Commander, version 2.0.25 is here. Galactic Wars, our new event mode, is ready for battle, the game has a fresh new look from the lobby to the reward screen, and the Research Lab now lets you plan ahead with a research queue. GALACTIC WARS: THE EVENT MODE IS HERE * Galactic Wars is a limited-time event. Open it from the crest in the bottom-left corner of your lobby. * Pick your battlefield: choose any tier you have unlocked and compete in it for the whole event. Your choice stays locked until the event ends. * War Tickets: each ticket gets you one war run. You get a free ticket every day of the event, and more from the event shop and supply crates. * A tougher fight: enemies have more health and hit harder, and upgrades cost more. From Tier 5 you will meet the gods themselves. * Every war run is played in one sitting, but every wave you clear counts. * Earn Valor: every boss wave you clear rewards Valor, and higher tiers earn more. You also collect Coins, Flux and Hourglass time. * War missions unlock step by step and earn XP that opens 10 supply crates. * The Valor shop: spend Valor on Turret Chips, Ultimatter, Gems, Flux, Hourglasses and Coin packs. * Valor and tickets reset when the event ends. RESEARCH LAB: RESEARCH QUEUE * When all your labs are busy, queue your next researches in the new UP NEXT list. * Queued research starts automatically the moment a lab becomes free, even while the game is closed. * The price is paid when you queue, plus a small queue fee for each waiting level. * Reorder your queue with the arrows. Removing a research refunds the price of its waiting levels; the queue fee is not refunded. A FRESH NEW LOOK * Settings: one clean window with GAME, GRAPHICS and ACCOUNT tabs. * Rewards: a brand-new REWARDS screen shows everything a claim pays on one reward grid. * Cards: a new METEOR DROP scene, and OPEN AGAIN lets you pull again right there. * Mail: gifts glow gold and sit at the top, unread mail is marked NEW. * Bag: ALL, USABLE, TURRET CHIPS and EVENT tabs, plus a new Turret Chip chooser. * Daily Supply: a streak line and tomorrow's reward with a countdown. * While You Were Away: a new design with a big golden payout. * Arsenal: clear DAMAGE and FIRE RATE gauges and a new PROJECTILES row. * Coin Boost: the breakdown shows your total on top, and tapping any row takes you to where that bonus comes from. * Large numbers are now grouped with dots for easier reading, for example 33.819.309. * New sounds across the game, a new lobby background for BASTION, and a new app icon. OPTIMIZATION & BUG FIXES * The first cast of each Ultimate in a battle is now smooth. * Reward and card effects open instantly. * The lobby now uses less battery and runs cooler. * Normal Tier 5 battles no longer include Tier 6 enemies. * Resume and Auto Retry can no longer start a run on a tier that is still locked. * Fixed the Coin Boost value in the lobby sometimes showing an outdated number.

ACT II begins with Tier 6, your planet gains a brand-new shield, Ultimates hit harder than ever, and large-scale battles have received major performance improvements. ACT II: TIER 6 IS OPEN * Reach Wave 751 in Tier 5 to unlock Tier 6 and the ACT II page in your lobby. * Tier 6 introduces the Crystal Lineage: 10 new enemies and 10 new bosses, each with their own art, sounds, and abilities. Some carry crystal plates that block your shots and regenerate over time. * Tier 6 has its own Milestones, Royal Pass, and Galactic Rankings tab. PLANET SHIELD * Reach Wave 10 in Tier 5 to unlock the Planet Shield: a second bar in front of your health, surrounded by a glowing energy dome around your planet. * Every enemy hit is split between your Health and Shield. Tougher enemies and bosses push more of their damage through to your Health. * After a short period without taking damage, the Shield begins to recharge. * Upgrade your Shield through the Workshop, during battle, in the Research Lab, with the new Shield Card, and through the new Shield Bonus on the turret screen. ULTIMATES HIT HARDER * Solar Lance, Supernova, Singularity, and Armageddon now have a guaranteed minimum damage value that increases as the Ultimate is leveled. * Ultimates now ignore Armor and Guard Shields. * The Ultimate window includes a new BOSS DAMAGE value. * Singularity’s final collapse now delivers the majority of the ability’s total damage. FLUX AND HOURGLASS: STEADY ALL DAY * The daily earning cap has been removed. Replaying waves you have already completed now rewards Flux and Hourglass time at a steady rate. * New record waves still award their full rewards. * Miner Drones now earn more Flux in higher Tiers. BALANCE AND PRICE CHANGES * Death Defy now saves you once per run and restores your planet to full Health. Its revive chance can eventually reach 100%. * Research Lab: You can now run up to 7 researches at once. Research prices and durations have been reworked. * Workshop upgrades, Module upgrades, Game Speed, and World unlocks have new prices. ORBIS, the first world, is now significantly cheaper. * TEMPEST now boosts Base Fire Rate. PRISMA now boosts Super Crit Chance. * Maxed cards are back in card pulls and refund part of their price in Gems. * Milestones now award less Ultimatter, while permanent Ultimate levels cost more Ultimatter. * Everything you already own remains exactly as it is. New prices apply only to future purchases. UI & VISUALS * Tap Cash or Coins during battle to switch the display to income per minute. * A new SCREEN SHAKE ON / OFF option has been added to Advanced Settings. * New space backgrounds for every world in the lobby. OPTIMIZATION & BUG FIXES * Performance in large late-game battles at high game speeds has been optimized. * Up to 1,200 enemies can be on the battlefield at once; new enemies enter as existing ones are defeated. * Knockback now behaves consistently across all game speeds. * Coins, Flux, and wave records from runs that cannot be saved immediately are no longer lost. * Fixed a crash on the Game Over screen for AD-FREE players. * Switching accounts and signing out are now safer.
