This update includes some new features, along with some major and minor changes to existing features. Here’s everything you need to know:

Faction Wars completion reward

Earn 3 Stars on every Crypt Stage to get an exclusive Legendary Champion - Lydia the Deathsiren!

Lydia the Deathsiren

Rarity: Legendary

Type: Support

Affinity: Void

Faction: Dark Elves

Please note: Lydia the Deathsiren is exclusively available by completing Faction Wars, and cannot be otherwise summoned. Everyone who already earned 3 Stars on every Stage will get Lydia just after the update goes live and won’t have to redo every Stage.

New Avatar available for Gold Tier players at the Bazaar

Climb the Tag Arena Tiers to get access to an exclusive new Avatar. There will be one available from 00:00 UTC November, 1st, with more coming soon - so keep fighting and keep an eye on the Bazaar!

Game FAQ

 From now on, you’ll be able to access Game FAQ from the side menu in your Bastion, as well as from each of the in-game Guides. In the FAQ you’ll find extended feature guides, tips and tricks, Raid’s most-frequently-asked questions, and even server maintenance notices.

Mercy System

 The Mercy System increases your chances of getting higher-Rarity Champions from Shards if you have a long streak of summons without getting an Epic or Legendary Champion.

The System activates automatically after you summon a certain number of Shards without getting a Champion of a specific Rarity.

Once activated, the Mercy System increases your odds of summoning Champions of a specific Rarity with every consecutive Shard you summon of that Type. For example, after summoning 20 Void Shards without getting an Epic Champion, your chance of getting an Epic Champion from Void Shards will increase by 2% with every Shard - until you get an Epic Champion, at which point the odds will reset back to the default chances for that Rarity.

There’s a little bit more to it than that, but we can’t explain it all here. Head to the Info section at the Portal to read a full breakdown.

Champions and Battle fixes

• Changed Hatchet Slinger's icon.
• Giant Slayer or Warmaster Masteries will no longer trigger effects based on the target's death - such as gaining an extra turn or blocking revives. This means if the enemy dies from the initial damage of the skill, the effects will trigger as normal. However, if the enemy dies from the damage of the Mastery, the effects will not trigger.
• Elhain Keen Shot skill won’t place an extra hit if the target is killed by the first hit.
• Fixed the animation of the [Decrease ATK] debuff from Rearguard Sergeant Flail Master skill.
• [Block Revive] now places correctly when Torturehelm Unkillable [Passive] skill activates.
• Lyssandra Transference skill now correctly transfers all debuffs from herself to the target.
• Fixed how [Sleep] debuff duration displays in the info popup during Battle.
• [Block Revive] debuffs now activate before damage is taken from [Reflect Damage] buffs in cases where both are present.
• Auto Battle now works correctly in Tag Arena after tapping on the Auto button when switching between Battles.
• Fixed a bug that resulted in game freezes when switching between Tag Team Arena Battles.
• Fenax now places [Block Revive] after the target’s death if the Deterrence Mastery activates.
• Cleansing Accessories’ Special Effect animation will now display only if there is a debuff on the Champion.
• While under [Shield] buffs, Skullcrown Resilient [Passive] skill now activates if attacked by a Skill that ignores [Shield] buffs.
• AOE skills that trigger extra turns won’t show multiple extra turns popups during battle.
• Fixed a bug that resulted in game freezes when Team Attack skills are activated while a  [Fear] debuff is present.
• While under [Counterattack] buffs, Souldrinke Razing Hand skill decreases [Bomb] debuff detonation countdowns as expected if the detonation is supposed to be after 2 turns.
