The Items, Spells, and Minions use new Relics obtainable through the Season Dungeons to evolve.
You too can be just as fancy and comfortable as the Trarg of Trarg!
We’ve added a brand new Tasks Menu to the game, that you can find with the help of good buddy Gong!
We’ve added this because we wanted a central location for:
This is where you can see the tasks and goals you could work to achieve in the day all in one place!
Added tab to view all the passes, and progress toward your next rewards… You guessed it- All in one place!
Another one of the things we’ve gathered into the Task Menu is a new Advent Calendar! We’ve sort of informally run these before, but with multiple elements in multiple different places.
Now for special events, you can find all of the activities… Once, again… In one place!
Each Advent Calendar can have the following:
- Flash Offers associated with the event
- Giveaways!
- Special Event Tasks
The time has come for our first major update to PVP!
We had two particular goals with this update:
- Make leaderboards more competitive rather than clustered
- Get people more appropriate opponents when matchmaking
In Tourneys, you now have the ability to choose from 3 opponents before entering into battle!
These opponents are chosen from three different criteria:
- Level
- Current Tourney Points
- Gear score
Your Gear Score is based on the highest Gear Score that can be made from the items you own which adhere to the Tourney’s restrictions, not your currently equipped Gear Score.
The UI for Versus has been updated to reflect the above changes.
- 3D character previews have replaced the 2D portraits in the pre battle screen.
- A direct link to the Honor shop has been included in the Versus screen.
- The Join Tourney screen has been given a refresh.
- You can also now view the rewards and Leaderboards from a Tourney before joining.
- Opponents will now be worth a set number of points, based on their perceived strength, rather than every opponent giving the same number of points.
- The base score has been changed from 1000 to 700, and further increases to the base score are made based on the strength of the opponent
- The strength of the opponent is determined by their stats
- Both the Tier Rewards for Tourneys, as well as the Leaderboard rewards have been updated. Rewards will now increase as the Player climbs Leagues in each Tourney.
- Generally this will be an increase to all rewards, except for:
- First place in the Open Tourney Leagues
- Places 2 & 3 in the Bronze League which has seen a slight reduction
We recommend updating your version before participating in Tourneys in order to receive the updated rewards and experience.
- Tourney rotations will reset with the beginning of Season 2.2.
- The Elite Tourney weapon group pool has been expanded to include two more groups of weapons:
- Daggers, Crossbow, and Bows
- Falchions, Two-Bladed Swords, and Staffs
Open Tourneys
Restricted Tourneys
Elite Tourneys
To add more variety to Adventures, we’ve now added support for Blocked Nodes! These are nodes that will be blocked unless a requirement is met. e.g:
- Hero class
- Adventure difficulty
- The Adventure shop can now be accessed through a button in the top right of the Adventure Map.
- The shop is now split into:
- The Energy tab for Energy-related items
- The Powerups tab, for crystals and potions etc
- We’ve added Auto-Advance into the Conversation Menu, which will automatically move onto the next Conversation item without the need to interact with the game
- You will still need to make your choice when provided with an option
- Enabling Auto-Advance will still allow you to interact with the Conversations as per normal, so feel free to mix and match how to interact with Conversations!
- This can be toggled on from the Top Right of the Conversation menu
- Final attack damage in a battle shows for longer before fading out
- Added button to access the kingdom leaderboard to the title bar in the kingdom menu
- Added wallet button back onto the header in the shop menu
- Added possible minion and crystal rewards to Dungeon reward menu
- Collecting and Crafting from followers will now generally use the smaller wallet popup, if a minion, item, spell or extra inventory slots are gained, then it will use the full screen reward menu
- Added confirmation popup before spending gems on follower crafting
- Added scroll bar and a larger gradient mask to the Chest Slots to make it clearer that the area can be scrolled if not all slots are visible.
- Improved readability on the bonus key and duration text when sending minions to open chests
- Item tooltips now auto-scroll when the text exceeds the size, rather than shrinking the text
- Fixed issue with Autoplay causing endless-casts when no matches are available
- Tourney Trophy bonuses are now correct
- Fixed issue where player dying during long Gem Cascade causes soft lock
- Fixed issue where Arachnophobia prompt fails to display the first time a spider is encountered
- Fixed issue where Plague Priest’s Aura of Antharg healed more than intended
- Fixed issue where Basilisk’s Poisonous Hide updated so that the first of the 2 turn duration is not immediately consumed
- Eldritch Wrap Fixed: Correctly applies Doom to enemy instead of self, and correctly only applies to physical damage
- Fixed issue where the game doesn’t automatically assign a new main hero when the current main hero is deleted
- Rarity color is no longer missing from certain spell descriptions
- Fixed issue where the player’s selected Hero character appears over the enemy character in the enemy’s information window when the user selects the ‘?’ Option.

- Fixed issue where VIP rewards could not be collected if you used the badge in the system bar
- Gold total in gear/spell upgrade pop-up does not update, preventing upgrade if player collects mail while in the gear screen
- Can be resolved by exiting and re-entering the screen
