The Third Lotus Prince rises again on Tuesday, Feb. 10, bringing one of SMITE’s most iconic gods into a bold new era.
Ne Zha returns to SMITE 2 with a fully rebuilt model, an all-new voice pack, meaningful kit updates, and a new gameplay identity built around speed, momentum, and high-impact critical strikes. Generate Righteous Spirit through constant pressure, chain together precise combos, and turn every fight into a test of execution. On February 13, his Aspect of the Righteous Flame goes live, offering a powerful alternate playstyle that transforms Ne Zha into a sustain-focused brawler who empowers allies and punishes overextensions.
Ne Zha Kit Highlights
-
Righteous Spirit (Passive)
Build stacks by staying in combat to gain Movement Speed. +1: Gaining a stack permanently increases Critical Strike Damage. This can theoretically scale infinitely. -
Universe Ring Toss (Ability 1)
Throw a bouncing ring that damages enemies, applies Physical Protection reduction, and Slows. +1: You can catch the returning ring for an additional throw that doesn't bounce, but does crit. -
Flaming Spear (Ability 2)
Ignite your spear to gain Attack Speed and Critical Strike Chance while healing based on Righteous Spirit stacks. -
Armillary Sash (Ability 3)
Stun and pull yourself to the first enemy god hit, setting up high-damage combos and ult confirms.
+1: This ability can now Crit. -
Wind Fire Wheels (Ultimate)
Become CC immune and launch an enemy god into the air, executing a multi-hit combo with delayed damage. Perfect timing allows these hits to critically strike.
+1: New visual presentation to make the QTE clearer.
Aspect of the Righteous Flame
Releasing February 13
-
Righteous Spirit reworked
No longer builds from attacking. Instead, taking damage charges Righteous Spirit, granting a Heal over Time. -
Universe Ring Toss gains support utility
Ring Toss can now bounce to allies (including yourself), granting Movement Speed and Attack Speed buffs. -
Flaming Spear Now Bonks
Becomes a damaging area attack that buffs Ne Zha’s basic attacks and consumes Righteous Spirit for a burst heal.
By overwhelming community demand, Anti-Heal is back. Core items like Divine Ruin, Brawler’s Beat Stick, and Stygian Anchor have been reworked to make countering sustain clearer, more reliable, and more impactful across all roles.
Keep in mind: the new Anti-Heal is capped at 25%. It does not stack with other item Anti-Heal, or with the Anti-Heal that some Gods have built-in to their kit.
Jungle Practice has evolved into a shared playground. You can now launch Practice with friends and bots directly from Custom Lobbies. Experiment freely with builds, swap items anywhere on the map, control bot behavior, cycle objectives and camps, and test interactions without restrictions. Whether you’re theorycrafting, learning a god, or warming up with friends, Practice is now a true multiplayer tool.
This weekend, celebrate Valentine’s Day the SMITE 2 way with a limited-time event full of rivalry and rewards:
-

-
Play more games alone to claim the Forever Alone badge.
To sweeten the deal, 2x Worshipers will be live for everyone this weekend, and the Heartseeker Athena skin arrives just in time to break hearts and shields alike.
Two new Wandering Market Travelers (Oblivion Queen Discordia and Devil Punk Da Ji) also arrive as part of the ongoing Reign of the Archfiend, bringing fresh cosmetics, Wyrm Seals, and new progression toward event rewards.
Whether you’re here to master a reborn god, test builds with friends, or prove your worth this Valentine’s weekend, the Battleground is ready.
