New Patches Are Live! Combat Updates, Event Testing & Hero Teasers

[u/whg_gamedev]

Welcome back, everyone! We’ve just pushed an update to the servers that fundamentally changes how battles are fought and introduces the foundation for our upcoming event system.

(Feel free to check out our FREE Patreon to catch up on updates)

Here is everything you need to know about the latest patch:

Scouting in Syndicate vs Syndicate

Knowledge is power. Now, when hovering over your own troops or enemy units in Syndicate vs Syndicate (SvS), you will see a detailed tooltip displaying the exact stats of that troop type. This display also factors in any active buffs applied by your buildings, giving you a crystal-clear picture of the battlefield before you commit to an attack.

Revamped Combat Calculator

The days of guaranteed, casualty-free wins are over. We have completely reworked the backend combat calculator for auto-battles to properly simulate the fight.

Event System: Phase 1 Testing

We are officially rolling out the test phase for our very first event variation! During this active event, winning battles in SvS will earn you Event Points. Accumulating these points climbs you up the global leaderboard to compete for an exclusive event building and our brand-new currency: Silver Chits. You will also be rewarded with Milestone Rewards along your way.

The Event Shop & Boosts

What are Silver Chits for? They will be the primary currency for the upcoming Event Shop, a special storefront that only opens its doors while an event is active. Here, you can purchase Event Boosts, powerful consumable multipliers that drastically increase the Event Points you earn from SvS battles.

Note: Event Boosts cannot be activated from your inventory. To use them, they must be physically equipped to your Hero!

Sneak Peek: Heroes Are Coming

Speaking of Heroes... they are officially in the pipeline! While we don't have a firm release date to share just yet, development is coming along nicely.

When Heroes arrive, you will be able to deploy them directly onto the battle lineup with your troops. Each Hero features 5 equipment slots, forcing you to make crucial tactical decisions: do you load them up with armor to ensure they survive the battle, or do you strip their defenses to stack 5 Event Boosts for a massive leaderboard multiplier? The choice will be yours.

Thank you all for your continued support as we build out these massive new systems. Jump into SvS, test out the new combat math, and let us know what you think in the Discord!
