Smite Season 6: Patch 6.6 “Neo Olympia”

Patch 6.6 “Neo Olympia” Intro:

With Smite’s season 6 well under way, Titan Forge continues with it’s monthly patch notes release to improve the game, change up the meta and account for any character or item tweaks to make the game better.

Want to see where your favorite god ranks? Check out our Smite Tier List which is updated to reflect this patch.

Let’s start off with Project Olympus, Titan Forge’s ongoing project to improve the overall quality of Smite.

Project Olympus:

| Chests:

  • Godlike Chests (obtainable from Commendation Rewards)
    • Will no longer provide team boosters unless the player owns everything else
    • Now has a larger pool of possible Exclusive Skins
  • Triumphant Chests and Enigma Chests
    • Updated contents to make sure all recent God emotes were included

| VGS:

  • Increased duration of text chat and VGS text on screen from 3s to 10s

| Cu Chulainn:

Berserk:

  • Fixed an issue where an ability used right before Cu Chulainn’s transformation into Berserk form would delay the transformation for a prolonged period of time.
    • You should now transform immediately after the ability animation is over.
  • Fixed an issue where an ability used right before Cu Chulainn’s transformation into normal form would cause the normal form ability animation to play instead of the Berserk ability animation.
    • The Berserk form ability animation should correctly play before the immediate transformation back to normal form.
  • Fixed an issue where the Passive meter would not properly drain if Cu Chulainn uses an ability to stall his transformation.
  • Fixed an issue where Cu Chulainn did not say his Berserk VO Line in online matches. Should be noted that Cu Chulainn does not say any VO lines when he exits his Berserk form. This is intended.

Furious Charge:

| General Ability Icons:

  • In order to provide additional UI clarity we have made the following changes:
    • The ability level up animation has been slowed down slightly and has a more pronounced gold hue.
      • This should help contrast versus the channeling ability animation which is a rapid pulse with a white hue.
  • The console level up animation now has a gold border around the ability icons.
    • This was already the case on PC.

  • The Morrigan:
    • Fixed an issue where this god could cause Spectator mode to crash.
  • Scylla:
    • Added new audio elements and increased volume on other sound FX to improve clarity on Scylla’s ultimate ability on her Terror of the Deep skin.
  • Sylvanus:
    • Fixed an issue where Wisp’s particle FX would replay and persist on gods longer than intended.
