New Content:

  • New Task Master Chests that provide bonus rewards (even some permanent stat boosts) for consistently completing your daily and weekly tasks.

  • All new Leaderboard Player Font challenges to complete, all of which grant powerful stat boosts! Customize how your name is displayed on the Leaderboards by unlocking these cool colors and font styles!

  • Several new Challenge Missions to complete, all of which grant powerful stat boosts!

Changes:

  • Buffed Prestige Power rewards (in Res Packs, Battlepass, Daily Gifts, etc) if you have Mimic Chest Prestige Power unlocked (since Prestige Power earnings from the Mimic are so strong).

  • Rebalanced the Community Event personal contribution amounts.

  • The Level Milestone map perk on Desert was too strong and was making all other maps inferior in every way, so the following changes were made:

    • The Level Milestone perk was swapped with a Mimic Chest Exp perk, which better fits this exp-focused map.

    • Any levels you had in the previous Level Milestone perk automatically transferred to the new Mimic Chest Exp perk (they have the same cost and max level).

    • To make up for the loss of this strong Level Milestone perk, it was instead added as a global bonus (affects all maps) in the Supreme Tech Tree. It is a new upgrade at the very bottom of the tree and can be maxed at Lv. 10 for +50%. This is actually stronger than the previous perk that maxed at +35%, AND it's a global bonus, so hopefully this is satisfactory despite having to pay more resources to get this upgrade back.

QoL Improvements:

  • Changed the description of Arbalest and Captain's skills and the Power Plant spell to more clearly describe how it calculates the energy earnings.

  • Updated the stats panel with several new stats, fixes to old stats, and format improvements.

  • Your leaderboard background and font are now displayed in the main HUD with your battlepass level and username.

Bug Fixes:

  • Fixed some minor issues with the Offline Progress formula.

  • Fixed a bug related to refunding energy from Automation Functions.

  • Fixed countless other minor bugs.

Misc:

  • Major backend update for the entire Unity project and most 3rd party plugins. Some things may look or feel different due to related settings and changes. Please message me on Discord if anything seems broken.

  • Improved the cloud save logic.
