”

• NEW FEATURE:
  • A new Challenge Mission has arrived! Conquer this new challenge to gain exclusive rewards. But hurry! You only have 2 Weeks!
  • This Challenge Mission will have 2 to 4-Star Thundercracker as rewards.

• Alliance Mission Maps have been reworked.
  • Map 3 difficulty and rewards have been increased to provide an engaging challenge for the top level Commanders.
  • Map 3 layouts and encounters have been updated. This means all new enemies, bosses, and buffs to overcome!
  • Map 1 and 2 Bosses and Mini-Bosses have been updated.

  • Kickback

  • Galvatron

  • Megatronus
  • Grindor
  • Dinobot
  • Sideswipe
  • Bumblebee (Dark of the Moon)

Bot Rebalances

8.0 rebalanced a whole ton of Bots, including:

HOUND

• Added +3.6% to base Critical Rate.
• The time it takes to switch ammo has been reduced to 60ms, down from 90ms.
• Increased Signature Ability scaling to start at +50% projectile damage. This scales to an unchanged maximum of +200%.
• The bonus from Hound’s Signature Ability remains activate during Special Attacks that activated before the bonus expired.
• Increase Critical Damage against Burning opponents.
• The Critical Resistance Debuff now scales up, gaining +0.5s duration and -1.8% potency each Rank.
• The increased Critical Damage against Burning targets now scales up +5% with each Rank.
• The final (grenade) hit of Special 2 inflicts Burn instead of Bleed.
• Sidestepping while Precision Ammo is equipped Purifies Dazed effects.
• Added +10% Attack to Inferno Ammo heat damage at all Ranks and now all damage is dealt after 10s instead of 15s.

MIXMASTER

• The chance to trigger an Acid Debuff on projectile attacks starts with +5% chance and scales up an additional +5% with each Rank, up to a maximum of 50% at Rank 5.
• The Acid Debuff from projectile attacks lasts +1 second longer at all Ranks.
• Added +10% Attack to Acid Damage from projectile attacks at all Ranks.
• Added +8% base Block Proficiency.

Acid is one of the unique aspects of Mixmaster but wasn’t relevant enough in most fights. These changes make it more worthwhile and reliable to leverage ranged gameplay to generate this unique effect.

JETFIRE

• Added +3% to base Attack.
• Added +5% to base Block Proficiency.
• Increased the duration of his Ranged Bonus from 10s to 20s.
• The Old Friends Synergy with Starscream is now part of Jetfire’s base kit; however, the Stun from well-timed Blocks no longer affects Special Attacks and the Stun duration has been shortened to 1s. The Synergy still exists, but has the new effect of increasing the duration of this Stun from well-timed Blocks by 50%.

It was never intended to let any Bot inflict Stun to an enemy during that enemies’ Special animation. This has led to several issues, and breaks a rule of gameplay in an uncomfortable way. This Synergy with Starscream was so potent that it made Jetfire feel reliant on a specific team. We’ve kept a Synergy between them, but Jetfire is now more viable on non-Starscream teams.

KICKBACK

• Added +3.6% base Critical Rate.
• Added +10% base Critical Damage.
• Special 2 Critical (blade) hits now inflict Bleed.

STARSCREAM

• Special 1 chance for a Projectile Damage Buff increased to 100%.
• Projectile Bonus duration increased by 2 seconds.
• Special 2 Armor Break now has a chance to trigger on both hits and lasts 2 seconds longer.
• Starscream’s Old Friends Synergy with Jetfire no longer plays a Sidestep animation to avoid projectiles when Starscream dashes back. Instead, projectiles miss. He still receives the Critical Damage Buff when a projectile misses during his Dodge.

The extra hit of Armor Break is an additional chance to remove an enemy Armor Up. This Armor Break is now more in line with what to expect from a Special 2, and from a Tactician Bot.

GALVATRON

• Increased the chance to trigger a Dark Burn from Heavy Attacks by 0.7% per charge of Dark Energy.

Version 9.0

February 2022, The biggest roadmap update since forever with the new monthly bots??

  • In the next Timeslide, Commanders will find Dirge was guarding a recently uncovered natural Spacebridge against the clutches of Necrotronus! Once activated, this Spacebridge will open gates to worlds unseen, bringing new friends and foes to New Quintessa!
  • Commanders can look forward to more new Bots coming their way this year, starting with 2 new Bots in v9.0 coming later this month! One of these Bots has been hiding in plain sight, while the other is our take on a Generations classic.
  • Don’t hold on to those Bot Chips or Titan Fragments though! These new Bots will be available in Crystals and other offers before being added to any other method of acquisition.
  • These new Bots will not be released right away, and come with a new content schedule of events and Missions themed around them.

  • Objectives
  • Login Rewards
  • 4 Featured Bots available for Bot Chips

  • This new schedule will be replacing our current monthly content schedule. During this time, our goal is to really make the Game feel like it’s dedicated to the New Bot.
• Off-Cycle Events
  • There won’t always be back-to-back Bot releases, and during those downtimes, we’ll be running special off-cycle events, focussing on other Bots, factions and teams on New Quintessa, such as Beast Wars or Decepticon events!
• More Content Update Priorities
  • Throughout the year, we also want to take some time to focus on updating some other kinds of content and modes. We don’t have details to share on these at the moment, but would like to give you a glimpse at some of the priorities we are working on:
  • Sharkticon Week Revamp: We’ve revamped this fan-favourite event, and you can look forward to it coming soon!
  • Quest Content Update: We want to work on new Buffs and Map layouts to give players more variety in-game, as well as taking another look at Prime Difficulty as more Commanders have access to Rank 6 Bots.
  • Alliance Mission Update: We want to adjust the Alliance Mission Map to be shorter, so that we can regularly mix up the Bots alliances will be facing off against, and reinvigorate the challenge in one of our most popular game modes.
• This all starts soon!
  • Get ready Commanders, because all of this kicks off this month! You’ll find out the first new Bots heading your way when v9.0 releases on Feb 8th, and have your chance to snag one of them before the end of the month! These won’t be the last new Bots you see this year either, so look forward to even more additions to the Fight throughout 2022!
