Of Monsters and Cloaks Update
Version 9.0.0 Release Notes

New Content

New Worker - The Summoner

Yolanda the Summoner has settled in town! 

This new premium worker is available for purchase to players starting at level 21. Her exclusive blueprint lines are not to be missed!

Her special worker power is Small Talk+, increasing your chances of a successful small talk by +5%.

New Blueprint Line - Cloaks

Introducing a new accessory blueprint line... the Cloaks! These items increase hero Defense, and are sure to give a dapper look to anyone wearing them.

New Blueprint Line - Familiars

Introducing a new accessory blueprint line, and our most unique blueprints yet.. the Familiars!

Familiars are baby versions of the dungeon bosses you are familiar with. While they initially appear in the form of an egg, they hatch when sold and follow their new owners outside, no doubt to a loving home!

As equipment, Familiars are exclusive to, and are the only equipment available to Champions. They provide major stat bonuses, and will follow them into quests!

(To prevent any… grim accidents, Familiars do not have a break chance.)

Blueprint Elemental Affinities

Doesn’t a water enchantment on the Aurora Springwater feel just right? How about a dark Tsukuyomi? A Sacred Celestial Choir? These pairings seem to be a match made in heaven (pun intended), yet are no more valid than any other elemental pairing.

With this new update, Elemental Affinities have been added to many blueprints, both new and old. Blueprints that have strong thematic ties to a specific element (either through their design, name, or overall flavor) receive a special affinity to it. Enchanting an element matching that affinity will grant various bonuses.

Elements that don’t match the blueprint’s affinity can still be enchanted like before. They simply won’t receive the special benefits.

Blueprint Spirit Affinities

Some blueprints instead have strong thematic ties to the many animals featured among our Spirits, and receive a Spirit Affinity instead. It works the same as the Elemental Affinity explained above, but replaces the element score bonus with a slightly stronger Spirit skill effect.

Worker Statues

12 new worker statues have been added to the Grab Bag’s exclusive collection! Come grab your favorite!

Hero Skills

The 3rd level of gold-tier Hero skills is now available. Thanks to Elemental Affinities, the theoretical maximum elemental score of Heroes is now higher, and these requirements can be met.

Major Changes

Elemental Blueprints

All Elemental Blueprints (blueprints found in chests with a built-in element) also benefit from the Elemental Affinity system described above. Since they are already enchanted with an element matching their Affinity, this translates into free buffs to their value, stats and Element bonus.

** A bug introduced as part of this update made Elemental Blueprints receive massive, unintended bonuses from their affinities. Feel free to make big bucks off of them while we work on fixing it!

Hemma

Hemma’s leader skill has been modified to be easier to use. Her draining effect now increases her own Attack by a stacking amount (12% at rank 11) regardless of the amount of HP drained from allies. This will afford her greater flexibility in party composition, while also putting greater emphasis on her own stats rather than her allies max HP.

In addition, she also heals a little of her own HP from each drain. The percentage of HP drained from allies also reduces significantly as her rank increases.

Minor Changes

  • Improved the flow around items requiring resources you do not yet have.

  • Seasonal packs will now showcase different content for players below level 55. The T11 blueprint will be replaced by a Chest/Key combo alongside a bundle of components.

  • As part of the above, players can now receive a Flashback (or superior) offer after buying a single piece of a Mega Pack, instead of both.

  • Added a new eye color to match the Toph customization set.

  • Increased the value of gold rewards on the Collection reward tracker. If you’ve claimed these rewards in the past, you will be able to claim them again.

  • Furniture Upgrade offers no longer target furniture in your storage (Basement is still ok).

  • Content Pass tasks with big number requirements are now abbreviated (e.g 100k instead of 100,000).

  • The progression tab of pets with no skins options (e.g Momo) is now disabled.
