Version History

Change list

Reproduced from the developer's release notes.

• Hey Tower Defenders! We are excited to share our v28 update with all of you. We are rolling out the build on Android now, and iOS will be rolling out within the next two day. This update should be fully available for all players by Thursday. Additionally, we will be enforcing a version lock for the tournament at the end of the week. Here is a look at the changes:
• Introducing: Dissonance! This is a new layer to Tier gameplay that presents a fun challenge, and a bonus to help push for further milestones. Dissonant Runs represent a new difficulty setting that can be applied to a Tier. Doing so disables a selected workshop tab (Attack, Defense, Utility, or Ultimate Weapons). Based on how far you progress, the related stat is boosted for that specific tier.
• The stats are:
• Attack Workshop → Attack
• Defense Workshop → Health
• Utility Workshop → Coins
• Ultimate Weapon Workshop → UW Damage
• Dissonance is unlocked at Tier 4 Wave 90. Once unlocked, you will have access to select this modifier for all unlocked Tiers. At Tier 17, Wave 60, you'll unlock four Dissonant Echo labs for each workshop type (Attack, Defense, Utility, Ultimate Weapon). These labs apply a percent of each tier's Dissonant Boost to your Tower. Unlocking Dissonance rewards you with a starting 0.5% Echo boost. Click on the Dissonant Boosts section on the Battle menu for an expanded panel.
• Bots are getting a lot of attention this update! To start, we have moved the Bots menu to its own tab in the Events page. This allows us more space to expand the feature, like so:
• A new Bot has entered the arena: Bot Bot! This new bot increases the effects of other bot effects within the radius, and has four stats: Range, Cooldown, % Increase, and Duration.
• Bots are getting an upgrade! The Bot+ feature gives each bot a new specialized ability. Bot+ is available when all Bots are unlocked. Each bot has its own Bot+ ability, which requires a one-time purchase using stones to unlock. Once the ability is unlocked, it can be upgraded further using medals. If you opt to respec your bots, all medals will be returned as usual, even if invested in the Bot+ stats. Unlocking the bot again will give you access to your Bot+ ability (without needing the stone purchase again).
• The five new Bot+ abilities are Wildfire, Titan Shock, Bonus Cells, Echoing Shot, and Maximum Power. Descriptions can be found in the Changelog below.
• Unlocking all five Bot+ abilities grants you access to Synchronicity , a stone upgrade that allows you to assign bots to have synchronized pathing. Unlocking Synchronicity grants you two slots, with each additional slot costing stones. Bots can be freely assigned into these slots so long as you have them unlocked.
• We have added in a new mechanic that amps up the difficulty of your run at higher waves. When you have successfully cleared Wave 4500 on any Tier, you will see an Overheat button on your Battle screen. This panel will define when the Overheat conditions will occur, and what the Overheat conditions are. This feature is designed to reduce the overall duration of a run in tiers and tournaments. This isn't a "game end" state when reaching this wave, but be prepared to face the heat!
• ------------
• Hi! Quick example of how Overheat starts:
• Tier 1 Wave 15000
• Tier 10 Wave 12750
• Tier 20 Wave 10250
• Thanks!
• For normal tiers, the only change is that the Enemy Skip Decay Overheat condition kicks in at a defined wave. The panel will appear once you've cleared Wave 4500, but won't go into effect until much later in your run. Check the Heat button on each Tier more information.
