frenzy
Aegis Amulet
“In Season 4, we want to focus on each Relic’s most unique element. Curse is having its Slow removed to allow its Healing Reduction features to shine. This relic might seem weaker overall, but against specific healing heavy teams it is now much stronger.”
“Hand of the Gods was originally designed to be a jungle clear assistance tool, and it will be returning to that form again in Season 4. Using a Relic to secure jungle bosses really took away from gods who had great abilities for this same purpose, so HoG (or Wrath) won’t be filling that niche anymore. To compensate for its loss of jungle boss effects, it is gaining a strong cooldown reduction for getting the killing blow on jungle monsters.”
Horrific Emblem
“A brand new Relic is making its appearance in SMITE. Bracer of Undoing falls into the realm of Beads and Aegis, by giving an individual player a strong tool to prevent their own death. This Relic allows for players to heavily bait their enemies, thinking they will secure a kill, but it can be countered by Healing Reduction.”
“With Season 4, we are making a large number of changes to items with a few goals in mine. First and foremost, we want players to have more control and options over their starting builds. We added new Starting Items and reduced the cost of most Tier 1 items, allowing for players to mix and match items together in ways that haven’t be available before. This should provide a good foundation for players to explore non-traditional roles, such as Warrior supports or Mage Solos. Additionally, Item Passives are more focused on finding opportunities to counter build against opponents. Core stats like CDR and Penetration are found on more items and are tied to more unique effects, allowing for increased diversity when building these stats. Support players will also find a variety of new aura and utility options to assist their team. With our Season 4 patch, there are many new items, effects, and balance changes and we want players to experiment on PTS with these new choices. We will be watching closely and making final balance and design decisions as PTS unfolds.”
Starter Items Bluestone Pendant “Bluestone is losing some total Mana and gaining some MP5 to focus it more towards its intended role: Empowering Physical gods with Ability-based clear and poke Damage.”
“Bumba’s Mark is seeing significant changes in Cost Reduction, increased Damage, and the removal of Gold splitting. In Season 4, we want Junglers to have more diverse God selection, builds and more independence. The large adjustments to Conquest synergize with these goals.”
“Death’s Toll is losing some Power while gaining increased Health and Passive effects to focus it more toward its intended role: Providing Physical gods with early game sustain.”
“Rangda’s Mask is the aggressive cousin of Bumba’s Mask. It can be splashed into early builds to enable and reward players who look have aggressive ganking or roaming playstyles.
“This Starter Item is a hybrid utility Item that could be utilized by many Mages and some Guardians. While Soul Stone is for pure Damage and Vampiric Shroud is for Health Sustain, Sands of Time is for Mana and Cooldown, a starting stat gap that existed for Support and hybrid Mages.”
“Soul Stone is seeing a change to its Passive to have it work more consistently among gods that deal Magical Damage in many different ways. It is also losing the MP5 per Stacks and instead gaining a flat Mana Heal when Stacks are consumed to encourage constant use of the item.“
“Swift Wing is a new utility based starter item that any type of God can utilize. It can especially help Solo Laners who opt out of the Teleport Relic or gods with low Sustain who will be returning to base often.”
“This item is design specifically to facilitate Warrior and Assassin picks in the Duo Lane or Support Role, and has interesting applications in game modes besides Conquest. This item requires a teammate to make use of its Passive, and allows Warriors to play more as more aggressive versions of their Guardian counterparts. It has distinct advantages from Watcher’s Gift that encourage early game aggression while sacrificing the Gold Bonus.”
“Watcher’s Gift is seeing some slight adjustments to provide more of the stats Guardians and Support would want.”
Magical Lifesteal Tree “With some new anti-healing items and some adjustment to healing gods, lifesteal is seeing an increase. As a form of healing that requires damage to be dealt, lifesteal is a fair way to heal.” Tiny Trinket
“Pythagorem’s Piece has always been OK at doing a few different things, instead of being good at one thing. The Item will now be clearly positioned as a Lifesteal Aura item for Guardians or supportive Mages and will now benefit your whole team regardless of composition.”
“A new Mage Lifesteal Item has been added to the roster to help Mage sustainability through Magical Lifesteal. This item’s ability to provide Power, Lifesteal, Health and a Health Shield should help Lifesteal Mages round out their stats without adding a purely defensive item to their build.”
Magic Focus
“Mages are great at applying Divine Ruin’s Passive with their large area effect spells, but often times Mages did not want to itemize into a low power Lifesteal Item. Divine Ruin is keeping its name and Passive, but losing its Lifesteal and moving to the Magic Focus tree. With added Magical Penetration to make it easier to use when anti-heal is needed.”
“Spear of Desolation had an interesting Passive and extreme Power, but the Item saw little use. The cost and unreliability of the Passive combined to make the item less attractive, so it is seeing large changes. This item will now provide Magical Penetration and Cooldown Reduction, to help Mages itemize into stats they really want, but the cost must remain somewhat high for such a powerful stat combination.”
“As the Celtic gods join the battleground, so do some Celtic Items. The first being the new Druid Stone tree that provides Magical Power and Magical Protections. Here we see Void Stone in its new home where it is joined by more new Mage items.” Druid Stone
“Stone of Binding is a new bridge item for Guardians or Mages who need some defenses. Ensuring all damage types have these sort of options helps our goal of allowing for more unconventional positions and role to exist.”
“Stone of Fal gives mages the ability to hard counter the opposing mage at a cost. While the ability to reduce huge burst can greatly hinder your opponents, this item is expensive and comes at a loss of power compared to many core Mage items. Finding the right time to build the Stone of Fal will be key to successfully using this new item.”

