We’ve just heard the good news! Update 1.8.0 has been submitted to the Play and App stores — and will be live and ready for play as soon as it’s been reviewed and approved.
Here is what you can expect in 1.8.0
- Shadow Clone will have a large buff as well as a new secondary effect: it will now gain the ability to trigger Mana Siphon and Lightning Strikes when these skills are unlocked and active. Each level of Shadow Clone will have an increased chance to trigger these effects per second. Additionally, Shadow Clone DPS has been increased by at least 2x for all levels, and the minimum mana cost has been increased to 4.
- Mana Siphon has been fixed to be roughly 3x more effective now, and also includes a new visual feedback when the effect triggers.
- War Cry will give larger bonuses, specifically related to heroes and clan ship damage; the bonus damage given to pets and other related skills will remain exactly the same as it is in v1.7.0. Additionally, the attack speed bonus given to heroes will strictly depend on the level of War Cry itself, so you will need to level it up to increase your hero attack rate!
- Heroic Might redone! Each level of Heroic Might now selects a hero and increases its individual DPS by your total hero DPS. This means that each selected hero will be one of your strongest heroes for the duration of War Cry. For example, level 5 Heroic Might will randomly select 5 of your heroes to do maximum damage when War Cry is activated.
- Ultra Heroes has new visuals, does increased damage, and now receives an additional bonus from War Cry. Additionally, each sequential orb bounce does increased damage, so increasing the number of bounces will also increase the maximum damage per bounce.
- Make it Rain/Clan Crate Gold has been given a major boost! The amount of gold reward now takes into account your maximum prestige stage, which makes them very powerful to use immediately after prestiging. Additionally, clan crates specifically gives even more gold when used at your maximum prestige stage.

Tournaments
Over the past few months, we have been investigating the various tournament conflicts and errors players (e.g. Error 403). We understand that during the previous update, there was a widespread tournament access issue, which caused many to be unable to participate. This has been identified and should not occur again. Furthermore, the long-time rewards issue (i.e. receiving the wrong prizes, despite finishing at MS 4000) has been resolved with the current update.
But again, if you do experience any tournament problems, please contact support through the options panel in your game so we can help investigate!
