Goddess of the Sky Update Rolls Out With New Features and Balances
In the latest update from the SMITE universe, a new character graces the battleground: Nut, the Egyptian goddess, mother of all creation, and now the latest hunter in the game. This update, titled “Goddess of the Sky,” not only introduces Nut but also brings the new Cross-Gen Pass, balance changes, and continues the 10 million gem giveaway.
Introduction of Nut
Nut’s arrival in SMITE is significant for several reasons. Historically revered as the sky goddess in Egyptian mythology, Nut is depicted as the guide to the afterlife and the protector of the earth. SMITE’s rendition of Nut diverges from traditional hunter archetypes; she doesn’t use a bow but launches cosmic projectiles with her hands, embodying a unique blend of magical and physical realms. Nut is designed for the Carry role but offers flexibility in gameplay with her abilities that reset and chain for continuous damage output. Her ultimate, Skyfall, introduces a semi-global attack, promising a strategic advantage in team fights.
Nut’s Gameplay Mechanics
- Main Ability: Nut’s Convergence fires projectiles that increase in number with accurate hits, and its cooldown resets with her movement ability, Warp.
- Movement Ability: Warp allows Nut to teleport short distances, emphasizing mobility and strategic positioning.
- Ultimate Ability: Skyfall darkens the battleground and summons a destructive black hole, capable of turning the tide in team battles.
The community challenge, Race to Diamond, invites players to rapidly master Nut for exclusive rewards, emphasizing her anticipated impact on gameplay dynamics.
Gleaming Valor Cross-Gen Pass and Future Updates
The introduction of the Gleaming Valor Cross-Gen Pass accompanies Nut’s arrival, offering players new skins, cosmetics, and the promise of future compatibility with SMITE 2. Among the highlighted Cross-Gen Skins are Gleaming Defender Ares and Gleaming Archer Hou Yi, signaling these gods’ availability in SMITE and the upcoming SMITE 2. The update hints at more gods joining SMITE 2, including Hades, Aphrodite, Susano, Ares, and Hou Yi, expanding the roster for the sequel.
Nut’s introduction as the newest Egyptian hunter in SMITE brings a fresh dynamic to the game’s extensive pantheon of deities. Her unique abilities, combined with the latest Cross-Gen Pass and the ongoing gem giveaway, mark a significant update for the SMITE community. As players explore the capabilities of Nut and look forward to the integration of new gods into SMITE 2, the battleground of the gods continues to evolve.
Gleaming Valor Cross-Gen Pass
