After an update

What should you recheck before spending?

A new release can change code availability, unit value, recipes, and reward pools at different times. Use the update summary to find what changed, then verify the decision on the page that covers it.

01 · Codes

Redeem before planning around a reward

Open the codes page, check the latest status, and redeem in a current server. A code listed by public guides can still expire without notice.

02 · Units

Recheck a build before investing

Compare the dates and disagreements on the tier list before using Trait Crystals, equipment rerolls, or evolution materials.

03 · Teams

Rebuild by role, not rarity

Use the team guide to decide whether a new unit changes Story, Raid, Expedition, Tournament, or event lineups.

04 · Tournaments

Read the live rule first

Use the tournament guide when an update adds or rotates competitive objectives, duo rules, rewards, or restrictions.

05 · Farming

Confirm recipes and drops in-game

Use the live Evolve panel and reward screen as the final check, then use the maps and items pages to plan the route.

How current is this update log?

As of 5 August 2026, the latest verified public content release remains Update 0.5. The official Roblox event listing for that release ran from 25 July to 1 August 2026. A separate Roblox listing names Update 1.0, but its timing is marked unofficial, so this page does not treat it as a confirmed release.

The game title and update label are checked daily. Detailed mechanics, recipes, and rewards stay marked as public reports until the developer confirms them or several current guides agree. If a mode, shop, banner, or reward is visible in your current server, the live interface is the final check.

If the live game no longer matches this page, send the update name, the page URL, and a screenshot or public source through contact.

How should you read an update entry?

Read each entry as a dated summary of reported changes, not a promise that every system changed at the same moment. The summary groups new units, modes, features, and quality-of-life changes so you can identify the area that affects your account. The source badge and date show how the entry was supported when it was published.

This page is not an official changelog. When the developer has not published complete public notes, the summary combines current public guides and says so clearly. A listed feature may be accurate while a code, recipe, or reward attached to the same release has already changed.

What should returning players check first?

  1. Open Codes and redeem current rewards before assuming an older list still works.
  2. Inspect the live banners and compare new units with the Units and Tier List pages.
  3. Check saved Trait Crystals, rerolls, Gold, and evolution materials before choosing a new build.
  4. Open the live Evolve panel before following an older recipe.
  5. Confirm current map and mode rewards before starting a long farm.

Start with the decision that could consume the most limited resource. A returning player does not need to relearn every system before playing, but should not spend on a remembered recipe or ranking without checking its date.

How can an update affect older guide pages?

  • Codes may be added, expire, or gain a progress requirement without a full patch note.
  • Unit rankings may become less useful when balance, modes, or team options change.
  • Traits and evolution may show different effects, pity values, costs, or materials in the live panel.
  • Maps and items may change reward pools, names, acquisition routes, or available equipment.
  • Official identity usually remains stable even when the title, thumbnail, description, or public metadata changes.

What if an update is missing from this page?

Check the official destinations first. Then send the update name or visible version, the affected feature, and a public source or in-game screenshot through Contact. A claim such as “everything changed” is difficult to verify; the exact menu, unit, code, recipe, or reward can be checked and corrected.

When is it safer to wait?

Wait before spending rare materials when the live game and current guides disagree, when a recipe is incomplete, or when a new unit has only one undated ranking. New-release excitement makes weak information spread quickly. Keeping a usable build for another session is often cheaper than reversing a decision based on the first available list.

How can you confirm one reported change?

Open the menu or mode named in the report and compare the same unit form, difficulty, reward screen, or recipe. Record what the live game shows before and after the relevant action when possible. A complete observation is more useful than a cropped result because it reveals the conditions that may explain a disagreement.

Do not test an uncertain claim by spending a resource you cannot replace. Wait for a current official statement or multiple independent checks when confirmation would require rare evolution materials, paid currency, an irreversible reroll, or a large time commitment.
