New Content: New Tournament upgrade to reduce Automation upgrade times. Changes: Reduced Automation upgrade times for the first 5 levels of each Stat Boost upgrade (damage, gold, energy, and exp) to help new players build a decent stack of these functions quicker and earlier. Reduced the requirements of the Auto Claim Active Play Bonus Function so that the Reward Bonus upgrade is fully attainable for F2P players. Reduced Supreme Alien automation wave requirement from 45k to 40k. Capped Automation upgrade times to a max of 20 days (before reduction upgrades are applied). This makes some of those super long end-game upgrade times more reasonable. Bug Fixes: Fixed various minor UI issues.

New Content: You can now play the game in up to 8 different languages (and more are coming soon)! Change your language selection in the Settings menu to experience the game in your native language. Added new upgrades to almost every Automation Function to increase bonuses, add super procs, improve active play bonuses, increase Prestige Intro Skip, spawn Golden and Supreme Bosses, etc. Changes: Removed all boss stalling strategies (you can’t spawn new bosses manually or from Automation until the previous set was killed). Stalling was super OP, so this may feel like a nerf, but several changes were made in an attempt to balance the loss. Removing stalling was heavily favored by 95% of the community. More buffs to bosses will be coming in a later patch. Changed the mechanics of the stat boost Automation Functions (damage, gold, energy and exp) to allow them to stack to MUCH higher values.…
- Patch v15.22 - Bug Fixes - 19 June 2026

Changes: Reduced the 2x Reward Procs on Supreme Ultimus challenge requirements from 35 to 25. Changed the description of the “Purchase all Leaderboard Icons” challenge to just "Purchase Leaderboard Icons" because you don't need all of them (just 110 out of 114). Changed the server save/load system to avoid future issues related to file sizes and server limits. Bug Fixes: Fixed bug with the average super/ultra energy calculations. This should boost most of your energy gains from skills, spells, mimics, and power mages (but wave income is not affected). Fixed bug with skill cooldowns increasing, rather than decreasing, if your synergy or milestone bonuses were too high. Fixed bug where the 10m kills on all melee heroes challenge was not applying the +250% bonus damage reward correctly. Fixed bug where the Mimic Prestige Bonus from the new leaderboard icon was not applying the bonus correc…

- Patch v15.13 - Extended Battlepass and Offline Reward Changes - 2 May 2026
New Content: The Battlepass now goes up to Lv. 100+ and contains tons of new powerful resources, such as Supreme Tech, Supreme Tokens, and Mastery Points! Changes: Slightly rebalanced many of the Battlepass rewards. They may have increased or decreased for you depending on what stage of the game you're at due to how they scale with your progress. The permanent Rank Exp rewards in particular received a huge buff. If you had previously claimed these Rank Exp rewards already, you'll be able to reclaim them again now with the much larger bonus. Prestige Power is now automatically included in your Offline Progress rewards again (no need to spend gems on an upgrade to unlock it). If you had already spent gems on that previously required unlock, they will be automatically refunded. The gem cost of adding the other resources to offline rewards (runes, tech, battlepass exp, and mastery points) w…
- Patch v15.12 - Offline Progress Changes, Balance Adjustments, and Bug Fixes - 30 April 2026
New Content:Added new upgrades to the Gem menu to buff offline progress and resources (such as adding Battlepass exp and Mastery exp to it). Changes:Rebalanced the Community Event values to scale based on how many players actively participate in these events each week. They are also now fully customizable from the server-side, so I can tweak them as needed. Prestige Power, Runes, and Tech Scrolls are no longer automatically included in your offline progress rewards. You must unlock these via upgrades in the Gem menu. Only the base resources (gold, energy, and rank exp) are initially included in your offline progress gains. QoL Improvements:Adjusted the way late-game upgrades are hidden when they are far out of reach (locked behind much further waves or ranks than you can achieve). Added an info box to the Mimic Spawn Chance text in the Astral Boss Map Perks (because some players might n…

Changes: Added a max stack limit to several mastery skill bonuses. Kill enemy tasks/missions/challenges/etc. now include ALL enemies, including bosses and ultra bosses (it previously only counted normal mob kills). Automation is now unlocked at wave 1k, rather than 2k. Only a few functions are available at wave 1k, and their energy costs to unlock and upgrade have been reduced to be more affordable at these lower wave requiremen…

The goal of this patch is to speed up energy gains for mid-game players, and to balance energy farming sources for end-game players. New Content: Several new upgrades across all menus to buff the Mimic Chest Boss.

- Patch v14.22 - Minor Changes, QoL Improvements, and Bug Fixes - 2 December 2025
Changes:If splash damage from an attack is greater than the normal damage of the attack, the target enemy will also be dealt the splash damage amount (since it is higher). Previously, the target enemy would only be dealt the normal attack damage, meaning sometimes they'd be dealt less damage than the nearby enemies affected by the splash.QoL Improvements:Added a continuous spawn checkbox for Ancient Shadow and Exotic Aliens in the minimized Ultra Boss menu.Added Ultimus spawns and cooldown info to the minimized Ultra Boss menu.Added colored buttons to the fullscreen Hero Details menu to better display heroes that are currently active on the field.Hero Mastery requirements are now visible even if the hero is not at the required rank.Added "Immune" texts when Supreme Ultimus is hit while he is changing types (he is immune to ALL damage for about 1 second during his transition animation).B…

Bug Fixes: Fixed the hero menu displaying 0 damage, attack speed, and skill duration (this wa…

It also powers up some of the original Tech Tree upgrades, making Tech Scrolls more useful again.Supreme Alien Boss: After unlocking the Supreme Tech Tree, there is a small chance of spawning a Supreme Alien boss from each manual Exotic Alien spawn, which rewards Supreme Tech Scrolls.

- Patch v13.04 (Sept 24) - Minor Changes, Balance Adjustments, and Bug Fixes - 24 September 2025
Changes: Debuff heroes can now use their skills on spawnkilled enemies, ensuring they get their skill usage off more often. If a hero's skill is active when he is removed from the map, the active skill timer will continue to decrease normally, rather than end instantly like before. This means the hero's skill can still be active if you quickly place him back on the map. Added overflow bonus for having over 100% ultra gold, exp, or energy chance. Every 1% over 100% counts as +5% towards the ultra amount (ultra critical hits already worked this way). Slightly rebalanced daily tasks and weekly missions, and added a few new ones for late game players. QoL Improvements: Added a short delay between the Weekly Community Event ending and the new one beginning.
