Update 53 has arrived! Let’s dive into its secrets!

DRONE & MECH UPGRADES
1. CHIPS LEVEL UP
- Levelling-up chips is the newest addition to Drone and Mech Programming.
- You can level up chips by fusing them to other chips and connectors, which can massively amplify their bonus!
- When a chip is at max level, the Motherboard bonus will also be boosted.
- A crucial advantage of this new mechanic is that, once you level up a chip, you can reroll its base stat.
- To level up a chip, you must fuse it to another chip of the same type and bonus.
- To start, tap on an already socketed chip on the motherboard and use the Fuse button to go to the Fusing menu. You can select the chip you want to use from the list of chips you own.
- You can also use connectors as a fusing material. You will only see connectors with the same rarity as the one socketed to the chip on the motherboard.
- The rarity is determined by the number of connections.
- If your chip is socketed with a rare 2-sided connector, then only another rare connector can be used for fusing.
- Depending on the rarity, the connectors multiply the XP value provided by the chip.
- The chips and connectors used for fusion are destroyed, providing you with XP.

2. UPGRADED MOTHERBOARD BONUSES
We upgraded four of the Motherboard bonuses. They will directly impact the base stats of the Drones and Mechs, rather than the bonuses, making them much more dominant in battle.

They have no unit ratio condition and will be permanently active.

Here are the update bonuses:
- Increases Drone's Base Damage by X% and reduces its Base Health by Y%.
- Increases Mech's Base Damage by X% and reduces its Base Health by Y%.
- Increases Drone's Base Health by X% and reduces its Base Damage by Y%.
- Increases Mech's Base Health by X% and reduces its Base Damage by Y%

3. BATTLE REPORT UPGRADE
We've added data about the impact of all Motherboard bonuses to Battle Reports so you can enjoy a better overview of how your army performed.

4. PROGRAMMING MENU UPGRADE
- We modified the main Programming menu to show all the elements that scale the Motherboard bonuses.
- You will see the Base Motherboard bonus, the Chip-Slot Match bonus, the bonus for a max level chip, and the bonus for matching all the chips to all the slots.

5. ADVANCED RESEARCH
- This new type of Research gives you various bonuses that are much more powerful than the original Research.
- Advanced Research will become available when you reach a certain level of the Research Institute.
- To start using it, you'll need the new Violetium Essence. Other than this, Advanced Research works the same way as the original one.

1.1 New Drones & Mechs Event
Welcome to the new Programming Event! This event grants points for socketing connectors and chips, enhancing your units and commanders.

1.2 Two New Motherboard Chips
One of the most exciting additions in this update is the introduction of two chip types: Unique and Joker.

a) Unique Chips: These unique chips are limited to one per motherboard and provide an impactful permanent bonus to your units and commanders. They come with a matching slot on the motherboard. Fill with the corresponding chip to increase the motherboard bonus, following the established motherboard logic.

b) The Joker Chip bonus has a crucial advantage, although its bonus is not as powerful as regular chips, in that you can place the Joker in any motherboard slot. Its strength is that the Joker allows you to bypass the slot color restrictions and get the most out of your motherboard bonus by fulfilling the matching requirements of the slots.

c) Getting the New Chips
- Unique Chips can be obtained from chip chests of Epic rarity, adding another layer of strategy to your gameplay.
- Joker Chips are part of the Rare chip chest pool.

Her first ability increases your Drones' survivability, granting them a dodge chance and a damage boost after dodging an attack.

Her second ability allows your Drones to fire at an additional target, always targeting the strongest enemy stack of units.

Like her colleagues, Lieutenant Kitty also has a Specialization Talent Tree of passive bonuses, which we will review in an upcoming YouTube video. Stay tuned!

Welcome to the future of warfare, General! Update 50 is here! Let’s dive into its game-changing elements!

1. THE DRONE & THE MECH UNITS

Ground-breaking new units are here to revolutionize the game, transform your battle strategy, and provide you with the extraordinary ability to turn the tides in any battle.

The DRONES are deadly offensive units that strike from above.
The MECHS are defensive-oriented war machines.

The Drones and Mechs are unique because you can customize them with new, cutting-edge Programming, which allows you to obtain and enhance various crucial bonuses.

On top of the standard unit stats, the Drones and Mechs have exclusive Passive Skills!
DRONES:
- Odd-numbered tier Drones, AKA Hornets, deal bonus damage when attacking.
- The Valkyries, or the even-numbered tier Drones, provide bonus armor when attacking.

