Friends, we've all been impatiently awaiting the Puzzle Breakers update, and the big day is finally here. We introduced a bunch of improvements we're excited to share with you, so make yourself comfortable!
Game modes revised
- Completing the Campaign missions is now the only way to level up your account
- If you lose a Campaign mission, resurrection attempts are limited
- The warning icon now appears next to your team power in case it’s lower than recommended for a level
- Missions can be replayed after they are completed for the first time
- Some missions now have restrictions and requirements — you’ll need certain account levels, or heroes’ groups, classes and elements etc.
- New type of energy introduced for Adventure mode — Adventure energy
- Senior Privilege Card owners get an increased reward rate and a daily bonus of Tickets, that allow you to skip Adventure missions
- Only the most powerful leaders can reach the newly introduced Sovereignty league.
- Senior Privilege Card owners get increased rewards from the Raid Chest.
- Raid Chests now contain a new type of reward called Relics that you'll need to ascend your heroes.
- Raid Chests are opened with keys given out as rewards for defeating enemy heroes (the higher their league, the more keys you get).
- The defending team is now assembled in the Raid menu.
- You have a chance of getting the Talent Points you need to upgrade hero stats in the Skill Tree.
- Battles against Giants may also be awarded with Giant Shards that are also required for some of the Skill Tree upgrades. You can get them only in case you have a Sworn Enemy group Hero on the team. The amount depends on the damage you did to the stunned giant.
- A dedicated widget in your kingdom now indicates your current Clan War status.
- The matching system has been improved to account for even more parameters.
- Players can get a new type of resource called Books of Knowledge that they'll need to upgrade class stats at the War Academy.
Heroes
- Heroes are now divided into several quality categories:
➢ Common — 1-6 stars
➢ Uncommon — 2-7 stars
➢ Rare — 3-8 stars
➢ Epic — 4-9 stars
➢ Legendary — 5-10 stars
➢ Exclusive — 5-10 stars (can only be acquired during events)
- The hero upgrade system has been revised — to increase your hero's number of stars, you'll need Relics and spare heroes.
- Every hero you summon now has the lowest level possible for their quality.
Each hero has a Skill Tree that can be used to upgrade their stats as well as their active and passive abilities.
- We introduced equipment quality, which means that weapons and armor can be upgraded with spare items of the same type or various materials.
- Removing pieces of equipment from heroes now requires gold.
- Weapons and chest armor are available for level 1 heroes, with boots unlocked at level 40 and gloves at level 80.
Talismans now have quality, where higher-level talismans have a chance to acquire legendary quality while being upgraded or converted, and talisman levels are now indicated with numbers.
Every hero belongs to a specific group, which lets you pick up the best suitable hero depending on their abilities.
