Rivals Race

In Rivals Race, small groups of players form their own Race leaderboard. All players on a leaderboard will start with a similar medal count. At the end of the Race, the top players with the highest medal counts will win unique vanity rewards.

Find out the full details about the new Rivals Race in this article.

Cloning Lab

When the Cloning Lab was first introduced, it required players to play 30 battles to clone a unit. With this system, there was no set time frame when a player would finish cloning their unit. Some players completed it quickly, while for others it could take many days. We eventually felt that 30 battles were a bit too long, but that the system itself also was not accommodating enough to everyone.

We’ve redesigned how the Cloning Chamber works. Now, Cloning Chambers will take a certain amount of time. Select a unit to clone and after a specified amount of time has elapsed your Cloning Chamber will be ready, even if you’ve played no battles. Playing battles will decrease the amount of time remaining on your Cloning Chamber, speeding up the process so you get the new cards sooner.

You’ll continue to make progress on your Cloning Chamber even when you can’t play every day. For those who want to maximize your free Cloning Chamber, playing battles will speed up the process, allowing you to utilize it daily.

New requirements for the Free Cloning Chamber:

• The Cloning Chamber will take 72 hrs to clone a unit
• The Cloning Chamber time will be reduced by 4 hrs for every battle played

We’ve also increased the number of Common cards that you receive when using the Free or Standard Cloning Chamber. This change should make it slightly easier to clone the cards you need to level up your Common units.

• Free Chamber: You now clone 120 Common cards (previously was 60 Common cards)
• Standard Chamber: You now clone 200 Common cards (previously was 90 Common cards)

Commander Skins

In Update 1.5, we introduced unit skins, Commander emotes, and explojis. We will continue to offer new vanity items that you can use to customize your army.

Your Commander is the face of your army and brings special abilities to the battle. From the main landing page to the loading screen, your Commander is visible not just to you but also to your rivals. With this update, we introduced Commander skins. These skins will change the look of your Commander in all the usual locations – landing page, army loadout, loading screen and during the battle.

We will be alternating when these skins will be offered, so not all of them may be available with the release of Update 1.6. Three of the new Commander skins, Solomon Dress Whites, Jade Obsidian, and Oxanna Shadow Cast, will be offered as event rewards on only the standard track.

Unit Unlock Order

In this Update, we have made some changes to the unit unlock order. Several units will unlock at a lower player level, allowing you to start using the units earlier. We hope this will increase player decision-making and diversity at all levels and give you access to the newer units earlier.

New unlock levels:

Bounty Reward

Credits are needed to upgrade your units and Commanders. Right now, there isn’t a great way to specifically earn Credits every day. We want bounties to be a way that players can reliably obtain credits daily. Players already are rewarded with credits and XP for completing individual bounties. With this update, we are replacing the Rare crate with credits. When you have completed all five bounties, you will receive 2,500 credits.

• Replaced the reward for completing five bounties with 2,500 credits (previously rewarded 1 Rare crate)

GDI
