You talk about defenseā€¦ Think about GM with increased attack what damage his special will do in 2 turnsā€¦ :face_with_symbols_over_mouth::face_with_symbols_over_mouth::face_with_symbols_over_mouth:

Looks like that talent grid will make maxed 5* heroes like a new class of 6*, which should kick the f2p ppl out of top global spots at least for good some months.

Thanks to Small Giant to give us some new features for 2019. It will be interesting for sure.

I donā€™t know if bĆŖta testers are allowed to tell us what level of construction are needed and wich one are required to build this new features.
I donā€™t have all my base maxed but with the Rudolph 's offer, I have an extra builder, like other players, so if we can know which one to focus on, it will help a lot.

Thanks in advance

I am excited, even though I do not have that strong heroes. A lot of content to make the game more fun and longer.

I hope the Raid Challenge will be accessible for newer players as well. Not like the event challenges where strong players dominate everyone else. Would be fun if it didnā€™t use the regular Raid energy, depending on what the challenge is about of course :wink:

About the hero talent token, Iā€™m curious about their accessibility as well. I kind of feel it would be best if they were not-purchasable in the shop. Just another unfarmable drop, to avoid P2P issues. I also wonder about the respecialization. Hero nerf/buff or just simply not well thought of decision could ā€˜breakā€™ a fully ascended hero completely. There should be a way to make changes in the talent tree to avoid such frustration.

I am only not sure about the ā€˜custom skinsā€™ - too much clowny potential, as already seen for Cooktusk. Although I do hope they will create some for Santa, Buddy and Mother North as I do not want to be thrown presents by Christmas creatures in the middle of summer, thatā€™s weak.

Anyway, great to see the game continues to develop! I love it!

Thatā€™s pretty much new even for ā€œregularā€ beta tester.
Only the class thing was tested, all the other content i never saw it before.

Donā€™t know if thereā€™s some ā€œspecialā€ beta zone only few are allowed to use.
