Send forth a crescent of holy light to damage foes.

Version history

Version Date Change What changed
v1350 Oct 14, 2026 Updated Smite has more base range and deals more damage to players, while its STR range bonus was halved. Against players, the blade's hits now match what you see, so jumping over it dodges.
View full breakdown
  • Base range: 25 → 35.
  • Damage against players: 50% → 60% of normal damage.
  • STR range bonus: +10 per 30 STR (up to +50 at 150 STR) → +5 per 30 STR (up to +25 at 150 STR).
  • Zealot's Smite skull damage: 1x → 1.15x.
  • Against players, the flat blade no longer hits targets who jump over it, and hits near the crescent's tips land slightly later as the blade reaches them. Monster hits are unchanged.
