[naive mantle]

whats ascendant like? should i try it? anything like the orignial?

i was about to hop on for a gauntlet and am seeing ascendant news

[ashen mango]

It's quite different from the original, this is worth a shot I think
I'm in the queue if you want to get rekt 🤝

[naive mantle]

just updating 😄

[shut yacht]

Holy lag

[ashen mango]

On Abyssal Basin?

[shut yacht]

Ya on it now with afflunc

[ashen mango]

It's very late so I'm going to sleep

[ashen mango]

This map is very resource intensive for some reason

[naive mantle]

no worries, 67% here, ill see if i can get in with anyone else tonight 🙂

[ebon aspen]

Going to sleep early. Next time broski

[shut yacht]

The water ripples?

[prisma yarrow]

@ashen mango i am back

[ashen mango]

I'm going to sleep

Have fun 🫡

[naive mantle]

someone go me 😄

[prisma yarrow]

gn

[shut yacht]

That’s it, when water ripples show up on abysmal basin, gauntlet lags hard

[prisma yarrow]

whene you give me points, they will most likly go back to @ashen mango eventually lol

[naive mantle]

im gonna keep getting wrecked for the next 30mins if you want to collect lol

[prisma yarrow]

they are kind of slow to match us...

[naive mantle]

i was making a team

is there a rule for moving illuvials?

[scarlet spindle]

You can move them freely the round that you place them, but after that it costs 2 gold to buy movement ability for another round.

[naive mantle]

i see i se thanks 🙂

[low comet]

why this is so few?

[noble hinge]

Team Planner - Illuvial Ownership not working for me either, my Illuvials aren't showing up to slot in and some categories are missing, like Axodon.

ETA - played a game and it is working now. Maybe try again @low comet

[west musk]

3/8

[low comet]

what mode you played? i tried ascendant, it didnt update.

[west plume]

https://tenor.com/view/man-slaps-everyone-gif-24158547

Someone should make a sota GIF of this one

[noble hinge]

Gauntlet Ranked

[zenith mortar]

There is one with jag somewhere

[prisma yarrow]

this one should be for @viral marsh

[west plume]

Of course

[west plume]

I only have one Gif

And it's horrible

Also

[jolly whale]

Weird.... Just had a game. Got upto level 9 and round 26+ cant remember exactly, but didnt get a single ramphy. Also no other players were using him...... Managed to get a maxed out Phosphorus in that time, but didnt see a single ramphy?????

[worn tree]

You can check it on the website

[jolly whale]

+1 for leaderboar in que 😛

[bronze spire]

are people queing more for 1v1 or gauntlet atm?

[jolly whale]

for now yes.... had on average 6 players

[bronze spire]

which one haha

classic yes answer to a multi choice

[jolly whale]

sorry read that wrong lol.... gauntlet 6 players per game..... havnt tried 1v1 yet

[bronze spire]

oh nice

[jolly whale]

lol now im ina game with 7 bots so ummm yeah!

Getting some weird lag in gauntlet atm @worn tree units taking 3-4 seconds to move and augaments taking a few seconds to roll

[worldly token]

anyone down for ascendant?

ooh I actually found a game 😄

[mellow bolt]

Is it live ?

[jolly whale]

Interesting...... As someone who has probably higher than average Illuvial level, I actually get more XP from facing all bots than I do from facing other players. The Illuvial level average is like 30 when I face all bots, but often its much lower vs other players

[mellow bolt]

Can someone explain the ownership bonuses to me I think I understand, but I just wanna make sure owning five copies of the exact same unit gives me the max multiplier?

[safe valve]

No, don't need 5 copies

i assume you are reffering to the 5 stages for each stat in the stat-hex.
Each stage grants you a 8% stat increase. up to 40% when maxed out.

[viral marsh]

shock build+usseles mystic+2 predators. yes. seems like random S3.

[mellow bolt]

Thank you 🙏

[twilit storm]

@worn tree hotfix patch?

[jolly whale]

Surprise patch!

[twilit storm]

@zenith mortar ser, tried GSD? oh..my

Get sh*t done...amazing tool

[jolly whale]

1/2 Anyone wannna play?

[worn tree]

yes, some debugging.

This one should fix the disappeared skins and the lynx on the team planner.

[jolly whale]

Yup thanks Mil

Nil

[rose haven]

is arena ranking still paying weekly?

[jolly whale]

Very big delays when refreshing Illuvials inbetween round!

[drifting kindle]

stupid question but how do u guys manage to get your lynxs to a affinity...how can i choose it

[twilit storm]

not in ascendant

[twilit storm]

u can see the class if you click bottom right, you will see what lynx it will be

[sturdy robin]

my slashin is 50 levels

😒

[drifting kindle]

thank you

[next flame]

Anyone else seen verdant not proc??

Lost the last round from it lol?

[viral marsh]

verdant composit heal even less that archie stage-2.
it's proc 10 second after fight start. but i don't recomend play it

[next flame]

Hey bro yeah I was about to win the match with it and it didnt go off last round and I lost the game! Goofy seen!!

@zenith mortarHey come get some bro! U quiet?

[jolly whale]

Lightning seems pretty op!

[outer surge]

What were you pairing with it to make it feel that way? Tried it a few times and while satisfying to watch, I didn't think it was THAT good.

[jolly whale]

Well I was facing fox spirit so that makes anything seem op! but tried it myself as Shock/enchanter missed the rai and tibi ruko so only 2 shock. was still very good!

[safe valve]

probably best to pair it with raw burst damage (Illuvials + Augments). Otherwhise the shock might just be counter-healed and did nothing.

haven't played it myself yet tho

[viral marsh]

how you counter 20% of hp dmg every second to 3 illuvials for 10 second?
your healer not get enough mana to heal.

[outer surge]

Does Energy Resistance help null the damage or is it pure?

[viral marsh]

probably. but it's doing % dmg. so not sure

[safe valve]

you have shields, energy restistance, invu drone augments etc. if 1 falls shit happens

i've just encountered 2 shocks but they didn't do really much

[jolly whale]

maybe not that op

definetly cool watching all the lightning tho!

[shut yacht]

Gained 7 rating points taking 2nd against drach/sylen/goofy …whatever

[west musk]

Yah I think I was fooled by all the zap zap zap 😄⚡️

[jolly whale]

Your monkier was laying the smack down!

