Editing Gameplay Elements

There are many different '''Gameplay Elements''' in [[SMITE]]. This is a list with several ones worth mentioning.

== [[Attack and Defense]] ==
There are three types of damage: Physical, Magical, and True damage. [[Gods]] are classified as being either magical or physical, with their abilities and basic attacks scaling out of that power.<br>A god's magical and physical protection values will reduce the amount of damage the corresponding types of damage apply.<br>A target's protection values can be reduced by penetration and reduction [[items]].

== [[Statistics]] ==
Statistics are the values that indicate the strength, resistance, mobility, utility, etc. of all playable gods. These statistics are grouped up in 3 main categories: Offensive, Defensive and Utility. Offensive stats are those that are related to the damage output of a god, while Defensive stats are those related to the mitigation of the damage they take. Utility stats are those that provide benefits that are not necessarily linked to offense or defense.

== [[Class Bonuses]] == 
In Year 10 of smite, Class bonuses were added with each adding a new variety to the classes. Class Bonuses consist of Warriors gaining cooldown, Assassins gaining physical penetration, Mages gaining  magical power, Guardians gaining crowd control reduction and Hunters gaining additional increased damage scaling on their basic attacks. This feature was removed in Year 11.
