New Classic God: Ah Puch
Ah Puch, the Mayan God of Decay
Passive Hollow Ground
Exhume decaying corpses at will. When you walk over a decaying corpse, reduce the Cooldown of Undead Surge and Corpse Explosion by 1s, restore a portion of your max Health and Mana.
Enemy gods and the Fire Giant can destroy corpses with 2 Attacks
You can have up to 6 corpses (max duration); placing more removes the oldest
Ability 1:Undead Surge
Raise up to two decaying corpses from the underworld that surge forward, exploding on contact, at max range, or when you reactivate Undead Surge, dealing Magical Damage. Enemies hit are Slowed and have their Healing reduced for a duration. Corpses collapse after exploding and remain behind as decaying corpses.
Ability 2:.Corpse Explosion
Cause the target area to expode, dealing Magical Damage. Corpse Explosion also detonates any decaying corpses in the area, each dealing additional Magical Damage.
Ability 3: Fleeting Breath
Throw a charm from the underworld that awakens a decaying corpse, applying miasma to enemies in an area. The corpse falls to the ground and remains behind. Enemies take Magical Damage over time. After the duration, enemies that healed while they had this effect take Magical Damage and are Stunned.
Ultimate Ability: Empty The Crypts
Unleash a field of spirits at a target location for 6s. Enemies inside the field take Magical Damage every 0.5s.
Each tick applies stacking Healing Reduction and Damage Dealt reduction (stacks refresh)
After casting this ability, your next 3 Attacks also launch zombies that leave decaying corpses behind
Aspect of the Death March releasing 22nd May
Each decaying corpse you walk over reduces the Cooldown of Fleeting Breath instead of the Cooldown of Corpse Explosion.
Corpse Explosion becomes Wraith Call, which haunts enemy gods dealing bonus damage and significantly debuffing targets on ability hits.
Empty The Crypts deals less damage per tick but Slows haunted enemy gods inside the field.

Increased Vortex CC strength against Jungle Monsters
Runic Bomb
Runic Bomb was dealing extra physical damage to bosses, on top of the 1000 damage already being dealt. The extra phys damage has been removed as a nerf, but now the damage dealt to bosses cannot be mitigated.
The physical damage portion of the explosion now only applies to Gods
Increased physical damage vs Gods 300 -> 500
The 1000 damage dealt to Towers, Bosses, and Minions is now pure damage that bypasses all types of mitigation
Fire Giant and Gold Fury
Minions and Pets tanking these objectives now have -75% reduced healing

Base

Enhanced
Decreased healing from 2% -> 1.6% of Max Health per second
Decreased mana regen from 2% -> 1% of Max Mana per second
Enhanced Fire Giant
Enhanced Fire Giant being too difficult to kill went against its design goal of being the powerplay option to end games decisively (or at least get very close to ending). EFG’s stats are now more in line with normal Fire Giant.
Removed Fire Giant’s additional Max Health while Enhanced (was +4000)
Decreased Fire Giant’s additional Strength while Enhanced +85 -> +40
Moonlight
A few changes to make both the middle objective and the race to collect shards more competitive…
Lowered the cap on the number of Shards collected, and made it possible for teams to tie and both get Lane Pushers
The Ritual Site at the center of the map now functions similar to how Beacon did in Smite 1, with a couple tweaks. Capturing it is now what awards your team with the Ritual consumable (it’s still also a source of Shards, but less than before)
… and re-align the goals and structure of the Moonlight Phase:
Moonlight Objectives
These offer opportunities for PvP, and grant unique rewards for winning these individual objectives
Moonlight Shards
The number collected represents how well your team as a whole controlled the entire map during the Moonlight Phase, and grant the Lane Pushers as a reward for playing better overall
Reduced maximum number of Shards teams can collect 100 -> 75
Lane Pushers
Now always spawn at the end of the Moonlight Phase for the team with the highest number of Shards collected
If scores are tied, Lane Pushers will spawn for both teams
Ritual Site
This point at the center of the map is now capturable by standing in it for approx. 25s
Capturing the Ritual Site awards your team the Ritual consumable and +50 Team Gold
Shards still rain from the sky while capturing, but they are no longer tied to winning the consumable
Capture Rules:
Capturing speeds up slightly with more teammates on the point
Tug-Of-War: Capture progress is retained if control of the point is lost. However, if the capture progress of both teams exceeds the total progress needed to win the capture point, the team in control will begin reducing the progress of the enemy team.
Teams will automatically win the Capture Point if they’re in control of it when the Moonlight Phase ends