• Overheat will appear in tournament runs as well, and can be viewed in the existing Heat button. We have added 4 new Overheat Conditions that will only appear in tournaments:
• Damage Decay: Tower Damage is reduced every 10 waves
• Health Decay: Tower Health is reduced every 10 waves
• More Fleets: An additional Fleet spawns every 100 waves
• More Elites: An additional Elite spawns every 5 waves
• We will be introducing a new Relic section in the Event Store starting on April 14th, 2026. This section will feature older relics from previous runs. Each week will feature four relics: two Rare and two Epic. These relics cost gems: 600 gems for Rare relics, and 1200 gems for Epic relics. This section of the Event Store will feature free and premium event relics earned from completing event missions, excluding most relics earned via medals. After a period of time, event relics will be added into the pool of options.
• Note : This section rotates every week, so make sure to check it at the beginning and middle of an active event!
• Added 5 new Bot+ abilities: Wildfire : Enemies hit by Flame Bot become Enflamed in addition to Burned, receiving {0}x extra damage. Duration of the damage amplification depends on current Flame Bot damage. Titan Shock : Enemies struck by Thunder Bot have a permanent {0}% decreased attack speed. This value is multiplied by the number of digits in the enemy's mass. Bonus Cells : Elites killed in Golden Bot range grant {0}x more Cells. Echoing Shot : Tower Bullets within Range count as {0} bullets. Ultimate Weapon projectiles are also boosted, but by 1/3. Maximum Power : Boosts the Bot+ abilities of other bots by {0}x.
• Bot's move speed is no longer dependent on its cooldown, and they now move while active
• 3 new levels to Golden and Amplify Bot Range
• Improved the in-run stats to make the values more intuitive and player friendly
• Added new stats and stat categories Simplified the Battle Report to focus on time (Game and Real time), Coins, Coins per hour, Cells, and Cells per hour, and recategorized Included more "fun" stats, including records like Largest Wave Skip and Largest Golden Combo
• Added Golden Tower VFX toggle to the Toggles menu
• Damage reduction from Flame Bot now correctly applies to Tanks
• The process to pick Tournament Battle Conditions for Legends has been slightly adjusted
• Death Defy no longer rolls if the tower is already invincible (i.e. During Demon Mode)
• Fixed an issue where medals not claimed from an Event were sometimes not doubled by the Event Boost
• Fixed a bug where auto-reroll would fail to stop the re-rolling process when multiple conditions are selected, causing unintentional Reroll shards to be spent We've added a check to auto-reroll where it will automatically stop once any of the selected conditions are met
• Fixed an issue where Overcharge ignores Wall invincibility
• Fixed an issue where Ranged enemies failed to attack the Tower within the Black Hole for players without the "Black Hole Disables Ranged Enemies" research completed
• Fixed Spotlight not affecting all enemies (specifically all summoned enemies)
• Fixed an issue where standard perk bonuses did not apply to Cash or Absolute Defense perks
• Fixed an issue where the Module level up screen shows a different Coin rounding logic for the Coin display
• Demon Mode now accurately states that it provides a 300x boost to projectiles during its period of invincibility
• The in-game store should now correctly display prices in your local currency instead of in USD
• Improved local notifications to prevent inaccurate and duplicate notifications from occurring