[ashen mango]

I'm suggesting it for better convenience and to make the game look more polished/complete

[west musk]

How everyone feeling about the new gauntlet/simplified system?

[ashen mango]

It's fine so far but I haven't played much

[violet summit]

What's the new meta?

Asking for a friend

then I need to go shopping 🤣

is the EXP boost really worth it?

[sturdy robin]

You can practice for the competitions. Now with 4-5 illuvials you won't defeat the bots and collect 150-200 economy 😄

[outer surge]

I personally like it a lot. However I completely understand those that liked the complexity of the old system. I like that every Illuvial on the board makes an impact on something and that you actively miss out on other boosts that could effect your entire team if you focus too heavily on one thing. Like having more than 5 Bulwarks or Water units.

[west plume]

be gentle @noble hinge Leave Lars at home please

not looking great

[safe valve]

Lars getting rekt by Lars sounds Like destiny tho

[west plume]

Lars was shy today

[noble hinge]

Lars stayed home, but his wife and her best friend did the job.

[noble hinge]

I thought you had me on that last game.😬

[safe valve]

Best friend Steve?

[safe valve]

Shame

[west plume]

i did do a pre celebration cheer but it faded quick

[noble hinge]

No, Ember, Lars the Rhamphyre's wife and her best friend, another Rhamphite who I don't know the name of.😂

[noble hinge]

I closed my eyes and was peeking through my fingers because I thought I lost.😂

[west plume]

just noticed this little gem

"Did you Boost?" ofcourse i boost

[scarlet spindle]

Is it tho? I thought it was 20% total after its done, not 20% per second.

2% per second for 10 seconds

[viral marsh]

if it will be 2% - i will not see how units die 1 by 1.
and if it will be 7-20% total, it will not worth build or even think about it

[scarlet spindle]

It must work different than that or you would have 3+ units die right at the beginning of the match

[outer surge]

Tried it out last game with just 2 Shock. Without any healing, I was able to take about 1/4 of a Phyriox's health away just by Shock proc very consistently.

So 3 Shock or 4 Shock I'd imagine would do 1/2 and 3/4 damage pretty well uncontested unless you are building healing, shields, and resistances.

[scarlet spindle]

thats 25%. If you are doing 8% per sec that would be 80% dead in 10 seconds

if you had 4 shock, you would do 160% dmg in 10 seconds

so youd kill 3 or 4 units before the fight really started

I mean, it does say that, but I can't remember seeing that happen

[outer surge]

There is potential that 4 Shock could be the new Mud. Where all of your units are contested and you risk a lot rolling for it. But if you get it you are godlike

[scarlet spindle]

I think it "says" does dmg per second and then gives a total.

So 4 shock would be 20% total damage over 10 seconds, taking damage each second, not 20% per second.

Yeah this new simplification is for the birds, put it back for Gauntlet please

[safe valve]

@worn tree can you clarify the dmg of shock?

[viral marsh]

i'm prety sure it's doing this dmg per second.
i got 4 shock only in 1 or 2 games. but in 1 of them 1-2 units die for this 10 second.
i think energy resistance work, so it's not 20% but 10-14%. it's why not everything die.
but 2-3 shock not so strong. it's not like mud - you build 4 and easy win. but it's absolutely much better that current inferno

or most of other synergy's. verdant/enchanter which healing 500-2000 for full fight.

[zenith mortar]

@mellow bolt Come at me bro

NBD @west plume

[mellow bolt]

Hahahaha

gg

They are in my office

[mellow bolt]

lol

Once my baby done eating you guys are toast

How do you change your deck of cards for ascendant cause right now it’s exactly the same as gauntlet they shuffle. It’s totally random.?!?!?

[zenith mortar]

Yes

You gotta get gud

[mellow bolt]

At rolling

Let me know when your ready mijo

I’m ready to dance 💃

[mellow bolt]

Dam they really fucked up on this one…. Game is too short to get t5 units and still rolling . … not ascendant.

🤦 smh

Why rolling why not a set deck ????

[mellow bolt]

Gg whoever that is

Not Lars

Xjedi GGs

[arctic turtle]

Exactly what I've been saying it is not Acendent. I want them to bring back original Acendent and just adjust things slightly so it works in the current build. If people don't want to build a deck they can just go play Gantlet

[summer frigate]

Building decks is a horrible idea

[mellow bolt]

Convincing people to spend money on units that they will never get to use is an even worse idea

[mellow bolt]

Take money off the table you spend 80 hours a week leveling up your units. You spend money on XP boost you never get that unit. Tell me how that’s a good idea.

[summer frigate]

You can get to use them if you have skill

[jolly whale]

What a quack up

Toxic is pretty damn strong

[summer frigate]

They just need to reduce the dmg you take when you lose and thats it

[scarlet spindle]

Because it becomes too flow-charty

you tuber shows you what to do, then thousands of people who dont understand what they are doing just follow the chart. This unit here in round 2. This unit here and round 3..

And since they were actually meta builds, you had to play mirror matches because most other things you tried wouldn't beat them and losing 10 or 15 games just trying to figure out what beats them was bad for your rating. So you just got good at boring mirror matches.

I could see picking a favorite and having a 15 % bonus chance to get that one in any given draw, but straight up build a deck and just use that wasn't great.

If we were each made to figure out our own it would be fine, but with getting top strats and meta builds on youtube for everyone just prevents that from being a viable option.

[arctic turtle]

Well then you can stay in Gantlet its that simple

[summer frigate]

Yeah, its going to be a lot of fun playing only mirror matches with the deck build option

[ebon aspen]

3/8

6/8

[mellow bolt]

This is why the game will never work because all of you are convinced that there’s a right way, but in the real world when people buy things they want to get to be able to use them the sooner you guys figure that out the sooner everything is gonna work itself out I need to be able to get on the game, swipe my credit card and pay to win. Look at cosmetics call of duty Fortnite. They have no purpose people want to use their skins in the game. The money has to make sense. That’s what all of you who argue against the set deck. Need to understand if I pay cold hard cash if I pay money for something and I don’t get to use it it’s not justified spending the money. Go to dinner order a steak baked potato with a side of rice pilaf and they only bring you the steak, no baked potato no rice. Does that make sense to you? You go to a restaurant and they only bring you half of what you ordered.

