addedTidesTake on increasingly difficult Tide levels, each introducing new challenges that push your strategies, builds, and teamwork further. As you climb through the Tides, you will face Ordeals -special difficulty modifiers that make each run more demanding. Their effects will force you to reconsider familiar strategies, adapt your builds, and find new ways to survive. Progress through the Tides to earn Talent Points and unlock more power for your heroes.
addedTalentsDevelop each hero through the new Talent system. Talents modify abilities, strengthen different parts of a hero’s kit, and open up new ways to play. Each hero progresses through Tides individually, so mastering every hero will unlock even more possibilities.