Re: Патч 4.1
Magical Power and Physical Protection Tree
Celestial Legion Helm “Through many balance changes Celestial Legion Helm became too strong for a reason completely unrelated to its passive, giving mages a very strong source of physical protection in the early game. Celestial Legion Helm is being redesigned as an opposite to Lotus Crown. Now when players receive a heal from a god with this item they will gain increased Physical and Magical Power. Additionally this item provides the user with more raw power at the cost of protections allowing the user to be more powerful instead of defensive.”
“Some Aura effects are being shifted around in Season 4. Previously, Runic Shield and Witchblade were counterparts of reducing opponent’s Power and Attack Speed. However, Witchblade was available to all gods, while Runic Shield was available only to Physical gods. To balance these effects out, Witchblade will now only reduce Attack Speed, Runic Shield will only reduce Magical Power, and this new item will reduce Physical Power.”
Restored Artifact
“Chronos Pendant is receiving a new Passive to make it the premier Mage Cooldown Item. The new Passive allows you to overcap CDR and especially benefits low Cooldown Mages There is also has an additional element of skill to it, allowing low Cooldown Mages to time their abilities to maximize the Passive even more.”
Soul Reliquary
Uncommon Sash
“The Magical Power and Health tree now branches into a new side, with Crowd Control Reduction added and Mana removed. This stat continues through the tree to add CCR to some old items, allowing Mages who need extra survivability to gain CCR as well as Health without using extra build slots.”
“As SMITE develops, our design goals have become more focused. All items that had “Stat Conversion” Passives have been phased out, and now Ethereal Staff, the last one remaining, also will see an update. We feel that unique Passives and clear itemization towards specific stats are much healthier for the game than stat conversions. The item finds a new home as a way to maximize Damage on low Cooldown Magical gods, especially against tanky opponents.”
“Both Rod of Healing and Rod of Asclepius are having their healing buffs adjusted to be more potent in combat. As healing continues to be a hotly debated subject in SMITE, we feel that out of combat healing is much less fun for all players than in combat healing. Season 4 adds more items to counter healers, but that means healers need some additional tools to reward them for playing & itemizing well.”
Emerald Ring
“A new luxury tier item has been added with a re-design of Telkhines Ring. Previously the item had very limited viability and was mostly outclassed by Demonic Grip. The new Passive clearly separates the two items into different cost tiers and use cases. Demonic Grip serves as a better item against tanks by reducing target’s Protection by a percentage while Telkhines Ring takes hold as the more selfish option, increasing only your own Power to take down squishy enemies.”
“As more Magical Power gods become played like Hunters, more items should be available for them to opt into. Instead of splashing Lifesteal items, these Mages can build Shaman’s Ring for some solid sustain while still contributing toward their primary build goals. The item also has some interesting applications on hybrid build Guardians in non-support roles.”
Physical Lifesteal Bound Gauntlet
“Soul Eater has long been a heavy sustain or tanky splash item for Hunters and Assassins, usually causing frustration of their opponents. The item has be repositioned as a hybrid sustain item, providing the stats that class needs to stay in the fight longer and filling a niche that previously had no items.”
Mace
“Brawler’s Beat Stick was too often picked up on all Assassins, even when there was no healing on the enemy team. Penetration is a valuable stat but this item should not be so strong as to be picked up every game. It is seeing a slight increase to the Healing Reduction and decrease in Penetration to encourage more varied builds and stronger counter building.”
“The Crusher is no longer focused on crushing the enemy structures, but crushing them with Abilities. Hunters who have more power in their Abilities have lacked an item that specifically helped them scale into the late game with Basics, but allowed their Ability based kits to shine. With Power, Attack Speed, Penetration, and Cooldown Reduction for doing what Hunters do, this item should fit nicely into builds that want to focus on Ability usage instead of raw Basic Attack Damage.”
Round Shield
“Assassins and Hunters have had strong bridge items in Ichival and Asi, leaving Warriors with fewer choices in how they transition their builds. Gladiator’s Shield helps fill this gap, providing some key stats for Warriors and a bit of extra sustain during lane skirmishes.”
Enchanted Buckler
Morningstar
Cudgel
“Runeforged Hammer in Season 3 was on the way to viability with a strong synergy with Slows, but the effect was over complicated and hard to optimize within a team. This new streamlined Passive is more self contained to the owner of the item, and should be an easier decision on when to pick up based on your team comp.”
“Another new Celtic item has found its way into the shop. This blunt weapon of Irish origins will help bring more parity between the Physical Cudgel Tree and the Magical Sash Tree by providing a new branch with Power, Health and Mana.”
“The dark and magical bark of the blackthorn tree creates a new hammer weapon for the gods of SMITE. While Frostbound and Runeforged provide generally aggressive effects, Blackthorn Hammer provides a defensive one. This hammer should help Warriors and possibly Assassins execute those stunning redlined health escapes they love so much.”
Light Blade
Short Bow
“Season 3 was the introduction of Magical ADCs to the Duo Lane. We like the variety, but the items provided to Hunters were largely made with the assumption that they would be fighting other Hunters. Silverbranch Bow will help Hunters have an Ichival-like item that helps them against Magical Damage dealers in the laning phase.”
“In Season 3, we experimented with a melee only item which was very interesting. For Season 4, we are making the entire Katana tree melee only, allowing us to create even more specialized items for Warriors and Assassins without having to worry about Hunters breaking them or people buying them on accident.” Katana
“The Melee only tree has two options that focus more on Assassin styles of play so we wanted to create a new item for Warriors that aid them in one of their primary roles, backline diving and Disruption.”
Hidden Dagger
“Rage has struggled to find a place in Crit builds as there are many powerful options. To help Rage compete better, it is gaining an exciting new Passive that could allow Hunters to temporarily reach very high Crit Chance off of a single item. Its cost is being to compensate for the power shift.”
