May 2025 Patch Notes!

Heroes take the spotlight, every Squaddie gains Powers, and the Fusion system is transformed. Plus: new Quests, meta changes, UI updates, and a ton of balance changes. This is our biggest update yet!

Barbarian King is great in close combat. His Power Move, Mega Punch, charges forward and knocks enemies out of the way!

Archer Queen is a ranged Hero who shoots enemies with a high-powered crossbow. Her X-Snipe deals heavy damage, and even splits into three smaller arrows!

Royale King wants to surround himself with as many Royal Recruits, and get as many Coins, as possible. Royal Delivery deploys Elite Recruits from a smashing box toss. What a deal!

Mortis is quick and deadly, wielding his trusty shovel. Monster Charge allows him to summon Bats and order Monsters to attack anything in his way. He can also do a mighty Dash Attack!

The Hero goes into battle with 2 Starting Squaddies. Hero can also choose 2 Powers learned from other Squaddies (and those don’t have to be the same as starting Squaddies).

And there's even MORE exciting changes!

Heroes are playable characters that lead your Squad into battle.

• Each Hero is made of up 3 unique types of abilities:

  • Traits (passive bonuses to your Squad).

  • Power (active ability used in Battle).

  • Turbo (movement boost).

• Heroes also have a type: Fighter, Hotshot, Supplier, Summoner, Healer or Speedster.

• Heroes can buff Squaddies of the same type (look for the Hero recommendation icon).

• Heroes are unlocked from the Shop using Coins, or from Events. 

• Heroes are upgraded through their Hero Journey using Hero Points - a new currency.

• Hero Journey pages include Power/Trait/Turbo upgrades, Squaddies, Skins, and more. A minimum number of items must be bought from previous pages to access more advanced ones.

• Squaddie Traits have been retained, with some rework.

• Powers unlock at Classic Evolution (most Squaddies) and upgrade at Ultra.

• Traits (passives) unlock and Evolve alongside Powers.

• Players choose 2 Starting Squaddies to accompany their Hero into battle.

• The Hero can utilize 2 Squaddie powers from any Squaddies that have reached Classic level, regardless of which Squaddies are brought into the current Battle.

Evolution costs:

• Classic: 30 (was 10)

• Super: 15 (was 10)

• Ultra: 6 (was 10)

• Ultimate: 3 (was 10)

The amount of Star Token rewards for each Evolution has changed:

• Baby: 20 (was 10)

• Classic: 30 (was 20)

• Super: 40 (was 30)

• Ultra: 50 (was 40)

• The cost of buying the Star Tokens with Coins to unlock the Star Chest has been increased from 300 to 350 to cover the difference.

Here's how the new system works:

• 6 new daily Quests are given every day.

• Completing 6 Quests earns a Daily Reward.

• You can make progress on multiple Quests at the same time.

• All Quest progress resets after the Weekly Reset.

• Replacing Quests is possible too, with 1 free reroll every 24h.

• Subsequent rerolls will cost Coins.

• Completing Quests rewards Hero Points.

• Beginner Quests revamped: 7-day onboarding chain rewards Greg, Dynamike, and Jessie.

• Only 2 identical Squaddies are needed for Fusion (down from 3).

• Megas are…back!? A 3rd pickup upgrades the Squaddie to Mega.

• Only one copy of the Squaddie can be present in the Squad now.

Upgrade stats reduced:

• Fusion: +200% HP -> +37.5% HP, +150% Heal -> +37.5% HP, +100% DPS -> +20% DPS

• Mega (NEW): +75% HP / +75% Heal / +40% DPS

• Busting a Hero defeats the Squad, resulting in being Busted.

• Spells have been completely removed from matches, achievement book and other places.

• The Squad can now attack and move simultaneously (attacks are faster while standing still).

• Attacking is disabled while moving with Turbo.

• Turbo is disabled while standing still, and no longer increases attack speed.

Turbo rework:

• The collectable extra Turbo Boots overclock the Turbo, but those don't recharge automatically anymore.

• The extra Turbo Boots are now consumables.

• Only the Starting Turbo recharges.

• Max amount of Turbo charges is 6.

• Turbo increases movement by 50%.

• Lineup draft size reduced from 15 to 9 (3 per rarity).

Economy Changes:

• Star Chest drop rates adjusted for Squaddie Evolution changes.

  • You can learn more about the exact chances here.

• Star Token cost (when bought with Coins) increased from 300 to 350.

Chests in the match:

• Busted Starting Squaddies will always appear in the next Chest opened, helping you get them back.

• Upgrading to Fusion and Mega is easier, as Chests will always offer an upgrade if available.

• Lucky Finds removed. Players can now find busted Fusion or Mega Squaddies that were previously upgraded during the match.

• Chest options reduced from 3 to 2 to speed up decision making.

• If all Squaddies in the lineup are picked and upgraded to Megas, Chests will be sold out until another Squaddie is needed.

• Chests costs based on Squad size adjusted to be cheaper with small Squads, but more expensive with bigger Squads.

  • Cost: 3, 3, 5, 10, 20, 35, 50

• Busted Squaddies now always drop Coins.

• Gem Hunt: Squaddie loot: 8 Gems -> 5 Gems + 5 Coins.

• Showdown: Coins: 4 -> 5 (+25%).

• Busted Squad loot adjusted:

  • Gem Hunt: 25 Gems + 1 Key -> 20 Gems + 1 Key.

  • Showdown: 30 Coins -> 25 Coins + 1 Key.

• Monster and Boss HP increased by up to 50%.

Hearts

• Hearts heal amount increased: 250 → 400 (+60%)

Modifiers

• Double Trouble

• Fusion Start

• Hatchling Herder

• Dopplegangers

• Timeout

• Spell Overload

There are two types of compensations:

• For Squaddies that became Heroes.

• For Squaddies who moved to the Hero Journey.

Squaddies that became Heroes

In this case, we give players a randomly chosen Squaddie at the Evolution level of the ones they lost (Ultimate for Ultimate, Ultra for Ultra, etc)

Players also get additional compensation based on the Baby value being converted to soften the randomness of this migration.

This will be 1 Hero Point per Baby value of the conversion (rounded up to the nearest 10).

Squaddies moving to the Hero Journey

If you have a Squaddie, Skin or Emote that is a part of Hero Journey - no need to worry. You keep it, while the associated reward is treated as if you already purchased it with Hero Points.

Overflow Squaddies get converted into Star Tokens when claimed, if they are claimed from the Hero Journey while maxed out.
