Loadouts!

We’ve got a quality of life update rolling out that many of you have been asking for expanded: Loadout slots!

Until now, Loadouts were limited to just 3 slots, which made it tricky to keep optimized setups for all the different challenges you face. With this update, that limit is being raised - you can now unlock up to 12 Loadout slots!

• First additional slot: 500 gems;

• Second additional slot: 600 gems;

• Third additional slot: 700 gems;

Guild Wars: Breaking the Bastion

The Guild War will start on September 11th, introducing a new feature to the fortification mechanic: Negative Fortifications!

Nodes will now be able to enter a negative fortification state, which weakens defenders and strengthens attackers. This will help players capture those high-value nodes currently held by undefeatable players.

Players can remove a node from a negative fortification state by spending lumber to re-fortify it. Regardless of how deep the negative state is, the node will always return to a neutral or positive state once re-fortified. However, the lumber cost increases the further the node has fallen into negative fortification.

Lumberyard Nodes

We are updating Lumberyard nodes to be more rewarding due to ongoing community sentiment. With the release of Negative Fortifications, we don’t want to sour this further.

Lumberyard Configuration:

• 25 Lumber for Takeover - No Change

• 25 Lumber every 12 hours - Down from 22 hours

• Lumberyard nodes can no longer be fortified

Key points

• Nodes have a negative fortification state

• Players can remove the negative fortification state with lumber

• New Fortification bar to indicate maximum negative and positive fortification states

• Players can re-defend a node after a war day reset if they have been defeated on the same node

This Guild War will focus on Gauntlet Cores, and you can expect rewards like:

• Strength Cores I

• Speed Cores I

• Knight Cores I

• Status Cores I

• Hero Cores I

• Basic Hero Chests

• Hero Scrolls III

• Gauntlet: PestTech Paw Mod

The Guild War will end on September 18th.