Here’s a real world example today I got a $400 driver in the mail. The golf club came with no head cover and it’s supposed to come with a head cover so I called the place and they apologize and they’re gonna send me a free head cover plus a $$25 gift card to the store if I’m wrong why would the merchant or the business offer me a free replacement and give me money?

[ashen mango]

It makes sense

[shut yacht]

Dimitri lynx took out my exhalted moniker in ascendant, by itself. So cards still have purity and level power I guess

[scarlet spindle]

Be careful queue jumping. It put me in two games at once. I won my Ascendant game and went back out to a reconnect screen, which put me into a Gauntlet that had been going to whole time and I lost 37 pts

I had been in Asc queue and left and jumped into Gauntlet queue , but when it found a 8/8 match, it actually loaded me into the Ascendant game instead.

[ebon aspen]

@sturdy robin mic not working right now

[sturdy robin]

ah ok, np

in game bro?

🙂

[ebon aspen]

yes

[sturdy robin]

gl 🤞

[worldly token]

someone down for ascendant?

[ashen mango]

I've been in the queue for 17 mins but it looks like there aren't many people playing it

I'm leaving now and will try later

[worldly token]

Yeah I was in a queue for about 20 min aswell and gave up 😅

[viral marsh]

stay in que for 20 mins, then realize other game start without me.
when fix that?

[sturdy robin]

I love this. Immortals 😄

[ashen mango]

How did you get these shields? 👀

[sturdy robin]

Augments + 7 empath 🙂

I'm not a good player but in my opinion 7 empath is one of the ops

[ashen mango]

Why 7 and not just 5 since now the max threshold is 5?

[sturdy robin]

I said I'm not a good player 🤣🤣🤣🤣 (I didn't know that)

[ashen mango]

I'm in the ascendant queue

Let's fight ⚔️

[viral marsh]

if anyone still don't know what is meta

[burnt notch]

Good day everyone, anyway after the update I’m missing border, skin ranger, emotional .... 😟😟

[sturdy robin]

This lobby 🎉

[wild kiln]

https://tenor.com/view/escape-gif-5626762

[sturdy robin]

gg guys

[ebon aspen]

those lvl 60 S1 Lynx hurt 🤣

that entire game only 1 Apon

[safe valve]

should be fixed with last update.
Make sure your client is up to date.
If it is, i would recommend to contact support with hitting "B" ingame.

[burnt notch]

I’ll try it soon .... 🙏🙏

[ebon aspen]

The empath shield with only 5 threshold is ridiculous 🤣 brings back memories of never ending shields where you cant even see health bars anymore

[sturdy robin]

hey guys. Are we doing a full lobby?

[ebon aspen]

one just stared

[ebon aspen]

is there something wrong with Devs ? we are be back we started again with infinite shields and rouges + Revenant

[viral marsh]

problem not only shields

let me fun a bit. then probably i tell what have to play 🙂

[ebon aspen]

back to Nebera days 🤣

[viral marsh]

yesterday i play 2 games. and patch was so bored for me.
but today i find something interesting and play all day.

[ebon aspen]

next few days everyone will play this 😂

[viral marsh]

if they understand what have to do

[ebon aspen]

then Mystic + empath and Earth, Bloom with Phorus also works then right? the old build

[ebon aspen]

but all Devs have to do is let you play for few hours and you can point out Broken builds right way to them

[viral marsh]

they nerf penguin half year. even people say to them he broken

[ebon aspen]

I keep thinking about your build, so then you need 2 augments which scale (omega ) on hitting shield 4 Invokers , maybe with 600-800 omega t5s3 can do something?

[viral marsh]

to slow AS. and sinalph not get omega with beam

[ebon aspen]

Ophisto carry

[viral marsh]

psion garbage. i die from 1 unit here

[ebon aspen]

well this sucks for me cause that is what I paly mostly 😂 thanks for the heads up

[viral marsh]

and most of energy augs as well not so good.
but actually - all augs is...strange

[ebon aspen]

it seems all augments are intended not carry 1 unit to win entire game like Umbre

unless its a legendary

[viral marsh]

but, it's not interesting play with them.
they just cut 1 of fun things in game. augs which give stats and something good

you can craft whatever and it's mostly not have big impact for you/your team

[ebon aspen]

does this mean basically entire patch is geared to be noob friendly to onboarding new players for simplicity

[hot pond]

Looks like it I guess

[viral marsh]

here we go again....

a bit low crit chance. need legendary for stack it

[ebon aspen]

I got Scoriox to 1.8k AD with 2 Arcynate

[viral marsh]

this patch?

[ebon aspen]

it was on tesnet before moving to main net last week something like that

[safe valve]

can still go crazy in this patch.
i had a scoriox doing 50k damage against tanky corner comp.
If i hadn't a rhamphite aswell dealing 25k he probably would have done a lot more

[ebon aspen]

600 Omega Ophisto with 4 invoker was fun 🤣

[safe valve]

Until you Face air

do you think invoker good?
feels l ike almost the weakest composite

[ebon aspen]

by far Psion suck right now period

and especially when you really cant Add Omega augments to it

30 Omega +3% DMG

[noble hinge]

Glad to see the suit and drone skins back in arena BUT still can't choose between all my Illuvitars. Am I missing something or is it the way it is now where we only get to choose between some not all?

[ebon aspen]

got Scoriox to 900 with 2 Arc😒

[viral marsh]

if you stack 3 energy piercing it's give a bit.

[prisma yarrow]

i though he would had done better

[ebon aspen]

you played him as a tank 🤣

[ebon aspen]

my game lags during my day hours but in the evening it runs so smooth

[prisma yarrow]

i didnt know where to put my bulwalk but his damage dont scale with health3

the team was over all pretty strong at the end

[ebon aspen]

well when you got lvl 60 Phosp it better littery 2 shots anything 🤣

[prisma yarrow]

mmm i didnt know I had that and now I cant see how much I spent for it

I think I traded it from Anon

[safe valve]

Pretty much is a tanky supporter now.
Sear should do a Ton more damage than jotun

[hot pond]

So how much xp can you make with max boosters and first place ? Same as the 20-25k as before the patch?

