addedWaiterra - Canyon LevelThis update includes the new Waiterra level! The level comes with new modifiers, challenges, and 3 new enemy types: Flying Sheep, Armored Sheep, and Bighorns.

addedVaelith - Elf Rogue HeroWe've also added a new hero, Vaelith, who can throw smoke bombs on the terrain to create kill zones and protect allies.

addedAuto Troop RespawnWe added the highly requested feature for your troops to auto-respawn. The auto-respawn system attempts to mimic how most players would normally use respawn troops, so that players can just focus on the battle without having to constantly monitor the status of the city's troops. Manual respawn is still supported, and auto-respawn can be disabled in the settings menu if you prefer having full control.

addedEye Form can now attack flying enemiesEye Form now has a ranged attack that shoots magical projectiles at flying enemies. Having a default way to attack flying enemies should hopefully make it less frustrating to play as a melee hero during these rounds.

changedQuality of LifeImproved troop behavior: Ranged troops no longer run awkwardly out of position / into range of enemies Melee troops and Summoned can now move across the map in response to allies taking damage

changedQuality of LifeRanged troops, enemies, and your hero now consider line of sight when attacking
