Defenders!

The update 1.9.1 has been installed. The Prime Zone is waiting for you!

To make the process of getting cards more transparent, understandable, and uniform, we have decided to get rid of the Hero chests.

Now, the regular chests that you can receive as a battle reward or buy at the store can get you cards, Heroes shards, and all types of Hero tokens.

We have removed Hero chests from the game.

Please note! You cannot get new Heroes — who appeared in the game with the last update — as well as the Heroes of the Servants and Brisk groups from the chests.

The rarity of Heroes and tokens, dropping from the chests, will be determined according to the current system, which means the whole process of getting Heroes will become much easier, including those of the legendary rarity ːsteamhappyː
And, of course, you no longer have to spend tokens on Hero chests because you will only need them for evolution and craft.

Now you can get mythic chests as a battle reward (both in PvP and in PvE high-level locations)

Besides, the red chests now contain not only card shards but also silver, resources, and legendary runes (including those with a double effect)

At the same time, you can buy red chests at the store for both Red Crystals and Stars.

Please note! In the future, the purchase of mythic chests for Red Crystals will be disabled.

It means that level 90 players will be able to receive mythic chests more often, and collecting runes of high rarity will become easier. After all, legendary runes will be in the red chests! And also valuable runes with a double effect ːsteamhappyː

Now, you can get Hero tokens as a reward for a completed task. Silver ones if your account is of Level 30 or above and Golden ones if it is of Level 70 or above.

Defenders 2 introduces a completely new system: the creation of specific player-selected Tower, Spell, or Hero card shards.
Now you can use the accumulated shards to create the cards that you need!

To do this, you need to follow the instruction:

Select the card or card shard from those available in the collection;

Use a special button in the card menu that will take you directly to the crafting interface;

Select which cards from the inventory you would like to convert to the ones you have selected at the first stage.

Besides, by doing this, you get a chance of receiving a bonus — shards of card's foil analog or other special cards.

Thus, you will have full control of getting the cards you need and/or their duplicates (to increase the Quantity parameter, for example). And receive foil counterparts of your favorite cards ːsteamhappyː

A new enemy has appeared in the Prime Zone, Fleetle! You can meet it in any location if your account is of Level 90.

This flying enemy is extremely cunning: when trying to land, it burrows under the ground, removing all debuffs from itself, and continues its way there.

Now, when choosing Heroes for a team (in the ship interface), you can see special icons indicating that the Hero belongs to a particular group.

Also, you can now sort Heroes by groups.

Added the function for an early automatic release of the Creep waves. Hooray! ːsteamhappyː

Added the duration of magic display in-battle. It is a special icon with a countdown timer.

The evolution cost for cards of mythic rarity has been changed.

The new cost of the evolution of red Towers and Spells is 150 Red Crystals, 20,000 essences of one type, and 10,000 essences of another.

Evolution of the red Hero costs 150 Red Crystals + 4,500 silver helmets + 2,250 golden helmets.

Added foil counterparts for many cards:

Towers: Incombustible Blackthorn, Flying Saucer, Incandescent Core, Christmas Tree, Festival Mortar, Petard Mortar, Minigun, Reviving Tower, Snowball, The Queen, Ghost Tower, Banshee Tower, Colony of Bats.
Spells: Merciless Strike, Time Warp, Golden Dust Barrier, Poisonous Swamp.
Heroes: Banshee, Vampire, Da'Ka, Defender, Nosferatu, Tu'Rehu, Snow Maiden, Mage, Vixen, Squink, Highlander, Fanatic.

Also, welcome a legendary hero of the Incineration group, Fiery Priestess, and her foil counterpart :)

The Queen's second effect has changed — now it deals 50% more damage to flying enemies (previously, it returned 80% of the price upon sale).
Also, the base damage for the Queen and its foil counterpart is increased by 5%

The Hornet Hive and Colony of Bats now make invisible enemies visible and can attack invisible enemies (previously, they did not allow them to go invisible).

Night Queen now increases the effectiveness of anomalies (instead of increasing their number).

Fixed a bug with the Might Rune (and double runes with this effect) not affecting some towers.

Fixed a bug with Flying Smasher and Snowball's projectiles that sometimes were floating in the air.

See you!