• Implemented general UI improvements regarding iOS's dynamic island
• Guild Chat no longer rapidly scrolls to the bottom of your recent messages
• Added in a popup for a player who has been removed from a Guild informing them about said removal
• Fixed an issue where players were unable to change their themes back to the Default option
• Oh, and v28 is just the beginning. We've already got another build in the works in the next two weeks - more polish, more fixes. We'll have a look at what's ahead in an upcoming Tower Tea, so stay close. Okay, that's actually it now. Bye, have fun, we love you!
• solving problems with saving records?
• We've identified an issue with our Dissonant Bonus values upon release that is granting a larger coin bonus than expected. While we recognize that this is a difficult change and we never intend to take away power from the players, these adjustments are necessary to maintain the competitive integrity we had imagined. We will be adjusting this value live; however, this unfortunately affects our other workshop bonuses. Here is a look at what will immediately change, and what the intended end goal is: Dissonant Run's maximum bonuses will be decreased from 5x to 2x. This effect will be visible for all players on the current build. In our upcoming v28.0.3 update, we will fix the maximum bonuses for Attack, Defense, and Ultimate Weapon to return to its original 5x bonus. While we do not want to make the change to all areas, we want to address the coin earnings issue and not create a larger earnings gap. To summarize:
• Temporary adjustments to Dissonant Run maximum bonus: Attack, Defense, Utility, and Ultimate Weapons are set to 2x
• v28.0.3 adjustments: Utility at 2x, Attack, Defense, and Ultimate Weapon at 5xWe are finalizing content for our v28.0.3 update now, and hope to deliver additional improvements next week. Additional content that will be covered in the upcoming hotfix includes adjustments to stunning effects overtime, improvements on our Bot+ abilities, a fix for Flame Bot's Damage Reduction, and UI improvements for Dissonant Runs. We appreciate your patience and understanding on this one, and hope everyone is having fun exploring the new features.
• Hey pals. I wanted to come back and give you a little more context on what happened, because you deserve it. When we were in late beta, we made a decision to increase the Attack, Defense, and UW bonuses. The coin bonus was always meant to stay at 2x - it just got caught up in that change when it shouldn't have. We missed that, and it shouldn't have gone live, which is why we had to do the quick correction. We hear you, and we are bringing the Utility bonus up to 3x, and will be giving a gift of gems to all players as well. This means all four bonuses will be at 3x in the current live version. Here's where things are headed:
• Attack, Defense, and UW bonuses are coming back to 5x in v28.0.3, which we're aiming to get out next week.
• That same update includes Bot+ improvements, the Flame Bot DR fix, stun adjustments, and Dissonant Run UI improvements.I've read every comment. I see what you're saying, and I'm bringing it all back to the team. We will have more info in the upcoming Tower Tea. Thank you for being here. Sam.
• Hey Tower Defenders! We are rolling out a hotfix now. This version includes fixes to our Dissonant Boosts, ensuring that our Attack, Defense, and Ultimate Weapon maximum bonuses are 5x.
• We decided to split up the upcoming fix to ensure that this gets to players faster. 28.0.4 is still slated for next week, and this update will include a larger number of improvements and bug fixes.
• To confirm the Dissonant Boost maximum values:
• Attack = 5x
• Defense = 5x
• Utility = 3x
• Ultimate Weapons = 5x
• Finally, the next tournament will be version locked to 28.0.2 and above.
• That's a wrap on this one, but we've got more coming. Stay tuned for Monday's Tower Tea for a peek at what's ahead.
• Hello Tower Defenders, it's update time! Let's dive into the new content:
• Rollout begins today with the goal to have it to 100% of players by 11 AM CST tomorrow
