Build 26 — Patch Notes

September 24, 2026

Features

The Wilds

• Wilds occupations now last 24 hours by default (up from 8)
• You may now recall heroes early, and they'll return with resources gathered so far
• Heroes can't be recalled within the first hour of an occupation
• The 1-hour protection period is gone. Instead, losing any battle at a node prevents you from challenging it for 1 hour
• Heroes cannot swap or remove equipment while stationed in the wilds - doing so recalls them
• Viewing a hero in the Hero Hall now indicates when a hero is stationed in the Wilds

Blessings Overhaul

• Blessing trees have been completely overhauled so that each hero's tree better matches its identity

Avatars

• Added a notification badge when a new avatar is earned
• Each campaign boss now awards its avatar when you defeat it for the first time
• Updated existing avatars and added dozens more (which will be obtainable post-launch)

UI
