SMITE Version 1.0.2091

New God: Kumbhakarna - The Sleeping Giant | April 16, 2014[]

Sleepy (Passive)[]

Kumbhakarna does not die when he reaches 0 health, instead he falls asleep. He will awaken after 8s at 25% health and mana, unless hit with 6 basic attacks (+1 every 5 levels) while sleeping. This passive has a 240s cooldown.

Throw Back[]

Kumbhakarna sleepily runs forward. If he hits an enemy he stops and deals 70/140/210/280/350 +50% of his magical power as damage. If the enemy is a minion, he throws them, and the flying minion deals 90/160/230/300/370 + 60% of his magical power as damage to each enemy it passes through.

Cost: 60/65/70/75/80 mana.
Cooldown: 15 seconds.

Groggy Strike[]

Kumbhakarna rears back for a heavy smash that roots enemies for 1.5s and deals 50/90/130/170/210 +50% of his magical power as damage.

Cost: 50/55/60/65/70 mana.
Cooldown: 10 seconds.

Mighty Yawn[]

Kumbhakarna lets out a mighty yawn that mezes all enemies in range for 1.5/2/2.5/3/3.5s. If awakened early from mez, enemies are slowed 40% for 1/1.25/1.5/1.75/2s. Kumbhakarna may use this ability while asleep.

Cost: 70/75/80/85/90 mana.
Cooldown: 15 seconds.

Epic Uppercut[]

Kumbhakarna moves forward a short distance, stopping at the first enemy god he encounters, and delivers a massive melee swing that knocks the enemy directly up into the air for 2.2s. When the enemy god lands, it deals 300/400/500/600/700 +50% of his magical power as AOE damage to itself and Kumbhakarna’s foes, and causes Knockback.

Cost: 100 mana.
Cooldown: 60 seconds.

Very Important Technical Note[]

In order to enable future functionality, Smite has been upgraded to a new version of the Unreal Engine 3 platform. This does not impact significant functionality now, but will enable a variety of improved functionality and game performance in the future. This has a few notable impacts for this patch that all users should be prepared for:

When you first launch the patch, you will be required to install new pre-requisite files. If prompted, you must say “Yes” to the dialogue asking to run in Administrator mode, as well as wait for the pre-requisite files to complete installing.
The download size for this patch will be larger than normal.
Your Video Settings and some additional configuration specific to your PC will be set back to defaults. You will need to reconfigure these settings to your preference.
