Smite Season 8 Patch Notes

Check out the Smite Season 8 update patch notes below:

Bug Fixes

UI

• Fixed an issue where the menu would sometimes close when attempting to search for “Other Players” to send a gift to
• Fixed an issue where buying a skin in lobby would appear to make that the selected skin – but loading into the match would equip the previously selected skin before the purchase

General Gameplay

• Implemented a Hotfix (Live Already) – that attempts to fix the issues where certain gods would appear to be stuck in certain animation states – for example: Serqet would appear to be repeatedly leaping. These gods were not actually firing these abilities repeatedly, it just looked like they were. This issue should be fixed already or greatly reduced in its chance of occurring.
• Fixed an issue where almost any god/skin had a chance for its voice pack to become silent for a single match
• Fixed an issue where it appeared to players who purchased a skin in the god lobby as though the skin was selected, until the loading screen where it would be reverted to their previously selected skin.

Clash Map

• Removed an unintended fog volume that was visible in the jungle areas of this mode

Gods

Danzaburou

• Fixed an issue where his Ability 02 – Alluring Spirits – could be cancelled mid-fire without being put on cooldown
• Fixed an issue where level-up effects would play on Danzaburou when he is in leaf form – these will no longer play on him at that time
• Fixed an issue where the buff icons from his passive would sometimes not appear as intended
• Fixed an issue where his cult could be interrupted while CC immune and already firing

Hel

• Fixed an issue where Hel had unintended reduced healing while in her dark stance
• Fixed an issue where Decay hit FX were playing in incorrect ways on enemy gods/minions hit by the effect

Set

• Fixed an issue where Set’s sand clones would sometimes deal no damage when passing through enemies.

Ymir

• Fixed an issue where it was possible to stack 2 copies of Frostbite in some scenarios

Awilix

• Fixed an issue where if Awilix was interrupted during the casting time on Suku’s Leap – she would be removed from Suku. If she did not leap, she should get another chance to leap. If she is interrupted while leaping – this ability will go on cooldown

Aphrodite

• Fixed an issue where Love Birds would sometimes not hit enemies clearly in the hit area

Hera

• Fixed a typo in her achievement text

The Morrigan

• Fixed an issue where her victory/defeat animations could get out of sync

Chibi Skins
