The Blacksmith Is Now Open!

Greetings, Castle Lords!

Thank you so much for supporting Legend of Defenders and for sharing your feedback and suggestions with us!

In the latest Playtest, we’ve added the long-awaited Blacksmith system! You can now enhance and enchant your equipment, as well as reforge its substats, giving you even more ways to strengthen your heroes and defenses.

We attach great importance to your gaming experience, and we will continue to closely monitor, actively respond to, and optimize based on your feedback. If you have any suggestions or encounter any issues during gameplay, feel free to join our official Discord to chat with us:

Here are the specific updates in this patch:

  • Added the Blacksmith feature — you can now enhance, enchant, and reforge your favorite equipment at the Blacksmith. (Note: The stats system for all equipment has been updated this time; some over-tuned equipment has been significantly nerfed, and old equipment will automatically update to the new stat values when enchanted.)

  • Added an acquisition path for Epic equipment: defeating the Red Dragon Boss in the Rift has a very low chance to drop Epic equipment. (Note: The Red Dragon Boss only drops Epic equipment temporarily in the Playtest; in the demo version, only the newly added bosses will drop Epic equipment.)

  • Made major balance adjustments to all heroes' base attack, basic attack multiplier, skill multiplier, and MP cost.

  • Adjusted the Mine's drop logic — Diamonds are now obtained primarily through Mining.

  • When the Main Stages progress to stage 1000, 2000, 3000…, you will encounter Monster Boosts, and the difficulty rises accordingly.

  • During Rift invasions, boss strength grows with each successful challenge. (Note: The Red Dragon's Combat Power growth is currently a temporary setting and will be changed to no longer grow in the demo version.)

  • Slightly increased the number of Shards required to Star Up heroes.

  • Added a new Treasure and made balance adjustments to Treasure prices.

  • Added several convenience improvements, including but not limited to:

    • Auto-Dismantle settings for the Rift;

    • A toggle to release hero skills during Auto-Battle;

    • A new Filter window on the hero equipment screen;

    • A new option to skip the Draw;

    • Support for closing the Draw result screen with the Spacebar;

    • A new "Hold Alt" hint on the skill tooltip

Thank you again for playing! Add the game to your Wishlist now and stay tuned for future updates!
