(Patch Notes) (12.02.2020) Update 1.13
Greetings, Raiders!
Once in a generation, the greatest summoners of Teleria must arise and test themselves against a series of daunting challenges set by the Arbiter. Those who emerge victorious from this crucible shall reap rewards beyond imagining. But even those whose power has not yet bloomed to its fullest potential will find that undertaking the Arbiter’s tests will not be without benefit.
Read the full patch notes below to learn what Update 1.13 has in store for you:
New Features
Battle Pass
Battle Pass is a new feature that encompasses a variety of Daily and Weekly Challenges that all players of Level 5 and above will be able to access. Completing these challenges and gathering Battle Pass Points will allow you to increase your Battle Pass Level. That, in turn, earns rewards that include resources, Shards, Champions, and even unique avatars to distinguish your player profile.
Keep in mind that Battle Pass Challenges and Rewards are only available when a Battle Pass Season is active. If you forget to collect your points and rewards manually, don’t worry - they will be applied to your account automatically (except XP Boosts, which will go to the Inbox for 100 days).
There are two types of Battle Pass:
- Core. Available to all players automatically. With the Core Battle Pass, you can earn Battle Pass Points by taking part in Daily Challenges - and you can win Core Battle Pass Rewards. You cannot get Rewards for Weekly Challenges or claim Gold Battle Pass Rewards.
- Gold. Needs to be purchased at the Shop, allows you to do everything the Core Pass does, but also allows you to complete Weekly Challenges and win the awesome Gold Battle Pass Rewards. On top of that, it also gives you a special Season-long Raid Boost that gives you extra Silver and XP from all Battles.
Daily Challenges are open to everybody. You get 4 new Challenges every day, which reset at 00:00 UTC and are replaced by new ones - regardless of whether you completed them or not.
Weekly Challenges give you the chance to earn even more Battle Pass Points and win even better Rewards. You’ll even get an extra Reward if you manage to complete all the Weekly Challenges.
Weekly Challenges become available each week in the order set during the Battle Pass Season. You will still be able to complete Challenges from the previous weeks for as long as the Season is active. Remember - you can only collect Weekly Challenge Rewards if you have the Gold Pass!

Champion Balance
Clan Boss Changes
As of Update 1.13, the Demon Lord will start ignoring Unkillable and Block Damage buffs from Turn 50 (CB's Turn, that is). Our tests show that teams built around those buffs will still dish out enough damage to match any other composition and will be capable of earning enough points for a Transcendent Chest quickly.
The reason for this is as follows - there are teams specifically tailored to be constantly kept under high-end defensive buffs such as Unkillable and Block Damage during the battle. This allowed them to outperform teams of every other composition by a huge margin - we are talking about three times the damage in the best case scenarios on both sides.
While this has to change, we acknowledge the effort and time that goes into crafting a team of this calibre and performed thorough tests to ensure they remain on par with other top contenders.
This change should eliminate the unintended disparity between various teams used in the Clan Boss battles and will still lead to excellent results. We will keep a close eye on how these teams perform post-1.13 and ensure that the changes have gone through without any unforeseen issues.
Additionally, players who’ve already received their Rewards for beating the Demon Lord on the certain difficulty during one day, won’t be able to receive this Reward again on the same day in another Clan. This is done to stop the abuse of ‘Clan Hopping’.
Multi-Battle
Multi-battles have seen a significant buff in this Update! Now they will work as follows:
- No Raid Card. 30 Multi-battle attempts.
- Raid Card. 100 Multi-battle attempts. +20% XP, +20% Silver
Additionally, we are launching a special event in which Multi-battles will be usable in Dungeons for an entire month! This event will be available to all players, Multi-Battle attempts will be shared between Campaign and Dungeon Battles. The overall number will remain the same as described above: 30 for all players and 100 for Raid Card Holders.