[safe valve]

feels like with 2x boost you can get very close to what you had before with the 20-25k.
But as soon as bug is resolved with ranger and bot levels, i think you get a good bit higher than that.

[hot pond]

But there will be higher boost too later right?

[safe valve]

for example you face 3 players now with somewhat good collections and you win the last couple games where high tier high stage illuvials are on the board you can get 12k exp without boost

[safe valve]

yea apparently the high boost is just disabled now.

[hot pond]

Will need to see how much we can get with higher boosters then

[outer surge]

With the last win I just got in a 3/8 player lobby, I got 21k. So yeah right in that range

[safe valve]

if it's the 6x boost and they stack as mentioned and the bot/ranger level bug is resolve, i would assume we face 150k ish a game

maybe more

[outer surge]

I know all of you with maxed teams already would hate it but that would be an amazing boost

[hot pond]

That amount would be good to play even in this boring state

[viral marsh]

i think bots scaling already resolve. as well as ranger scaling.
but.
i have 1 player with me in game. we both have good deck.
and bots have only lvl 22-25 this game.
so i think it's limited scale for them.

and about ranger scale - seems need work better with this thing. i have 1200hp with almost maxed team. and my opponent with lvl1 team have 1050hp

so, ranger still just thing for synergy's and not unit for battle.
2500hp ranger or 8000hp Sear. seems fair.

[safe valve]

potato mode for that board doesn't seem to work 😄

[ebon aspen]

wow Invokers total garbage no damage at all can't even kill S2 Quinx seriously ??? It should kill Quinx with a single laser first cast what is going on ....

[outer surge]

That was an all Air team right?

[safe valve]

how many air he has?

[ebon aspen]

4 only

so 3-4 Air units completely negates Invokers 😂

what a joke

t5 S2 with 3 Invokers should be deleting anything t3 S2 with one cast

[wild kiln]

https://tenor.com/view/flash-light-mode-funny-gif-26499136

[outer surge]

What augments were you running

[ebon aspen]

4 air 60 resistance 🤣 come one guys just think a little

60 resistance and then its also an Empath

then how can you delete tanks and fighters now? when all you have to is add few air units resist?

[safe valve]

gg sylen 😄
that stabbin was silly

[viral marsh]

don't forget about spore and vermilliare he's omega was reworked.

[ebon aspen]

I just realized👀 5 air gives you 100 resist

[viral marsh]

and your 3 invoker give less that 5 psion's

[ebon aspen]

so right now i have a Quinx with 184 resist

good luck any Invoker killing it while it heals and charms

Jokul 200 resist with 5 figthers

[viral marsh]

scoriox doing 0 dmg to 5 earth. even part of his dmg magic.
have just accept that this psion/invoker etc - just dead part of game.
and it was same for long time.
yes some patches they play a bit.
corner+verdant.
or when Umbre was unit you can play.
but i have 0 idea what you can do whith them now.

[ebon aspen]

so for fun all these units have 185-210 resist except monkey / perfect 💪

[ebon aspen]

back to fighters and rougues as before I guess

[viral marsh]

have learn game again. not sure old things work now

[outer surge]

I have a few suggestions from the screenshot you provided.
You are having issues with damage:

• You only have 3 Psions. Yes you may have the Invokers but there is damage left on the table.
• Based off of your opponents positioning at the end of this battle, this suggests your team was spread out. While this could work, it's tough to do. Bunkering up in the corner works more often imo. Especially since Vermilliare has free access to debuff your Invokers.
• You dodged my question in regards to augments. I'll give benefit of the doubt that you know this already but just in case. There are Energy augments that deal with high Shielding and high Energy Resistance.
  These may not have won you the game still. But would have given you a better shot imo

[ebon aspen]

I think now you have to combine 5 fire+3 air , 5 nature +3 something things like that

[ebon aspen]

when you have 250+ omega on Invoker and it does nothing to a Quinx which only cost 9 points you dont see a problem there ?

[outer surge]

No problem at all if I didn't properly prepare for it

[ebon aspen]

I would put 2 Quinx on each corner of the map and good luck to your Invokers

[safe valve]

tier of the illuvial definetly has lower impact then before at least it feels like.
More important that you counter opponent with your synergies... basically more a synergy battle than an individual illuvial battle.
You can make a t1 pump out 50k damage in a fight and you can also make a t1 tank the shit out of enemy dd's

not just an invoker problematic

[ebon aspen]

so in theory we are back to stone age with this then....

hoping new players will find this easier to understand

and I was about spend some money on Invokers 🫣

[outer surge]

More for me 🙂

[safe valve]

it is a support tank

they took dmg /spd steal from the omega away

he now just heals and has the behemoth ability

[ebon aspen]

intresting how my ping during the day is 130+ but in the evening around 60 🤔

what can be causing this ?

when playing arena

[safe valve]

Some battleboards take down ping massively maybe you just See them in evening 😂

[ebon aspen]

🤣

im already on patato mode

[safe valve]

yea sounds like.. when i face those battleboards my ping falls down to 10

[ebon aspen]

u mean fps?

[safe valve]

oh

... yea 😄

[mighty tulip]

How's everyone feeling about this?

[ebon aspen]

so as a web 2 there would no chain activity right?

[bronze spire]

whos this from?

[shut yacht]

OMG FIX ABYSMAL BASIN LAG FOR THE LOVE OF GOd!

[ebon aspen]

The boss himself on X

[wild kiln]

who does the message belong to?

[ebon aspen]

Kieran

[bronze spire]

do we interpret that as officially doing what he says there?

[ebon aspen]

we all know how plans go here and promises 😌

[bronze spire]

haha i guess going web 2 launch on steam easier to follow through than web3 promises

[ebon aspen]

but still don't understand the web2 would be a totally new game with IP or would it be same game just no Crypto activity

[tawny dove]

RIP ownership….

[ebon aspen]

RIP arena illuvials

no point of leveling them up then ?

[wild kiln]

I don't know if Kieran is available, but it would be good if someone said something about this.

