New Stages and Core Content
New Story Stage: Hill of Swords
A brand new story stage has been added, featuring 5 new enemies and 8 bosses. It introduces two challenging mechanics:
- Dispersal: These enemies only take 30% of damage directly, spreading the other 70% to nearby foes.
- Wormhole: A boss mechanic that creates a portal mid-track, allowing enemies to bypass a large portion of the path.
New Legend Stage: Burning Spirit Tree
Prepare for a grueling, four-act Legend Stage that culminates in a brutal EX encounter. Clearing this stage is key to acquiring 3 new evolution items and the Silly Fairy Familiar.
Eclipse Event: “I, Sacrifice”
While playing on the new Story or Legend stages, players have a 1% chance after each wave (before wave 10) to trigger a surprise Eclipse Event. If you can survive the demonic onslaught without any of your units being sold, you will be rewarded with the powerful new unit, The Falcon.
Major Gameplay Changes & QOL Improvements
Update 8.0 also brings a huge list of much-needed Quality of Life (QOL) improvements.
- Objective Tracking: You can now “Pin” event quests from the menu, which will display them on your screen in-game to help track your progress live.
- Stage Mechanics Info: A new information button has been added to the stage selection screen, giving you a full breakdown of the stage’s enemies, special gimmicks, and potential enemy modifiers before you start.
- SPA Minimum Removed: The 1-second “Seconds Per Attack” (SPA) minimum has been completely removed. A unit’s attack speed is now only limited by its own animation time, opening the door for incredibly fast-attacking builds.
- Improved Voting UI: The in-game voting pop-up for skipping waves is now draggable and no longer has a “No” button, preventing accidental cancellations.
The update also includes over 25 bug fixes that address long-standing issues with unit abilities, placement on certain maps, competitive play, and UI glitches, making for a much smoother gameplay experience.
