NEW ROBOT: SHENLOU

Yan-di has re-discovered the true way of the assassin once again! With the new energy core, capable of injecting small but incredibly effective bursts of energy inside a robot’s systems, it is capable of making several teleportation jumps to its targets on the battlefield in a row! It also gains energy shielding after each jump. Now you see it... now you don't!

Pilot: Bai "WhiteStar" Xing
Starlight's Blessing. Bai Xing uses her personal Shenlou core upgrade to add additional Hit Points to the Aegis Shield every time an ability charge is used, gaining even more defense for her robot.

NEW DRONE: QINGTING

EvoLife engineers have always missed Earth insects, so they decided to draw inspiration from the majestic dragonfly when creating their new drone. Despite its lightweight body, this little bug can sting hard, making the enemy literally stand still in admiration!

Electric bite. Short-range weapon.Additional damage. This drone increases the output damage of the robot. The effect is active all the time.More Damage for Lock Down. Damage to the enemy is increased if they are affected by the Lock-Down effect.More Lock Down Duration. All Lock Down effects you apply last longer

NEW ULTIMATE EDITIONS: AO MING, GENDARME

Very soon, you will be able to complete your black-and-gold lineup with this beauty. Ultimate Ao Ming is a force to be reckoned with. It carries 4 Alpha weapons, has many more Defence Points than the original and gets a considerable bonus to movement speed when using its second ability. Ultimate Ao Ming is also the first Titan in the game to have four upgrade tracks. The fourth track allows you to reduce incoming gray damage and get some Titan Change immediately at the start of a battle.

FRIEND SYSTEM REWORK

Important: your current friend list will be reset as soon as the new system is deployed. Please save the in-game IDs of players you want to stay in touch with. You will be able to re-add them as friends quickly using the SEARCH FOR COMMANDERS tab in the CLANS interface.

In the new Friends system we are unlinking friendships from Facebook — having a Facebook account is not required anymore. You’ll be able to add any Commander to your Friends list either by knowing their game ID or just by checking their profiles after a battle. Enter the profile, tap the “Friend Request” button, wait for a response and it’s done. Simplicity is what we aim for.

To commemorate this, we added the new FRIENDLY title. You get it by befriending people and playing in Squads.

NEW TITAN: EIFFEL

A high-tech Titan with huge firepower developed by Icarus Corporation engineers. The main ability of the Titan, in addition to flight, allows you to summon additional armor and two Alpha weapons, which makes this Titan a serious opponent in the air.

On top of that, Eiffel can use its dash move for maneuverability both on the ground and in the air. Dash is an interesting mechanic, as it relies on the game physics. That means you can use it more effectively if you practice the timings to maximize your momentum.

Pilot: Jimmy Hermes Carbon Cockpit. After using abilities, the Titan's defense system is increased
Racer. Increases Eiffel speed.
Long Afterburner. The debut boost lasts longer


NEW ROBOT: CURIE

An example of the further development of teleportation technologies by Icarus engineers. Seeming fragile at first glance, the robot changes greatly when combat mode is activated as two rapid-fire autonomous turrets are teleported nearby. While those turrets stand, Curie also gets some armor plates, making it an extremely capable brawler while you’re fighting it on its turf.

Pilot: Zoe Bilotte Zoe's Touch. Curie's ability recharges faster

NEW DRONE: PASCAL

An amazing companion drone — always there to support you in battle! Bring DOOM to your enemies when it's on your side! It will protect you in critical moments and help out when you’re on the offensive with additional combat power.

On Threshold: Repair %. The robot restores a percentage of its Durability and gray damage once upon reaching a threshold of 70%/50%/30% Durability.On Kill/Assist: Bonus Damage. The robot gets a damage bonus on kills and assists. The bonus stacks up to 10 times.On Threshold: Resist. The power of the robot’s defense system is increased once upon reaching a threshold of 70%/50%/30% Durability.Additional damage. This drone increases the output damage of the robot. The effect is active all the time.
NEW WEAPON: SUBDUER

Heavy version of a rapid-firing energy machine gun. Each hit inflicts a RUST effect, decreasing robot Durability recovery from by 10% with 1 stack to by 90% with 30 maximum stacks.

NEW TITAN WEAPONS: DISCORDIA, TUMULTUS

High-speed machine gun. Its projectiles are aimed at the enemy in the targeting reticle after flying 200 meters. When the machine gun is fired continuously, it warms up and its rate of fire increases by 30%.

NEW ULTIMATE EDITIONS: FENRIR, HALO, GLORY

This September, you voted for the next Ultimate Edition in the special Community Survey, and it's in the game now!

