Hello Vikings!
This update is about clearing the path between you and the fight. A redesigned Mail System now brings your rewards to you, signing in takes one step instead of several, and the last setup stage between you and a battle is gone. Your Veras are simpler too: each one now has its full set of abilities, and Vera Condition has been removed.
Take a look! ⚔️
Your Rewards Come to You
The Mail System has a fresh new look, and it can now deliver rewards directly to you.
Currencies, items, Veras, and more now arrive in your mail and wait for you in one place. No more hunting through different screens to collect what you've earned.
Your Daily Quest rewards are the first to be delivered this way.
One Account, One Sign-In
Getting into Valhalla now takes a single account and a single sign-in.
The old hurdles are gone: the Heimdall system, the separate Play account and Main account, mandatory account linking, and private key backups. In their place is one account that covers everything and stays with you no matter what: clear your browser, switch devices, even change platforms, and your account is right there waiting. You create it and sign in with whichever option suits you best, for example: Google, WeChat, email, or your phone number.
- New players skip the old setup steps and jump straight into the game after one sign-in.
- Your sign-in stays active for 30 days, so if you return within that time, you won't need to sign in again.
- If you already have an account from before this update, you go through a quick one-time migration to move it over.
- Wallet management now lives on the website, so the in-game Export screen has been removed and the Account view has been cleaned up to match.
Straight Into the Fight
One less step before battle, and a board that is easier to read once you are there.
Goodbye, Battle Arsenal
The Battle Arsenal is gone, a change many of you have been asking for. You now decide where each of your Veras starts the fight in the Combat HUB, then head straight into battle.
Clearer Tile Selection
Clearer tile selection was one of the improvements many of you asked for most, so we've reworked how you choose where your Veras move and where your abilities land. The battle board now shows more clearly which tiles are in range, what an ability will hit, what you have locked in, and when the final selection has been made.
Each Vera's selected ability now appears in its HUD instead of above the Vera, giving you a better overview of what each Vera will be doing in the turn and reducing clutter on the battle board. The skip button has also moved to the action panel so you can clearly mark a Vera as done for the turn, and you'll no longer end a turn before you're ready.
Your Veras, Unleashed
Three systems that used to hold your Veras back are gone.
All Abilities Unlocked
With the Arsenal gone, there is no longer a step to choose which abilities a Vera can use. Every Vera now has access to its complete set of abilities, whether it was minted before this update or newly minted. Your Veras are battle-ready the moment they join you, with nothing left to unlock.
Vera Condition Eliminated
The Vera Condition system has been removed. Losing a Ranked or Tournament match no longer affects a Vera's Condition, and the stat penalty that came with the Vera Condition is gone from every game mode. At its worst, that penalty cut a Vera's stats by 50%.
There is also nothing left to repair. The Condition view has been removed, along with the need to sacrifice low level Veras or spend Vera Essence and Runix to bring a Vera back to full strength.
Streamlined Runes
Each Vera now displays only its main rune. This keeps the game running smoothly as more Vikings arrive with their Veras. Vera portraits have been updated to match the cleaner, more optimized look.
Floki Tier Page
You can now check and assign your tier on the Floki Tier page. The different tier thresholds are made clearly visible.
Updates and Fixes
- Vera Combat Audio Balance - Rebalanced ability sound effect levels across all Veras, removing the noticeable volume differences that made some abilities sound louder or quieter than others in battle.
- Illusiotar Transformation - Fixed an issue where Illusiotar would not transform your character into a Vera.
- Floki Eye Texture - Fixed the Floki Vera's eye texture, which appeared at a low resolution in-game.
- Shadow Siphon Teleport - Fixed an issue where using Shadow Siphon to teleport to a Shadow Split portal skipped the teleport animation.
- Catch of the Day Animation - Fixed an issue where a knocked-back Bjorn would incorrectly slide back toward its attacker when casting Catch of the Day.
- Mycelium Stance Healing VFX - Fixed the Mycelium Stance healing effect, which was showing its VFX on all adjacent tiles when Hushroom used it.
- Chinese Translation - Fixed several inconsistencies in the Chinese translation.
- Chest Drop Rates - Chest drop rates have been increased from 50% to 100%.
- Less Migration Transactions - Removed transactions for tokens that wallets don't own.
- F is Back - Fixed a bug where you couldn't type "F" due to the game client catching it to go to full screen.
- Ability Name Typos - Fixed a few ability name issues on the website.
- Stash Freeze - Fixed the stash from freezing for players that have a lot of amulets.
- Unknown Item Freeze - Fixed a freeze from happening on unknown items.
That's all for today! While we've done our best to catch all the bugs, it's possible that a few might have slipped through. We have faith in our Vikings to help us identify and report any issues they come across. Don't hesitate to communicate with us about any problems or bugs you encounter through our community's Discord: https://discord.gg/NJXccsQSfg
Until next time!
