(8/1) RELEASE UPDATE: 1.3.0 is now LIVE.
(7/30) RELEASE UPDATE: 1.3.0 has been approved by LINE and is review with Apple. If all goes well, we are hoping it will launch on 7/31 or 8/1. Fingers crossed!
(7/30) BEOWULF RELIC UPDATE: The Beowulf Relic will be made available on 8/2 (Wednesday) instead of the usual ~1 month delay. AROOOO!!!
NEW CHARACTER: BEOWULF!
We are excited to announce the first of many new characters to be added to the game since we launched - Beowulf!
Beowulf is a grappler who can be described as a “power-play” character. At various times throughout a fight, he will get large spikes of power that players will need to tactically take advantage of if they want to maximize Beowulf’s potential.
Character Ability - HYPE MODE
While fighting, Beowulf’s Throws (including Special Move Throws) and Juggle Finishers will generate HYPE. Once Beowulf gets 3 levels of HYPE, a button appears (similar to Eliza’s button in Sekhmet mode) that allows Beowulf to activate HYPE MODE for 10 seconds.
In HYPE MODE, Beowulf’s throws are unbreakable, and many of his moves will have different properties. Experiment to find them all!
Additional HYPE Notes:
You will now see 6 new Beowulf variants popping up in Random fights throughout the game:
Underdog
ON THE ROPES - Gains bonuses when suffering from negative Combat Effects
Cold Stones
OUT COLD - Throws can cause STUN & inflict bonus damage vs STUNNED opponents
Number One
RED ALERT - Gains HASTE on opponent TAG IN and chance to gain ENRAGE when hitting enemies while having HASTE
Hype Man
HYPE TRAIN - Hype Mode drains BB meter of opponents, and leaving Hype Mode maxed will generate extra BB meter for teammates in reserve
Weekend Warrior
LAST CALL - Gains IMMUNITY and HASTE when triggering Hype Mode, including LAST STAND (which temporarily prevents death regardless of damage taken)
Wulfsbane
FORCE CHOKE - Throws trigger CRIPPLE and HEAL BLOCK, and do extra damage vs opponents suffering from negative Combat Effects
BEOWULF PRIZE FIGHTS
Beowulf will be available EXCLUSIVELY via Prize Fights starting on the day of the 1.3.0 update (final date TBD)
Beowulf’s Daily Event (Wednesday Night Rawr) has been added to WEDNESDAYS every week
Potential rewards include the following Beowulf Moves:

STORY MODE now has a new tab - ORIGIN STORIES!

- Almost all Blockbusters have received a pass to help ensure that players can more effectively PUNISH them after successfully blocking or avoiding the attack
- NOTE: This is NOT guaranteed for all characters in all scenarios, but it should minimally address the issues where certain BBs should be punishable
