Trunda Skins, Instant Upgrade, and more!

This update brings a couple of new Champion Skins, Instant Artifact/Accessory upgrades, changes to Tag Team Arena Tier rules, the option to keep your Hydra Battle score or re-run your battle and try again, and a few bug fixes. 

Here’s everything you need to know

New Champion Skins

We’re bringing out two new Skins that will transform the appearance of one of everyone’s favorite Legendary Dwarves - Trunda Giltmallet! We’re adding the following Skins:

Heroic Skin - Icedrake.

Iconic Skin - Incinerus.

Both Skins will be available in-game in the near future - so keep an eye out for Events, Tournaments, and Special Offers. But, if you want to see what these Skins look like right now, just head to the Champion Index, find Trunda Giltmallet, and take a look!

And remember, you won’t lose a Skin if you sacrifice your only copy of a Champion you’ve collected a Skin for; and yes, you can use the same Skin on each of your duplicate copies of a Champion at the same time.

Tag Team Arena Tier-placement system update

You need to fight in at least 10 Tag Team Arena Series each week to be able to either stay in your Tier or be promoted to a higher Tier. If you fail to fight in 10 Series per week, you will be automatically demoted to a lower Tier.

There’s still a limited number of Promotion and Demotion places between each Tag Arena Tier, and this won’t change that. Players will be demoted due to inactivity first and foremost, then the remaining players in the lowest positions in that Tier will fill the rest of the Demotion places. For example, if there are 2,000 standard Demotion places in one Tier, but 500 players fail to complete the required number of Tag Arena Series that week, those 500 players will be demoted alongside the lowest 1,500 players in the standard Demotion places. 

“Free Regroup” and “Keep Result” options after Hydra Battles

After a Hydra Battle ends, you can now choose to re-run the Battle for free by selecting the “Free Regroup” to try for a higher score, or hit “Keep Result” to save your score if you’re happy with the result. This lets you tweak and refine your strategy without wasting Keys.

Instant Gear Upgrades

A new checkbox will allow you to instantly upgrade any Artifact or Accessory to a chosen level, skipping all the animations from each upgrade attempt. Each level upgrade will still happen progressively (attempt by attempt) as usual, with the same Silver cost per attempt, and the exact same chance of success or failure as upgrading manually.

Silver will be instantly debited from your account as soon as you hit the "Upgrade" button, according to how many upgrade attempts it took for the process. If you don't have enough Silver, the process will end prematurely once you run out. The option to skip all these upgrade animations unlocks at Level 40.

A new Hydra-related Quest has been added to the pool of Advanced Quests

The “Use 1 Hydra Key” Quest will be added to the pool of Advanced Quests after the next reset for everyone that’s unlocked the Hydra. As always, which Quests you receive is random - so you might not have the Quest in your list straight away.

Other changes

The native swipe Home Bar will now be hidden on iOS devices.
