Patch 1.15 was released on March 29, 2019. Here’s the full patch notes.
New Factions[]
Two new hero factions have been added: Celestials & Hypogeans.
The Hypogean don’t have any heroes yet though and the Celestials only have one added in the patch.
Hypogean and Celestial faction advantages will work differently to the other 4 factions.
Celestial heroes can be viewed as a Graveborn, Lightbearer, Wilder, or Mauler hero when increasing factional bonuses.
Hypogean heroes will not activate any other faction’s factional bonuses but will give all allied heroes the following effects based on the amount of Hypogeans current in the formation:
1+ Defense +30%
2+ Energy recovered when injured +25%
3+ Crit Rating +15%
4+ Critical Strike Damage + 30%
5+ Haste +15
New Heroes[]
Athalia – Harbinger of Justice. (Celestials)
Seirus – Savior of the Sea. (Wilders)
Fawkes – Death’s Defeat. (Lightbearers)
Skreg – The Cunning. (Maulers)
New Union[]
New Lightbearer union: The Bounty Hunters.
Hero Ascension Changes[]
Note: You won’t lose any power with these changes! The hero fodder required to reach max level is the exact same as it is now.
To optimize and smooth out hero ascension progression, we have made the following changes:
Legendary+ > Mythic now requires one Legendary+ hero of the same faction, maximum Mythic levels are now capped at 180.
Mythic > Mythic+ requires one Legendary+ hero of the same faction, maximum Mythic+ levels are now capped at 200.
Mythic+ > Ascended requires two duplicate Elite+ heroes, maximum Ascended levels are capped at 240.
New changes to the ascension tier progression does not affect the current battle dynamics of the game.
All heroes possessed by players that were currently Mythic will automatically be upgraded to Mythic+ and all Mythic+ heroes will become Ascended heroes.
Here’s what the new progression will look like compared to now:
Old:
Legendary+ (160)
Mythic (200)
Mythic+ (240)
New:
Legendary+ (160)
Mythic (180)
Mythic+ (200)
Ascended (240)
