LOOT MACHINES

Vending machines with big prizes are popping up on Chest platforms! Loot Machines offer valuable prizes for Coins, but don't get too greedy and forget to build your Squad. Loot Machines cost more Coins and contain better prizes as the Battle goes on, so spend wisely!

MEGABOSS SHOWDOWN 

Prepare for absolute chaos as a Mega-sized Skeleton King and Zombie Kaiju have an epic showdown in the center of the Map! Brave Squads can snatch up the many Gems dropped by their Battle, but beware getting caught in the crossfire.

Keep an eye out for the following Skins coming alongside November’s Cyber Squad Gem Pass:

• Nemesis Max + Emote (Super Gem Pass)

• Solarpunk Barbarian (Event - FREE!)

• Solarpunk Heavy (Gem Pass - FREE!)

• Solarpunk Tank (Available for Style Tickets - Nov 1st)

We're also exploring how future Gem Pass seasons will work. More news will be coming soon!

This balancing update is mainly focused on bug fixes and quality of life improvements as we prepare for bigger updates, including new ways to play Squad Busters. We’ve also made lots of performance optimizations, especially on Android!

GAMEPLAY UPDATES 🕹️

• Lucky Finds are updated with improved balance and functionality

  • Last update gave an unexpectedly large boost to Lucky Find chances, which has been mostly kept, due to popular feedback. This increase is slightly rebalanced:

    • Chances are slightly reduced for higher placements and bigger Squad sizes

    • Chances reduce more steadily as Squads get bigger, making them still possible, but less certain at larger Squad sizes

    • Chances double during the Final Stretch, to help comeback more

    • Lucky Finds can now appear until the end of the battle

  • Lucky Finds can again be refused via a "Normal Chest" button

• Big loot drops are more concentrated near their center, to reward the closest players more

  • All power ups, including Keys, always drop close to the center of the loot drop

• More Hearts spawn on the Map, more consistently, to make searching for Hearts easier

OTHER IMPROVEMENTS AND FIXES 🔎

• Reward Chest outcomes are improved

  • Classic and Super Characters no longer drop, instead giving more Babies to get Star Tokens from Evolving

  • Chest Taps are more likely to result in increased reward sizes

• Portal Energy no longer has a daily limit when in the World Journey before Squad league

• Some Character ability descriptions use more consistent numbering to be less confusing

• Several improvements to device performance, especially on Android
