Hey, everyone!

We’re glad to see you all in 2026, and we’ve prepared a neat little update to celebrate the New Year. Not only will you get a glimpse of the upcoming major Event, but we have some long-awaited QoL updates, such as making the Live Arena accessible while Background Multi-Battles are running, and more besides.

Take a look at the full list of changes below.

QoL: Background Multi-Battles

First, an important disclaimer: these QoL changes will be implemented separately later in the month, rather than being introduced immediately with Update 11.10. But we promise they are worth the wait!

As noted during the initial announcement of Background Multi-Battles, our ultimate goal was to enable them to be run simultaneously with Arena Battles. And now, we are almost at the point where this goal will become reality. At first, we’ll only make Live Arena Battles available, but Classic Arena and Tag Arena Battles will also be unlocked later on.

We’ll ensure you can use the same Champions both in the ongoing Background Multi-Battle and the Live Arena Battle you start in the meantime.

And we have a few minor QoL changes prepared as well:

• You’ll be able to sell or upgrade Gear from the Background Multi-Battle Results menu.
• Tapping on a specific reward in the Results menu will display the item name.
• The Background Multi-Battle Results notification will appear on the Bastion screen if it’s open when the ongoing Multi-Battles finish.
  

Event Dungeon: Challenge Stages

We already teased the upcoming Event in the intro, and while it’s too early to reveal the details, there are a few things that we can share. First, the Event Dungeon will receive 5 Challenge Stages on top of the regular ones.

These Stages unlock once you’ve beaten the Event Dungeon. They’ll be harder than the rest and require no Energy to access, nor will they provide the typical loot. Instead, you get awesome one-time rewards for completing each Challenge Stage. These will include Rare, Epic, and Legendary Relic Crafting Materials, Basalt, and Gemstones.

Coalition Event

The Coalition Event, which we introduced during Chaos Awakes last summer, will return as well - together with new Limited Quests and the following QoL changes:

• Tapping on a specific player in the Coalition Event Leaderboard will take you to their Player Info Tab.
• Turn Counters will be added to the Event Dungeon, Hydra Battles, Iron Twins Fortress, Minotaur’s Labyrinth, and Phantom Shogun’s Grove to help track progress for specific Limited Quests.

Miscellaneous

• We’ll enforce a short cooldown on certain Siege actions, such as activating, editing, or deleting Traps, or removing Defense Teams. This change is intended to address a bug that can cause the gain or loss of various Resources when these actions are performed in rapid succession.
• The Remove and Sell buttons in the Manage Gear tab will be colored differently to provide obvious visual cues and make the process smoother.
• We’ll add an option to use duplicates, as well as specially designated replacement Champions, to Empower Champions introduced during some of the crossover Events with other franchises.
• Faction Champion counters in the Index menu will display the number of unlocked Champions, whether or not they are currently present in the Collection.
