IT'S TIME... FOR CHRONOS! — SMITE 2 News

New Classic God: Chronos

Passive: Time Lord
- You become empowered as time flows around you. Over time you gain Intelligence. Stacks have a maximum and are permanent.

[p align="start"]

Ability 1: Time Rift
- Create a rift in time that deals magical damage to all enemies in the area. Hitting a god permanently increases the Time Rift damage by 1.

[p align="start"]

Ability 2: Accelerate
- Accelerate yourself for a duration. You gain Movement Speed (initial plus increasing over time) and increased Attack Speed. While Accelerate is active, the Wheel of Time stops; the quadrant it stopped on determines which bonus you receive:
  - Section 1: Heal based on your max health over time
  - Section 2: Abilities cost no Mana
  - Section 3: Increased Intelligence
  - Section 4: Increased Intelligence contribution to your attacks.

[p align="start"]

Ability 3: Stop Time
- Fire spinning gears of time forward. Enemies hit have their Attack Speed reduced, ramping into a Stun. They Take Magical Damage on impact and Magical Damage when Stunned.

[p align="start"]

Ultimate Ability: Teleport through time to a recent position, restoring your Health and mana to their earlier values. All your cooldowns reset instantly.
- You become CC immune while Rewin prepares
- The Heal is not affected by Healing Reduction

[p align="start"]

Aspect of Relativity releasing July 2nd
- Time Lord no longer grants Intelligence but instead creates a persistent Time Field around you. Allies in your Time Field gain bonuses when you use your other abilities.
