- Major update
Mostly progression and quality-of-life. The change with the biggest long-term effect is Hero Roulette: you can now pick heroes from the previous two generations as well as the current one. Bear Hunt auto-registration also lost its 5-minute delay, and several daily chests now pay out Gems.
What's New
Hero Roulette
You can also choose heroes from the previous two generations.
Prestige Merit Shop
A new layer on top of the Prestige Shop with new rally skins; completing the Ageless Voidstar puzzle gives a domain effect and a Prestige Pouch.
Name Cards
New Name Card tab in the Skin system; cards can be switched and combined.
Bear Hunt auto-register
Registers right when the trap cooldown ends — the extra 5-minute delay is gone.
