Hi, all! ːsteamhappyː
As we've mentioned in the latest note, the new big modes are updated.
New Features
1. Arena (PvP mode)
Arena mode is our newly introduced PvP mode.
It's basically an auto-battler based on 3MH's systems with some convenient features.
You can fight with other players, but you can take enough time to set strategies
because battles' are not done in real-time.
You can access arena mode from the main menu.
In 'Ranked Battle' mode(center), you can fight with other players.
And your rank and score change regarding the result of battles.
In 'Casual Battle' mode(right), you can fight with other players but it doesn't affect your rank and score.
We'll also update the real-time 'Friendly battle' mode later on.
Currently, there are 20 original heroes are available in the Arena mode.
Not like the original PvE play, the heroes only do their basic attack.
(They do nothing if a hero has no basic attack ability!)
But in Arena, you can teach a mana skill by dragging it on a hero.
A hero with a mana skill automatically uses it per the cool time of the taught card.
In Arena mode, the win and loss are decided by line.
Your score changes by the result of the battle and the opponent's rank.
What's mainly different from the original mode in reward is the 'Synergy' system.
You can add a synergy token to a hero.
And depending on the number of synergies applied to the heroes in the field, the set effect of each synergy will be activated.
For example, the set effect based on the number of fixed damage synergies is:

2 set: When enemies take fixed damage, they also get 1 poisoning.
4 set: In addition, when an enemy takes fixed damage, apply Irrecoverable state to the enemy.
6 set: In addition, when an enemy takes fixed damage, that damage is doubled. Remove a Hero Shield per 1 fixed damage.
We'll run the Arena mode for the beta now.
After the mode is stabilized, we plan to operate it as a season system.
Hope you guys enjoy it! ːsteamhappyː
2. Skin Customizing
Now you can create your own hero skin.
1. Click the rightmost item, 'Custom Skin'.
2. Press the 'Open Folder' and open the custom skin directory.
3. Edit a hero skin and press the 'update' button.
4. The edited skin is applied.
Additional Feature
The former 'Statistics' menu is changed into the 'Info' tab.
Info tab includes the initial 'Statistics' and 'Wiki'.
Statistics
The new layout 'Statistics' screen has been changed so that you can identify all achievements.
Wiki
Wiki tab has been updated to identify the information of loot, tile, buff, debuff, keyword, and Arena synergy.

Hi, all! ːsteamhappyː
It's been a while since we released the full version of 3MH.
We are back with the new play mode and new heroes.
Take a look!
Circus Mode
Circus mode is a new play mode that you can play under a fixed play condition and heroes combination.
You can acquire a bunch of clovers depending on the difficulty.
On the main screen, you can determine the play conditions

You can refresh conditions by spending 1,000 clovers.
When you refresh it, 10 altars from 'The Great Invasion' of steps 1~10 appear.
Also, the number of altars that will be shown in a single round is set too.
Finally, the average difficulty of current conditions are set and 3 possible rewards are set too.
In the next step, you can set the random combination of all heroes.
In the circus mode, you can play locked heroes.
Enjoy!

Hi, all! ːsteamhappyː
This week, we have updated 2 new goblin boss monsters, Gua, Maracu.
Take a look!
Main Contents
1. New Goblin Boss Monsters
Gua
Gua is an elder shaman who summons totems and derives power from them.
Gua casts a spell according to the remaining totem on the field.
Following is the list of totems Gua summons.

Gua uses 'Pillar of fire' when 'Pillar of Fire Totem' is on the field.
Gua uses 'Thunderbolt' when 'Thunderbolt Totem' is on the field.
Gua uses 'Recovery' himself when 'Recovery Totem' is on the field.
As a mana skill, Gua summon destroyed totems.
So make sure to keep destroy Gua's totem to suppress Gua's power!
Maracu
Maracu is a secret weapon of the Goblin army.
It throws a big harpoon-like arrow in the middle row of the allied field.
Also, it gathers units and heroes of the upper and lower row to the middle row.
If Maracu gets negative states like burn, frost, poisoning and instant kill,
those states are applied on the Maracu's arrow.
(You can identify which states are applied by the flags hung of the side of Maracu)
The visual and sound effects of the newly added boss will be updated soon either.

Hi All! ːsteamhappyː
Summer seems to fades away in South Korea. Hope you guys doing well.
We're done with doing works related the Hero Skin and making UI for applying Skins in-game.
We tried to emphasize each Hero's characteristics and concept making each skin.
Main Contents
1. Completed Skins
We've made 1 Skin item for each hero.
Some skins are designed in the opposite way of the original hero, (ex. 'Snow Queen' Sorcerer)
also, others emphasized their primary concept. (ex. 'Lifeguard' Paladin)
Not only change heroes' outfits, but we have also changed the appearances of their main powers.
For Example, you can build dark barricades using 'Black Knight' Warrior,
and you can see 'Detective' Treasure Hunter makes manholes instead of digging grounds.
We're planning to end EA before 2021. So skin items will be opened as the game is turned to full release.
2. Localization
We're doing translation works with a localization company and Japanese, Chinese (Simplified, Traditional) translations are done. We hope all works are done soon and are able to be applied in the game.
