Update 11.65.0 is here, and brings with it a new type of event in Live Arena, alongside improved matchmaking. There’s also new Gemstones, and Chimera Quick Battles. Check out everything that’s coming and more with the full release notes below!
Live Arena Win Streak
Win Streak is a new event type specifically for Live Arena. When active, players can sign up to try and earn as many victories as possible without losing 2 battles. Winning between 1 and 4 times nets you the corresponding amount of Gladiatorial Chests, while claiming the full 5 wins earns you a Warlord Chest.
Win Streak is also the only place where you’ll be able to get your hands on the 40 new Gemstones we’ve introduced as part of this update. Make your Relics even more powerful with these game-changing new additions.
We’ve also improved Live Arena matchmaking so that players who are participating in a Win Streak event will be matched with one another with a greater priority, as long as all other conditions are met.
New Gemstones
As mentioned above, we’re adding 40 new Gemstones that can be exclusively obtained via the Win Streak event in Live Arena. To accommodate these new Gemstones, we’ve tweaked a few windows in the Gemstone Index and Gemstone Filter to reflect that there is now more than one group of Gemstones.
Chimera Quick Battle
Quick Battle has arrived for Chimera battles. For when you’re short on time but still want to take down this multi-headed monstrosity, Quick Battle will run a Chimera battle as if in Auto mode, but it’ll be completed almost immediately.
As with the Demon Lord & Hydra, the Quick Battle feature is available for every Chimera difficulty. However, you must first unlock Quick Battle by claiming the final Reward Chest available on each difficulty by dealing the required damage. You can find out more about Quick Battles in the feature guide.
Profile Background Customization
Personalize your RAID Player Profile with Profile Backgrounds. While in your Player Profile Info window, you can access the gallery of available Profile Backgrounds to customize your Profile. Currently, there are two types of Backgrounds: Standard, and Events. Standard Backgrounds will be available to all players. Event Backgrounds can be obtained as a reward from future in-game activities, so keep your eyes peeled for more coming soon.
Profile Updates
We’ve also added the ability to showcase all of your Badges you’ve earned in RAID, not just your favorites. Simply tap the “All player badges” button, and you’ll be able to see everything a player has managed to achieve in RAID.
Event Dungeon Background Auto-Climb
Background Auto-Climb has arrived in the Event Dungeon. You’ll now be able to progress through Stages you haven’t beaten yet automatically. Background Auto-Climb will end if all Stages are completed, you run out of Energy, or your team is defeated.
Just like any other type of Background Multi-Battles, you can still simultaneously fight in the Live Arena, as well as Cursed City and Grim Forest Stages, manage your account, summon and upgrade Champions, and sort through your Gear and Relics.
Plarium Points Program Rebalance
To help speed up your progress in the Plarium Points Program, we’ve rebalanced it to make getting your hands on the rewards easier. We’ve also added some more valuable rewards later on in the Plarium Points Program.
Easier Team Sorting
We’ve made it easier than ever for you to manage your various teams in RAID. Now, you can enjoy complete control over your lineups. You can move active teams and empty slots anywhere you want - you can shuffle a team straight to the bottom of the Preset list, past other empty slots.
The “Move Up” and “Move Down” buttons are now locked automatically at the top and bottom slots to help make it easier to avoid dreaded misclicks. Reorganizing your list won’t disrupt your current setting-up process either - now, you can move teams up and down without it altering your current selection in the pre-battle window.
Minotaur Dungeon Filter Update
We’ve added a new filter into the pre-battle window for the Minotaur’s Labyrinth, so that you can now “Hide Champions with all Mastery Scrolls”.
Wishlist Chance Increase
We’ve increased the chances of summoning Perfect Souls for specific Champions on your Wishlist from 8x to 10x in the Altar of Souls.
Streamlined Multi-Battle Training
Leveling up your Champions just got a whole lot easier. We’ve increased the queue limit for Champions from 20 to 60, allowing you to train even more Champions in massive, uninterrupted runs without constant micromanagement.
It’s also easier to find the right Champions, thanks to the advanced Filter options. You can instantly sort by Rank, Rarity, Affinity, Role, or Faction, and easily pull Champions from your Master and Reserve Vaults. Best of all, your custom filter settings will remain in place for your entire game session, making repeat runs effortless.
