Ao Kuang was a popular god in his original incarnation in Smite. A while back, HiRez removed him and replaced him with Kukulkan, giving the new serpent god Ao’s old move-set. However, Ao Kuang is back and better than ever. Playable right now on the Smite Public Test Servers, his kit and appearance have recieved a complete overhaul. Lets take a look at the changes.
Ao Kuang: Dragon-God of the Sea
Passive
Ao Kuang’s sword can hold up to 3 Energy Charges, and regenerates charges while out of combat. Each time Ao Kuang casts an ability, an energy charge will be consumed if available, increasing the damage of the ability. If Ao Kuang is out of mana, he will use Energy Charges to cast abilities instead.
Charge Damage Increase: 5%
Charge Regneration: 5s
1st Ability: Water Illusion
Ao Kuang teleports forward into stealth, leaving behind a watery form of himself. He remains in stealth for 5s or until he attacks or takes damage. Ao Kuang may activate this ability again to detonate the watery form, dealing damage to nearby enemies.
Damage: 90/140/190/240/290 (+70% of your magical power)
Radius: 20
Cost: 70 mana
Range: 30
Cooldown: 15 seconds
2nd Ability: Dragon Call
Ao Kuang summons 6 dragons to his side. For every successful basic attack Ao Kuang makes, a dragon will dive to the target dealing additional damage. This ability ends after all dragons are used, or after 10s. Ao Kuang may activate this ability again to send forward any remaining dragons in a ranged attack. The dragons damage and slow the first enemy they hit.
Attack Damage: 40/60/80/100/120 (+30% of your magical power)
Ranged Damage: 20/30/40/50/60 (+15% of your magical power) per remaining Dragon
Slow: 30%, for 1s +0.25s per remaining Dragon
Range: 55
Cost: 60/65/70/75/80 mana
Cooldown: 15/14/13/12/11 seconds
3rd Ability: Wild Storm
Ao Kuang unleashes a storm of lightning from his sword, damaging all enemies in front of him. This hit is considered a basic attack, and will activate item effects.
Damage: 90/140/190/240/290 (+50% of your magical power)
Range: 30
Cooldown: 5 seconds
Cost: 60/65/70/75/80 mana
Ultimate: King of the Eastern Seas
Ao Kuang selects a single target in melee range and grabs them, dealing damage and knocking them up into the air. If the target is under a health threshold, Ao Kuang will instead reveal his true form, becoming a Dragon and executing them. After transforming Ao Kuang remains in the air, and may then pick a new location to land, dealing damage to enemies within range 20, and fully recharging his Sword.
Damage: 90/140/190/240/290 (+50% of your magical power)
Execute Threshold: 23/26/29/32/35%
Landing Damage: 100/150/200/250/300 (+50% of your magical power)
Landing Range: 200
Cooldown: 90 seconds
Cost: 90/100/110/120/130 mana
