Welcome the new daily event – the Captain’s Gambit! Assemble the strongest team and send it into battle against other players’ squads to fight for gold, minerals, and hero fragments.

 

The event has two stages: Preparation and Battles.

 

During the Preparation Stage build a squad from the units in your deck. You’ll have 3.5 minutes and, right at the start, you can choose an Epic Battle Boost. Once your squad is ready, it’s sent to fight against other players’ squads. Keep in mind: the Preparation stage is time-limited, so don’t miss it!

 

When the Preparation ends, the Battle Stage begins. Your squad is placed in a group with other players, and the squads clash with each other. All battles are fully automated – you don’t need to do anything else. On average, your squad will take part in about 500 battles per event!

 

At the end of each day, the event results are summed up and you’ll receive rewards via in-game mail, depending on your position in the leaderboard. The more victories your squad earns, the higher you’ll place. And the higher your placement – the bigger the reward!

 

 

A new section has appeared in the Workshop – the Transmuter! Here you can transform one Legendary unit card into another using a new currency – the Sparks.

 

How does it work? Choose the Legendary card you want to exchange, pick 5 desired units and launch the Transmuter!

 

Each conversion attempt has a chance to succeed. With every try, the success chance increases, and after 4 attempts success is guaranteed — you’ll definitely receive one of your chosen units! If an attempt fails, only Sparks are consumed, and your original card remains with you.

 

You can get Sparks in the Race for Sparks event, available in the Events tab alongside other Races.

 

Please note: Race for Sparks replaces the Golden Race of Stars. Since the frequency of Golden Races changes, the requirement for the Prospector title has also changed — you now need to score 3 wins in a row instead of 5.

 

 

We’ve seen your feedback that sometimes you encounter opponents with much higher Battle Power. We’re testing different solutions to make matchmaking more balanced.

 

From now on, if you’re matched against an opponent with noticeably higher Battle Power, there will be an increased chance for the Archon to appear in your battle. This gives the second player an opportunity to summon the Archon first, helping to offset the opponent’s advantage.

 

 

A major Glyph update is here!

 

 

Legendary Glyphs for unit types have appeared in the game! They are improved versions of their Epic counterparts and can be equipped at unit Levels 9, 11, and 13.

You can obtain them the same way as other Glyphs — through the Glyph Roulette. Every 100 spins, your guaranteed chance to receive a random Legendary Role Glyph increases!

 

The Legendary version is now available for the following Role Glyphs:

— Assassins: Glyph of Maneuvering / Whirlwind

— Damage: Glyph of Onslaught / Sweeping / Danger / Fury

— Defense: Glyph of Fatigue / the Final Frontier / the Monolith

— Control: Glyph of the Vortex / the Landmine

— Support: Glyph of Salvation / the Sphere

 

 

Some Legendary Glyphs effects weren’t exciting enough, so we’ve redesigned them:

 

— Undertaker. All enemies affected by the Undertaker’s dash will be engulfed in darkflame receiving damage equal to 200% of his Attack over 2 seconds. While the target is affected by darkflame, it is incapable of using abilities.

 

— Candle. Enemies set on fire by the Candle will explode after 5 seconds, dealing damage to all nearby enemies equal to 6% of the target’s Health.

 

— Riding Hood. One of Riding Hood’s wolves now always becomes a White Wolf. The White Wolf has +20% more attack damage and +20% extra health.

 

 

The Officer Piggle's Glyphs are already in the game!

With his personal unique Glyph, Piggle fires a rocket at a random enemy every 2 seconds while inside his robot.

 

 

A new rarity for Glyphs – Mythic! Now Legendary Unit Glyphs, available in the socket at level 15, can be upgraded to Mythic. 

 

Mythic Glyphs give bonuses to three characteristics at once, and their effects are slightly stronger than those of Legendary Glyphs. They can be upgraded using gold and a special currency called Lunar Essence. Lunar Essence is awarded for top positions in the Mirror Match and Card Foretelling regular events.

 

 

Changes have also been made to the balance of some Epic Glyph effects:

 

— Glyph of Bleeding. Ability damage has been decreased to +15%, but the damage dealt by bleeding has been increased to 5%.

— Glyph of Whirlwind. Ability damage has been decreased to +15%. The gained attack and movement speed has been increased from 50% / 25% to 55% / 30%, respectively.

 

— Glyph of Onslaught. Attack speed bonus has been increased from 10% to 15%. 

— Glyph of Sweeping. Damage bonus has been reduced from 20% to 15%. The damage dealt when the effect triggers has been increased from 25% to 30%.

— Glyph of Danger. Damage bonus has been reduced from 20% to 15%. The damage dealt when the effect triggers has been increased from 100% to 110%.

— Glyph of Fury. Attack speed bonus has been increased from 10% to 15%.

 

— Glyph of the Sphere and Glyph of Salvation. The bonus to shield and healing effectiveness has been increased to 15%. If the Glyph is equipped on the Archivist, he also gains +15% effectiveness for Secret Pages.

— Glyph of Boosting. The chance for the effect to trigger has been increased to 75%.
