Hydra Quick Battle
We are adding the highly-requested Quick Battle feature to the Hydra Clan Boss. This will be an option for players who want to fight the Hydra, but do not want to watch the whole battle play out in real-time. Quick Battle will be available for every Hydra difficulty, but must first be unlocked by dealing a set amount of damage using a single Hydra Key.
The amount of damage needed to unlock Quick Battle corresponds to the amount of damage needed to receive the highest value Hydra Chest on that particular difficulty.
It is possible to unlock Quick Battle for several Hydra difficulties at once. For example, if a player achieves the Quick Battle unlock conditions on Brutal, it will also unlock Quick Battle on all Hydra difficulties below Brutal.
Team presets and general Hydra battle mechanics remain the same as if the player was running the battle normally in Auto mode. Once a player has initiated a Quick Battle, they cannot interfere with the battle until it finishes.
Players can use Quick Battle a limited number of times during one weekly cycle. After the cycle is over, the number of Quick Battles resets automatically. It is possible to discard a Quick Battle result without spending a Hydra Key.
Campaign Super-Raids
The good old Super Raids are now available in the Campaign. Save time, raid the Campaign, and get double the rewards!
Fragments Exchange Lock
We’ve added a lock on the Champion Fragments Exchange feature to ensure that you can’t accidentally exchange a complete set of Champion Fragments you want to hold onto.
New Clan Levels + Clan Shop Items
As part of this update, we’re also adding 5 more Clan levels, which all come with the extra Silver for completing Campaign Stages, additional Multi-Battles, and two more slots in the Clan Shop. There are also new resources available in the Clan Shop – Rank 1-3 Basalt, Gilded Medallions, and a Gemstone Box!
QoL: Champion names in the Soul Collection
We’ve added Champion names and Faction icons to the Soul Collection window in the Altar of Souls and a few other places, so you won’t get confused about which Champion Souls you have.
QoL: Chaos Dust and Chaos Powder amount depiction
We’ve also added a visual depiction of your total Chaos Dust and Chaos Powder on the victory screens when you tap the resource icon, so it’s easier to keep track of your resources.
QoL: Total Stats Window
We changed the order of tabs in the Total Stats window in the Champion Collection, so now you can immediately see the stats of your Champion instead of having to switch a tab first.
Stage Requirement Filter
Now, when you tap on the Champions button in the Team Selection screen when taking on Doom Tower Secret Rooms and Faction Wars, you’ll be taken to the Champions window with filters already active.
Filter out Faction Guardians
We have added a new option for the Champion Filter in the Tavern and Empower Champions tab of the Guardian Ring, enabling you to hide Champions that are set as Faction Guardians.
AI Fixes
We have addressed AI bugs across a wide variety of locations in the game. Check out the full list of skills, Champions, and Bosses that have been affected in the news post titled A Smoother Game Awaits: AI Bugs Fixed.
Immunity Skills fix
Another change we’ve implemented is to make sure that when a Champion’s skill states that they are “Immune” to certain debuffs or effects, that they are truly immune to those things. If another skill states that it will place a guaranteed debuff, ignore a portion of the target’s RES, or ignore [Block Debuffs] buffs, it will still not bypass “Immunity”. You can find the affected Champions below:
- Leorius
- Roric
- Yumeko
- Hoskarul
- Ronda
- Tramaria
- Tatsu
- Krixia (both Forms)
- Acelin
- Marius
- Falmond
- Galleus (second Form)
- Aragaz
- He-Man
Campaign Boss XP Rebalance
We’ve rebalanced the amount of XP earned from Campaign Bosses when facing them on Normal, Hard, and Brutal difficulties, ensuring it’s more consistent. Now each Campaign Boss grants gradually more XP than the previous one.
New Relics
We’ve also added a new batch of Relics, called the Clan Group. Discover 8 new Relics, which can be crafted from a new resource, Gilded Medallions, which themselves can be obtained in the Clan Shop.