I didn't see anything about ownership anywhere in that long text

[outer surge]

Some clarification would be nice because otherwise yeah it sounds like all of our Illuvials are a waste

[tawny dove]

Lets see. The Illuvials are the absolute core of the IP, and they will need to play a massive role in the ecosystem. Cant be in arena though, if that becomes web2.

[safe valve]

idk... reading the whole tweet looks more like illuvitars going to be the core assets (Some would argue they always have been 😄 ).... maybe kieran will post some additional info about that topic in discord the next days.

Happy for all the beyonders, but... Rip me

But i guess we know now why we had to simplify for onboarding

[tawny dove]

No Way. The Illuvials is the heart of the IP, pfp’s will never be that, though they might become more important, which is only a good thing. Pulling the plug on meaningfull Illuvial ownerships = dead project imo.

[outer surge]

Brought it up on X as a question. Hopefully there is some clarification

[mighty tulip]

https://x.com/i/status/2025344978629918757

Kieran.eth (@KieranWarwick)

Huge ecosystem update.

To be clear, this is not another gaming shutdown notice, so you can breathe a sigh of relief.

The last 6 months have been tough, to say the least. Sentiment in crypto is now at an all-time low. And crypto gaming is even lower. But, despite that, Illuvium

X · Feb 21, 2026, 11:00 PM

[jolly whale]

Don't think they could just move arena to web2 without council approval! Sounds like an idea he is just speculating about. Perhaps @umbral oracle could clarift things before the whole community goes nutz with speculation

[safe valve]

What i allways thought aswell.
But it really feels not Like pulling the plug, since it hasn't really started anyways yet

[wild kiln]

really where is kieran?? or aaron (we haven't seen Aaron for about 4 months now)
It's strange that even after such a statement, no one comes and says a word or two

[west musk]

land still beats illuvials so far on zkevm

[pulsar badger]

He is preparing for the tournaments that were promised to be held in January and February 2027. 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣

[tawny dove]

Depends on the eyes looking. Sure USD wise. But 6 items traded vs 600+ would be another way to look at it. Very small samle size anyways. And you know that Illuvials are much more important for the IP and brand overall compared to land.

[outer surge]

Noticed that too. The "first tournament is the Partner tournament" wasn't that announced for April

[mighty tulip]

Sounds like he's already got the nod from the council on this

What I don't get is we've just a 5 days of town halls with not a single mention of this idea. Instead it's just put out there on X. All this will do is generate fud 🤦‍♂️

[noble hinge]

It has already been discussed with the council who have agreed to it.

Now that this is public knowledge I hope Kieran and/or our council will explain what this will mean for our Illuvials.

[west musk]

many ways to look at it... still very very early. Interesting to see how it will evolve.

[noble hinge]

Maybe if the game is on Steam with casual mode it will get more eyes and players for Leviathan which can be the tournament mode where Illuvials count?

[zenith mortar]

It’s a diff game

Guys

[mighty tulip]

And who is this game designer? What's his experience and successes? What's his vision for a web2 version of the game?

[zenith mortar]

Ben is building it

He’s just using the IP

It’s not Illuvium building it

I don’t know if I was supposed to say lol

But he already put it on x I guess

[outer surge]

To clarify Illuvium Arena might be done with major development but is still being updated and is Illuvium's focus for events?

[mighty tulip]

Forgive me Rich but Kierans post reads as a new web2 version is getting full 3rd party support and development. While the web3 version is put on ice. It doesn't read well at all 😬

[outer surge]

That's how I read it as well.

[zenith mortar]

Hmm maybe I misread his post then I’ll have to re read, but from what I know Ben is the developer building his own version of survival arena for web2 basically

[outer surge]

Hence the panic all around because I see it wasnt just me lol

SURVIVAL

This would make so much more sense actually

Okay I'm at peace now

[zenith mortar]

That’s probably a mischaracterization of what Ben is actually doing but that’s the jist of what I got

And what I know

[outer surge]

Well I thank you for clarifying

[safe valve]

It's clearly stated that Arena is on dev stop.
And i would say a dev Stop is pretty much a death sentence. (Especially in the state we are currently with Arena 😅)
Nil already on Risk to earn game it seems.

1-2 tournaments a year wont keep Players engaged

[tawny dove]

Now go to bed Sylen, its way past your bedtime 😅

[zenith mortar]

@proven ember he might be able to better answer

As far as his game

[ashen mango]

So absolutely 0 balancing and 0 bug fixing will be made on the arena?

[zenith mortar]

This would be news to me

[umbral oracle]

It is a completely different game. Hence different company licensing the IP. It’s not PvP

[umbral oracle]

Balancing will be done. This is a game design function.

[mighty tulip]

If the version we have rn is the autobattler in it's final form then damn man I guess I'm waiting for the MMO then 😅

[tawny dove]

Could you elaborate a bit? As much as we love the insights of your X post, it certainly also raises some questions 🙂

[jolly whale]

Survial on steam could be an amazing onboarding tool! Great idea!

[umbral oracle]

The game designer who helped build the original Auto Battler is licensing the IP to launch a new game on Steam similar to Survival Mode. It’s not PvP and has nothing to do with our ecosystem. Meaning nothing at all changes with your illuvials. Except that if the survival mode is successful and people see the similarities with our Arena game we may get new players coming across who do want a PvP experience.

I really didn’t foresee any fud around that topic but now I see how I should have made it clear

[umbral oracle]

That’s kind of the point. We have spent three years building it and player numbers are under 1k per month. It makes zero sense to keep plowing resources into it.

[wild kiln]

yes

[sturdy robin]

When the MMO is ready, will we still be able to hunt for set1 illuvials or will there only be set2 illuvials? I think there are already quite a few illuvials from set1. I don't see the point. And please do something about illuvidex. Arena trading is great but beyond trading is useless

[umbral oracle]

Illuvials play a big part in the MMO, and the higher the level and TPI the faster you’ll be able to smash through dungeons and pick up epic loot.

Sure we could keep developing arena but the reality is it needs fresh content and we aren’t going to get on that right now.

Ascendant and rewards will ensure it keeps going, and I’m sure the next big tournament will spark some more action

[mighty tulip]

Just to confirm, there's no arena mobile coming then?

[safe valve]

If you really think we don't get New Players for Arena, why we had to dumb it down so much for onboarding?

