Hey, Collectors!

We’ve been listening to your feedback and working with the team to bring exciting updates, tweaks, and fresh content your way. With this patch rolling out on 3/31/2025, some strategies may shift, but we think you’ll like what’s coming.

Since this is our first-ever Patch Notes, we’d love to hear your thoughts! We want this to feel like a conversation, not just a list of changes—so let’s dive in! 🚀

🏆 Tournament Point Changes – More Ways to Score!

We heard you—tournament objectives needed a little revamp and some more variety. Right now, leveling equipment is the go-to for stacking points, but we want other objectives to feel just as rewarding. That’s why we’re shaking things up by introducing new ways to score points and adjusting some existing objectives to create better balance.

Here’s the plan:

✅ New ways to earn points – PvP, Exhibits, and Skill Ups are now in the mix!

📉 Less focus on equipment upgrades – Still good, but not the only strong option.

💡 More flexibility – Build your team, your way.

If you’ve been feeling stuck farming the same way for tournaments, this change should help shake things up! Now you can earn more tournament points when you're ranking and skilling up new heroes and progressing through the campaign. Let us know how the new objectives feel once they’re live.

🛡️ Complete Campaign Stages (Buffed)

‍Campaign progress should feel more rewarding—now, every stage cleared packs a bigger punch in tournaments! Keep pushing forward and stack up those points as you journey through time.

🌟 Leveling Up Heroes (Buffed)

‍Investing in your heroes should feel worth it, and now it does! More points for every level gained means your strongest heroes will truly shine. Rare heroes remain unchanged–so we’ve only included the values that were updated below.

🏅 Ranking Up Heroes (Buffed)

‍Heroes who reach their full potential should feel like true powerhouses, and we want to reflect that in tournament scoring. With this update, fully ranking up your heroes will be even more rewarding, making long-term investments in your roster feel more impactful than ever. Max out your strongest heroes and watch those tournament points stack up! 🚀

⚙️ Ranking Up Equipment (Nerfed)

‍While equipment upgrades are still valuable, we’re shifting the focus toward other tournament objectives. Ranking up gear will have a lower impact, but don’t worry—it’s still a solid way to progress. These changes only apply to Epic and Legendary Equipment, so values for Common and Rare gear remain the same and are not shown.

👆 Leveling Up Equipment (Nerfed)‍

We’ve slightly reduced the tournament point values for leveling up equipment. While it's still a reliable source of points, we want to emphasize broader gameplay goals—like campaign progression, hero upgrades, and our newly added objectives (like Skill Ups and Exhibits). This change helps rebalance the tournament scoring system and make room for a wider range of strategies.

New Tournament Point Metrics‍

Tournaments are about to get a whole lot more exciting! We’re introducing three new ways to rack up points and shake up the leaderboard. Whether you're diving into PvP, exploring Exhibits, or powering up your heroes with Skill Ups, you’ll have more variety, more strategy, and more ways to win.

🎉 NEW: Skill Up Heroes‍‍

A fresh way to earn points by enhancing your heroes’ abilities! Master their skills, boost their power, and climb the ranks.

🏛️ NEW: Exhibits‍

‍Finally, more reasons to grind Exhibits! Players will now earn tournament points for putting their hard-earned energy to good use. Time to show off those discoveries!

⚔️ NEW: PvP Wins

‍‍Your victories in battle now mean even more! Every PvP win will boost your tournament standing, giving you more ways than ever to outplay your opponents.

A New Kind of Battle Begins!
🏟️ Welcome to Arena Season 0

It’s time to put your teams to the test in a brand-new way—Arena Season 0 has officially begun!

Arena introduces a competitive format where strategy goes deeper than ever. Each 2-week season highlights three special factions. Units from these featured factions receive stat bonuses when placed in your Attack or Defense lineups, and the higher your Arena rank, the bigger the bonuses become.

⚔️ Season 0 Featured Factions:

• Humans
• Mechs
• Felians

Think of it like a rotating meta: each Arena Season will bring in different featured factions, encouraging players to switch up their lineups and experiment with team comps.

At the end of each Arena Season:

• You’ll receive rewards based on your Arena League placement
• You’ll be demoted by two Arena Leagues (note: this will start in Season 1)

A new season begins with new featured factions—make sure to update your Defense!

From our devs:
“We wanted to introduce a dynamic way for players to engage in structured PvP without making things feel static. Arena Seasons give players a reason to explore underused units, adapt their strategies, and keep things fresh. Season 0 is all about learning the ropes—no demotions this time, so climb as high as you can!”

So whether you're just dipping your toes into PvP or already climbing the competitive ranks, Arena adds a new level of challenge and rewards to your journey. See you in the ring, Docents!

🏛️ Exhibit Changes – No More Gold, More Goodies!

We took a long, hard look at the Exhibit rewards and saw something weird… y’all have more gold than you know what to do with! So, we’re making a swap—removing soft currency rewards and increasing other existing rewards.

From the devs:
“We know that players have more gold than they can spend, so we’ve switched out gold rewards in Exhibits for more Skill Materials and XP Chips. Take advantage of these increased rewards to level up your PvP teams!”

Daily Exhibit
Hero XP and Player XP remain unchanged, so you won’t see them listed below.

Skill Exhibit
Common Skill Materials, Player XP, and Unit XP stayed the same, so we’ve left them out of the tables to keep things clear and focused on what’s new.

This should make Exhibits way more rewarding and help you prep for the new PvP features coming soon.

📜 Task Updates – Better Rewards, Less Junk

Tasks are getting a little love too! We’re adding PvP-related tasks to get you into the action and trimming down the soft currency rewards (again, y’all are swimming in gold). Expect more valuable resources in your Daily, Weekly, and Monthly Tasks moving forward.

From our devs:
“We’ve added PvP-related tasks to the Task Board and replaced gold rewards with resources that should be way more useful.”

We want to make sure checking in daily feels worth it while also giving those of you who stick around for the long haul even better rewards.

🔥 Epic Campaign Changes
No More Commons in Epic Stages‍

Some of you have been grinding the Epic Campaign and… yeah, we get it. Farming an Epic stage only to walk away with Common equipment? That just doesn’t sit right. Players have spoken, and we couldn’t agree more—Common gear has no place in Epic Stages. So, we’re cutting it out to make sure your high-level efforts come with high-level rewards.

From the devs:
“We know it feels bad to earn Common Equipment from Epic Campaign Stages… so we removed them!”

This should make Epic runs feel a whole lot more… epic.
