Smite Update 12.30 (9.9 bonus update) is out, and here are all the changes and improvements coming with the patch. According to the patch notes, the latest update is adding some balance changes and tweaks to the game. Other than this, the Smite update 12.30 is also bringing some stability improvements. The last major update (update 9.8) added a new Goddess to the game, along with a new Odyssey Event. Not too long ago, a hotfix was also released to fix bugs players were experiencing. Unfortunately, players are still facing similar problems in the game, and hopefully, update 12.30 for Smite will fix some of these issues. Here’s the complete list of patch notes for Smite update 12.30.
Smite Update 12.30 Patch Notes 9.9 Bonus Update
Bug Fixes
Conquest Scorpions:
- Fixed an issue where these did not regen HP once leashed
Balance Updates (Going Live on October 4)
Changes to Items
(Upgrade) Bluestone Brooch
In this bonus update, we have three changes that are closely tied together. Warriors (and sometimes Guardians) have an especially high damage output. The items contributing to this are all seeing decreases in the bonus damage that their passives can deal out. We wanted to make sure to hit all three of these items, which affect different classes and different phases of the game.
Decreased the Bonus Damage Scaling on the Item’s Passive from 7.5% to 6% of the target’s current health.
Gladiator’s Shield
Decreased the Bonus Damage Scaling on the Item’s Passive from 35% to 30% of your Protections from items and abilities
Manticore’s Spikes
Decreased Damage on this item’s Passive from 4%/8% to 3%/6% of the allies/item’s owner max HP
Transcendence
Decreased Physical Power from 40 to 35
Changes to Gods
Yu Huang
Dueling Dragons – Decreased the Magical Power Scaling on the Push Damage from 60% to 50%
Cabrakan
Refraction Shield – Decreased Base Damage from 100/155/210/265/320 to 80/135/190/245/300
Tremors – Decrease Base Damage per tick from 22/32/42/52/62 to 18/28/38/48/58
King Arthur
Excalibur’s Wrath – Decreased Max HP Damage from 5/6.5/8/9.5/11% to 5/6/7/8/9% on the Landing Hit
The balance changes are relatively minor, but hopefully, the bugs and glitches should be reduced. Smite update 12.30 is available on PlayStation 4, PC, and Xbox One. For future information on updates, visit the Smite website.
