Hello dear community,
I’d like to share some thoughts about the recent update. Overall, I really enjoyed it — great work to the team! However, there’s one thing that I found frustrating:

It has become very difficult to distinguish Tier 0 and Tier 2 Illuvials when Holo / Dark Holo effects are applied.

Sure, many veteran players can easily tell the difference between a Dark Holo Earth Atippo and a Dark Holo Fire Atippo — but is this really comfortable for newcomers?

I completely understand that Illuvials drenched in gasoline-like effects are exciting for collectors. But from a gameplay perspective, it creates visual noise and confusion.

✅ Some players love the music in Illuvium — others turn it off to focus.
✅ Some enjoy drone movements and chat — others mute them for better concentration.
✅ Some appreciate the screen shake effects — others disable them in the settings.
❌ Some love looking at shiny, oil-covered Illuvials — but no one has the option to turn these effects off.

To illustrate my point, I’d like to share a screenshot. Ask yourself honestly — does this look newcomer-friendly?

This is not a major problem for Tier 1, 3, 4, or 5 Illuvials since they have different models. But for Tier 0 and Tier 2, which often share the same base model, we rely heavily on color to distinguish them. Now that color is covered in holo effects.

Please consider adding an option in the settings to toggle these effects off during gameplay. It would go a long way toward improving clarity and accessibility — especially for new players.

Thanks for reading!

# autumn summit Hello dear community, I’d like to share some thoughts about the recent update. O...

I have to agree... I dont think the Holo/DH work well in normal Gauntlet. If you have a decent collection of Holo/DH your bench get filled with them, making it harder to see the units, and I dont really think it adds anything spectacular to the game. It can look cool if you a few nice DH you can show off in the game, but not when you get a full bench of "shiny oli-covered Illuvials".

Compared with Leviathan... there you will see your highest lvl on the bench, sometimes it might be a holo/DH but not all the time like here...

Not sure if it would work better or is possible to implement, but could consider showing them as normal on the Bench, and with the different finish on the board 🤔

Could also work if there was an option where you could turn it on/off

Bench looks like this....

Would really like an option where you can turn it on/off, just for the Illuvials on the bench. Hope something like that it's on the "roadmap" 🙂

Maybe the illuvials should only appear holo and dark holo when on the battle board

#

Maybe when they are on your bench they only appear holo when you hover over them with your cursor
