Keep reading to learn all the details!

NEW GIANT LEVELS

All Giants now have a maximum level of 11 stars, and their core game mechanics remain unchanged.
However, the star ranking of some Giants has been increased to 15, and they are now known as Elite Giants.
Defeating 11-Star Giants will reward player Clans with Hunt Points. Accumulating the maximum amount of Hunt Points will unlock a battle against one of the Elite Giants.
Elite Giants provide special rewards and unlock access to Giants of higher levels.
To unlock a new level for an Elite Giant, it must be defeated several times.
After defeating an Elite Giant, the Clan will have to fight 11-Star Giants again until the Hunt Points meter is completely filled.
Successfully defeating several 11-Star Giants in a row increases the Hunt Points multiplier. For example, defeating the 4th consecutive Giant will grant 2 Hunt Points, and defeating 7 or more consecutive Giants will grant 4 Hunt Points each.
Losing a battle against an Elite Giant will result in a partial loss of currently accumulated Hunt Points.
