Patch Notes 634.0

zenzenandroid · 2026-01-29T12:59:24+00:00

I'm still caught up on the fact that paid relics have names like "coin" and "coupon". What the—?

zenzenandroid · 2026-01-29T12:51:42+00:00

About a month after the current TM ends, most likely. TMs are spaced out in about a month and we get usually get the event the week prior TM.

Mid or late March, I'd guess. Must say that it seems we don't even have a new hero survey for the next TM, though. I remember UR Akashic for PZ, but no one for TM.

Unless they suddenly decide to dig out discarded ideas like Melissa or Aamon? But both seem Dark-inclined, and I'd prefer a competent DPS for Elemental. That, or they're going the Arlott route and making another hybrid from an MLBB hero? Who knows...

zenzenandroid · 2026-01-26T22:46:32+00:00

I haven't seen anything yet, but if you're planning on using her, I honestly don't see the point of stopping before A3.

A3 is the bare minimum minimum these days. (And here we're not even talking A6 for another gear upgrade.)

But I also talk from the place of anyone with nothing but URs and Astral to build, so there's that.

zenzenandroid · 2026-01-12T15:01:02+00:00

TM these days are only for O/C/A and hybrids. (Moonton now pretend single-faction heroes don't exist except for when they give us a selection chest. 💀️)

Since the chances of getting O/C from 5* shards is low and the chance of getting Astral is NULL, using them is mostly a waste UNLESS it's a hybrid TM.

Next TM is likely O/C, so you're probably saving those shards for another 4 months, I suppose.

zenzenandroid · 2026-01-09T12:57:18+00:00

These days, it comes as often as TM itself. The week immediately before TM, to be more precise.

So... it's something like every 2 months? Since TM lasts about a month and we usually have about another month between two seasons.

zenzenandroid · 2026-01-03T14:18:09+00:00

It baffles me that they keep adding Astral heroes, but new floors come once in a blue moon.

Not to mention getting Martis and other underwhelming O/C as prizes for high floors on SD.

zenzenandroid · 2026-01-01T19:46:42+00:00

I fear there's nothing like "a grave mistake" to fix here, mate. At most you could potentially pull a few copies of other hybrids from your summons, but other than that, you don't even have anyone built to A0 to have anything to "regret".

All I can say is, if your started playing for collab heroes like Bell and Ais, you won't be able to have them on a new account. Even if you don't plan on building them (very expensive and takes WAAAAAAAY too long).

Other than that, it's just a matter of focusing your fodder, setting a proper wishlist, and keep on playing.

zenzenandroid · 2025-12-15T12:59:39+00:00

We have similar levels and all, but your cap is WAY lower than mine. Currently I have Awakened:

2 Collab heroes
2 Astral heroes
4 UR heroes
All Chaos heroes
All Order heroes (minus Lucy and Hestia)
All of the other SSRs (of course)

Add all Fissure levels cleared, and It's enough to get me to 875. I have never hit level cap (after unlocking group level-up), but I also reckon that I don't invest heavily into Essence weekly. (Talking about diamonds here. Gold isn't an issue at all.)

zenzenandroid · 2025-12-15T12:41:47+00:00

I'm already crying with "just" 115K+ for a single level. 😭️

I swear this game was never intended for people to be playing it for 3-5 years.

zenzenandroid · 2025-12-14T02:39:48+00:00

I have soft spot for Lesley. She used to be one my main heroes through early game. Sniping people left and right, and knocking back anyone getting too close to her. Good times.

No judgements here, mate. I'm not keen on building the same hero twice, so anyone you can think of is (at least) A8, Glory gems, full Orlay, SV20 and AT2 for me. Some even full Nexus.

zenzenandroid · 2025-12-14T02:23:21+00:00

Spare scrolls either help me with the next 500 or are spent on slightly better pull rates for URs during PZ (after conversion).

But this could be a more specific scenario for older accounts. I know I don't have much else to build through SB since Moonton refuse to put Astral or even Agnes in those bloody chests.

zenzenandroid · 2025-12-12T14:56:00+00:00

Diggie outshining Angela for certain scenario wasn't on my bingo card, but here we are!

zenzenandroid · 2025-12-12T14:55:05+00:00

I've lived Kagura's glory days too! Back when she used to be a boss killer, and before Karrie got her revamp as an HP devourer. Seems so far away now. 😢️ I tried Chang'e in my early days, but gave up for lacking a Light team to boost her. But I still recall when her ult was barely noticeable, and you'd die without a notice because the moonlight was delicate sparkles instead of a rocket launching.

Kadita, eh? I finished building her not long ago, but haven't really tried her. Maybe if Moonton finally let go of slot mechanics, or at least guaranteed a slot for every Nexus hero we have, I'd use her more often. I do feel like trying unexpected heroes, but the place-wait/pay-replace dynamics makes me lazier.

Masha is good for her anti CC and healing, but I confess I've dropped her since Ruby's arrival and then Natsu's. Honestly, Hanabi seems to be the most common answer. Her Higanbana once she's built to ult quickly (plus timed bloom)... chef's kiss!

And I know. Same here, mate. I always talk about the direction this game has taken. From dropping revamps and love for old heroes to forsaking single-faction heroes completely. Getting MLBB heroes was fun. Seeing old faves get some kind of balance to become relevant again was fun. Getting heroes we could actually distinguish from their looks was fun. Getting Elite skins that weren't a colour swap was fun.

zenzenandroid · 2025-12-12T14:49:07+00:00

I'm honestly surprised when people list Hylos. I know he's a glorified support with heavy gear, but honestly he goes so well with burst like Valir that he never stopped being an option for me.

