During the SWC (Smite World Championship) stream, a couple of new items and item changes have been revealed, alongside the new Conquest map for Season 10. Hi-Rez has shown some truly game-changing items in a show game that took place during their stream, and we see how these items might significantly shape the meta for SMITE Season 10.
Prima Games delivers some cool screenshots and we’ll discuss the items a bit.
New Items and Item Changes in SMITE Season 10 in 2023 Showcase
There are quite a few interesting changes so we hope you’ll enjoy this read. Make sure to share the article with your game buddies so that you can prepare better for the upcoming season 10.
New ASI in SMITE Season 10
Old ASI has +25 Physical Power, +15% Physical Lifesteal, +25% Attack Speed, and +15 Physical Penetration, and triggers at 35% Health.
New ASI has twice as much power, +5% Physical Lifesteal, but 5% less Attack Speed, but it procs at 50% Health.
I feel this is a huge improvement, as that proc margin will allow the Asi bearer to live longer in fights and have much less chances to be bursted down.
New Stone of Binding in SMITE Season 10
This item is now purely a defensive item that will be accessible by everyone (since it no longer has Magical Power on it).
Looks cool as a support item, that will help assist the tanks in bringing down enemy Gods.
New Prophetic Cloak in SMITE Season 10
A new item is upon us! Hard tank item that has an evolution. Kind of aligns well with Pridwen if you ask me.
New Demon Blade in SMITE Season 10
The community predicts that the Demon Blade might be melee-only. It’s kind of an OK item. We’ll see.
New Archdruid’s Fury in SMITE Season 10
Hi-Rez apparently wants to provide tanks with more significant roles in the future based on the few items that we’ve seen so far. Also, this might be a good item for a Hunter / Assassin since it provides some protection and a significant burst. Let’s do the math.
If you have 1000 HP, you need to take 50 damage for the stack to be generated. If you have 1500 HP, 75 damage. If you have 2000 HP, 100 damage. Sounds fairly easy. Especially when you get ganked up by multiple enemy Gods.
Is Archdruid’s Fury Broken?
Let’s see how the damage fares, depending on God Level and Amount of Stacks on the item.
| God Level | Amount of Stacks | Damage from the Item |
| 1 | 0 / 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 | 32 / 64 / 96 / 128 / 160 / 192 |
| 2 | 0 / 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 | 34 / 68 / 102 / 136 / 170 / 204 |
| 3 | 0 / 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 | 36 / 72 / 108 / 144 / 180 / 216 |
| 4 | 0 / 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 | 38 / 76 / 114 / 152 / 190 / 228 |
| 5 | 0 / 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 | 40 / 80 / 120 / 160 / 200 / 240 |
| 6 | 0 / 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 | 42 / 84 / 126 / 168 / 210 / 252 |
| 7 | 0 / 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 | 44 / 88 / 132 / 176 / 220 / 264 |
| 8 | 0 / 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 | 46 / 92 / 138 / 184 / 230 / 276 |
| 9 | 0 / 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 | 48 / 96 / 144 / 192 / 240 / 288 |

| 10 | 0 / 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 | 50 / 100 / 150 / 200 / 250 / 300 |
| 11 | 0 / 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 | 52 / 104 / 156 / 208 / 260 / 312 |
| 12 | 0 / 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 | 54 / 108 / 162 / 216 / 270 / 324 |
| 13 | 0 / 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 | 56 / 112 / 168 / 224 / 280 / 336 |
| 14 | 0 / 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 | 58 / 116 / 174 / 232 / 290 / 348 |
| 15 | 0 / 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 | 60 / 120 / 180 / 240 / 300 / 360 |
| 16 | 0 / 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 | 62 / 124 / 186 / 248 / 310 / 372 |
| 17 | 0 / 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 | 64 / 128 / 192 / 256 / 320 / 384 |
| 18 | 0 / 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 | 66 / 132 / 198 / 264 / 330 / 396 |
| 19 | 0 / 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 | 68 / 136 / 204 / 272 / 340 / 408 |
| 20 | 0 / 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 | 70 / 140 / 210 / 280 / 350 / 420 |
Why wouldn’t a Hunter / Assassin / Basic-Attack-Based-God-That’s-Not-In-These-Categories NOT want this item? It can do 420 True Damage twice in a fight if you survive. I feel this will be nerfed fast. Yes, it’s broken if you ask me. Nobody stops you to build it on a mage with Polynomicon. It is going to hurt like old Soul Reaver, or worse.
New Breastplate of Regrowth SMITE Season 10
Is this a replacement for Shield of Regrowth? Or some combination of old Breastplate and Shield of Regrowth? Yet to be seen. Looks good on Hercules.
New Shadowdrinker in SMITE Season 10
If you wanted to be Loki without playing Loki, this item will sate these twisted aspirations. I predict this will be a crazy jungler item for a hit-and-run strategy. Three seconds ain’t much, but it’s enough to maneuver to your next target, or away to safety.
New Tablet of Destinies SMITE Season 10
Great item to have with the Book of Thoth, they go hand in hand really. 0.08% with 50 stacks equals 4%.
Watch out for Kukulkan builds when this item comes out.
| Max Mana | Bonus True Damage |
| 500 | 20 |
| 1000 | 40 |
| 2000 | 80 |
| 3000 | 120 |
Is Tablet of Destinies Broken?
It requires you to build your God specifically for this item. It’s a powerful item but I do not think it’s outright busted. In the right hands, it will definitely seem like it needs a nerf.

New Winged Blade SMITE Season 10
Lastly, we have the Winged Blade update. It will provide you:
- -5 Magical Protection compared to the old one
- The effect now works for all nearby allies (within 30 units) and not just yourself
We can expect Winged Blade to become a mainstream meta item effective immediately, no doubt. We’ll see how team fights will span out with this in the game. What do you think? Let us know on Twitter and Facebook.