Ultimate Fenrir is even tankier than the standard version, with a beefed-up Aegis shield and quicker movement. When you upgrade it to the maximum level, it starts taking less gray damage. You can equip it with Ultimate Glory and Corona to recreate that 2019 iconic build. And if you want to refresh your Fenrir gameplay, both Ultimate and standard, look no further than Liesel and B4R-0N-N3T.

Liesel's Strategic Mindset.Fenrir has an enhanced defense system that is immune to defense reduction, but the Aegis shield is not available.

PREMIUM ADDITIONS

Starting from this update, the Premium Subscription provides extra Daily Tasks. The math here is simple: more tasks means more resources.

Additionally, you will get a number of daily “Ad Skips”. Premium users will be able to receive Ad rewards without watching Ads a few times every day. That covers everything you can watch Ads for: speeding-up upgrades, getting extra battle rewards, completing tasks, etc. Using the skip will just give you the reward for watching outright.

All other Premium bonuses, such as extra Silver in battles and faster upgrades, will remain intact. You’ll be getting those along with the new bonuses.

NEW FEATURE: KILL ASSISTS



A quality of life addition that will appear in your battles.If you deal a lot of damage to a robot (at least 40% of its Durability), but don’t finish it off, you will get an "ASSIST" notification if the robot is destroyed within 10 seconds after that by your teammate. You also get a sweet Honor Points, resulting in more Silver after the battle. The number of Honor Points depends on your League, but it is near half of what you would get if you destroyed the enemy by yourself.

CROSS-PLATFORM SQUADS AND PRIVATE MATCHES



One of the most awaited cross-platform improvements.

After this update, you can finally meet people from other platforms in Battles, but you will also be able to fight side by side with them in one squad!

So remember all of your friends' IDs. You can all play together now, no matter what platform you use!

NEW ROBOT: DAGON



Dagon is the first robot in history with more than four weapon slots. Six light weapons combine for great combat power and allow you to quickly apply negative status effects to your opponents.

Speaking of tactics, Dagon's ability is pretty simple. The robot has a personal Aegis shield, and when you press the ability button, the shield starts to regenerate at a faster rate. Dagon also gains additional speed while the ability lasts.

NEW WEAPONS: TAMER, DAMPER, TRICKSTER, DECEIVER



Tamer and Damper are two rapid-firing energy gun variants which applies Rust effects, preventing the enemy from effectively restoring Durability. Trickster and Deceiver quickly annihilate enemies with a powerful DoT effect. All these weapons fire in unison which makes it easier to combine them into effective builds.

NEW DRONE: SEEKER



A really perceptive drone that can improve your robot in several ways. It provides a passive bonus to shield Durability, improves weapons with 200m passive Quantum Radar and provides Counterblind and Countersuppresion capabilities. These two effects activate when enemy robots attack you. All nearby attackers within 200m will be affected by Suppression and all the snipers from 600m and more will be blinded.

NEW MOTHERSHIP: MUTE



The ship was created by Icarus Technologies to disable the main systems of enemy robots and Titans. Its camouflage paintjob and numerous jammers help it to stalk outer space unnoticed until it strikes.

Shutdown: Applies Blind and EMP to enemy robots in range upon activation.

NEW TURRET: LOCK DOWN BLAST CANNON

Attack Turret. After a slight delay, the turret deals devastating area damage and applies Lock-down to enemies in the target area.

NEW ULTIMATE EDITIONS: FUJIN, AVENGER, PUNISHER T



Fujin is one of the machines instantly associated with War Robots, so we wanted to make its Ultimate version as memorable as possible.

Fujin now has 1 Heavy slot, 2 Medium slots and an Aegis shield. Ultimate Fujin moves faster and recovers some Durability while its ability is active. It can even restore a portion of grey damage. If you reach the maximum Durability the unspent repairs will be converted into shield power.

Avenger and Punisher will also receive an Ultimate version that will cause extra damage, have faster reload and less shot dispersion.

NEW PILOTS: SEVEN AND NATHAN FLEMING



Seven is a mystery. The scientists are sure that she has supernatural abilities, which is why she was kept in the EvoLife labs for a long time.

Seven's Friend: After the end of the ability, the robot heals 15% of its Durability and 10% of the Durability from the damage dealt to enemies while the ability was active.


Nathan Fleming is an intelligent and passionate scientist. He is known for his expeditions to the outer border of populated space. His ship was also where Seven was kept while her abilities were being investigated until a serious event took place.

Nathan's Support: While its ability is active, Dagon gets additional 25% shield Durability.

EVENT TITLE


Don't miss your chance to get the ALIEN event title! It's an exclusive reward which can only be acquired during the EvoLife’s Bizarre Robots event. You get to keep the title after the event ends if you fulfill all of its requirements until then.
