Welcome back, Empires & Puzzles warriors! In today’s update spotlight, we’re diving into the exciting new content introduced in Empires & Puzzles Beta V78.3. This update brings four major additions to the game, including new passive skills, a brand-new Kalevala Raid Brawl, improved alliance features, and the introduction of eight powerful heroes from the Kalevala and Liangshan families.

🛡️ New Passive Skills Introduced in Beta V78.3

1. Minion Blind (Woodland Faun Family Passive)

One of the key highlights of this update is the addition of two brand-new passive skills.
First up is an additional passive for Woodland Faun heroes, called Minion Blind.

What does Minion Blind do?

• All enemies’ Minions suffer from -75% accuracy
• All enemies’ Mega Minions suffer from -50% accuracy

This debuff dramatically reduces the effectiveness of enemy Minions in battle. It synergizes well with the previously introduced Minion Wound passive in Beta V78.2, which gradually reduced Minion and Mega Minion HP. This new direction suggests that we may soon see passives targeting Attack Minions and other special minion types.

2. Health Boost on Critical Special Attack

The second passive is called Health Boost on Critical Special Attack.

How it works:

• When a hero lands a Critical Hit with their Special Skill, it grants a 10% health boost to all allies.
• This passive can activate once per turn.

This passive acts as an overheal, making it a great match for Liangshan heroes, many of whom are known for enhancing critical hit rates. It introduces new opportunities for creative synergy within your team compositions.

⚔️ Kalevala Raid Brawl – Boosted Heroes, New Rules!

The second major update is the launch of the Kalevala Raid Brawl event.

What Makes This Brawl Special?

During this event, Kalevala family heroes receive significant buffs:

• Increased Attack, Defense, Health, and Mana Generation
• Immunity to Mana reductions and Status Ailments that impact Mana generation or block Special Skills

New Family Rule – Accuracy Debuff!

A new Kalevala Family rule has also been introduced:

• When a Special Skill deals damage, the target receives -30% accuracy for 2 turns

This makes Kalevala heroes incredibly powerful in this event, offering both offense and disruption.

How to Open the Brawl Chest:

To unlock the Brawl Chest, players must achieve 50 wins. Wins can be earned in either Raid Mode or the Hero League event, so make sure to grind strategically.

🏰 Alliance Feature Updates – Know Your Team Better

The third update introduces two helpful features to the Alliance system:

1. Alliance Activity Panel

This new panel shows the percentage of alliance members recently online. It’s perfect for players looking to join active and engaged alliances.

2. Average Power Indicator

This panel provides an estimate of the average team power across your alliance members. It’s a handy metric for gauging strength and competitiveness.

✅ These features are great for alliance leaders and players who are trying to join serious, active, and communicative groups.

🌟 8 New Heroes – Kalevala and Liangshan Families Expanded!

The final part of this update is the release of eight new heroes. Six are from the Kalevala family, while two are new additions to the Liangshan (Outlaws of the Water Margin) family.

Kalevala Heroes:

• Joukahainen Costume – The Frozen Hunter

• Lemminkäinen Costume – The Fading Champion

• Ilmarinen Costume – The Expert Artificer

• Louhi Costume – The Mistress of the North

• Suomuhaki – The Hulking Pike

• Mother Lemminkäinen – The Champion’s Savior

Liangshan Heroes:

• Lu Zhishen – The Flowery Monk of Water Margin

• Sun Erniang – The Strong Star of Water Margin
