Smite skill screenshot


Smite is a melee attack skill where the user strikes an enemy or location. Every hit creates a circle as secondary effect that damages all enemies inside its area with damage (not only lightning damage but all sorts of damage) and grants a temporary aura that grants added lightning damage and shock chance.

Skill functions and interactions[ | ]

  • The lightning damage area of effect caused by this skill does not count as a melee hit for purposes of effects like Fortify.
  • Ancestral Call Support causes this skill to create multiple AoEs if there are multiple enemies in range.
  • Hits while using Ancestral Call Support or any other form of Strike Skills target an additional nearby Enemy allow for both the melee hit portion of the skill to hit as well as the area damage to hit, area damage dealing 30-20% less damage effectively dealing 170%-180% damage if positioned correctly.
