Welcome to our largest update ever! This update introduces ship mods. Mods enhance a specific part of your ship or ability. They are like ultimate upgrades, but you get to choose which ones to use! There are many mods to be found and collected, and more will be added in the future.

Existing ultimate upgrades have been replaced by mods. These can be found in the mod inventory of your ships. Some of the base abilities or the related mods had their values tweaked:

  • Advanced Targeting rolled into Clover ATS base ability. It used to be part of the Turret Seeker Ultimate.

  • Clover ATS base damage increased from 72 to 80 with an additional +0.2s base charge time increase.

  • Laser Storm Ultimate damage increase rolled into base ability.

  • Blade Storm Ultimate damage increase rolled into base ability.

  • Mega Bomb "EMP Core" Apex now affects the entire blast radius instead.

  • Ion Cannon Blast damage is now applied to the same radius as the stun, instead of having 2 separate ranges.

  • Ion Cannon Blast Amplifier damage decreased from 13 to 10 damage.

Update 8.0 is available since December 19, 2025. Since then we have released a couple of bug fix updates. A combined list of these fixes, available as of 8.0.4:

  • Fixed occasional screen freezing on iOS.

  • Fixed music being muted permanently after quickly multitasking on Android.

  • Fixed Phase Conduit hitting a single target multiple times.

  • Personal Shield Booster mods no longer stack with the Booster Apex.

  • Reflex EMP Extended Range mods no longer stack with the Extended Range Apex.

  • Improved mod descriptions.

  • Trinity Teleport effects now correctly show their unique green color.

  • Numerous other bug fixes and improvements.

Mods bring a huge and exciting change to Phoenix 2. We will be adding and adjusting mods in the upcoming content updates.
