The latest update is the 10.13 patch, which introduces a new god, Bake Kujira, the Ghost Whale, as well as balance changes, bug fixes, and more. In this article, we’ll go over the main highlights of the 10.13 patch notes, and see what’s new and exciting in Smite.
Smite 10.13 Patch Notes
New God: Bake Kujira, The Ghost Whale
The main attraction of the 10.13 patch is the new god, Bake Kujira, the Ghost Whale. Bake Kujira is a Japanese god of the sea, who was once a living whale that was hunted and killed by humans.
He returned as a vengeful spirit, haunting the seas and the shores with his ghostly presence. He can summon spectral whales, create tsunamis, and curse his enemies with his eerie song.
Bake Kujira is a mage who can play as a mid-laner or a solo laner. He has high damage and crowd control, but low mobility and survivability. His passive is Ghostly Current, which allows him to move through walls and enemies and grants him bonus movement speed and damage reduction.
His first ability is Spectral Splash, which is a line attack that damages and slows enemies, and applies a stack of Curse. His second ability is Haunting Song, which is a cone attack that damages and fears enemies and consumes all stacks of Curse to deal additional damage.
His third ability is Phantom Flow, which is a dash that damages and knocks up enemies, and grants him a shield. His ultimate is Tsunami, which is a global attack that summons a massive wave that travels across the map, damaging and stunning enemies, and knocking them back.
Bake Kujira is a unique and powerful god, who can dominate the battlefield with his ghostly abilities. He can also synergize well with other gods who can benefit from his crowd control and damage.
However, he is also vulnerable to gods who can chase him down, burst him down, or cleanse his Curse. He is a god that requires skill and strategy to play effectively.
