🧪 Early Information on Round 2 of Shadow Heroes [Part of The Beta Beat v67]

NOTE: Please do not, under any circumstances, share IMAGES OR VIDEOS from Beta in this or any public Forum thread. Violations can cause players to lose their Beta accounts, or threads to be closed down.

This thread is to provide early insights and discussion on the initial release of the new Secret Heroes and the Secret Summon.


Don’t get too attached

Details from Beta, especially brand-new Beta content, don’t tend to be very reliable for actual release.

It’s incredibly common that features are changed during Beta testing, or sometimes even after testing but before release. That is, after all, the purpose of Beta testing.

So I wouldn’t get too attached to any of this — it’s not unheard of for entire portions of features to be removed or reworked, or for radical changes to functionality to be made.


:tophat: Secret and Shadow Heroes

*There are a total of five (5) new heroes added to Beta for testing; these have been indicated to be for the Secret Summon and a later other summon…

*The names of the new legendary heroes are unknown they are stated just like:
Legendary: Secret Hero VI, VII, VII
Epic: Shoggo
Rare: Cthuwu

Insanity Status Effect

Changes are maked with green compared to the live game.

  • Status effect: Insanity
    • Insanity has a percentage chance of reversing the targeting of a Special Skill cast.
    • When Insanity activates,
      • Special Skills that target enemies instead will target allies, anc vice versa.
      • Special Skills aimed at caster will be case on a random target.
      • Special Skills aimed at a target wil be case on the caster.
    • Insanity cannot be dispelled or cleansed,
    • Hero’s Insanity can be lowered by 10 each time they are healed directly by Special Skills, Items or Tiles. Direct heals from Special Skills lower Instanity only once per cast.
    • Healing provided by Status Effects, Passive Skills, Minions and other secondary effects does not lower insanity.
    • Insanity drops to 0 when a Special Skill is cast on revered targets.
    • Reaching 100 Insanity automatically casts a Special Skill when mana is full.
    • Passive Skills that trigger on Special Skill cast don’t trigger if Insanity activates.

@PlayForFun Shoggo & Cthuwu are both showing…

…in their expanded details.

Wait so there will be a dedicated portal for secret heroes? What was even the point of this whole Secret summon day, bonus pull chance thing?

Hmm. I’ll give you one guess. :sweat_smile:

Well yes, the same reason that’s behind every decision any company makes under our current economic system. I’m just surprised they’re pulling the rug on this so soon

So the secret heroes won’t be that exclusive again. Those who were spending ton of money chasing them before will feel like a fool probably
