Baba Yaga is one of the playable Gods in SMITE.

Lore

It is an old story. Perhaps the oldest story there is. In the dark woods, there is a witch called Baba Yaga. Sometimes she is a mother. Sometimes she is a daughter. Sometimes she is cruel and sometimes, kind. But always, Baba Yaga is cunning. And there is always a price to pay for dealing with her, if you are brave enough – or desperate enough – to seek her out.

It is said that Baba Yaga waits for travellers in her house atop its gnarled chicken legs, behind a fence made of human bones. If you are brave enough to pass through the fence and enter the house you will see her stretched out across the interior, looming over her stove, or reaching out from one corner to another. Or, if you are in the woods late at night, you might see her flying overhead in her mortar and pestle and the hear the thunderous tramp of the chicken-legged house as it pursues its mistress.

Regardless, she is an ugly creature with a long nose and cruel, iron teeth, and her eyes gleam with malice. But despite her inherent malevolence, she does not interfere with others without first being approached – or provoked. If you are foolish enough to seek her, she might well punish you for your effrontery before aiding you, or aid you and then tear you to pieces because it amuses her to do so. And sometimes, very rarely, she helps without harm.

But only when it suits her to do so.

Now, as the world shudders on its axis and new horrors rise, Baba Yaga stirs in her long isolation. The gods have ignored her warnings for long enough, and if they will not ask for her help willingly, she will find a way to force them to do so...

Abilities

Passive - Creeping Cabin Baba Yaga's Cabin accumulates up to 100 essence over time, when it moves, and if enemy gods get too close. Baba Yaga can approach the Cabin and use this essence to gain evolving item stacks. Items with a low stack count take more energy. If Baba Yaga has no stacking item this essence heals Baba Yaga for 0.8% max health per tick. Notes:   The cabin has unit collision but projectiles can pass through it.   The cabin will prioritize healing Baba Yaga if it does not have enough essence to stack a low stack count item.   Item Stack Cost: 400 / Item Max Stacks   Heal Cost: 4   Ability Type: Passive Ability Video 1st Ability - Wild Witchcraft Baba Yaga throws forward magic imbued with chaotic qualities.

The fields can boost friendly Protections, boost friendly Movement Speed, lower enemy Movement Speed, or Silence enemies. Notes:   The passive meter reveals what shape and effect the next cast will have.   The oval pattern always travels in a counter-clockwise direction.   Damage: 100/150/200/250/300 (+70% of your Magical Power)   Protections: 15/20/25/30/35 for 1s   Movement Speed: 20/22.5/25/27.5/30% for 1s   Slow: 20/22.5/25/27.5/30% for 1s   Ability Type: Random   Width: 5   Cost: 70/75/80/85/90 mana   Cooldown: 12 seconds Ability Video 2nd Ability - Baba's Brew Baba Yaga throws together random ingredients to brew a Potion.

Trivia

General

• Baba Yaga's release was teased by an easter egg where her laugh could be heard whenever a player consumed a potion.
• Baba Yaga's chaotic spells and their side effects may be a reference to her behaviour in slavic folklore, how she helped the good (Her team) and punished the bad (The enemy team).
• The way Baba Yaga is positioned in her Mortar on her Victory screen is a reference to the famous bathtube scene in the witcher.
• According to HiRez in her first look page, Baba Yaga was one of the most requested characters in the community.
