AutoAttack Games is joining forces with Ninja Kiwi!
Who is Ninja Kiwi? Ninja Kiwi is the developer behind Bloons TD 6 and all things Bloons, as well as Zombie Assault and loads of other hit games.
Ninja Kiwi basically took the Tower Defense genre and made it mainstream. Jules and I (Lisk) visited the studio last fall, and the shared passion for crafting awesome games was immediately apparent. We couldn’t imagine a better team to partner with.
What does this mean for the AutoAttack Games team? We will be starting a new branch of Ninja Kiwi from the ground up!
We will maintain creative & operational control, while being able to tap into Ninja Kiwi's veteran team, connections, and funding support. Our plan is to slowly grow our current team (Lisk, Jules, Dani) to ~8 full-time members. This team size will improve our production capabilities in the long run, while still keeping us agile enough to iterate quickly and small enough to stay close with the community.
What's next? We are starting development on a brand new game! It will be a competitive multiplayer strategy game set in the Legion world. That's all we can say for now, as it is still years away.
What does this mean for Legion TD 2? We will continue to release monthly patches with game balance, fixes, and minor QoL. We still have a bunch of new units lined up, too. We'll still be on Discord and reddit as usual.
A big reason we are partnering with Ninja Kiwi is that they share our vision of supporting games & communities for the long haul.
And with that, let's look forward to v11.03 Patch Notes dropping on Friday with some exciting improvements and new units!
Sincerely, The Legion TD 2 Team
World's first-ever game to support next-gen NVIDYA Visage™
We are proud to announce that Legion TD 2 is the world's first ever game to support NVIDYA's recently announced next-gen Visage™ technology, which renders lifelike facial expressions in real-time.
With this April 1st update, we've taken great care to preserve the look & feel of the characters you know and love, while bringing the quality to world class levels.
Legion TD 2 has been described as "an infinitely replayable" game of tactics, teamwork, and prediction. With today's update, it is "an infinitely beautiful" one, too.
Without further ado, let's let the results speak for themselves.
You can practically hear the war drums beating in the furrowed brows of these seasoned fighters.
Savers gonna save~
Profiles never looked this good.
Who knew protons' eyes were at the top of its body? Who knew Treants only had one eye? Now we know.
Because the technology is still experimental, we'll be running a live beta from now until April 3rd only. Back to normal graphics after that!
P.S. Full credit goes to Schakara for the updated in-game icons!

Participation prize: Every participant who plays all of their matches will receive a FREE random card. If you haven't played a tournament yet, this is a great time to join.
Requirements
- Everyone that is level 3 or higher can join for free! First come, first served. So even if you recently joined the game, feel free to participate!
Twitch Drops
When you watch Nova Cups on the official channel, aside from enjoying shoutcasted top-tier Legion gameplay, you'll also receive in-game rewards based on how long you watch!
Watch the official Legion TD 2 Twitch stream during a Nova Cup to earn the following rewards: - Watch for 60 minutes: 2,000 essence - Watch for an additional 90 minutes: 4,000 additional essence - Watch for an additional 120 minutes: Random card
In other words, if you watch the Nova Cup both days, you'll earn 6,000 total essence and a random card!
IMPORTANT: You'll need to link your Twitch account to your Legion TD 2 account in order to earn the rewards. Link Your Twitch Account
Team Sign-up Instructions
Sign-ups are open from NOW until March 30 9am PST / 6pm CET.
To sign up, find a teammate and form a party. After you're both in the party, have one player type "/signup [team name]" (e.g. /signup Snail Kings) in chat. You should see a confirmation message that your sign-up went through. For those who participated in previous Nova Cups, you no longer need to do /join to signup.
The first 16 teams to sign up in each division can participate. For division 1 and 2 the top 8 teams are drafted per division. Other teams are waitlisted. There are usually no-shows, so waitlisted teams are encouraged to be present in the Discord and ready to play. View the team list to see your sign-up position and division.
If there are more than 32 teams checked in, there will be an additional best-of-1 qualifying round to allow more teams to participate. It is a best-of-1, rather than a best-of-3, to keep the event from running overly long.
You may sign-up as a solo with a suggested team name using the "/signup [team name]" command. Solo teams will be added to the Public Teams list, then be formed into teams on the day of the tournament. Solo teams will be randomly assigned a team name from either of its members.
If there is a waitlist, team sign-ups will always take priority over solo sign-ups
If you sign up as a solo, but then you find a teammate, you can re-sign up as a team any time before check-ins start. Just use the /signup command again with the new teammate. The tournament organizer will void your old solo signup after they process your new team signup.
After check-ins are over, all checked-in solo players will be randomly formed into teams by the tournament organizer. You cannot request a specific teammate at this point; if you want to play with a specific person, you should have signed up as a team instead.
It is still strongly recommended to sign-up as a team to guarantee your spot in the tournament and to give you time to practice with your teammate beforehand.
Any team that fails to check in will be disqualified. The next team on the waitlist that checked in will earn a spot.
Game Format
The custom game room creator should enable Tournament Mode in the room. This will ensure the following settings:
2v2
Mastermind only
Hybrid disabled
Division 1 & 2 Only - Conquest rules apply. (Once you win with a Mastermind playstyle, you and your ally can't use that playstyle again for that series)
Final Remarks
For a full list of rules, prizes, and other details, visit the following link: Nova Cup Rules & FAQ
See you on March 30th! The Nova Cup will be casted and streamed at twitch.tv/ltd2. Check the Tournament Discord on the event day for links to the other casts.
Sincerely, Your Legion TD 2 Tournament Staff

