* From 60-100% (Smashed) He
gains 30 magical power (That’s
20 more from being Tipsy) and
takes 14% less damage overall
(7% more than being Tipsy), plus
any protections gained briefly
from using Chug. Whilst his Belly
Flop and Belch of the Gods still
have the same added bonus,
Intoxicate will now grant him a
magical power bonus ranging
from 20-60.
This passive isn’t something you
can buy from the store and is one
of the most synergised passives
with his kit as a whole. You can
become Smashed and take 14%
less damage, have 30 magical
power, receive bonuses on all
skills, have up to 35 extra Physical
AND Magical protections briefly

and FINALLY give yourself a brief
Magical power bonus going up to
60, a 90 Magical power potential
just from skills Bacchus has for
himself.
So with his kit looked over, how
do I feel that actually comes out
in a game of SMITE?
6 seconds of extra protections
you ideally want the bulk of
damage going on in that time.
Whilst you’re not the direct focus
when it comes to fights, you can
certainly give yourself a helping
hand should you find a few
enemies glued to your stomach.
Intoxicate allows that team fight
changer; both crowd controlling
the enemy in the most unique
way whilst giving yourself a
helping hand in direct damage
and bonus Magical damage to
then deal with the situation.
With a smidgen over 100 games
as Bacchus, I can honestly say he
is my favourite God in the game to
date having played for 9 months.
He feels like the tankiest God in
the game as what might kill you Belly Flop has given me countless
in 3 shots barely takes enough smiles when I eng age on an
off your health bar to notice.
enemy or enemies and they all
go up and my team just jumps
Bacchus thrives on tanking in at that chance for a free kill or
burst with his Chug; giving him two because being knocked up
still allows you to be targeted by
most damage and most forms
of crowd control. It’s also the
life saver your ally needs when
they’re being chased down in the
Jungle or under tower because
they gain more distance, easily
making the opponent either a
failed chaser or even the new
victim. The best Belly Flop in my
experience is when you jump
over the wall of the Fire Giant’s
lair, knockup everybody who
could use HoG (Hand of the
Gods) on the Fire Giant and you
steal it by yourself before they
have the chance to stop you.
