Here are the detailed updates for this version:

1、🛡️ Core Gameplay: WA DEFENSE

【Gameplay Overview】

In "WA DEFENSE," you will fight alongside teammates against wave after wave of monster assaults. Your sole objective is to protect the ancient-energy-emitting Feral Relic. If a collared monster touches the core, the defense line will collapse within 6 seconds, resulting in defeat.

【Difficulty Selection】

  • Easy ModeFor Vanguards new to the battlefield, quickly learn monster traits and defense rhythms to earn basic rewards.
  • Hard Mode: Face tougher elite monsters and fiercer beast tides. Only through coordination and strategy can you survive and access high-tier loot (watch out for sniper-form wolves).

  • In-Match Progression:

Every wave is a chance to grow! Use the brand-new [H-Key Upgrade Panel] to spend Beast Soul Coins dropped in battle, transforming your Vanguard from a "fragile mortal" to a "stat monstrosity" in minutes.

THREE PROGRESSION PATHS

  • ⚔️ Weapon Enhancement: Increase damage, magazine capacity, reload speed, and other game-changing effects to ensure your weapons can actually punch through enemy defenses.

  • 🛡️ Personal Attributes: Stack max HP, damage reduction, movement speed, and lifesteal on kill to boost your survivability advantage.

  • 💡 Skill Efficiency: Reduce cooldowns, increase ultimate damage and duration, ensuring your tactical skills remain your trump card for wiping the screen clean during late-game monster surges.

  • [Ultimate Buff Activation]: Fully upgrading all entries in one path activates a powerful Ultimate Buff.

  • RANDOM CARD SYSTEM

    • Besides fixed upgrades, spend Beast Soul Coins on random cards. Discover surprises like Recoil Removal, Lucky Crit, and high-risk/high-reward Gambit Boosts, making every run a unique experience.

2、 ⚙️ Peripheral Systems: Out-of-Match Progression

Victory depends not only on marksmanship but also on thorough preparation. The new WA DEFENSE seasonal progression system is now live

【Module Activation】

  • Go to the Lobby [Core Guard - Module Growth] and spend Guardian Points earned from battles to unlock powerful modules.

  • The module system covers multiple dimensions, including Guarantee, low-player, and role enhancement (Firepower/Economy/Support), helping you build a unique playstyle.

【Module Attribute Tempering】

  • After unlocking a module, spend Guardian Points to temper its attributes.

  • Each temper randomly rerolls attributes, with quality tiers ranging from White/Green/Blue/Purple. Temper repeatedly to pursue optimal stats and forge the ultimate Valiant!

【Battle Prep】

  • Before entering battle, use the new [Battle Prep] interface to finalize your tactical configuration:

    • Module Equip: Select unlocked out-of-match growth modules in the central area and equip attribute entries that best suit your tactics.

    • Consumable Loadout: Choose 1 consumable from your inventory to bring into the match (e.g., [Beast Soul Sponsorship] or [Lucky Draw]). Resources are deducted only upon entering the game.

    • Team Synergy: Toggle to view your teammates' module configurations for easier team communication.

    • Ready Up: Once all players click [Ready], the configuration locks, and the squad leader can start the battle.

3、 📦 Loot Crate System

Say goodbye to tedious settlement screens and welcome a ceremonial loot crate opening experience!

  • Loot Crate Types: Supply Loot Box, Tactical Loot Box. Different difficulty modes yield different quality crates.

    • Opening crates requires corresponding keys, obtainable from the BEAST COIN Store​, BEAST TAG Workshop​, and active events!

    • The "Windchaser Journal" event is extended by One week, featuring Premium Key drops—don't miss out!

  • Drop Contents

    • Base Tokens: All crates guarantee Universal Alloy Fragments, the currency for exchanging cosmetic appearances.

    • Premium Vouchers: Premium Crates have a chance to drop Advanced Token, required for exchanging high-tier cosmetic tails.

    • Rare Drops: Premium Crates have a small chance to directly drop rare Dye recipes.

4、 🎨 New Cosmetics: Dyes, Tail Accessories & Tail Models

Showcase your individuality amidst the flames of war and make every Vanguard unique. The Defense Supply Exchange shop now stocks new permanent cosmetics!

  • 【Defense Supply Exchange】

Eternal Hair Dyes: Multiple low-saturation, premium-quality colors to choose from, making your hair the most dazzling presence on the battlefield.

Custom Tail Accessories: Add extra decorations to your tail to showcase your taste.

Special Tail Models: Several new special tail models (exchangeable using a specified amount of Universal Alloy Fragments + Advanced Token).

  • 【Cosmetic Avatar Display】

    • Freely change hair color, tail accessories, and tails in the Avatar interface to customize your anthropomorphic look. Custom outfits now also support display in the World Channel.

  • 【Special Chat Bubble Effects】

    • Activating specific rare tails unlocks exclusive stylized chat bubble effects in-game! Let other players instantly see your unique taste.

5、 🏆 Leaderboards & Achievement System

  • 【Leaderboard Reward Settlement】

    • Added Guard Comprehensive Leaderboard, divided into Daily, Weekly, and Total rankings.

    • Covers sub-rankings such as "Star of Destruction" (Damage), "King of Wealth" (Gold), "Wings of Protection" (Healing), and "Life Saver" (Rescue).

    • At the end of each week and season, top-ranking Vanguards on each leaderboard will receive exclusive profile frames, titles, and generous rewards.

  • 【Achievement System】

    • Added new achievements for Stage Clear, Kills, Pickups, Rescues, and Cosmetic Collection.

    • Collection Achievements: Unlocked by exchanging any Avatar cosmetic piece, granting exclusive rewards.

6、 📌 Other Optimizations

  • [Difficulty & Player Count Scaling]: The system dynamically adjusts monster strength and numbers in WA DEFENSE based on real-time player count.

  • [Revival Mechanic Revamp]Added the [Revive Serum] item, usable while downed to self-revive. Also increased the respawn waiting time after death and adjusted it so only Medics can perform manual rescues, clarifying team roles and significantly boosting the Medic's strategic value.
  • [Enriched Monster Behavior]: Fully upgraded monster AI logic:

    • Hard Mode adds Snipers: Lock onto player positions for long-range precision shots, extremely high threat.

    • Increased Elite Skill Frequency: Elite Bears use their Q skill more often; Elite Bulls charge at players within range.

    • Tiger Adds Disarm Skill: Unleashes "Aura of Intimidation," temporarily disabling player weapons.

    • Fox Adds Stealth Mechanic: Enters stealth if not attacked continuously, making ambushes unpredictable.

  • [Extended Core Interaction Protection]: When collared monsters or vehicles touch the Feral Relic, the interaction time is extended to 6 seconds. During this period, monsters can be killed or knocked back, giving defenders a wider window to save the core and avoid instant "base rush" defeats.

  • [Collared Monster Global Highlight]: Collared monsters (including newly spawned and dropped collars) gain a global highlight outline, visible through walls. Players can track their location and movements anywhere on the battlefield for precise interception.

  • [Elite Monster & Vehicle Resistance Buffs]:

    • Elite monsters (Bull, Bear) now display a Poison Resistance icon, indicating high resistance to toxin damage.

    • Vehicles now display Poison Resistance and Fire Resistance icons, immunizing them to conventional elemental damage and forcing players to focus fire.

Thank you to all Valiant for your continued support and valuable feedback for Wild Assault. Brave Vanguards, head to the battlefield and defend your Feral Relic!