v11.01.2 Hotfixes
This post will be updated with hotfixes, with the most recent at the top.
Minor patch to round out the edges of some of the v11.01 changes. As always, data & feedback will continue to be closely monitored for more tweaks as needed.
Masterminds
Redraw - Redraw gold cost formula tweaked to have lower costs early-game (still scales from 1-50)
The dev team is constantly monitoring game balance, between looking at data and listening to community feedback. If anything is being more closely monitored than usual, it will be listed in this Balance Watchlist section. For this patch, the following are on the watchlist: - Mercenaries and game pacing
We’re continuing to closely monitor the meta to ensure a variety of strategies are viable and will make improvements as more data and feedback rolls in.
Bug Fixes
- Graphics: Fixed a bug in Giga Mercs where Mimic was accidentally disappearing instead of growing larger - Graphics: Fixed a bug with Arc of Justice missile not being rendered from the correct start/end points - Classic: Tower Defense: Fixed a bug with Cursed Casket (+ upgrades) not attacking/casting its spell properly

v11.01 Hotfixes
This post will be updated with hotfixes, with the most recent at the top.
Hotfix 5
- UI: Fixed a bug where some unit hitboxes were larger than intended, resulting in some units being hard to click - Game Balance: King Regen: 0.006% max health + 0.006% missing health --> 0.0045% max health + 0.0045% missing health.
We're continuing to collect data and evaluate further changes. For now, nerfing regen to make damage stickier and encourage early game aggression.
Hotfix 4
- Graphics: Fixed a bug with Nekomata visually increasing in size after using Spirit Offering - HUD: Fixed a few cases where HUD icons were unexpectedly slightly changing border colors/hues
Hotfix 3
- Menus: Fixed a bug where purchasing a card with Card Fragments would get stuck while playing the animation - Menus: Fixed a bug with Robo Card being the wrong rarity in some screens - HUD: Optimized & reenabled HUD Targeted By icons feature - Classic: Fixed a bug with Superhero mode with Divine Blessing where Divine Blessing wasn’t being lost on death - Classic: Fixed a case where players who played a lot of 1v1 games during the preseason event had bugged Classic ratings (due to not getting their new player rating bonus)
Hotfix 2
- HUD: Temporarily disabled HUD Attack Target UI since it may be causing increased lag. We will monitor, possibly optimize, and reenable in a future patch. - Graphics: Added an extra cosmetic projectile for Gatling Gun & Vulcan Cannon to feel better
Hotfix 1
- UI: Fixed brightness of fighter icons when in battle phase to match the build phase (it was unintended to be different)

There are up to five skill divisions, so no matter what your rating is, you have a chance to win.
