Hi-Rez Studios has revealed the patch notes for Smite update 3.14, the biggest component of which is the new character, Terra. Terra is a Guardian who is among the game's more complex and nuanced gods. The first of her abilities is fairly straightforward, but it's key to unlocking what her other two abilities can do. Force of Nature is a dash that deals damage to anyone she moves through. It can be used to shatter her stones (more on those in a second), which then lets her dash again within three seconds. Monolith raises a stone that heals allies near it. By dashing into it, it explodes, causing all nearby enemies to be rooted for 1.5 seconds and dealing damage for five seconds to enemies who walk near it. Crushing Earth works somewhat similarly: Activating it creates two stones on each side of your targeted location. Enemies between the two are slowed by 20 percent. After a few seconds (or whenever you activate them), the two stones slam together, dealing damage and stunning enemies--if they're right in the middle, they'll take damage from both stones. Alternatively, you can dash into either of the stones to cause it to explode, dealing damage in a cone in front of it. Further complicating all of this is her passive. As long as one of her stones from Crushing Earth or Monolith is up, she is immune to knockup (making her a real hassle for characters like Bacchus or Sobek) and slows enemies with her basic attacks. If she destroys one of the stones with her dash, these buffs last for three more seconds. Her Ultimate is also something that will require an extremely skilled player to fully leverage. Terra's Blessing buffs all of her teammates for 10 seconds no matter where they are on the map. This buff provides extra movement speed, reduces cooldowns (though this won't exceed the 40 percent max), and drops the mana cost for abilities. Additionally, if any ally takes four hits from an enemy god during the duration of Blessing, the ally will be healed. This happens no matter where Terra is, giving her a heal unlike any other character's. Equipped with an item like Lotus Crown that provides extra protections when delivering a heal, she has a lot of potential.
