New Earth - Update 16.7.0
The Bloomstalker
- The Bloomstalker, a vicious new Foe, has surfaced across New Earth's aquatic regions. Its appearance is no coincidence: Alien Invaders have unleashed it to strike at our food supply.
- This new Foe drops 2 new crafting components: Bloom Spores and Bloom Cores.
New Equipment Slot
- Added Gloves as a new equipment slot for your Hero.
- Added a new craftable item, the Tidebreaker Gloves, which requires the Bloom Spores and Cores collected from the Bloomstalker Invasion event.
New Hero Appearances
- Added 3 new Hero Avatars for players to choose from; this expands the roster to 9.
New Challenge
- Added a new type of Challenge - ‘Damage and Defeat Aquatic Invaders’ which is a cross-region Alliance challenge that rewards more Bloom Spores and Bloom Cores.
New Structure Levels
Four structures have had their maximum level increased from 32 to 35. These are:
- Situation Room
- Satellite Uplink
- Bunker
- Airstrip
New Objectives
- New Objectives have been added for all the new Structure levels.
Alliance Raid Challenge
- Strider Emitter rewards have been significantly increased across all tiers and Alliance Leaderboard placements.
Changed
- Neutronium rewards from Alien Strongholds (Level 11) and Alien Nexuses (Level 12) have been increased from 200k to 400k and 600k. Neutronium now comes in 50k packs, so it is shared among Rally members instead of going only to the Rally leader.
- Alien Megaship and Titanic Strider raids now award more World Event Caches: Level 40 raids give 2 (up from 1), Level 45 give 4 (up from 3), and Level 50 give 7 (up from 5).
