Awilix, the Goddess of the Moon, has made her grand entrance into SMITE 2, bringing with her a fresh look and some pretty exciting skills. This beloved character, paired with her loyal panther Suku, offers a mix of strategy and flair to shake up the battleground.
Awilix has undergone quite the transformation in SMITE 2. Her new visual design is stunning, with intricate tattoos that echo jaguar spots and a color palette that beautifully captures her connection to the night sky. It’s almost as if she’s stepped out of a dream, ready to command both attention and respect from her opponents.
Now, let’s talk about what makes Awilix tick. Her Passive–Initiative, for instance, is an interesting twist: if you’ve been untouched for five seconds, you gain a significant boost in Basic Attack power when you strike first. It’s a clever way to encourage players to be strategic about their positioning and engagement timing, especially when paired with her leap ability from Summon Suku.
The first ability sets the tone, Summon Suku. Mounting your panther increases movement speed while sacrificing some agility in strafe movements. It allows players not just to traverse the map quicker but also leads into some high-damage opportunities by leaping off Suku. Something is thrilling about barreling into an enemy while riding a majestic panther!
Next up is Feather Step. This one feels almost like a dance move, flipping over enemies while rooting them and dealing damage. I love how it rewards skilled timing; hitting your next attack just right can ramp up damage significantly. Plus, if you time it, will your third hit land after using this ability? You get area damage, which can turn the tide in team fights.
Awakened by Moonlight herself, we can’t forget Moonlight Charge. When Suku rushes into battle by Awilix’s side, it feels empowering and exhilarating. It’s like calling in backup at just the right moment. And that extra knock-up effect when attacking from behind? It is such a delight for those who enjoy creative positioning during skirmishes!
Last but certainly not least is her ultimate: Gravity Surge. Pulling an enemy god knocked up or leaping adds another layer of tactical depth; they’re stunned upon landing, while Awilix enjoys enhanced stats. It’s a powerful way to shift momentum during crucial moments in battle.
A glimpse at this Lunar Huntress shows that Awilix promises more than just aesthetic appeal. She brings refined agility and lethal strikes that should keep veteran players on their toes and offer new avenues for less experienced gamers to find joy in combat.
- Passive – Initiative: If you have not taken or dealt damage in the last 5 seconds, gain 30% increased Basic Attack power and Strength for 4 seconds if you strike an enemy first. The buff is extended by 2 seconds if triggered by the leap from Summon Suku.
- Ability 1 – Summon Suku: Mount your Panther Suku, gaining movement speed but decreased strafe speed. You may Leap off Suku to deal Physical Damage in the target area.
- Ability 2 – Feather Step: Flip over the last enemy you hit within 1.5 seconds, Rooting, Crippling, and dealing Physical Damage. The damage increases by 50% based on the next attack in her Basic Attack progression. If the next attack is her third, she also hits all enemies in the area around the target.
- Ability 3 – Moonlight Charge: Suku comes to Awilix’s aid, rushing forward and dealing Physical Damage to all enemies. If hit from the side or behind, enemies are also Knocked Up. This ability can be used while riding Suku.
- Ultimate – Gravity Surge: Pulls the closest enemy god, Knocked Up or Leaping. The target god takes Physical Damage and Stunned when they land. You are then bathed in moonlight, gaining bonus Attack Speed, Attack Power, Strength and protection against Roots, Slows, and Knockbacks for 6 seconds.
