Welp, another Update Recap, woohoo! This one will be noticeably shorter than the last (1.1.7 to 1.1.39), even though it covers 8 more versions. This is due to the majority of the versions recently having been just bug fixes. I lack the mythical powers of 5 hour energy this time around, so let's get right into it. Once again, I will only be covering significant game and balance changes.
Update 1.1.46: SW Clan chats. Self-explanatory, communicate with your clan because now they're actually important, will get to that later.
Update 1.1.48: The Celestial Wrath update. With this update, Celestial Wrath entered the game, as well as Neko's Reinforcements, and SW Arena became free for everyone.
- Celestial Wrath - This unit is obtained by leveling 3 Arcane Wrath's to rank 7, and then combining all 3 to form a single Celestial Wrath. It has this unique ability (Star Shower) where it can spray the entire field with projectiles every so often. Happens too slow to be that good for PvP, but with its shield, healing, and relatively high base HP, it makes a pretty good tank. I'd consider it a solid pick for all base types.
- Neko's Reinforcements - A semi-hidden skill upgrade, you have to level Attack Drones to like 11, and the name changes to Neko's Reinforcements and spawns 3 drones instead of just 1. Not really useful, but still cool to have.
- Free Arena - The Bonus Content exclusive Arena has been moved to be free for everyone! Free stuff! Joy.
Update 1.1.53: Celestial Wrath and Assassin buffs, along with the entrance of Wasp into the meta.
- Buffs - Gonna be honest, I haven't seen the buffs having any impact on the meta (Celestial Wrath was already meta), so we're just gonna ignore them so I can type less
- Wasp - Scorpion's fresh new rank 7 evolution. Fun. Gives me flashbacks to the bulldozer base meta. Wasps don't have the range to be spammable, but having some 2 to 4 at the top of your base will obliterate enemy defensive lines.
Update 1.1.76: Rise of the SW Clans (Kaboclones still best clan, yeet), and a new rare enemy.
- Rare Enemies - Yea I'm gonna be completely honest, I have no clue if the rare enemy mentioned in this patch description is the Vertigo or Nox Exploder, but both are pretty annoying. Vertigo's this giant green wall which spews healing orbs to enemies behind it, along with having hundreds of thousands of HP. A single one can ruin your day if you lack sufficient firepower. As for Nox Exploder, I've personally yet to encounter one, but I hear that it's very fast, very hard to kill, and can actually displace your units. More fun.
- SW Clan Rares - Two new rare units have entered the fray! They are obtainable only through battling in the SW Clan Arena, and beating "formidable" opponents, which will never be an easy fight (EDIT: Unless you're in Kaboclones). Upon victory, you have a chance of getting the unit deposited into your Unit Bank. Good news, both units are slightly OP. These units are Nevas Defense, a diagonal wall with strongest regenerative abilities of any defense in the game, and Vira Drone, the strongest healer in the game (Vira Ultima heals less, but the HP buff it grants your base is still essential). Fun Fact: the units have a higher chance of dropping in higher ranks, so make sure you get into a good clan. A lot of them hang around in the discord server so JOIN THE DISCORD.
Conclusion: Celestial Wrath and Wasp put in the game as rank 7 unit evolutions, Nox Exploder and Vertigo as nuisances, and Nevas Defense and Vira Drone as SW Clan Arena exclusive rares. All design credit goes to their appropriate creators, a lot of concepts these days involve collaboration and if I accidentally only give credit to one of the collaborators then I'll get made fun of and lose all my clout, which is absolutely unacceptable.
Sorry for the lack of humor this recap, school sucks me dry of all emotion. Catch y'all in another few dozen updates :]