[mighty tulip]

Pre patch version with a few fixes would have been significantly better than what we have rn imo

[west musk]

4/8

[jolly whale]

Are you still looking to bring new Illuvials to the existing set? Wave 1.5? or are we gonna wait for wave 2 now?

[ebon aspen]

[ebon aspen]

@outer surge 405 Omega power Duealeph 2 Invoker can't kill S2 Quinx with 0 augments , don't even say about 5 Psion which i had.... it should be deleting any low tear S2 with one shot.... freaking t5s3

[jolly whale]

Yeah I think omega power Illuvials are underpreforming atm.... damage seems way to low

[ebon aspen]

so now what I have to have 600 Omega just to delete S2 T3 unit 🤣

[jolly whale]

My maxed out terror bird omega does nothing

[scarlet spindle]

Thought I had you that last game, Ramphyre got up to like 500 omega, hit for 2400.. your Ryplance didnt even feel it lol

On this one you had 2 stage 3 by 2nd round crazy

[prisma yarrow]

i was one illuvial from making dust but on the one I lost

[mellow bolt]

You getting off?

[prisma yarrow]

maybe I should stick to T1

its late for

going to bed

[mellow bolt]

GGs man that was fun

[twilit storm]

Ascendant w/o augments seems a bit too much RNG shop madness, or maybe it s just me with shitty illuvials, maybe

[viral marsh]

ascendant have nothing. gauntlet at lest have different regions

[twilit storm]

yeah but that s another topic

[viral marsh]

@ebon aspen even bots learn new meta. and you still try your invoker?

[sturdy robin]

Wow

Seems crazy

The invoker is unfortunately very weak. I tried a few times yesterday.

When I started playing arena, it was my favorite.

But now...useless

[jolly whale]

I think there is something wrong with the basin map..... I always get 14fps on there..... normally I get 60ish

[sturdy robin]

I think it would be perfect if Rai and Tiru were stage 3 and the ninth illuvial was Octius

[frank moon]

I really hope we finally test the waters for leviathan. It has been far over a year

[viral marsh]

that also happend sometimes. Slashin 2k dmg...

who nerf him so hard? yesterday he was stronger

[ashen mango]

[sturdy robin]

cool. Enjoy your meal bro 🤤

[proven ember]

Hey folks, long time!

Basically we're licensing the Illuvium tech and the art assets and building a new game. Won't touch anything at all to do with Web3 or the existing ecosystem. New company, new brand utilizing the arena tech basically. Completely offline, for a Steam audience.

Illuvium ecosystem will get revenue from it, should also generate some more interest for Arena. But not related other than that 🙂

[jolly whale]

Drum Roll ....... Whats the time frame for a project like that. I wouldnt ask, but since your reusing existing assets.. Maybe its not a long way off???

[proven ember]

Not long at all, since we're effectively leveraging years of earlier work. I'm expecting to be asking for first playtesters within a couple of months.

Most of the work is design side - which I've been doing for the last few months before we started officially.

Not to mention I spent years working on Illuvium and am well familiar with it and the systems therein.

Think Slay the Spire meets Gauntlet 🙂

[jolly whale]

Awsome.... I'd love to follow the progress as you build this. Will updates be shared here or are you setting up seperate website/socials. Happy to help with play testing too if you need it

[proven ember]

Separate, I'm sure Kieran will keep you all in the loop though. And I'll definitely be recruiting playtesters from here 🙂

[ashen mango]

Slay the spire meets gauntlet 🤔

[jolly whale]

Good luck! Hope you kill it!!

[proven ember]

Thanks bud!

[sturdy robin]

@ashen mango Are you ready?

[ashen mango]

Will our illuvials have ability cards like in slay the spire? @proven ember 👀

[ashen mango]

In about 30 min

[sturdy robin]

ok

[jolly whale]

Im gonna have to check out slay the spire now]

[sturdy robin]

I just had lunch too. I'll make some coffee until then. We don't have a big time difference

[mighty tulip]

Hmm...maybe, the degree to which your game is a success will absolutely influence labs going forward.

I'm not saying that's good or bad I'm just highlighting that there's more going on here than simply sharing a few assets.

[edgy bough]

Im keen to play test as well! GL!

[ashen mango]

I'm coming

Gl bro ✨

[viral marsh]

from 0 to 10, how strong your Rhamphyre what you feel? @safe valve

[safe valve]

i give it a 2 because he adds +1 fire affinity

[viral marsh]

but this fire do nothing to earth

[safe valve]

but also think it's kinda bugged as soon as there are shields... sometimes he breaks shields and sometimes he does literally 0 dmg

[viral marsh]

1 synergy give a bit dmg, and other made your team immortal.
perfect balance xD

[safe valve]

think it really is just buggy...
the other game i played rhamphyre against spore empatch verdant he did 50k dmg... had a bit of psion support tho

but yea... balance of synergies can't be off more 😄

[sturdy robin]

@ashen mango

these bots....🤬

how u manage to win with 0 loses 😮

good collection/play around good strategy - it's how you can win game with 0 loses

[safe valve]

hmm worked for me so far, weird.

I think tho it's just visual bug by showing the wrong illuvial on the endscreen... when you hover over your phyriox it should show the correct one you choose to play with

[vale zephyr]

yes right 👍

[proven ember]

It's more - Illuvials will be the equivalent of cards you add to your deck. Evolve and progress the strength. (OFC they won't be called Illuvials)

[drifting kindle]

I died basically instantly

[jolly whale]

Attipo beats synalph

https://tenor.com/view/big-lebowski-stirring-staring-wtf-wut-gif-25440654

[jolly whale]

I'm not even joking!

Waiting till you see the new meta take hold.

Spam grilla copies with 5 empath and as many buff on ally feints as possible

I got crushed by an attipo

[ebon aspen]

we were so close to a decent balance before this patch now they have to start from scratch balancing this thing out again 🫣

[ebon aspen]

since there is no augments to help with damage against these shields GG

[ebon aspen]

so what this deck does gives attipo damage or infine shield ?

[jolly whale]

I been playing toxic builds all weekend and was murdering everyone thinking I was very clever

Probably won 18/20 games just strangling everyone with toxic attack damage and healing debuff

Then fox showed my what true understanding is

5 empaths get an infinite shield with grilla copies everywhere

[ebon aspen]

fox showed me something else 😂

[sturdy robin]

knock knock

full lobby?

