Patch Notes for Update 5
While the release date is still up in the air, the developers have shared the patch notes for Update 5. One of the most exciting features is the introduction of a new realm called Athenyx. This realm will offer fresh maps, challenges, and a new battle pass. Here’s a brief overview of what to expect:
1. New Realm: Athenyx
The new realm, Athenyx, is the domain of the goddess Athenyx. In this realm, players can explore new maps, take on fresh challenges, and earn rewards through a battle pass that lets you summon units from Athenyx’s Trials. Players can bring three units into the realm, and a level 30 requirement must be met to enter. You’ll also need the Athenyx key to exit.
2. New Trials (Banners)
In Athenyx, players can summon units from one of three trials, each featuring 11 unique realm units. These units are only available in this realm and come with different strengths. Summons require one of three currencies: Aqua, Solar, and Flame Tokens. You earn these tokens by completing maps and challenges, so choose your grind path wisely!
3. New Athenyx Challenges
A new area for challenges will also be present, offering game modes that change the gameplay significantly.
4. New Story Maps
There will be six new story maps, each dropping items and tokens based on your grinding path within Athenyx.
5. Infinite Challenge Mode
Each map will feature a new Infinite Challenge mode, similar to the existing Infinite Mode. After every 15 waves, players will select a modifier from three options. These modifiers stack, increasing the challenge as you progress through the waves. New leaderboards will track Infinite Challenge performance, with rewards for top players.
6. New Items in Athenyx
Players can look forward to new items:
- Wave Skip Item: Skip to specific wave numbers, helpful in Infinite Mode.
- Portal Hardening Item: Ensures the portal will drop itself if you miss the secret unit.
- Limit Breaker: Increases a unit’s level cap.
- Athenyx’s Key: Needed to exit the Athenyx realm.
- Athenyx’s Tether: Allows you to bring one unit back to the main world.
7. New Athenyx Battle Pass
The new battle pass will offer both free-to-play (F2P) and premium options, featuring 25 tiers. Once you complete the battle pass, it resets, allowing you to grind for Athenyx’s Key and Tether to help you exit the realm with a unit.
Anime Defenders Update 5 is shaping up to be an exciting addition to the game, with plenty of new content for players to explore. Keep an eye out for the release date and get ready to dive into the new realm of Athenyx.
