6.8 Update



We have redone the opening tutorial sequences for new players.

  • The new tutorial sequence now contains conversations that use the new comic style that we have in the rest of the game.
  • The new tutorial sequence contains 3 battles, each battle will teach 3 different things for the game.
  • The new tutorial sequence tells a new story introducing Luther, as well as new characters and troops (including Luther’s Daughter, Eleanor).
  • The new troops – Eleanor, Mysterious Hero, the Guardian Dragon, and the Militiaman come from Sword’s Edge and can be found from Chests after weekly reset. (This will allow players to update to 6.8 before these new troops are released.)
  • We have simplified Hero Creation so players choose between 3 possible Avatars, and can tap on the Hero name to change it.
    • Players can still change their avatar and hero name in the game like they can currently.




We have added a new type of popup tutorial in the new opening tutorial sequence. We will be looking to replace some of the existing tutorials with this new style of tutorial in future updates.



We have added a new random encounter system that can trigger at the end of non-boss battles in Explore and Delves.
