Power bends. Magic fractures. The Dark Enchantress has arrived.

Morgan Le Fay joins SMITE 2, bringing layered spellcraft, sigil selection, and escalating power into every fight. Mark enemies with five unique Symbols to trigger Empowered Blade, reduce cooldowns, gain Intelligence, and scale permanently throughout the match.

Choose your magic in real time with Sigil Mastery, summon dragons with knockup and knockback pressure, punish movement with Shroud of Wildfire, and unleash Consuming Power, a devastating CC immune ultimate that grows stronger based on the variety of Marks consumed.

On February 27, her Aspect of the Cursed Crown arrives, transforming her into a melee battlemage. Gain Wrath over time, fire all three Sigils at once in a Venn diagram of doom, and unleash a two-stage ultimate at 40 or 80 Wrath. This Aspect trades ranged safety for close-range devastation and Max Health-scaling explosions.

Adaptive Starters & Conquest Role Buffs Are Here

Starter items have been fundamentally reworked to provide Adaptive Stats, intelligently granting Strength or Intelligence based on your build. This opens hybrid paths, enables flexible itemization, and reshapes early-game decisions across every role.

Role-specific bonuses have also been introduced in Conquest, giving Support, Jungle, Solo, Mid, and Carry distinct identity advantages throughout the match. The two systems combine make more starters viable than ever for Junglers and Supports.

Arena After Dark

Arena receives a dramatic visual overhaul:

  • New stadium-themed night lighting

  • Order vs Chaos spotlight presentation

  • Updated ground and sky materials

  • Atmospheric fog and environmental touches

The Battleground has never looked more intense.

Multiqueue Expanded

Multiqueue now allows players to select exactly which modes they want to queue for:

Conquest Arena Joust Assault

Regional optimizations improve matchmaking quality and reduce wait times across supported regions.

New Wandering Market Travelers

Midnight Glamour Neith Jandroid Janus

Both include Wyrm Seals for progression in the Archfiend Saga event.

A new Reward Traveler also arrives:

Grovebound Mordred, unlocked after collecting 6 Wyrm Seals.

And So Much More

  • Updated God Screen Now clearly shows Physical or Magical damage types and adds a small icon view option.

  • Improved Support Access New out-of-game Escape Menu buttons link directly to Support and Bug Reporting.

  • Crowd Control Clarity Fixes Ability icons now properly X out when affected by CC. Fixed lingering CC immunity visuals.

  • Death Metal Rework Converts Intelligence into Strength during its effect and increases Crit Chance to 20%. No longer buffs allies or grants Attack Speed.

  • Lobby & Store Stability Fixes Fixed god models not loading, item store selection issues, and controller Aspect selection bugs.

  • Arena & UI Fixes Colorblind Minotaur indicators fixed. Mastery stars now display correctly.

  • Gameplay Bug Fixes Hou Yi interruption corrected, bot knockups fixed, Danza camera issue resolved, and various VFX/ability issues cleaned up.

Magic is changing. Builds are evolving. The Battleground is darker than ever.

Step into the crown. Play SMITE 2 now.