• A new enemy type has invaded higher tiers! Fleets is a new enemy type that spawns in Tiers 14 and up. This new enemy type has a large amount of health, bringing a new challenge to battles. Fleets approach your Tower with a group of enemies, and are not impacted by direct targeting. Fleets spawn less often at lower tiers, and more frequently at higher ones.
• Commander: A passive unit that stays outside of the Tower's range, empowering enemy health within its area of effect.
• Overcharge: An attacker that stops outside of the Tower's range, shooting a returning projectile that doubles its power with each subsequent hit.
• Saboteur: A specialized unit that latches onto the Tower, disabling a random UW on impact and restoring the UW when it is defeated.
• We have added Tiers 19, 20, and 21 into the game. These new tiers are paired with new milestones and a stronger presence of Fleets. Here’s a look at the new content available:
• The newest card, Area of Effect, increases AOE damage to specific sources: Inner Land Mine, Poison Swamp, Smart Missile, Flame Bot, and Land Mine. Area of Effect Mastery increases the range of all damage area of effects, and unlocks additional research.
• This card is unlocked as a mastery reward at Tier 20. Additionally, the prerequisites for unlocking Card Mastery stays at 30 maxed cards, so your access to Card Mastery is not impacted by new milestone content.
• The Assist Modules feature unlocks as a milestone reward in Tier 19, Wave 40. Players can spend stones to unlock an Assist Module slot for each module type. When an Assist Module slot is unlocked, you can equip a module that matches that slot type.
• Assist Modules maintain their Main Effect, Unique Effect, and Substats at a reduced efficiency. You can increase the efficiencies of these values with stones and through lab research (unlocked Tier 19, Wave 50). You won’t be able to equip modules that share the same name.
• We have a number of new labs available as milestone unlocks, including:
• Enhancement Coin Discount labs for Attack, Defense, and Utility,
• Attack and Health labs for Ray, Vampire, and Scatter,
• Ranged Enemy Range lab (added at Tier 13, Wave 80),
• Assist Module labs for Substat and Bonus efficiencies across all four types,
• Four groups of Battle Condition Reduction labs, reducing the effect of specific Battle Conditions by a percentage.,
• Assist Modules have introduced another layer of power to your Tower’s build. As such, most Modules have remained unchanged. One Module, however, was due for a revision:
• Om Chip has a new Unique Effect: “Spotlight will rotate to focus a Boss. Bosses reflect the light around it to nearby enemies, increasing by x2/x4/x7/x15 the damage they receive”
• We have several new Modules being added to the game. The first module will be available in the Feature Banner on August 25, 2025 7:00 PM
• Featured Module Banners will have a two week duration, followed by a one week break. When the next Featured Module Banner goes live, the previous module will enter into the Standard Banner.
• We have two changes to existing Guardian chips:
• Ally The Ally chip has a reworked ability: Converts an enemy into an Ally Recovery Package that can heal the Tower beyond the basic Maximum Recovery amount. It’s three values have changed to Recovery Amount, Max Recovery, and Cooldown.
• Bounty (previously Steal) Steal has been renamed to Bounty and given an adjustment to its ability: Tower Guardian places a bounty on nearby non-common enemies, causing them to grant more coins on death.
• We have refactored how attack speed functions to improve its calculation across all game speeds, and to allow for infinitely high attack speeds. This change includes an improvement in attack speed performance at higher game speeds.
• Added ability for Black Hole Coin Bonus to apply to all enemies that die inside of Black Hole, even if Black Hole has no effect on them.
• Added new levels to Bots 10 levels for Amplify Bot’s Bonus and Duration 10 levels for Golden Bot’s Bonus and Duration 10 levels for Flame Bot’s Damage 5 levels for Flame Bot Damage Reduction