[jolly whale]

But its not the only buff, have a look at how many new buff on ally feint stats there are. It's broken with grilla

Infinite attack damage scaling too, attack speed as well

[ebon aspen]

I seen Fox Revenant Emp build where his Slashin 1 hit 1.5k-2.k damage 😲

literry was killing anything with 1 hit

[jolly whale]

Ya so revenant gives attack damage on ally feint, so scales off the grilla shadow dieing

[ebon aspen]

Then only way to kill these shields is with 2 % health damage augment and crazy Scoriox?

[ebon aspen]

taking a break

[jolly whale]

Nope, cause every time you kill a copy they get the shield back and more attack damage

[ebon aspen]

I see, thanks for the heads up

Its interesting cause I have noticed my teantee does pretty good damage, but the pistol shrimp line does nothing

[ebon aspen]

same, mine s3 at the end of the round close to 500 Omega

[ebon aspen]

@west musk that was intresting 🤔

Bear did well
I like behemoth but it’s a bit contested

[ebon aspen]

[west musk]

Yah that one round was close

Welp gonna try again

[ebon aspen]

i was expreminting with 2 shock 2 Inferno

the first 10 seconds ofr enemy is brutal

[ebon aspen]

So that is what everyone is talking about, thanks 👀

[viral marsh]

if everyone already know secret, i can use full power of it now

[viral marsh]

unlucky, you can't track how much behemoth synergy healed throw fight.
but most of % synergy/augs work with basic dmg/hp.

[jolly whale]

ok 4 players in one game using rev/empath its def out there!

crazy combo

Definetly need to work on the balance if we are gonna stick with this new patch!

[ashen mango]

Are shields included in "healing efficiency"? @worn tree

It would be nice to see the healing from nature synergies in the healing report btw

It looks like pure critical damage from Lynx S1 are appearing in red instead of white

[sturdy robin]

@wintry geode hey man. I sent you a friend request 🙂

[proven ember]

Historically they were not, there was another value for shield efficiency.

(might have changed now)

[ashen mango]

Since Nil has simplified the vocabulary with "assist" including kills, "Allies" including yourself (it was already the case before though) etc I think that it could include shield now

[ebon aspen]

Only 18k health weak illuvial 🤣

[viral marsh]

but i check how much he heal with behemoth, and seems not 1k.
it's mean behemoth healing based on start hp.

[ebon aspen]

4 Inferno would be interesting

Who ever collects 3 inferno and 3 shock in a game please record it

4 and 4 would even be better

[safe valve]

inferno feels for me personally the weakest of all composite
Considering how hard to build it's probably by far the weakest composite

[worn tree]

Nope, health efficiency is only function of healing over time and instant healing.

[worn tree]

I will aim to bring a hotfix balance patch this very same week. Even though less than 5 days have passed since the patch and the gameplay data size is rather small due to short timeframe, there's definitely some adjustments to do.

[jolly whale]

I would look at the buff on feint mechanic! I think it is scaling infinitely with grilla shadows.

[worn tree]

Yes, we will have to make something about it, most likely make grilla omega occur much less frequently

[viral marsh]

xD

this better

[safe valve]

Your feedback/suggestions would be very much appreciated 🙂

[hot pond]

Funny that it always has to be revenant where it becomes too overpowered 😆

[viral marsh]

it's can work not only with revenant. templar/spore probably will be better

[safe valve]

What about if you make statues not count as illuvial at all?
I feel if you nerf Grilla himself you might Make him not viable to play at all in other Teams. (Don't feel he is too strong himself, but haven't played it much honestly)

[worn tree]

That would require a simulation work that we cannot afford to do now. So the path is to make grilla omega happen less often but make it more powerful. It won't be a nerf, it will be an adjustment so that statues spawn is less abusive.

[jolly whale]

Haha, I was actually just thinking of adding a second grilla!

[viral marsh]

nerfing grilla not help. you put 4 ti-ru instead and after 5 second of fight get +200% dmg/as

[safe valve]

I think it's likely revenants get a nerf top 🙂

[viral marsh]

replace it with templar.
but probably max AS is 300.

[safe valve]

When he says there is a Balance patch coming, do you actually think just Grilla/revenants gets reworked? 😅
I would expect many things get a tweak

[viral marsh]

what i whant be changed:

1. ranger get better scale with collection that is now. still just unit for synergy, compare to what was in non-levi
2. half of synergy which work without % rework to %
3. bot's scale better with our collection
4. x6 booster and not only x2 in shop. they nerf exp, but give x2 booster, so we get same exp as before patch, but have to pay now - this not give motivation to play
5. remove all summons counts for fate

what will be:
Grilla's starting energy reduce 60>40. energy need for cast 150>200. just random numbers but still

[worn tree]

This is useful, just a heads up:

1. wip
2. will take a look, some are hard to break down into %.
3. wip
4. n/c
5. cant do that, will tackle on faint mechanics and grilla

[viral marsh]

you have more other things broken now.
synergy's/ranger weapon traits which stack unlimited buff/debuffs - so as longer fight as stronger you become/weaker you opponent.
and other synergy's which give debuff for 5 second, or used every 8 second.

[viral marsh]

so, magma which doing 50 dmg is good synergy, when units have 7k hp? xD
or verdant/enchanter - with 40hp healing, while overall your team hp is around 5k?
lvl 29 bots? how they beat me? - give them x4 gold gain buff they still lose

just put 5 bulwark. and take 7-10mins break. then come back roll 200 gold - win game

[safe valve]

I think bots are in a good place.
Remember Games with at least to me new Players (with owning illuvials) getting stomped by bots and finished 8th place until they get a little bit into the game and actually started Building synergies that work together

[viral marsh]

then try casual game. and say again bot's in good place at ranked

[safe valve]

If bots are designed to give you a hard time, 90% of the playerbase get rekt in the majority of their games

[viral marsh]

bot's should be scale with your collection - right?
but now it's x0.5 scale or even less. made it x1

so you have to think how play - not afk send random units on bord.

if you remember survival - it was challenge. and it was interesting play it.
you have to think about aug's/positions/synergy's/eco.

what you have to think about current AI in game? - what happened at your 2nd window with netflix video.