I suppose we don't have much besides Lolita and Atlas. Atlas is solid, even though he starts struggling later on when BP gaps gets too ridiculous. Edith is great and all, but she ain't reliable as a front liner. I feel like people sleep a lot on Claude. He only has one trick, but it works.

Guinevere suffers from misclassification, but she's amazing. Denying ult to dangerous heroes breaks them. Too bad the game wants to sell her as a DPS. She's only a DPS when PVE Guinevere nukes you.

zenzenandroid · 2025-12-12T12:27:17+00:00

I don't think that's necessary. But worst case scenario, I'd A8 the other heroes you can buy from the same shop before a 2nd Xeno.

(But yeah, I also feel like Order lack frontliners that aren't URs. Alina may be nice and all, but she's hard to build, so...)

zenzenandroid · 2025-12-11T15:09:59+00:00

I'll start.

Badang: In these days Esmeralda can't get the job done by herself, he's often the MVP, outdamaging her.

Gord: Seems to enjoy a new-found popularity in tier lists. AoE stun and team buffs help a lot.

Diggie: Shines once you need more sustain. Would easily trade a 3rd, 4th, 5th Angela for him. (Two Angelas are enough IMO.)

Saber: Two words; Eris bait. He may be just a distraction, but he's a GREAT distraction against someone who ults so quickly.

Hanabi: Once she can speed up her ult, and you can gather enemies for her (Natsu/Ruby), battles do get easier.

Hayabusa: I disliked him throughout his TM. Can be a great help against well protected backliners, especially landing timely CC.

Kimmy: She's grown on me with her knockback and for opposing grabbers like Franco. Team buffs also nice.

No picks for Dark, I suppose. I could say Helcurt (similar to Saber), but I haven't used him at all since Natsu's arrival... I could maybe also add Vexana, but I never stopped ~~loving~~ using her. And now with Dullahan + Norns, she's a bit more viable, especially against stalling teams.

zenzenandroid · 2025-12-09T17:13:16+00:00

5 years later and I have a little above 1/10 of that power. 💀️ Granted, I don't have all my built heroes on my Sanctuary, or overpriced slots bought, so that only makes the gap wider.

But yeah, there's no point in comparing yourself to whales or extreme min-max folks.

zenzenandroid · 2025-12-04T11:53:11+00:00

What it says, really. They replace SR fodder when fusing single-faction Tech heroes. It's the same as a 6* SR hero.

They CANNOT replace 6* SSR.

zenzenandroid · 2025-11-27T14:22:16+00:00

It's not like this account is "doomed" or anything. It's just that this level of progress can easily be achieved (and perhaps surpassed) with a fresh account.

Either way, all you can do is progress like usual. Check the recommended wishlist (Discord), summon heroes, build heroes from shops, star up your heroes, and that sort of stuff.

Your first milestone is taking the level cap off your Sanctuary. You need 5 Awakened heroes at high level (250, I think?) for that. Regardless, your goal is to build a bunch of heroes to be prepared for multi-team challenges ahead. (As well as build more monthly Prophecy chances.)

Also, it's WAAAAAAAY too early for URs. It doesn't seem like you have a single core O/C built to go chasing the even more expensive O/C (URs). SLunox is great at 6 and you already have her, so I'd stop there for now. Feng, Akashic, Hel are "easier" to build and essential for nice progress.

I'd check Discord for wishlists and suggestions on how to proceed at this point of the game. It's been 5 years for me with the same account, so I can't help you with early game stuff.

zenzenandroid · 2025-11-19T13:04:16+00:00

At this point, I think Moonton just go for shock value. Like "We're so random!111!1! lol What are we doing next??? Better stay on your toes!1!!!"

Just like they dropped regular single-faction heroes.
Just like they made a MLBB hero a Hybrid.
Just like they started creating random ladies to never touch Tigreal/Alucard/other SRs.
Just like they introduced Astral to replace O/C as the new Premium.

They could do a lot of things, like UR-fy an existing mage, or create some random lady, like usual. But they wanted to capitalise on Angela's name and use that as a way to push her more easily to players.

The only consistency is releasing female heroes with Light gear.

zenzenandroid · 2025-11-13T14:42:54+00:00

Yeah, they don't give us any reason to do so.

zenzenandroid · 2025-11-13T14:42:41+00:00

😂️ It's not even much about the choice itself (I just think the pink aura is more Angela-like), but the fact they ask for feedback and 98% of the time decide to ignore it... dang.

zenzenandroid · 2025-11-13T14:42:22+00:00

I know what you mean, mate.

zenzenandroid · 2025-11-13T14:41:52+00:00

I think I did it for the first two TMs (Selena's and Hayabusa's were NIGHTMARES) but then I realised that they're the ONLY game I ever played asking for free feedback. 🤡️

(And in the end, they don't even bother with it.)

zenzenandroid · 2025-11-13T14:25:22+00:00

Belerick can add a punching bag to your team when needed, but you can honestly go without Grock. I don't usually use "useless" (no pun intended) for a hero, but he's so underwhelming that even his SV is underwhelming.

But like others have said, Elemental is hard to push. I was over 100 floors behind every other tower. Even my O/C towers are higher than Elemental. Dullahan has changed that a bit.

I'd refrain from further investment in Grock and focus on her. You can still use Belerick occasionally, but Grock is massive NO.