• Added ELS Reduction to Tiers 14-21,
• Adjusted existing Battle Condition levels in Tier 14-18,

• Ray Ultimate: Ray shoots x% faster,
• Vampire Ultimate: Vampire drains x% faster,
• New Battle Condition in Tier 21: Mass Enforcement: Surviving enemies' mass increases by {x}% per wave they are alive,
• Tournaments have become too long from the many months of power creep. We are aiming to shorten them a considerable amount, so you don’t feel obligated to dedicate a whole day to each tournament
• Added ELS BC to Gold, Platinum, and Champion leagues,
• Adjusted ELS BC in Legends league,

A bit further into the horizon, we’ll be taking a look at the main gameplay loop. One of our goals is to make gameplay cash more impactful for late-game players.
• Guardians and Guardians Chips were designed as an accessible feature that all players can access through Guilds, and can be upgraded through consistent effort.

• We have added a new Support button in the in-game Settings menu. When issuing a ticket, your player ID and linked email will automatically be populated. From there, you can select your issue type, add in a subject line, and include a description of your issue.
• This update expanded the functionality of the Battle History feature, allowing you to delete entries. The first time you navigate to the Battle History page after updating, you’ll see a new information panel.

Note : This will not pull past Battle History logs to populate back up to the maximum of 20 entries.
• We fixed a bug where the newest tiers were not populating correctly in the in-game leaderboard. This change will be visible with a leaderboard reset. We plan to reset the leaderboard before the tournament when the build has fully rolled out.
• Added a 20 gem incentive for linking your player account.
• If you’ve already linked your account, you’ll be rewarded the gems automatically!
• Added a new behavior to delete entries in the Battle History. (See above for details.)