[safe valve]

but survival was designed to give you a hard time, i don't think gauntled bost are. (maybe i'm wrong, but i think they shouldn't 😄 )
Don't tell me you are not watching netflix while playing vs real players, because i do 😄

[viral marsh]

depent of patch. some games you have to think/count units/made decision, not only collect 70 gold and click roll.

[rose haven]

Illuvium arena weekly board still working?

[safe valve]

No, they are not.

Rewards should come back soon in some shape and form. But it's unknown how they look like or in what timeframe they are claimable.

[arctic turtle]

I think that for gorilla it statues should just immediately get deleted by the stage pulse at the end

was not ready for more broken unit, that mine.

[prisma yarrow]

would it be hard to make the life bar disappear and instead make the illuvial going from top to bottom been full color = full life and they loose their color to become more and more gray until dead. that would make the view so much more enjoyable

[ashen mango]

What about the energy bar?

https://giphy.com/gifs/mood-YqE3jbSQQR6x9g19Kj

[prisma yarrow]

i am sure you have a solution for that too

[prisma yarrow]

make a white energy bar that surround the illuvial from top to bottom or in a circle around him, i mean a line that match the extremity of the illuvial. and no more of these bar in our face... that would be one step forward to make the game on mobile

[safe valve]

choose a battleboard skin please, ser.
So you just have to play on the low fps maps against bots or other palyer with default battleboard.

according to Kieran tweet, .... while adding in some spice of gambling to completely max out your ranger, illuvials, and items..... does that mean that we will be able to reroll stats any one knows

[ebon aspen]

I think they have to do anything possible to make a dollar at this point even if it means screwing old time grinders

I think i saw an axodon tanking 100k damage lol

i lost by time

he is immortal

4 vs 1 i could had kil him with few more seconde

[arctic turtle]

you almost got him in the end

[prisma yarrow]

kind of sad that I can t see what my team did

[arctic turtle]

I have it recorded on stream ill post a clip in a little bit

[prisma yarrow]

interesting

[arctic turtle]

i missed that but i have a few damage numbers i was just so distracted

[wild kiln]

holy...

[ebon aspen]

gg

[wild kiln]

I tip my hat to you @ebon aspen

[arctic turtle]

i didn't catch the amount of damage taken as Axodon but here it was as an Axon. it was probaly close to 50k as Axodon if i had to guess

[ebon aspen]

not sure why Rhamphite with no resistance doesnt die from invoke one cast ? should melt it

it had like 55 energy resist 🤣

[wild kiln]

It should have disappeared....

[ebon aspen]

I saw the beam go right thru it but would not regester it

gg finally had 4 Tsunami

for the first time

I had like 3 lvl 60 illuvials in there

actually 4 lvl 60s 🤔

[worn tree]

How does tsunami feel? In terms of strength?

[shut yacht]

Error code 403? Logged in but not letting me play game. Invalid key=value pair? Anyone else having this issue?

[dark scaffold]

checking with devs

[sturdy robin]

Is there an air rogue weapon in the game or just nature, earth and water?

😄

[safe valve]

No Air rogue weapon

[ebon aspen]

the fun factor was great especially when you can place Tsunami chip on other units, Synalph was casting every 1.3 seconds and then you pair with Immunis Void reactor and you're set. But damage output is just not there when it comes to Invoker line especially when your main damage comes from Synalph. Basically got destroyed by 3 inferno with Rhamphite doing 18k damage with 1 omega (Doesnt water beat fire? 🤣 )

[west musk]

Bring back the tidal wave 🌊

[unkempt pendant]

Yes, it's the same for me.

[shut yacht]

Rhampyre is a beast now.

[ebon aspen]

Full hyper water team with 4 Tsunamy gets rekt by basically 1 unit T5S2 3 inferno 👀

I swear need to start recording these matches

[arctic turtle]

Water only beats fire if it is paired with nature to get the healing boost. I think fire damage output just too high

[sturdy robin]

@umbral oracle I wrote to you on X. If you have time, please read it. 🙏

[arctic turtle]

I've been streaming them and have the vods saved

[ebon aspen]

I had 2 Mystic with Geyyser lvl56 for healing. But wouldn't nature give hyper to all this Fire team?

[arctic turtle]

I've been running full nature with as many bulwark and water as I can get and toxic composite. It works well but has a hard time early game

[arctic turtle]

Ya it does

[ebon aspen]

Water plus earth then, but earth doest give energy resestant against Rhampthite

[arctic turtle]

Fire is hard to counter reliability right now

[ebon aspen]

Can't add air for energy resest cause then again Fire goes hyper

So then need to peace drone augments to be all energy resistant ones

[arctic turtle]

The 2 strongest both use energy attacks Rhampyer and scoriox

[ebon aspen]

Only solutions new augments needed

[arctic turtle]

Ya we need more

[viral marsh]

both do 0 dmg to earth

[scarlet spindle]

Is april fools over yet?

[safe valve]

positioning can be a good counter vs rhamphite 🙃

[humble plover]

i have the same problem CODE 403, did you find the solution

[twilit storm]

Peter | IlluviumCore Contributors — 3:50 pmTuesday, 24 February 2026 3:50 pm
devs are investigating this one

[ebon aspen]

I think its the first 10 seconds you get 3 inferno burn then 2 Rhampghite omegas ranger omega with 12 max health damage its a like a nuke

🤣

My dream to see 4 inferno and 4 shock 😲

Arena down?

how much Omega did you Rahamphite end up having... did I see it at 2000+ in one of the rounds 🤣

[wild kiln]

I caught this

[lime cloak]

hehe, crazy... I wasnt fast enough for screenshot, but I saw it at more than 2k when it destroyed my whole team in one cast, haha

but nice battle 🙂

[lime cloak]

I wonder if It gets the buff from all the targets it hits with this Augment. 🤔
"Amplifying Omega Reactor Energy (Apex + Apex), Upon Attacking a Shield: Gain OP."

That's a pretty nice counter to those Empaths, haha

[wild kiln]

Yeah, I think that's how it should be, because when I use it on Monarch, the OM charges much faster. It's way slower on Rhamphyre
