Game Update - April 3rd, 2018 + Piece of Mind Eddie

Nightmares… spirits calling me. / Nightmares… they won’t leave me be.

New Character: Piece of Mind!

Piece of Mind Eddie may have lost touch with reality, but he creates and imposes his own with his debut in Legacy of the Beast. He has many skills which help keep his team buffed and safe from negative effects, including Cleansing, Reducing Duration of negative effects, and Perfect Immunity, while also providing a newly-improved Trap status effect and an entirely new MAX HP Up effect, which increases the Maximum HP of characters with that positive effect by 100%. Finally, use his Mad World fury to completely change the shape of battle by dealing an additional hit of random damage for every beneficial effect active on all allies and all enemies, while also removing all beneficial and negative effects from both teams!

Piece of Mind Eddie is a 5 star Sentinel available now in all appropriate souls, including a limited time Insanity Soul. Check out more on Piece of Mind Eddie in his Character Discussions forum post.

New Feature: Auto-Replay

To help make the daily grind easier to manage, we’ve added a new Auto-Replay feature.

The Auto-Replay feature, when enabled, will automatically tap you through the End-of-Battle Results screen. This will let you spend Sands of Time to repeatedly clear a level until you run out of Sands of Time or you turn off the feature (with an option available mid-battle and at the end of the End-of-Battle Results screen). All of this occurs without you needing to tap the screen after you’ve started it, allowing you to more easily get Trooper Badges from using troopers, complete Event Challenges that require clearing a quest multiple times, etc.

At launch, only one option will be available, “Trooper Auto”. If enabled, each battle will slot a Trooper’s Champion into a team slot you have left open; if disabled, it will not use your Troopers and will continue to replay battles until another end condition is met. In the future, we will add additional options to this popup to allow you to tailor your Auto-Replay to better meet your needs.

You can access Auto-Replay on Cosmos or Time Rift Pre-Battle screens. It will only be available for quests you’ve already cleared at least once.
