Greetings from Plarium!

In Update Highlights 8.20, we’ll tell you about the upcoming features that include mighty Legendary Champions who become stronger when surrounded by other Champions from their Factions, the addition of permanent Super Raids, a way to make use of your unspent Champion Fragments, and more.

Faction Unity Skills

From Update 8.20 and onwards, we’ll begin releasing powerful Legendary Champions who wield a new type of Skills - Faction Unity Skills. These renowned commanders become more powerful depending on the number of Champions of the same Faction that they team up with. Faction Unity Skills can be either Active or Passive, but all of them will have 3 Levels that unlock progressively for every appropriate Champion added to the Team. For example, a Sacred Order Faction Unity Skill will get its Level 1 upgrade for 1 Sacred Order Champion accompanying the wielder, 2 Sacred Order Champions are needed to unlock Level 2, and 3 Sacred Order Champions (not counting the Champion who has the Skill) to max the Faction Unity Skill out.

It should be noted that Passive Faction Unity Skills affect all Champions on your team, not just those belonging to the wielder’s Faction, so you have some leeway between unlocking the highest Faction Unity Levels and building more unorthodox synergies. But like all other Passive Skills, they can be blocked or lose their effects if the wielder falls.

Furthermore, these Champions will have enhanced Aura Skills that can boost more than one Stat.

Champions with Faction Unity Skills will not be available in the Summoning Pool under normal circumstances. Instead, they will feature in various in-game activities, and new Champions will be added to the roster every month. At least until each Faction has one!

Permanent Super Raids

With several major features coming to the game in 2023, we wanted to help our players decrease the time they spend on more mundane activities like Gear farming. And as of Update 8.20, Super Raids will become a permanent feature available for the following Game Modes and Dungeons:

• Doom Tower
• Faction Wars
• Dragon’s Lair
• Ice Golem’s Peak
• Fire Knight’s Castle
• Spider’s Den
• Sand Devil’s Necropolis
• Phantom Shogun’s Grove

All you have to do is check the Super Raid box on the Battle Select Screen, and you’ll be getting double rewards after spending double Keys/Energy for a single run.

Disclaimer: All limited-time Super Raids will be disabled starting Feb 6, 15:45 UTC. It is a temporary measure we’re taking to make some technical tweaks to the server, so don’t be alarmed. Permanent Super Raids will become available with the start of a new Event and Tournament series featuring Wight Queen Ankora - a powerful Legendary Champion from the Knights Revenant Faction.

Fragment Exchange Chest

Another significant QoL improvement we want to introduce in the coming Update is the Fragment Exchange Chest. It will allow you to spend Champion Fragments belonging to certain Champions (marked with a broken Fragment icon) and get various rewards in exchange.

First, you’ll need to swap eligible Champion Fragments for Exchange Points at the following rate:

• 1 Legendary Champion Fragment = 1 Exchange Point
• 5 Epic Champion Fragments = 1 Exchange Point

5 Exchange Points will net you 1 Fragment Exchange Chest (you can open up to 10 per week), which contains sundry goods: you can see the entire rewards pool by tapping on the Chest info button. Most importantly, they will contain Champion Fragments for Highmother Maud - a powerful Legendary Support Champion that you won’t be able to get anywhere else.

Note: We won’t be running Events or Tournaments that reward Fragments for Champions from past Fusions (the ones marked for Fragment Exchange).

Altar of Souls Improvements

After gathering game data and feedback from the Community, we have determined that certain aspects of the Awakening feature require improvements. Namely, we wanted to make sure players are able to receive more Souls for Legendary Champions as well as Souls of a high Rank in general. Update 8.20 will bring the following changes to fulfill that:

• Chances to summon Rank 6 Souls and Souls for Legendary Champions will be increased permanently and for all Soulstone types
• The Wishlist multiplier will be significantly increased from x2 to x8

As always, we appreciate all the feedback you guys provided on the feature! 

Rebalance: Blessings

We will rebalance almost all Blessings to make sure that all of them now give bonuses to HP, ATK, DEF, C. DMG, RES, ACC, and SPD, depending on your Champion’s Awakening Level. When 8.20 goes live, all players will be able to reset each Champion’s Blessings for free once.
