To help you navigate easily, deep-dive links are provided where necessary. Let’s dive in!

🐉 15 & 16-Star Titans Update

The first major change is the update to 15 and 16-star Titans — specifically Titan versions like:

• Scorpion Queen
• Guardian Hydra
• Nether Bird
• Lava Golem
• Candle Golem

These Titans now gain a new passive ability called “Dread”, which causes fixed damage per turn to Minions and Mega Minions at the start of each turn.

Additionally, their resistance to all status ailments and buff dispels has been reduced from 50% to 20%, making them more manageable in battle.

What’s more — these Titans now offer a new Titan Bounty Bonus reward, with guaranteed better loot than before!

☀️ Solstice Summon Update – New Legendary Heroes

The second update focuses on the Solstice Summon Portal.

From this version on, the summon will only feature legendary heroes released within the last 683 days — making your pulls more relevant and valuable.

Even more exciting, this patch introduces two brand-new legendary heroes from the upcoming Mahayoddha family:

• Bhima – the Son of Vayu

• Chitrangada – the Warrior Princess of Manipura

These two are equipped with family bonuses, new passives, and unique mechanics that are expected to shake up the game’s meta. They will be officially featured in an upcoming event in 2025.

⚔️ War of the Three Kingdoms Update – Outlaws of Liangshan Arrive!

The War of the Three Kingdoms is also getting a big refresh in this update.

This time, the event introduces six new heroes from the Outlaws of Liangshan family, inspired by the legendary Chinese epic, Water Margin:

• Song Jiang – The Timely Rain of Water Margin

• Li Kui – The Iron Ox of Water Margin

• Ruan Xiaoqi – The Destruction Star of Water Margin

• Chao Gai – The Heavenly King of Water Margin

• Gu Dasao – The Female Tiger of Water Margin

• Liu Tang – The Red-haired Devil of Water Margin

Each of these heroes comes with unique passives like:

• Cleanse on Critical Special Attack
• Righteous Rebellion

Also making a debut is the Red Lucky Summon Portal, along with a new currency: Red Lucky Coins. A full breakdown of this feature will be covered in a separate blog and video, including the upcoming Summer Solstice Summon.

🛡️ New Garrison Guard Heroes

The fourth update adds two new heroes to the Garrison Guard family:

• Ciara – The Exacting Commander

• Godfrey – The Garrulous Guardsman

These new characters bring fresh gameplay strategies. I’ll be reviewing them in a detailed spotlight video and blog post soon — stay tuned and don’t forget to subscribe to updates!

💬 Chat Feature Update – Thumbs Up (Like) Button!

Next up is a quality-of-life improvement for the Chat menu.

Players can now like chat messages by tapping on a comment and hitting the thumbs-up button. This long-requested social feature helps create more interaction and engagement within the game chat.

While simple, it adds a new layer of communication. Hopefully, this is just the beginning — maybe we’ll see emotes or chat recalls in future patches!

🛡️ Raid Info Button Added

The sixth update is the addition of a much-needed Raid Info Button.

This new button provides a quick guide for players who are just starting with the Raid feature. While experienced players might already know all the ins and outs, this is a helpful improvement for beginners.

It’s a classic “better late than never” situation — and it definitely deserves a thumbs up for improving the new player experience.

🐲 Dragonspire Province Update – Ultimate Boss Fight!

The final update brings a thrilling new challenge to the Dragonspire Campaign Mode.

Provinces 10, 13, and 15 now feature Ultimate Boss Fights — making the campaign stages feel more intense and rewarding.

These boss fights are designed to mimic the mechanics of Titan battles or traditional boss encounters, forcing players to plan smarter strategies to succeed. It’s a great step to keep campaign content from feeling repetitive, especially when enhanced Power Stones are available on the board.
