Hey everyone, lemmingllama here. Last week we went over the changes coming to the skill tree in the 5.22.0 update. This week, we’ll be delving into the other changes coming, including some highly requested quality of life features. Let’s get into it!
To start off with, there will be two new equipment sets introduced in the 5.22.0 update. Starting off, we have the Headless Horsemaster legendary equipment set. In addition to the spooky design with our first headless Sword Master, this set will give two large bonuses to Shadow Clone builds when your Deadly Strike spell is active. Firstly, you’ll gain a boost to your Shadow Clone Damage when Deadly Strike is active. Secondly, you’ll gain more Shadow Clone Splash Count when Deadly Strike is active, helping players splash through more titans and stages.
Additionally, we have the even more spooky Bone Knight event equipment set, which will increase your Shadow Clone Damage when you have completed it. All the former Halloween event equipment will also be returning in this update, allowing players to complete the sets that they had missed previously.
Speaking of equipment sets, there is another change being made that corresponds to an equipment set change. As of the 5.22.0 update, players will no longer require The Sly Wolf legendary set to have their inactive progression reach 99% of their max stage. By default, players will now be able to reach up to 99% of their max stage while progressing inactively with Silent March. This bonus on The Sly Wolf is being replaced with a Critical Damage bonus, helping give some additional power to go with the extra Sneak Count that the set provides.
Inactive Progression isn’t the only progression that’s being smoothed out for players. We are reworking Clan Loyalty as well to help reduce the time it takes to reach higher Clan Loyalty levels, as well as helping frontload the amount of Advance Start % that players receive from their Clan Loyalty. This will help make it easier to change clans, while still maintaining the core concept of staying loyal to your clan for additional bonuses.
In addition to reworking the Advance Start bonuses, we are also tweaking how players can earn Stage Rush and other bonuses when they prestige. Players will now earn both Stage Rush and Event Currency at 98% of their max stage, helping unify when these are received and lowering the requirements to farm up additional Stage Rush.
Lastly, we are making some changes to how VIPs collect Fairy Video Ads. Currently VIP 3 or above players can instantly collect a Video Ad’s rewards without viewing the advertisement, or close that Video Ad by tapping on the X button. However, this has left some players accidentally closing the Video Ad panel and not collecting their rewards. As such, all players with VIP 3 or above will now automatically collect the Video Ad rewards even if they exit the Video Ad panel, ensuring that they get maximum value.
Hopefully you’re all excited with these changes, and we’ll have more details about the upcoming skill tree changes next week. See you then!
Happy Tapping!
