ALPHARETTA, GA – Explore the fiery depths of the Underworld in SMITE 2’s Open Beta 7 Update. Headlined by the Warden of the Underworld himself—Cerberus—this patch also introduces a new Easter Event with a free skin, enchanting Tidy Tails skins from the Wandering Market Collection, Conquest-changing gameplay features, and a sweeping item power recalibration.
Cerberus: The Underworld’s New Guardian
Freshly updated for SMITE 2, Cerberus takes center stage with soul-rending damage and unparalleled healing siphons:
-
Spirit of Death (Passive): Turn enemy heals into your own advantage, stealing a portion of healed life.
-
Paralyzing Spit & Ghastly Breath: Unleash multiple heads for lethal magic attacks, stacking slows and reducing magical protections.
-
Soul Expulsion: Leap into battle, sever enemy souls, and reclaim them for healing and cooldown reduction.
-
Stygian Torment (Ultimate): Yank enemy gods into the air before crashing them down in front of you—an unholy way to lock them in for the kill.
Aspect of Souls, arriving April 11, provides a second way to play Cerberus. This Aspect enhances Cerberus’s synergy with severed souls, granting extra Ghastly Breath damage—potentially an infinitely long cast—and a devastating knock-up on his ultimate.
Wandering Market Collection: “Tidy Tails”
Venture into SMITE 2's newest collection in the Battle Pass-like Wandering Market, featuring four pages of cuteness & chaos:
-
Page 1 (Free for All): Maid of Mischief Amaterasu, kitty-themed badges, and a brand-new jump stamp.
-
Page 2: Maid to Kill Izanami, Cat Butler Ward (The first Ward Skin in SMITE 2), and diamonds galore.
-
Page 3: Butler of the Bins Danzaburou, Raccoon trackers, and spooktacular Card Effects.

Major Item Power Reset
OB7 marks the first phase of a three-patch initiative to rebalance items:
-
OB7: Lower overall item power by ~10–12% to preserve meaningful build decisions.
-
OB8: Enhance item specializations, emphasizing unique passives and effects.
-
OB9 & Beyond: Final adjustments and hotfixes to refine the new power curve.
This shift redefines bruiser durability, damage scaling, and objective control—making every choice in your build matter more than ever.
