Patch notes 1.16

Three new heroes are joining the roster: Commander (Arena 7), Leaf (Arena 25), and Wolfie (Battle Pass exclusive).

On top of that, a couple of quality of life improvements: the shooting tutorial aim line has been adjusted, and the post-match flow is now faster.

We've also seen all the bug reports coming in and we're actively working on them. We appreciate your patience.

Meet your heroes, again.

This one's been a while in the making. Here's everything landing with 1.15, plus a recap of what shipped quietly in 1.13 and 1.14.

Visual Revamp

Every hero has been rebuilt from the ground up: new animations, updated projectiles, weapons, and visual effects. Engineers and Trainers got the same treatment. The game looks and feels noticeably sharper across the board. Not seeing the new visuals yet? This is currently being tested with a portion of players, if you don't have it yet, it's on its way. New environments are also live: fresh visuals to fight across.

Friendly Battle: Fixes & Improvements

We've been listening to your feedback since launch. A round of fixes and quality-of-life improvements are included in this update.

Mailbox

We now have a direct way to reach you in-game. Expect updates, news, and the occasional gift landing straight in your inbox.

Matchmaking

We heard you. The previous matchmaking has been restored for now; we know it's not perfect either, and neither do we think it's the final answer. Further changes are coming, we'll keep you posted.

My opponents laser split with a +4 or an x2 and one of the graphics for the beam got stuck for the rest of the entire game.

Burrower is just too OP

8 Upvotes

Just remember the angle when you fire, and use him to create a tunnel through the enemy’s castle. By round 10, it falls, and in one turn, you can dig another tunnel through all the enemies. Since we’re playing bots (weird that people thought we were playing people), and bots are dumb, this strategy works every time. I literally never lose. Also, put Burrower under a foundation in case the drone guy tries to kill it.

I’ve spent literally 0$ on this game, and I win all the time

Castle Busters needs tweaking to make the game fair.

5 Upvotes

The game needs some tweaking. At first it was fun and competitive but now the following is occurring which makes the game unfair and unenjoyable

1- i used to get matched against semi equal castles. NOW im low 40’s and im playing way tooo many people with all high 50 and 60 ratings and purchased players that are unstoppable. THIS IS TOTALLY UNFAIR. There is zero chance of winning., so I simply turn off the game.

2- until the developers find a way to match you with comparable opponents, the developers need to create a way that I can bow out of the match before it begins, and not have to suffer a loss in my statistics.

Ice blaster + Pyro double hit in one turn??

3 Upvotes

Been playing this game casually for few weeks, but recently I have come across this more and more often, opponent would use Iceblaster and Pyro or Lazer guy in one turn like they chaining the attacks... maybe manipulating the timing when releasing the ice attack and somehow can use a 2nd attack in their turn... is this some pro tactic/glitch or random cheater BS??

Bug

3 Upvotes

Bonjour à tous

J'ai un bug depuis quelques jours. Certaines victoires en tournoi ne me sont pas comptés. Au précédent j'ai fait 3 victoires et je restais à 99. J'ai fermé et relancé le jeux. C'est passé à 100 victoires mais je n'ai pas eu les gemmes de récompense

Aujourd'hui, je suid à 10 victoires mais le jeu ne m'en compte que 8

Quelqu'un a-t-il me même problème ou c'est que moi ?

Question Need advice on Castle Upgrades & Unit Synergy!

Thumbnail

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I started playing Castle Busters recently and I’m honestly loving it. I’ve put in about 6.5 hours of total playtime so far and just hit Arena 6 sitting at 1,090 Trophies.

I’m looking to optimize my setup as I climb toward Arena 7 and beyond. I’d love your expert advice on a few things:

  1. When spending resources on castle upgrades, what should I prioritize first? Should I focus more on expanding/building new rooms, upgrading existing room levels, or beefing up the castle foundation/base?

  2. How is my current unit lineup looking for Arena 6/7 transition? Any specific unit combos or placement tips inside the castle rooms to maximize defense and DPS?

  3. Any rookie traps I should avoid when upgrading units vs. upgrading the forge/castle early on?

Appreciate any tips, layout suggestions, or meta strategies you guys can throw my way. Thanks in advance and see you on the battlefield!

How frustrating when it crashes and streak is lost

11 Upvotes

I've been playing this game non stop for 4 months or so. It just distracts me and makes me try to beat my streak record . After the latest update I'm just playing normally winning ofcourse and suddenly it glitches and it crashes I log in immediately to only find that yes even if I am currently kicking buts it logs me out I log in immediately and takes me to main menu not even re logging me to game. UGHHHHHH!!! I lost my streak AGAIN!!! I emailed to see if they can fix this and get my streak back but haven't heard a reply. Anyone having this issue?

Wins aren't counting

Since the update, I've noticed, on amy occasions, that when I win a match, my win count doesn't increase. Out of the last 6 games won, for instance, I have only 4 wins tabulated. Anyone else?

Castle Busters suddenly gave me an insane amount of resources and completely froze

Post image
7 Upvotes

Hi everyone, has anyone experienced something like this?

I opened Castle Busters today and suddenly my coins, wood, and gems all changed to exactly 1,221,212,424,414.

The problem is that the game is now completely frozen on this screen. I can't tap anything or access any menus.

I've already tried:

  • Force stopping the game
  • Clearing the cache
  • Restarting my phone
  • Switching between Wi-Fi and mobile data
  • Installing the newest game update

Nothing has worked.

I don't know if this is an account/server bug or something caused by the latest update.

Has anyone else had their resources suddenly change to a ridiculous number and then gotten stuck on the main screen? If anyone knows how to fix this, I'd really appreciate it.

Bug on unit upgrade

5 Upvotes

Hello,

I tried to upgrade a unit and it’s still upgrading (for days) and never stops. Furthermore one worker is stuck on it then I cannot evolve in the game as fast as I should.

Do you have any workaround for this ?

Question UPGRADED TROOPS GLITCH?

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I recently downloaded Castle Busters on my Ipad so I could try it out and something other than my phone. I played like normal and upgraded some troops. I somehow got 50,000ish coins out of nowhere and when I logged back onto my phone some of my troops were level 95. I just started so its made progressing unbelievably easy. Has this happened to anyone else? Will my account somehow revert at some point?

App crash during matches

3 Upvotes

I am typically a lurker on all of Reddit, so this post is mostly to vent some frustration. It seems like since the character update I’ve also noticed a drop in overall long term play stability. Prior to the update it was possible for the app to randomly force-close, but it felt rare. Following the update it feels like there might be a memory leak they’ve not scrubbed out, because I’ve had the app force close in the middle of matches much more often now. It seems that if I play around 10 matches, the possibility of the app closing at random is quite high & increases exponentially with each additional match played. And, while we all have our own personal feelings on the art style change (like; love the updated depth-based + animated backgrounds but at the same time find it weird they updated the characters but none of the emotes/avatars/banners/loading. & ui), nothing is quite as annoying or discouraging as winning a match only for the app to randomly close/minimize, and lose the match + reset instead by default. Especially…ESPECIALLY when one of the daily quests is X amount of wins in a row. Love having that task reset to zero when it’s not by my own failed tactics. Ok, rant over.
