A new awesome version is out of the oven, and it will rock your socks (or onesies) off!
Are you ready to CONQUER THE DARKNESS?
New Character
Last week, we teased you with something... explosively dazzling! 🌞
Now it's time to find out all about our one and only...
Queen Unicorn
Queen Unicorn is the latest Defense Fragger to be added with version 1.6.1.
It might surprise you to discover that even though she's all about rainbows, she isn't in fact a Legendary card. Queen Unicorn is actually a common card, but that doesn't mean she's any less awesome or powerful! I guess we could say that... when your soul is legendary, you make your own rainbows! 🌈
✨Queen Unicorn's sparkling entrance✨ takes place through 2 random deck events:
May 22 - May 24 (included)
June 05 - June 07 (included)
She won't be released in chests before mid June, so be sure to not miss the random deck events if you want to try out this fluffy Fragger early!
In 1.6.1, we've also changed how the level of new cards is calculated when obtaining cards through random deck events at launch, so starting with 1.6.1, the characters obtained at launch are now boosted to match the player level until they are released in chests. This means that if you're a level 6 player and you obtain Queen Unicorn in the upcoming random deck event, you'll get a level 6 Queen Unicorn, but her boost will disappear once she's available in chests!
New Ongoing Events
1.6.1 also brings 2 new ongoing event series and a nicer & easier to navigate in-game calendar!
^ as seen today, May 12
2 new event series are starting with 1.6.1:
Champions Series (weekends)
2v2 Team Battle (weekdays)
1. Champions Series
The Champions Series is a special new concept we're trying, that revolves around allowing you to obtain amazing extra rewards for "getting out of your comfort zone" and playing more cards than usual!
As you play, your cards will get fatigued based on their quality, as seen in the 3rd screenshot below.
When they're fatigued, your cards can be healed with health tickets that you can get daily in the Credits tab! What you earn adds up throughout the stages, so don't worry about losing them from one stage to another.
Please note that the Champions Series decks are separate from your regular Frag decks (and like in the regular game, you can have a total of 3 Champions Series decks).
Starting with 1.6.1, the Champions Series will be live every weekend, except for the last week of the season, when it will last for longer (approx. 5 days). This schedule can be seen in the new and improved in-game calendar, too!
What's great about the Grand Finale (longer stage) is that you can actually gain a lot of season progress right before the end, so from now on, we'll get way more rewards towards the end if we participate in the Champions series for extra season XP.
As an extra, you'll also get incredible prizes for ranking up in the Champions Series leaderboard. Check it out!
In order to participate, you will need to be at least level 5 for the weekend event, and at least level 6 for the Grand Finale.
2. 2v2 Team Battle
Since we all enjoyed the anniversary event so much, we decided to implement a lesser version of it as an ongoing, weekly 2v2 wheel event!
2v2 Team Battle will take place every week, from Monday to Friday.
The rules stay the same. You'll need tickets won in 2v2 battles to spin the wheel for rewards. The more you spin, the more Joker cards you'll get, as an extra to the prizes you already get by spinning!
Don't forget that you get daily 2v2 tickets as a gift, too, so check the Credits tab daily for free spins!
