Hey, Raiders!
Update 4.90 brings about one of the most important features of recent months - the Guardian Ring. With it, you’ll be able to breathe new life into your duplicate Champions and find a new use for them. We’ve already discussed it in several videos - including a dedicated Feature Preview - so you might have seen the details already if you follow our social media. If not, read on and learn more!
Guardian Ring is a new building that will appear in your Bastion and take the place of the Sparring Pit, but worry not - we will not just remove the Sparring Pit, it will be rolled into the Guardian Ring. Upon tapping the building, you’ll see a menu with several tabs:
We’ll go over them now!
Nothing will change about how the Sparring Pit functions. Just insert Champions into empty slots, and they will passively receive XP over time. Just remember to upgrade their Level and replace them with new Champions whenever you need that.
Here, you assign duplicate Rare, Epic, and Legendary Champions to become Faction Guardians. This means they’ll boost the stats of all Champions of the same Rarity in a chosen Faction.
Each Faction has 5 Chambers available, and each Chamber has 2 Slots. Each Chamber provides Stat bonuses to all Champions of the Faction to which it belongs and of its respective Rarity - similar to Great Hall Bonuses - but it’s Faction-specific rather than Affinity-Specific. You unlock Chambers in a specific Order by assigning duplicate Champions to them, so you need to fill the first 2 Slots that give you a bonus to HP before you can unlock the Chamber that provided an Attack bonus, and so on. If you remove Champions from a Chamber, that bonus will no longer work, and the next unlocked Chamber bonuses will also be deactivated.
Fortunately, Champions you make into Faction Guardians can still be used in battles, sent to Champion Vault, or upgraded in the Tavern. As long as you don’t get rid of either Champion, you’ll get the bonus. If you want to sacrifice or unbind Faction Guardian Champions, you’ll need to remove them from the Slots first.
This tab allows you to “feed” your Legendary Champions with their duplicates in order to empower them. You can do this up to 4 times, and each sacrificed dupe will give your Champion a Stat boost. Just don’t forget that you’ll be losing those duplicates forever and think twice before you decide to sacrifice them. Also, Champions who have been fully empowered cannot be used to empower another Champion.
Though you can’t get duplicates of Lydia the Deathsiren, Gomlok Skyhide, Urost the Soulcage, and a few other unique Champions, they are not excluded from this feature. Instead, they each will receive a “surrogate duplicate” from their Faction which can be used to empower them.
This feature lets you release - or Unbind as we call it - duplicate Champions from service. You’ll lose that Champion forever, but get a number of Life Tokens in return. These Life Tokens can be used in the Token Trader tab to buy a Legendary Champion from the current list. Most of those Champions were part of Fusion Events in the past, so we wanted to give everyone a chance to get them. These Champions will include Maulie Tankard, Fu-Shan, Tomb Lord, Foli, Minaya, and even the jolly Sir Nicholas.
about empowerment, it doesn't really affect me, it's only for whales
About Token Trader, the legendary ones cost a lot to choose and very little what you pay for a duplicate. Either you lower the price, or you raise the sacrifice price. Or you let us sacrifice not only duplicates, we have legendaries that we do not need and that are garbage and that we are willing to sacrifice.
They release it...game just update itself and it is here...welcome to the bright feature, who is the same like dark past, but more pictured....endgame, i was think to unninstall it yesterday, but decide to little wait...unneeded, they just ignore all f2p player and low spenders and release their new trade system...now even trash will cannot be avoid and will cost money, great work...for someone....this is last bitching, was a great project, but like many others, was ruined...i check how thing goin and decide to just go back to Blizzard games, DOTA and CS....but trying to get things here right, i see this was searched effect really - too many f2p players and low spenders overload the servers, and Paylarium cant just tell them officialy to go away, so just make them feel misserable, get their reward, nerf they chances, drop and heroes, give them a trash dupe system, broke arena again and they alone will do it...goodbay greedy people, only regret will be that i lose a lot of time and even some money on doomed project (idea was good, but thats it, and then suddenly just became wallet pay-to-win game)...goodbay

I dont understand those like you who says "it doesn't really affect me, it's only for whales",you have some acces of Raid free to play only???? you battle arena with AI bots?you have some hacks to empower yourself over those who pay for op gear or have better champs ,or that specific op legendarie?Yes Raid is free-to-play but all free players are bound to fight against others ,others that payd to be more powerful than the f2p.And thats normal,this is the business model for any f2p game.The problem is that we get to the point that no matter how many time and effort you put in the game as f2p ,you will never and NEVER have a chance against a p2w player.If we need almost 3 years to have 15 legendaries like rigden or 21 like me,imagine how many years we will need to empower ONE legendarie.

but a p2w player is in platinum, in gold 4 that does not alter anything, those who have 4 repeated legendary for that are the ones who pay, I spent little in the game, with all this I do not do it, but I do not cry because they leave to kill are the whales to empower. I have been playing for 2 years and like 30 legos, only 2 duplicates, and I am not going to do anything with them. They must let us kill the garbage laymen and that's it. Always the one who pays has and will have an advantage over the one who does not. There is no reason to cry about it. Let us leave envy, and do what we can with what we have.
Well... this will mske new whales more competitive against the old players.
I guess that old buyers have slowed their spending as they where already set and with this new brnd feture a guy with 1000 bucks can compete with people without habing to fight on the arena or anything like that. Just shards.
i will loose after 2 years playing against a whale that has not helped the game to evolve.
you have done this.
Love the game And will stop buying things, raids, energy and I will start playing other betas

if you dont see p2w in gold 4 than plarium is the one who refresh your arena :),or you are lucky or rng bless you, if you believe in that bs:luck and rng,i open so many shards in 3 years that i would won in lottery if rng was the main factor.
