Defenders!

Our curious Audrey has found a secret wing in the Castle with a number of rooms overgrown with cobwebs in it... full of treasures and the Creeps, of course! Are you ready to challenge the ancient monsters, continuing your thorny path through the ancient Castle?

To fight the Creeps that you have unwittingly pulled out of their monster sleep you will need some help. The catalysts' discovery helped summon a squad of new fighters, who will gladly join your team and help you in your fight for the Castle. They will also be useful for your daily affairs in the Prime Zone.

⚠️ Please note:

❕ All Heroes mentioned above have a foil version;

❕ Epic and legendary Heroes are active only inside the Castle, but can be hired to the ship with other Heroes of the same group that are also active outside the Castle;

❕ Mythic Heroes are active both inside and outside the Castle. All bonus parameters that the towers receive from them are much higher inside the Castle.



As for the secret chambers full of treasures ... Now, after clearing a level of the Castle, with a certain chance bonus levels where you can battle will appear. They are more difficult than the same levels of the Castle, but the reward is worth it! Your efforts will be rewarded in full.





Still getting used to the Castle?! The time has come! After clearing the bonus level, you can also get foil card shards! That being said, in most cases, you will see collectible foil shards as a reward!

How do you like that, Audrey?



🔅 In addition to the general rules of playing in the Castle, at the bonus level, you cannot use the cards with which you won the last battle;

🔅 The difficulty of the bonus level can be lowered in exchange for Stars. It will not reduce your reward, but the Creeps will be noticeably “lighter” at the level;

🔅 Clearing the bonus level does NOT require energy. Try as much as you like. The attempt fee is a certain amount of Silver.



🔸 Move through the Castle by using other towers to unlock the set of cards you will need to clear the bonus level;

🔸 In this update, we have added a Replay button to the Castle. Replay the current level with other towers to find your own way to clear the bonus level.


Defenders, put your best foot forward and conquer the ancient Castle! May the luck be with you in your battles!

Defenders!

The new update is just around the corner, and we are preparing a number of goodies that you will have a chance to enjoy in the near future!
Now, we would like to tell you about a new feature that never was a part of Defenders 2 before ːsteamhappyː


You have written to us that the quests in their current form are not really interesting for various reasons, especially because of the reward in the form of keys. Well, you asked for it, you got it! We have listened to you and redesigned this tab completely, so that it will be fun for players of ALL levels.

And in the next update, we will present completely updated quests. There will be a series of story quests with some cool rewards for their completion. You can kill two birds with one stone: learn more about the universe of Prime World: Defenders 2 and receive some valuable prizes, among which there are valuable resources, chests of up to mythical rarity, shadow shards, and much more!

Well, what kind of story is it if it does not have a prologue? Do not worry. We are thrilled to share with you the opening comic of Defenders 2, which kicks off the story-driven quest in the game!









After installing update 1.9.10, you will see the "Quests" tab in story quests. Several special quests will be available to you. To complete these quests, you will need cards that meet the requirements.





Also, right away you will be able to see the reward you will receive for completion of the quest, the time it takes to complete it, and the cost of launching it.
And the icing on the cake: each quest includes a plot fragment of the world of Defenders 2's history ːsteamhappyː






🔹 Having a Premium will double the rewards received.
🔹 You can speed up the quest's progress by paying a certain number of stars.

Please note that this is just the beginning of a big storyline. New quests will be added to the game on a regular basis, providing you a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the amazing world of Prime World: Defenders 2, as well as rewarding you handsomely for completing the quests.

Well, off you go to the next great adventure in the world of Prime World: Defenders 2 ːsteamhappyː

The Hunters of Terra update drops at the very beginning of the month on June 2 on PC. The update brings a shiny new class, the Bounty Hunter, as well a new Squad Adventure and new Dungeon. Explore the depths of Terra and unravel the mysteries of this subterranean maze.



The Mechanoids continue their onslaught on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox. The month of June will see all four distortions become available, as well as the Avatar of the Invasion: The Integrator. Complete quests to earn progress points and get yourself a number of great rewards, including a brand new Divine Form, Cyberpunk-themed cosmetics, and lots more!


 
The Gorgonides are approaching Aelion, trying to find inspiration for new battle tactics to help them in their own wars. We cannot let Akonita and her underlings be victorious! Until then, progress points to finish up the Phytonide Invasion Pass are available to buy at the in-game Market for Argents so you don’t have to miss any prizes!

 
Class guides continue to be rolled out, so keep an eye out for those if your favorite class still hasn’t been explored. The new Bounty Hunter will of course be the subject of a guide this month! If there are any guides on classes or in-game mechanics that you’d like to see, feel free to let us know on Discord (PC, PS, Xbox, Switch).
 
IMPORTANT: The dates and content featured in this article may be subject to change. Please stay tuned to official Skyforge channels for further news and announcements.

Join the CM team for our regular Tuesday's fresh characters stream! We'll continue levelling up our characters and have some fun on the way!

We are also live on Twitch!

