Smite Update 8.2 Brings Tiamat and New God Skins for Mulan, Vamana, Samedi, and More

All Hi-Rez Studios titles have been getting huge updates over the last few days. With Rogue Company receiving Kestrel and Paladins getting Yagorath as new playable characters, now it’s time for Smite players to get their hands on Tiamat, Goddess of the Salt Sea. The Smite Tiamat update brings several new skins and some quality-of-life improvements as well.

Hopping into details of the new character, Tiamat was the first goddess to stop the chaos of the betraying gods by spawning monsters to fight them. Described as a mother, Tiamat has two different stances: The Flying stance and the Ground stance. When flying, you will have more options for long-range damage-dealing and self-heal. On the other hand, when you are in the Ground stance, you can perform high-damage attacks and focus on your close-ranged skills.

Tiamat will have 12 distinct abilities, which make her a strong and capable character in Smite. From healing abilities like Death Begets Life to aggressive and destructive skills like Consume and Ruination, it’s your choice how to play with Tiamat. Here you can check out the abilities of the new character with more details:

Death Begets Life
