Vulcan joins the SMITE ranks as God number 29

The latest God to pop up in SMITE, Hi-Rez Studios’ MOBA title, is Vulcan. He doesn’t have a nerve pinch ability (that’s the other type of Vulcan,) but he does bring with him the power of volcanoes. Let’s face it, that’s going to be handy in a tussle.

Here’s his power list, in full (with details courtesy of Hi-Rez .. it’s not like I just know this stuff):

Passive (FORGE): Vulcan transfers 30% of his protections and 15% of his health to his turrets. In addition, when Vulcan is within 30ft of his own deployables they regen 3% of their health every second because of their proximity to the Forge.

BACKFIRE: Vulcan blasts a fireball out of his Forge, dealing 85/145/205/265/325 (+70% of your magical power) magical damage to all enemies in its path. The strength of the blast also knocks Vulcan 20ft back. Cost – 65/70/75/80/85 mana. Cooldown – 15s.

INFERNO CANNON: Vulcan constructs an Inferno Cannon that shoots fireballs in a cone that deal 65/100/135/170/205 (+20% of your magical power) magical damage to the target every second. The Inferno Cannon lasts until destroyed or another is placed. This inherits Vulcan’s penetrations but does not apply on-hit effects. Cost – 65/70/75/80/85 Mana. Cooldown – 15s.

THUMPER XVI: Vulcan constructs a Thumper XVI that deals 15/20/25/30/35 (+10% of your magical power) magical damage every second and slows enemies hit by 5/10/15/20/25%, increasing with Focus up to 35%, for 2s. The Thumper XVI lasts until destroyed or another is placed. This inherits Vulcan’s penetrations but does not apply on-hit effects. Cost – 70/75/80/85/90 Mana. Cooldown – 15s.

VOLCANIC OVERDRIVE: When Volcanic Overdrive is activated, Vulcan gains 15/20/25/30/35% movement speed and 10/20/30/40/50 protections. All of Vulcan’s structures fire 50% faster and gain massive regeneration. The Inferno Cannon also fires in a 360 radius and auto targets gods while under the effects of Volcanic Overdrive. Cost – 100 mana. Cooldown – 90s.
