New Features
VIP Pass: The “VIP Pass+” can be bought after buying the regular VIP pass and gives you even higher bonus values while both VIP passes are active:
+10% gold & essence in total (instead of +5%).
8x fight speed factor (instead of 5x).
Black Market:
Introducing "Progress Packs," new resource packages based on your Adventure Rank. These can be purchased for crystals in the "Resources" tab at the Black Market.
New Gold and Essence Packages in the Black Market.
Quick Buy Mode: If you are missing resources for an action, the game will suggest the best-matching package. This allows you to purchase it with fewer clicks and immediately return to your action to continue playing.
Tutorial: Added a new mini-tutorial for the Black Market that guides players on where to buy Progress Packs and how to claim the daily free chest.
Improvements
VIP Pass:
The fight speed bonus from the VIP Pass (and VIP Pass+) now stacks with the 5x Speed Boost Event (During this event, the standard top speed is 5x, players with one VIP Pass reach 7x speed, and players with both VIP Passes can now achieve a maximum speed of 10x).
All subscription passes (VIP Pass, VIP Pass +, Crystal Pass) can now be extended at any time.
Mailbox: The subscription expiration warning (sent to your Mailbox) has been improved. It now includes more details and a direct button to extend your subscription.
Droprate Balancing: Increased the drop rate of rings and talismans from chests.
Unit Slot Unlock Clarity: Added more information on how to unlock the 4th and 5th unit fight slots. This information is now shown as a tooltip on the locked slots, on the adventure maps (first two areas), and in the related stage rewards.
Black Market:
Subscription packages in the Black Market now clearly display their duration.
Improved the usability of the new package slider in the Black Market.
The Black Market has received some minor visual polish.
General:
Implemented a new start screen.
Visually updated the S&F account creation reminder. It now includes a clearer icon showing the crystal reward.
Fixed Bugs
Chaos Tower: Fixed an issue where incorrect rewards were given for finishing a Chaos Tower floor exactly during the tower's reset.
Chapel: Fixed an issue where Hero Ascension costs were sometimes not visible when redirecting from the Tavern to the Chapel.
Combat: Fixed an issue where passives and talents that trigger upon taking damage would not trigger if a target's shield absorbed all the damage. These effects will now trigger on shield damage, even if no health damage is dealt.
Equipment: Manually removing equipment now correctly updates Hero Power.
Heroes: Predator’s passive animation now plays correctly.
Player Profiles: Fixed an issue where player profile links on the guild member list would not work correctly if that list was accessed from another player's profile in the Arena.
Ad Chests: Unique Equipment from the Ad Chest now correctly displays its rarity.
Arena: Players will no longer receive incorrect "New Frame Unlocked" messages from the mailbox for Arena frames they have already earned multiple times (6th+).
Quests: Purchasing resources in the Black Market now correctly contributes to Quest progress.
Black Market: The Black Market no longer automatically scrolls to the top after purchasing a package.
S&F Account: Clicking "Continue As Guest" after registering a full S&F account will now correctly load your existing guest account instead of creating a new one.
Adventure Rank: The Adventure Rank now always displays correctly in the character selection.