• Hello Tower Defenders! We have a new build going out on Android shortly, with a full roll-out shortly after. Here is a look at the upcoming changes:
• We have reworked our entire lab system! This change should address many outstanding lab issues, notably regarding offline lab speedup progress. This adjustment is fully internal and does not have any functionality or UI changes.
• The Orbital Augment module has been adjusted to specifically try and remove infinite runs:
• Adds [2/4/6/8] orbiting Electrons around the tower. Each Electron deals damage equal to 15% of the enemy's remaining health (quarter effective against Bosses and Fleets)
• This change will stop players from using Orbital Augment as the sole means to kill enemies. However, it will also make the module way stronger against more enemy types. Let's walk through some examples of what this might look like for different enemy types:
• Basics (1x wave health): The first hit will deal 15% damage, the second 12.8%, and so on. Previously, it was 10% per hit. This new formula is stronger until 7 Electron hits
• Tanks (4x wave health): The new module works the exact same way for Tanks as it does for Basics. Previously, it was 2.5% per hit. This new formula is stronger until 40 Electron hits
• Bosses (20x wave health): The first hit will deal 3.75% damage, the second 3.6%, and so on. Previously, it was 0.5% per hit. This new formula is stronger until 200 Electron hits
• In addition to the changes, we have also worked on a fix to the Electrons desyncing as a result of a longer game session. We have also added Electron Damage in the stats panel.
• We are now adding fleets to all tiers. Tier 1 will have Fleets starting at wave 15,000, and each subsequent tier will have Fleets appear 250 waves earlier (T2 = 14,750, T3 = 14,500, etc). Once they appear, they will spawn every 100 waves.
• We are continuing to develop systems that make the higher waves at each tier more challenging. There was a section in today's Monday Morning Announcement about TTG's stance on Infinite Runs. Additionally, in the next few updates, we will aim to improve tournament run length. We want to ensure it remains competitive and fun, while reducing its duration overall.
• Implemented a lab refactor to resolve issues including offline research syncing,
• Adjusted Orbital Augment’s description and gameplay:,
• Adds [2/4/6/8] orbiting Electrons around the tower. Each Electron deals damage equal to 15% of the enemy's remaining health (quarter effective against Bosses and Fleets),
• Fixed an issue where Electrons would desync over the course of a longer run,
• Added Electron Damage to stats panel,
• Added Fleets to all Tiers at higher waves,
• Adjusted the Stone Pack offer to feature icons instead of text,
• Fixed a UI issue where the “Game Paused” message overlaps in some menus,
• Fixed a UI issue where the the Milestone Pass description did not indent into a new line, making the description too small,
• Fixed an issue were enemy mass did not fit in the Info Panel screen,
• Fixed an issue where the new Support panel unpauses a paused run,
• Adjusted the date displays in Battle History and tournaments so it correctly localizes to the player’s region.
• Hello Tower Defenders! We are rolling out our last minor update of the year now on Android, with iOS rolling out within the next day. This build should be fully available to everyone tomorrow. Here’s a look at the changes:
• We have added a new "Toggles" menu to replace our current "Hit Texts" button in the Settings. Some existing buttons, such as 120FPS and Cinematic of Idle have moved into this menu, while Sound and Music will remain in the Settings menu. Here is a look at our current list of toggles:
• Added Auto Pause in Menus,
• Added Stone Confirmation,
• Turning off this toggle will remove the confirmation for stone purchases that costs 100 stones or more,
• Added Gem Confirmations,
• Same as Stones, but for Gem purchases equal to or greater than 200,
• Added Ranged Enemy Shooting Line,
• Added Show Cinematic Gems,
• Added Brighter Spotlight,
• Auto Restart has been removed from the end of round screen and added to this section for players who have unlocked this Vault upgrade,
• We have made some improvements to our Labs UI. To start, we made the lab sliders into actual sliders! Setting values has become easier, with an - and + symbol on either side to make incremental changes. Additionally, we've added a new Slider filter to the Research selection screen so you can see all labs that have sliders.
• Additionally, we have fixed an issue where some longer researches were not ticking properly. This was a floating point number issue that was only apparently in some instances.
• We are adding two new permanent battle conditions to tournaments and adjusting our old Enemy Level Skip Reduction BC from all tournaments. Additionally, we are making tier scaling adjustments in Champions and Legends.
• Let’s dive into the changes:
• Description: Enemy health and attack level skip chances are reduced by [VAL]% every [N] waves.
• VAL starts at 1% and is the value that the generic Battle Condition Reduction lab will impact.
• N is the number of waves it takes between activations of the BC, and this is what the level of the BC will impact.
• Finally, the level of the BC will change based on the tournament league and not increase in strength during the run, similar to how More Bosses works.
• Legends: Level 80 => Every 20 waves, lose 1% from ELS,
• Champion: Level 60 => Every 40 waves, lose 1% from ELS,
• Platinum: Level 40 => Every 60 waves, lose 1% from ELS,
• Gold: Level 20 => Every 80 waves, lose 1% from ELS,
• Description: Enemy health and attack level skip chances are multiplied by x.[VAL],
• This new Battle Condition will be impacted by the existing Enemy Level Skip Reduction Lab (which has been renamed to Skip Reduction Lab).
• VAL is impacted by both BC labs (generic and specific) and is tied to the level of the Battle Condition:
• Legends: Level 55 => multiplied by x0.45,
• Champion: Level 40 => multiplied by x0.6,
• Platinum: Level 25 => multiplied by x0.75,
• Gold: Level 10 => multiplied by x0.9,
• The previous ELS Reduction BC has been rebranded to Skip Reduction - Subtract. It has been removed from all tournaments. It will remain untouched on the normal tiers it was already a Battle Condition for. The Skip Reduction lab will still impact this Battle Condition
• Finally, we are changing the tier scaling in the Champions and Legends league. The tier scaling will change from [1/3/5/8/11/14] to [1/3/5/8/12/17]
• Added one more Card slots that cost gems (10,000),

