Season Rewards

This season will feature exclusive skins for Angelic Aura and Dragon Breath. Stay tuned for more season rewards!

Weapon Adjustments

This update will adjust the gameplay of 3 existing weapons.

Dragon Breath

We noticed that the Dragon Breath's Quick Reaction gameplay didn't quite match its operational input and payoff. However, considering that the Quick Reaction gameplay itself is fun, we've increased the rewards for a successful reaction while keeping the gameplay intact. If the reaction is successful, you will instantly reload, and the first enemy hit by the initial shot will take damage from a laser strike from above.

Lightning Ksana

We focused on adjusting Lightning Ksana's Shield mechanic. While retaining the damage reduction effect, if a unit protected by the Shield takes damage, it will trigger a chain lightning on the nearest enemy. Additionally, if Lightning Ksana's enhanced attack hits, it will command all Shields to each trigger a chain lightning.

Wheel Saw

We think the performance of Wheel Saw's Weapon Skill is fun, but the operation itself is risky and its use cases are limited. Therefore, we adjusted the mechanic while keeping its visual strengths. Now, Wheel Saw's Weapon Skill can fire Ranged Attack saw blades, and hitting enemies with Fire will enhance the next saw blade fired.

Development Progress

Based on current development progress, the Season 8 update will be released in mid-June. Before that, the Season 8 trailer will also be released. Thanks for your patience, and see you soon!
