A new hero joins SMITE today: Nike, Goddess of Victory. Here's a look at her abilities:

Passive – To Victory!

Nike sets three goals that the team can achieve to gain increased strength. Upon completing a goal, Nike’s team gains a Laurel that increases Power (+8/10/12%) and Movement Speed (+3/5/7%). This Laurel can increase up to 3 times.

Goal 1: Elimitate 10 gods as a team

Goal 2: Eliminate 200 Minions as a team

Goal 3: At least two allies are level 20

Rend

Nike slams the ground twice, sending out fissures that deal damage (50/85/120/155/190 +50% Physical Power). If a target is hit twice, that target loses protections (4/8/12/16/20) for 5 seconds. If Nike’s ‘Plan of Action’ is active, Rend gains an additional attack. If a target is hit three times, that target is disarmed. Cost: 60/65/70/75/80. Cooldown: 12s

Plan of Action

Nike draws upon her vast battle experience to plan her next move. Passive: Nike gains (10/15/20/25/30) HP5. Active: Nike’s next ability gains bonus damage (20/30/40/50/60) and a special effect. Cost: 30/35/40/45/50. Cooldown: 18/17/16/15/14s.

Valiant Leap

Nike leaps into the air then crashes down at a location dealing damage (65/115/165/215/265 + 60% Physical Power) and knocking up enemies. If Nike’s ‘Plan of Action’ is active, she travels to the location much faster. Cost: 55/60/65/70/75. Cooldown: 18s

Sentinel of Zeus

Nike transforms into an armored sentinel and sends out a shockwave that damages (100/165/230/295/360 +80% Physical Power) and slows (30%) enemies around her. While in this form, she gains 40% of her max health as a shield. If Nike’s ‘Plan of Action’ is active, Nike instead gains 60% of her max health as a shield and applies a 60% slow. Cost: 90/95/100/105/110. Cooldown: 100s.
