Sneak Peek: Whats in the Next Update?

Features

New Dice Modes:

Theres been a ton of discussion in our community around dice rolls. Weve heard you! The next big update will add two new dice modes to the game: Low Luck and Biased Dice. Standard Dice will remain an option for players who prefer the classic RNG. Heres how these new modes will work Low Luck Dice In Low Luck mode, the number of hits equals the total attack power or defense power of units, divided by six. If there is a remainder after this calculation (a leftover number not divisible by 6, ie. 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5) the game rolls an extra die that hits if the result is equal to or less than the remainder. Example: 2 Tanks and 2 Infantry have a combined Attack Power of 8 = (3+3+1+1) Low Luck Calculation: 8 6 = 1, remainder 2 Total Hits = 1 guaranteed hit + a die roll that hits on 2 or lower Biased Dice These dice control for extreme results. For each roll, the game takes a random result out of 100 that corresponds to possible dice outcomes (1 through 6). Results of 2, 3, and 4 are more likely to occur than results of 1, 5, or 6.
