Shadow Arena, Minotaur Super Raids, quality of life updates, and more!
Update 10.60.0 is here, bringing with it a bunch of updates to various game modes. We’re introducing a Shadow Arena mode for Platinum Tier, Super Raids for the Minotaur’s Labyrinth, and a whole lot more quality of life updates that we hope will make your RAID experience that much better. Check out everything that’s coming below.
Shadow Arena
To offer a more diverse and competitive experience in Platinum Tier Classic Arena, we're introducing a new feature – Shadow Arena – inspired by community feedback and aimed at creating a more exciting competition. This limited-time mode will hide all information about opponents until the Classic Arena weekly reset, meaning players will not be able to see who they are fighting against and team up with Clan allies.
Minotaur Super Raids & Quality of Life Updates
We’re introducing time-limited Super Raids to the Minotaur’s Labyrinth, and an indication that shows which Champions have already earned the maximum number of Scrolls they need to unlock all of their Masteries. With this “MAX” indication, it’ll be clearer for players to know who they should switch or remove from the team.
We’re also making sure that if you’re running Background Multi-Battles or Auto-Battle in the Minotaur’s Labyrinth and all Champions in the current team have reached the max number of scrolls, the current sequence of battles will end automatically to prevent players wasting unnecessary Energy.
Selling Equipped Gear
When managing your Gear, we’re replacing the option to destroy equipped Gear with the ability to sell or remove it instead. You’ll now be able to sell equipped Gear directly from a Champion’s loadout, or through the Gear Filter menu.
Doom Tower Quality of Life
We’ve introduced some quality of life updates to the Doom Tower, meaning Presets can be saved across different Rotations of the Doom Tower.
Clan vs Clan Points Update
The CvC Points multiplier will now no longer appear once you’ve reached the Points cap for that Objective type. Also, we’re adding multiplier labels to the Game Modes menu to highlight areas of the game where you can earn extra points in the active CvC Tournament. This feature will be made available in-game with the next CvC launch.
Clan Shop Items Distribution
We’ve redistributed some of the resources you can earn from the Clan Shop, such as making Gilded Medallions available to Clans at earlier Clan Levels.
Champion Filter in the Sparring Pit
Champions that have already reached Max Level will no longer appear when selecting a Champion for the Sparring Pit.
Guardian Ring Quality of Life
We’ve introduced a quality of life update for the Guardian Ring which prevents the game from resetting the list of Champions when you’ve previously scrolled down and unselected a Champion.
Champion Filter Stat Range Quality of Life
We’re introducing stat ranges when filtering Champions. Now, you’ll be able to sort through your Champion Collection to find Champions with specific amounts of certain stats like Speed or Critical Rate.
Gear Filter Improvement
We’ve improved the Gear Filter, so now you can filter Gear by the number of Substat upgrades. For that, simply choose a Substat in the Filter Menu and select an option.
Enable Notifications
We’ve improved the ability to receive notifications from the game by adding more clear information regarding notifications in the Profile window.
Siege Mana Shrines Improvements
We’ve made a tooltip in the Siege Battle Phase that shows how many Rebattle attempts are available in Mana Shrines. Also, we’ve added a notification when Rebattle attempts are available, along with a reminder to set Building Bonuses.
