New Version: the Altar of Xi

Altar of Xi

In this version, you are invited to participate in the new clan event – battles against the boss! A clan’s goal in this event is to manage to kill the boss before the event ends. The event itself will start simultaneously for all the clans and will last for 24 hours.

When the boss is defeated, the victory reward is activated for the whole clan: each of the clan’s members will start any battle with one Psi charge. Besides that, a Psi charge will also be added in case of resuscitation in a battle. This bonus effect will be active until the next launch of the event. The event will be a recurrent one, and when the Altar of Xi starts gathering power again, you will see a special message in the clan chat.

Each player will have several battle attempts during which they need to try to inflict as much damage as possible upon the boss to help their clan. Apart from the common clan reward, clan members will also receive a new type of currency – the black magmatite – for the victory. Its amount will depend on the % of the damage inflicted upon the boss.

This resource can be used in the Clan Store which has appeared in a new sector on Utopia. Initially, not all the slots will be available there, but you can unlock them by defeating the Altar of Xi again and again.



Besides that, we have added a number of improvements for the clan chat:

• The chat button was added to the battle preparation screen.
• Timestamps were added to clan chat messages.
• There is now an online\offline indicator for clan members in the chat.
• On the base, you can now see an indicator of how many clan members are online above the chat button.

 

The new Blake's ability
 

The development of Intelligence allows you to reduce the price of upgrading your equipment. The higher the level of Intelligence – the bigger the discount will be! It will also affect a wider range of equipment’s ranks. The discount given by Intelligence stacks with the discount that you can get be researching the linked metaprojects in the Futuris system.

Besides that, the level of Intelligence affects your ability to evolve chips. The higher the level of the ability – the higher the rank of the chips that you can evolve. The system of developing Intelligence differ from the way you develop all the other abilities. To raise its level, you have to complete the updated weapon tasks.

The remastered weapon tasks

To open the tasks menu, you will need to press the ➕ button in the ability’s line in the profile.


You can receive Intelligence points for completing the weapon tasks for each of the weapons represented in the game – and on each rank of the weapons. You can see the example of these tasks in the image. You can also get Skill points for completing weapon tasks. Besides that, you can select an additional reward after completing all the tasks on a certain rank.

Many of you have already evolved your weapons to a rank that is higher than the “starting rank”. After installing the update, such players can see, that the tasks for “older” ranks are already automatically completed and the reward is already added to the ability’s level. 
 

Other changes

You can now use the Kill Shot mechanics for a bigger variety of enemies.
 

Suppressor

When the target’s health reaches a critical low, the vulnerable spot will become visible on the grenade launcher. If you hit it with a sniper shot, the weapon gets stuck and it starts shooting grenades uncontrollably. 
As a result, the fallen fire grenades will set on fire a few patches on the ground that will inflict damage upon other enemies.
 

Supersoldier

To trigger it, you need to hit the weak spot on the Supersoldier’s fuel tank this will turn him into a huge puddle of flames in the battlefield. Besides that, you can notice in the video, that now you get an additional reward for using the Kill-shot – just like for any other battle bonus.

Adrenaline charge

You can use this new feature to boost your stats before a battle. To get access to the Adrenaline charge, you need to research technology with the same name in the Lab. After that, a new button will appear for you on the battle preparation screen.
Each  Adrenaline charge requires one flask of Adrenaline 2.0 – and each charge boosts your Endurance, Speed, Metabolism, and Precision by a certain percent. You can take three charges maximum before a battle.
 

Sturdy One

Since the introduction of the Skirmish mode, many of you have asked us to pay attention to the Sturdy One and to his unique ability.
At your request, we have changed his Assault Mode ability in this update. Now, when the ability is activated, the Sturdy One begins bombarding enemies with energy charges. You can see what it looks like in this video!
