[p] Today, we’re dropping a massive update to kick off a brand-new season packed with fresh content, deep changes, and a clearer vision of the experience we want to offer you. This update lays the foundation for what’s coming next.[/p][p]Originally, this was planned as a DLC... but after discussing it with the team, we decided to spread the content across the year through regular free updates — and yes, another big one is coming later ![/p][p][/p][hr][/hr][h2]🆕 WHAT'S NEW / WHAT'S CHANGED:[/h2][h3]🦆 A New Playable Character[/h3][p]He arrives with two devastating new weapons, including the long-awaited FLAMETHROWER... it’s gonna get toasty 🔥

It’s still a work in progress, but we hope you’ll enjoy this new layer of control and customization.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][hr][/hr][h3]⚖️ Full Difficulty Balancing Rework[/h3][p]We’ve rebuilt the entire difficulty scaling system from the ground up :[/p]

but it’s time to climb back to the top ![/p][p][/p][p]What is a soft reset ?
Only scores from X+ difficulty are reset.
Your progress in difficulties 1, 2, and 3 is preserved.
➡️ You’re not starting over from scratch ![/p][p][/p][hr][/hr][p][/p][h3]📊 Leaderboard Score Changes:[/h3][p]We’ve fully recalculated how leaderboard points are earned :[/p]

• [p]Victory rewards are now much higher[/p]
• [p]Difficulty 2 can now reach up to 3,000 points (was 1,000)[/p][p][/p]

[p]🎯 The goal: a smoother, more rewarding progression that better reflects high-level X+ gameplay.[/p][p][/p][hr][/hr][h3]🧠 New Weapon Tooltips[/h3][p]We’ve added new tags and visuals to make weapon types easier to identify.[/p][p]Tooltips now:[/p]

• [p]Show damage ratios more clearly[/p]
• [p]Indicate weapon category/type with icons and highlights[/p]

[p][/p][hr][/hr][h3]🛠️ Balancing Updates: Items, Weapons & GOLD Crafts[/h3][p]Here are a few examples:[/p]

[p]Hey everyone ![/p][p]Summer is in full swing, and we're here working on the next big Gacha Fever update, and it's almost here! Mark your calendars: Thursday, July 17th 🌟[/p][hr][/hr][h3]🛠️ Under the hood: a better save system[/h3][p]We’ve completely reworked the save system ![/p][p]Nothing changes on your end, your data is safe and fully preserved. But for us, it’s a huge improvement: the system is now cleaner, more organized, and much easier to expand.[/p][p]This means we’ll be able to build and release new content faster and with more flexibility going forward.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][h3]🏁 New Season — Fresh Start ![/h3][p]🚨 A brand-new season is here ![/p]

• [p]You'll still be able to see the previous season's leaderboard[/p]
• [p]But now it's time to chase the top again with a soft reset [/p]

[p]What’s a soft reset ?[/p][p]Only the points earned in X+ difficulty are reset. All your progress from difficulties 1, 2, and 3 remains, so you’re not starting from scratch.[/p][p][/p][h3]📊 Scoring System Revamp[/h3][p]We’ve completely rebalanced the way leaderboard points are calculated:[/p]

• [p]The max pre X+ score is now 10,000 (down from 15,000)[/p]
• [p]Victory rewards are much higher[/p]
• [p]Difficulty 2 can now reach up to 3000 points (was 1000)[/p]

[p]The goal: a smoother, more logical progression, one that feels more rewarding and truly highlights high level X+ runs.[/p][p][/p][h3]♾️ Infinite Difficulty, Reworked[/h3][p]We know Infinite (X+) mode is a favorite for many, and also a source of frustration.[/p][p]This update brings major changes:[/p]

• [p]More progression tiers[/p]
• [p]Smoother scaling (less brutal difficulty jumps)[/p]
• [p]Better balance to avoid unfair spikes[/p]

[p]We heard your feedback: the "hard stop" that ended your runs felt harsh and premature.
The new system lets you push further, at your pace, while keeping the challenge alive.[/p][p][/p][p]See you in the arena...[/p][p]And good luck climbing the Season 2 Leaderboards 🏆[/p][p][/p][hr][/hr][p][/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p][hr][/hr][p]Enjoying the game ?
