Our latest patch features a new Damage Boost terrain!
Damage Boost Terrain
You'll enjoy this new terrain if you're the type to charge up your attacks for big chunky damage. Once collected it'll add 10 damage to your next attack, making your characters more lethal than ever.

Hurl Flames At Your Opponents With Our New Terrain Object
A small number of updates with big implications!
New terrain object - "Flame Trigger"
Bug fixes / stability improvements
New Terrain Object - "Flame Trigger"
Ever grow impatient waiting for a terrain object to come into play?
Well here's an idea–Our newest object Flame Trigger is like a cannon that shoots when you tell it to. There's a big visible button on the battlefield, and when you move your character on it, it hurls flames at your opponents over an entire column. One should never play with fire, except when it means big damage to your opponents!

At the moment, pre-battle options include terrain layout, battle stage, and turn-timer. When playing in a PvP match, both players will need to choose the same option in order for it to take effect; otherwise, the default setting will be used.
We hope to implement more options in the future! Let us know what you’d want us to put in!

Yes, we have new playable character! Character 8 really shakes up the roster by offering new, unique ways of dealing damage. Try them out, and let us know your thoughts!
Character 8 is good at punishing fast, trigger-friendly enemies. Equipped with abilities that inflict Shock—whenever the affected character deals damage, they incur elemental damage themself—they can make fast opponents think twice before launching an all-out attack. Their stance "Ramping Strike" is also in line with this concept, having the ability to crush those who like to rapidly inflict damage.
In our opinion, Character 8 is a strong counter to the Ranger and Totem. We want to know your thoughts on this so please try them out!

We really wanted to revisit some of our original characters and make them better. Through our community, we gained tremendous insight over the course of many tournaments, and we observed the gaps and spaces where our characters can shine even brighter.
And we are definitely listening to your suggestions! Someone suggested new music. So we added a brand new battle theme! Hope you like it.
Reworked Berserker Abilities
In the latest patch, the Berserker has gone through some major changes, but its core concept remains the same – a slow heavy-hitter whose desire to kill gives them tunnel vision and can make them reckless at times. Our new set of abilities really drives this home while making them even more dynamic and fun, overall.
So try out them out yourself, and tell us what you think!