• Improved behavior of Critical Coin Card so it always applies to Black Hole and Thorns,
• Increase the number of Fleets for ending long runs (one additional Fleet every 1000 waves after first wave instance),
• When Fleets are introduced at later waves, only one Fleet will drop rewards in that wave even if multiple Fleets are present,
• All 3 enhancement discount labs have had their formula changed from cost / (1 + %) to cost * (1 - %),
• Primordial Collapse no longer provides double benefit on the Wall and projectiles,

• Fixed an unintended interaction with Pulsar Harvester and Orbital Augment, where equipping both OA and PH would reduce the damage of OA unintentionally,
• Fixed a visual issue where the Lab notification bubble appears before a player has unlocked Lab,
• We are excited to share that for the next month, we will be doing featured module banners for each module type! Each week, we will be featuring one module type (like Cannon), and increase the drop rates for all Epic modules of that type. Here’s the timeline:

• Hello everyone!
• We’ve got a new major version rolling tomorrow 3/3 at 10 AM CST, and will hopefully finish its rollout by the end of the day (following morning if we have to fix some things). There is a lot of new content, updates, and bug fixes, so let’s dive in.
• Guilds are coming to The Tower! Players can create their own Guild or join up to 29 other players in an existing Guild formed by someone else.
• Design Goal: Guilds were built with the game’s existing complexity in mind. We don’t want to add a super complex, chore based layer to the game with how much is already in the game. We also were very cognizant to design the reward structure to avoid super guilds of players that only pay, play a lot or are super powerful
• Rewards are fairly light and are earned by playing mostly how you would have played The Tower anyway. There’s no need to chat with your guild to get a lot out of the mechanic. I don’t want players to feel obligated to glue themselves to a new mechanic of the game endlessly, and only want something that’s going to bring more fun to the game.
• Lastly, with it being fairly light, it serves as a foundation for us to add more fun modes within it in time, but that’s to come later. We will be reviewing how the system is interacted with and reading a lot of feedback to help guide us towards growing the system.
• Chat within your guild to help develop your own custom tower strategies.
• Claim Weekly Challenge boxes to earn Guild Tokens that you can spend but also count towards your guild’s earnings for the week.
• Throughout the week, claim up to 4 Guild Chests your Guild has worked together to earn
• The new reward from Guild Chests are Guardian Bits! Guardian Bits can be spent on upgrading your new Guardian
• Guardians are the newest support system for your tower. Different chips can be equipped to empower your guardian in unique ways, and new skins will allow you to personalize the guardian to suit your tower.
• Guild Tokens can be spent on new cosmetics and personalization for your game, profile, and tower
• Unspent Guild Tokens will be auto cashed out at the end of each Guild Season (8 weeks)
• The backend for cloud saves has been completely migrated to a new system. This should drastically reduce several cloud save bugs that have been experienced on and off in the past. Upon updating, players will need to log in to their account, but there should be no other noticeable changes for players. Finally, player devices will need to be connected to the internet to start the app, but they can continue runs offline once they have started playing.
• The player profile has been expanded to include guild icon and guild name. Additionally, there are personalized main menu and profile banners skins that will be available in the guild store.
• The Event Boost has been changed to include two new Premium relics. Every event players will continue to be able earn the two Relics for getting 350 and 700 medals from a single event. For those that buy the Event Boost, they can also earn an additional Epic and Rare relic.
• These relics will be rotated into events and/or guilds for purchase with currency if missed, eventually
• Both Enemy Attack Level Skip and Enemy Health Level Skip have been changed to be completely non random. For example: A 50% chance will skip every other wave with no variance.
• Both vault trees have been expanded with multiple new enhancements. The Power Tree’s expansion allows various nodes to be upgraded a second (or even third!) time.
• Tier 2 is unlockable once you have unlocked 15 Tier 1 Power Tree Nodes.
• Tier 3 is unlockable once you have unlocked 25 Tier 1 Power Tree Nodes and 15 Tier 2 Power Tree Nodes
• Both of these upgrades have a one time purchases associated with them
• New modules have been added to the game.
• Design Goal: Don’t fear about them muddying the current pool of modules you are searching for already. We’ve added a way to focus on finding these new modules (as well as older modules as they rotate into the new banner system)
• We currently have 4 new modules coming, but they will be introduced over time and will rotate into the banner system, with one new one available at update time
• We’ve also used this chance to improve a lot of the module system
• Now there are two module banners to choose - the featured and the standard. Standard is the same as before, while the Featured Banner will have a specific Module highlighted.
• Gems spent on the featured banner will have a much higher chance of resulting in the highlighted module.
• Any time a module is featured, it will have two weeks as a focus.
• Currently, new modules can only be obtained through the featured banner, but they will be added to the standard banner later.
• Any module that you already have at Ancestral (5 Stars) will have a substantially lower chance to appear.
• Once you have a module at Ancestral (5 Stars), you can shatter other modules with that exact effect to get shards
• Additionally:
• It is now guaranteed to get at least 1 rare module every 10 pulls
• Module history allows players to see up to 150 of their previous pulls

• There are 3 types of Elite enemies:
• Vampire:
• Vampires drain Tower health constantly while they are in range. Wall and Energy Shield do not prevent this effect. While a Vampire drains the Tower, both Health Regen and Lifesteal are disabled. Vampires have high knockback resistance and drain doesn't activate thorns.
• Scatter:
• Scatter will split into smaller versions of itself when defeated. The smaller versions will then split again. Scatters have high knockback resistance.
• Ray
• Once Ray reaches Tower range, it will charge for a time before firing a powerful ray at the Tower. Rays are completely immune to knockback.