We are happy to present you with completely revamped quests. There will be a series of story quests with some cool rewards for their completion!
By completing the quests, you can kill two birds with one stone: learn more about the world of Prime World: Defenders 2 and receive some valuable prizes, among which there are valuable resources, chests of up to mythical rarity, shadow shards, and much more! Learn more about the new story quests on our social networks.

Well, what kind of story is it if it does not have a prologue? New players can now enjoy an amazing storyline comic at the start of the game. Our experienced Defenders are also not left behind: the comic is already available on all our social networks!


While the Castle has been standing still and proud, its development has not. Meet new bonus levels where you can battle and receive foil card shards and other valuable prizes as a reward!

And what about new Heroes? Well, here they come! The catalysts' discovery helped summon a squad of new fighters, who will gladly join your team and help you in your fight for the Castle. They will also be useful for your daily affairs in the Prime Zone. You can meet them at the Castle's Trading area.


Here and there in a blink of an eye! Meet a completely new game mechanic designed to make the gameplay even more immersive!

Before going into details, we would like to note that in the next game updates we will expand the line of such cards! Now let's welcome the first cards with the new mechanics:

Crystal Teleport is a legendary tower that moves the Creeps a few tiles back. Just like the stun/fear, the teleport has a chance to be triggered, and the Creeps gradually gain immunity to this effect.
Teleportation is a mythical spell that, at your command, will move the Creeps in the selected area to a farther distance.

Isn't it cool?

As usual, you will be able to get the new cards at one of the following events.



Burning Roots. The burning turned out to be not powerful enough, so we hastened to fix it. The tower now deals more damage and slows down the Creeps even more.

We also introduce a foil version of the Burning Roots. This tower deals double damage to the underground Creeps.

Flying Smasher. The card upgrades now increase the stun chance.
Moreover, now you can insert runes to increase the stun chance, and the Heroes who have the same effect will strengthen the tower. Not enough? Anomalies and Speed runes now increase the stone fire rate.

Snowball has undergone treatment similar to the Smasher. Card upgrades increase the chance of slowing down. You can also insert runes to increase the chance of slowing down, and Heroes who have the same effect will strengthen the tower. Anomalies and ​​Speed runes increase the snowball fire rate.

Tower of Order. Well, the name speaks for itself. Now, similar to the Purifier, it removes buffs (even immunities!) from the Creeps, but now it is an AREA effect! It no longer slows down the Creeps.
The foil version of this card further increases the duration of the silence effect.

Meteor. We have listened to your requests! From now on, runes for the main parameter increase the stun duration (we have not forgotten about battle improvements ).
THE CREEPS WILL NOT PASS.
The foil version of the card now additionally increases the stun duration!

Queen. This card was not a real match for its royal name in various game situations. We have made some changes to it, so now the card will become a welcome addition to your deck. Now, the tower increases damage to flying enemies by 4 times!


➕ We are making some visual changes! We have updated the icon for the mythical chest. It now reflects the value and importance of this magnificent chest.
➕ Please note that from now on, after trying to impose the fear effect on Gnolls, Wolfhounds, and Magi, the slowing effects cease to act on them.


✔️ Fixed a bug with the effects of the curse being summed incorrectly in some cases;
✔️ Fixed a bug with the icon "Blocking the path for underground enemies" not being displayed, when inserting a rune with this effect in the tower;
✔️ Fixed a bug with totems that deal damage, when, in some cases, they dealt a disproportionate amount of damage to the Creeps;
✔️ Fixed a bug with Magma not inflicting the desired debuff on the Yeti;
✔️ Fixed a bug with the speed anomaly not increasing the attack speed of the Flying Smasher;
✔️ Fixed a bug where the Curse spell card received an increased effect duration with in-battle upgrades, instead of effectiveness;
✔️ Fixed a bug when it was impossible to insert runes into the Seismic Slammer, that block a path for underground and flying enemies;
✔️ Fixed a bug with selecting tokens in the "Resources" tab when irrelevant information about the method of obtaining them was displayed;
✔️ Fixed a bug in Katana's description: the foil bonus increases Silver income by 20%;
✔️ Fixed the Flying Saucer's description: now it reflects the tower's essence more clearly;
✔️ Fixed a visual bug where the effect of the Aim tower was not displayed on the foil versions of the Hornet Hive, Electric Tower, and Tower of Order;
✔️ Fixed a visual error with the visual effects of some towers (the Spider Nest and Sky Eye) not being displayed in the Castle not being displayed.

The game performance is of great importance to us and we are continuously analyzing it in order to identify potential for improvement. We reached the milestone for better graphics performance with the last Vulkan update. Currently the focus is on the simulation performance.



In Transport Fever 2, each person and cargo is simulated individually. There is no limit for the population or number of cargo items. Other aspects of the game, such as the complexity of the road network, are also not limited by the game itself.

The simulation performance is mainly dependent on the available computing power. In the coming summer update, improvements will be implemented and the calculation time for the simulation steps will be reduced. We will also try to further optimize performance in the future.

There will be more information about the summer update next week.

Champions!

After a week of Paladins Birthday fun in the Realm, we’re hoping you have a great start to your week this Monday! We have a weekend bonus planned for you so here’s what you can expect:
