Because the SMITE World Championships are less than a month away, there are no major balance changes. Patch 4.24: Frostfire is essentially a big cosmetics drop that will finish out this year's Odyssey event with the much-anticipated Tier 5 Ullr skin and more.The final quest line, Celtic/Greek, will be opened up for another free 3,500 Odyssey Points:Play 2 gamesGet 1 FWOTDGet 30k Player damageKill 2 towers as a teamPlay a Celtic God in 1 GamePlay a Warrior in 1 GamePlay a Guardian in 1 GameThere is also a huge drop of Odyssey content, including the community-voted Tier 5 Ullr skin that has been teased many times before finally being revealed at the patch notes show a few days ago. Frostfire Ullr also comes with level up FX, a jump stamp and a recall skin as the 98,000 Odyssey Points reward.Aside from Ullr, new Odyssey content includes:Arctic Seer ArtioKrampus CernunnosCrystal Gaze MedusaFallen Angel NikeFire and Ice HUD ThemeEmber Storm Level up FXLet it Snow Fountain FXCutesy RecallThere are also four new, exclusive skins. Tremor Trech Cabrakan and Rocket Punch Mercury will be going into chests. HRX Loki can be earned as a Twitch drop from watching the HRX in January. Empress Nu Wa is going into The Odyssey 2018 chest, although Hi-Rez does not consider the skin part of The Odyssey.There are a few last-minute balance changes before Worlds. According to Hi-Rez, they took a hard look at the mana costs on abilities and decreased the costs of abilities that didn't justify the high mana costs. You'll notice lower mana costs on Agni's Noxious Fumes, Bacchus' Chug, Sobek's Tail Whip, Hun Batz's Sacred Monkey and Isis' Spirit Ball and Dispel Magic. More significantly, the duration of Odin's ultimate, Ring of Spears, has been decreased from six to five seconds. The Stone of Gaia item, which has been dominating the meta for tanks, has received a 100-gold price increase.The patch goes live for consoles on Tuesday, December 19th.We've got the full list of SMITE achievements - check the list for guides to unlocking them.More SMITE stories: Claim your Xbox Game Pass Ultimate Perks for March 2024 Claim your Xbox Game Pass Ultimate Perks for February 2024 Free-to-play Smite 2 gets surprise announcement for Xbox Claim your Xbox Game Pass Ultimate Perks for November 2023 Slipknot ascends to god tier in Smite Game PatchVideoXbox One X EnhancedScreenshotsXbox OneID@Xbox Written by Kelly PackardIn a few descriptors: college student, longtime gamer, writer and junk food enthusiast.