MECHS
- The odd-tier Mantis Mech units boost damage when defending.
- The Myrmidons, or the even-tier Mechs, enhance armor when defending.

1.1 DRONE & MECH PROGRAMMING
- The Drones and Mechs have a unique motherboard with seven slots and ten connections.

- By socketing chips to the motherboard’s slots, you can enhance and customize the new units from the inside with various formidable Offensive and Defensive bonuses.

- Each chip has a percentage range for the impact of its bonus.

- You can massively increase this range by adding connector items to the chip.

- When you socket a chip to a slot on the motherboard, its bonus is activated and takes a random percentage from its current range.

- You can increase the final bonus by connecting the chip to other chips on the motherboard.

- The motherboard also has a special MOTHERBOARD BONUS that boosts all units from a particular type in your active army by transferring a percentage of their bonus from one unit type to another. For example, a bonus might apply 40% of your armored damage to your Aerial HP.

- The transfer bonus stacks on top of what you already have, so it doesn't remove or decrease your existing enhancements.

- Receiving the full power of the motherboard bonus depends on the percentage of Drones or Mechs you have in your active army.

- The motherboard bonuses come with a condition: To benefit from their full power, you must have a certain percentage of Drones or Mechs in battle. Operating with a smaller quantity than that which is requested for the specific bonus will result in a weaker effect.

- The type of bonus will define which unit, between Drones and Mechs, must join your army.

- You will best benefit from the Programming if you vary your army to maximize your bonus transfer!

- The motherboard bonus can be further increased by socketing chips to their matching color-coded slots.

- If all seven slots have the correct chips installed, the motherboard bonus increases even more.

1.2 PROGRAMMING CENTER
The programming of the Drones and Mechs occurs in the new Programming Center, unlocked at HQ level 24.

This new addition will provide you with 2 means to increase your bonuses - Motherboard bonus and Chips


1.3 BUILDING DRONES AND MECHS
- You can craft the new units in the Unit Factory.
- Repairs and modernization take place in the Garage.
- The first two tiers require the standard resources used for building units.
- To build Tier 11-15 drones and mechs you would need the new Debris Parts
- To unlock Debris, you need to build the Programming Center.
- Debris accumulates from destroyed units in combat.
- To unlock in-battle Debris, you must reach level 4 of the Programming Center.
- You can also get Debris by salvaging chips and connectors.

The mighty Lieutenants are invaluable new characters you can attach to your Commander's convoys, boosting your army immensely and providing groundbreaking special skills and bonuses!

Each hero is unique, with superpowers that allow you to tailor your army composition and create dynamic strategic combinations.

A) BASICS
- Six Lieutenants are coming with Update 46. And more are on the way!

- You can unlock all six Lieutenants at level 1 on 29.06 FOR FREE!

- The Lieutenants are managed and recruited through the new LIEUTENANTS HQ. You will be able to build and use it after the update becomes mandatory on 06/28. You have to be level 22 or above to do it.

- Each Lieutenant has a unit specification. That means that they are connected to a particular unit type.

- Every Lieutenant has a rank, sub-ranks, and levels. You can increase them to make your Lieutenants as strong as possible.

- You can add not one but two Lieutenants to the same army, but they have to be of different types.

- The same Lieutenant can only join one convoy at a time.


B) LIEUTENANT SKILLS
a) The Lieutenants have two game-changing special skills, providing incredible bonuses to your armies.

b) The Lieutenants will also have two additional sets of powerful stats.
- The Baseline bonuses are Lieutenant-specific and increase with each new level.
- The Specialization ones are passive bonuses connected to the Lieutenant's skill tree. The tree of every hero has many powerful passive skills alongside its branches that improve the specific unit type of the particular Lieutenant.


C) RECRUITING
- You unlock Lieutenants and increase their rank by collecting enough of their Lieutenant shards in combination with Rank-Ups.
- You will receive 10 Lieutenant shards for each hero on 29.06! This will allow you to unlock all heroes at level 1 for FREE.
- You can obtain Lieutenant shards and Rank-Ups by using the Recruit section of the LIEUTENANTS HQ building.
- To do that, you need Lieutenant Recruit shards, which you can get from various channels, including the Recruit section. You have one free Recruit action every 24 hours. And on 29.06, we will gift you five Recruit shards!
- We will have brand-new epic Lieutenant events, awarding top prizes for upgrading your heroes.
