:thinking: What’s this all about?

Click Here for Details About This Thread's Intention & Format

Often players on the Forum wonder about what’s going on in Beta.

If you’re a regular reader of the Forum, then you’ll find that there’s actually abundant conversation about what’s going on in Beta at any given time.

And that’s actually allowed!

What’s restricted is images and videos — but discussion is ok:

The challenge is that information is often scattered around the Forum. I’ve created The Beta Beat to help centralize it for those who are 0interested.

The Beta Beat is a series of threads which are evolving as I get feedback on what’s helpful to players.

My main focus is giving some high-level guidance of what’s going on in current testing, so players outside of Beta can be better informed.

Like Beta itself, this thread is experimental and will evolve based on your feedback.

Information from Beta is frankly often mostly useless, so 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 heroes and 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 information from Beta — it’s not unheard of for entire portions of hero skills to be removed or reworked, or for radical changes to hero stats to be made, or for large chunks of new functionality to be completely changed.

Often Incomplete Information Circulates

Many of us have seen screenshots and other information shared on LINE, Discord, Facebook, and other groups — often without context or explanation.

These can lead to confusion and misunderstanding.

Often, early Beta information — the least reliable or useful — is circulated…and then updated information is missed.

I’m hoping centralizing some high-level information on the Forum may help to reduce this as well.

What’s Going on in Beta Right Now

IMPORTANT: I wouldn’t get too attached to any information from Beta — it’s not unheard of for entire portions of heroes or functionality to be removed, reworked, or radically changed beyond recognition.

:left_speech_bubble: Feedback?

I’d love to hear thoughts on whether this information and format is useful, and how you’d like to see information presented in the future. Any thoughts or ideas?

Please try to limit discussion in this thread mostly to the information sharing process and feedback on the thread, so we don’t end up with a jumbled discussion of a bunch of different heroes — use the threads linked above for each individual hero to discuss more.

Thanks! :slight_smile:

New beta just hit. Glass costumes are real.

Azlar with all costumes has power of 1554
Passive is 60% chance to reflect status ailments
Specials are pretty similar to toon version but no extra damage to weak element
Same class as original/toon

I guess I won’t be using any keys for the time being.

Toons are my strongest heroes already. This takes it a step further

SG seems to like the strategy of keeping classic heroes relevant (even with paid buff). One costume does unlock multiple uses so I can see it being a benefit to cheaper players since costume chamber is one of the more accessible profiles due to prevalence of keys.

Wondering when (not if) we’re going to see the dragon costumes :sweat_smile:

Soon the Xth costume will make the heroes have similar stats with dragons. If we look at treasure quest, we already see that live.

10

This seems kind of crazy. I don’t know if high level players will like that. Basically all defenses and especially non-overhealers get nerfed for all pvp formats. But attacks will be easier…

Eeew. Saw an image a few days ago and they look horrible, like fan-edited.

This is unexpected. I’m not sure how this impacts on high-level players (as I’m not one of them), but I expect many tears :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Ohh geez… wish I didn’t read this… now I have to go through another year of hording keys…

After hording since toons release I just summoned when toon Kad was released using 350 keys…

I hope they add something else to make up for this loss

4th costumes probably mean that costume bonus for 3 costumes will be nerfed, and you will need all 4 to have strong stats. This would be nerf to all toons until they get new costumes.

19

At this point Toons have the highest TP in the game. There are really only a few heroes recently released, which have slightly more TP. I don’t mind them testing 4th costumes but their release should not come until 2026. Releasing the Costume is a measure taken to boost the hero stats itself when they become obsolete. In this case and in near future Toons have no need of extra boosting.

Hopefully not but i wouldn’t be surprise :sweat_smile:
Well the 4th costume would add 100+ extra TP, which in terms of stats is huge boost enough to compensate the lower passive. I think reducing this insanely high passive is actually a decent move.

Are Raid Brawl rules applied to 3* and 4* tournaments as well? (To my opinion they are not needed there)
