IV. Battlefield Adjustments

We've optimized the benefits of Slowing Effect in this version. Now with the same deceleration ratio, the effect will be stronger than before, so we adjusted the value of most of Slowing Effects to ensure the same experience as before. For heroes with less movement abilities, especially Tank, Support and Mage, Slowing Effect will be stronger in this version than in the past. We will make adjustments constantly. 

 

Also in this version, we've optimized Battle Spells: Arrival and Vengeance and changed Heal to Healing Spring, Track to Missile.

V.New Systems & Events

1. Dear player, we will open a new mode after this update. That is Tower Maze.  

 

Rules:

 

A. Tower Maze is an Arcade Mode that is full of fun and strategy! In this mode, 6 players will be distributed into 6 maps and confront each other and creeps. Players can buy units from the shop, build their own unit sets, gain golds, and enhance their troops to get to the victory. 

 

B. The map is random for every match. Players can buy units from the shop and deploy them on stones that are higher than the ground. Deployed units will attack nearby enemies automatically and cast their skills once they gain enough Mana. Each player has 100 HP. When the HP drops to 0, the game ends. 

 

C. Definition of "Round": A round contains 4 phases: the preparation phase, the "get ready" phase, the battle phase and the resolving phase. The preparation phase is for players to buy, deploy, recall or sell units and upgrade the capacity. During the battle phase, one of the other players' units will invade your map. If these invaders successfully get to the destination before they are eliminated, you will receive relative damage.

 

D. Definition of "Gold" & "Capacity": At the end of each round, players will get a certain amount of Gold and Interest. (For every 10 golds owned, get extra 1 gold.) Additionally, getting win streaks or losing streaks will also grant an extra Gold bonus. Capacity decides how many units you can deploy. The maximum is 9. At the end of each round, you will get 1 Capacity Exp. Also, you can choose to buy 4 Capacity Exp with 4 Golds. The chance to get elite units scales with the level of the Capacity, at the same time, the chance to get common units decays with it. 

 

E. Units Level & Stars: There are 4 levels for units, which indicate the rarity and the cost of them. Generally speaking, high-level units should be more powerful. If there're 3 same units on the battlefield, they will upgrade into a higher-level unit. Three 1-star units will upgrade into a 2-star unit. Three 2-star units will upgrade into a 3-star unit. 

 

F. Synergy: Every unit has 2 attributes, Race & Role. The synergy effect will be activated if there are enough units with the same attributes on the battlefield. (Same units' attributes will be counted once only.) It is important to take synergy into consideration! 

 

G. Notice

 

1. Player must be Lv. 9 or above and have more than a 90 Credit Score to enter this mode. 

 

2. To play Tower Maze, players must download all the additional resources. 

 

3. In Tower Maze, players can get chest points, EXP and BP as usual. 

 

4. Data in Tower Maze won't be accumulated to unlock achievements. And the data won't be recorded in Profile and Leaderboards. 

 

 

 

2. Now players with Legend or above can enjoy 3BP in Rank. 

 

 

3. New feature [Live Stream - Viewer Level]

 

A. Now players can give "Live Gifts" to streamers and increase Viewer Level. When Viewer Level is reached 30, players can unlock special effects when they enter Live Stream Channel.

 

B. Players can receive "likes" as gifts for watching Live Stream continuously. Giving them to streamers can increase Viewer Level. 

 

C. Add "VIP display"to show the viewers in Live Stream Channel from high to low Viewer Level. 

 

D. Optimized the interface of "Spectate". 

 

E. Added real-time ranking of"Contribution".

 

F. Now players can see the rankings of "Contribution" and "Popularity" at any time. Added Weekly and Monthly rankings.

 

 

4. New feature [Hero - Skill Display]

 

A. In this version, we've optimized the skill descriptions of heroes and added entrance to the skill description page where players can check the demonstration and short description of the hero's skills. 

 

B. Now only some heroes' skill demonstrations are available, more will be added soon. We will be optimizing the performance of this feature. 

 

 

VI. System Adjustments

1. Integrated "Invite" button in Lobby. 

 

2. Optimized the effects, models, and action playback mechanism of players' off-screen units in the battlefield to reduce game lag. 

 

3. Increased loading speed in the battlefield.
