Cohort has sound. Version 1.0.0 played silent on iPhone; the music and the sounds of the fight, the shop and the menus now play. A new look. Home, the lobby, the result, settings and sign-in are all rebuilt. The arena is a sunlit keep seen from higher up, the board takes the screen, and the shop drops from the top. Tighter matches. The level cap is 5, and a lost round costs a fixed amount of health set by the stage, from 3 early on to 18 late. Play with friends. Find a friend by nickname, invite them to your party from the lobby, and search together. Fewer taps to a match. PLAY opens the lobby and FIND MATCH starts the search. When a match is found, tap ACCEPT within ten seconds to take your seat. After a match, PLAY AGAIN finds the next one. Also new: • Playing as a guest is quicker: a name and a portrait come filled in, and PLAY starts your first search from the same screen. • After a guest's first match, the game offers to keep your rank with an email. • Faster rounds: planning is 15 seconds, and the shop stays live while your board fights, so you can pull it open to buy, sell, reroll and buy XP mid-fight. • Your own piece stands on the board and walks where you tap. More champions stand in 3D, and three stars earn wings. • A server now checks ranked results. • Hold a player's name to report or block them. • Names other players read now use English letters. • Surrender from the menu at the top left of a match. • Tap any unit, on the board or mid-fight, to see what its skill does and how its fight is going. Traits and items explain themselves too. • Damage numbers in the fight, a live damage meter, and both sides' gold beside the board. • Shop cards show every trait, and a card you already own says so. • Items as pictures, trait counts, eight rank crests, and a strip at the top that names the round. • Buttons give under your thumb, with a sound, and on iPhone you feel a light tap as you drag and place a unit. • Clearer account forms, and menus that keep clear of the notch when the phone turns. • A skill now casts the moment its cooldown ends.
