Update v1.15.0
The dwarven realms are abuzz as the crisp winds of autumn arrive, bringing with them exciting new changes and challenges. A highly anticipated feature, the live DPS meter, is now available, allowing you to track your damage output in real time during battles. In addition, Wisdom has elevated its crucial role in enhancing your healing power, making it an even more vital stat for support-focused dwarves. To complement this change, a powerful new Wisdom-scaling artifact has been introduced, giving healers a valuable tool to boost their abilities.
The amount of gems obtained from battles and daily quests has been significantly increased. Veteran dwarves will also notice a rework of their passive abilities, offering fresh strategies and greater flexibility in combat. As the season turns, the first set of leaderboards and challenges for Season 1 is now live, where you can compete and prove your worth among the strongest in the realm.
Alongside these major updates, we've implemented a variety of quality-of-life improvements and balance adjustments to ensure a smoother and more enjoyable experience for all adventurers.
