We have been talking about refactoring for the longest time now. Reworking the game from the inside out has been our vision, and we’re finally delivering this patch to our knights.

What can you expect?

  • New visual effects (VFX) across the board.
  • Arena overhaul.
  • Gameplay changes
  • And so much more

Let’s talk about the patch notes!

Version 0.5.7.3.15 Patch Notes

This latest update will introduce major improvements to the entire game. In the notes below, we’re addressing the highlights and the most important changes.

New Arena

  • 100% uptime, no desync, and fully functional with all NFTs, skins, etc.
  • Healing stones, mana stones, and fire stones working as intended.
  • The trophy system is live and up to date.

New Underworld

  • Added a restart feature in case the player fails.

New Mine

  • The mines are now server-side, secured from any possible abuse.

New Boss

  • Boss Panel will now update correctly and show HP in real-time.
  • Removed the turn-based system and changed it to a timer based — the faster you are, the more damage you can do.

New Tutorial system.

  • The tutorial is far more streamlined, and the UI/UX changes should fit the game’s feel.

Other changes:

  • Added status icons for all effects that apply during gameplay, for example, rage, poison, lifesteal, etc.
  • Added timers for all the game modes. After the time is up, the player/players (if in the arena) suffer a poison effect that damages them over time and kills them.
  • Overhauled the game’s AI.
  • The trap effect changed to occur directly at the start of the turn.
  • Animation timeframes are the same for every hero — meaning every hero ability now takes the same amount of time for the animation to happen.
  • If your hero gains enough mana to cast their ability, you can cast it without having to click their panel again.
  • Moving diagonally is now a thing!

There are many more changes that I’m sure our players will find out, and we’re very excited to share the patch with you.

Forest Knight, Meet Livia!

With the refactoring patch, we’re also introducing Livia — the bastion of the sea. She is a trident-bearing, monster-fighting, proud warrior from Gamrey Deep.

Available for purchase inside the Forest Knight tavern — ready to fight against the Skeleton Master’s domain!
