Update 1.32.1: Unique items and events rework

Hello Fighters!

As part of the last update, we talked about updating the mechanics that will affect unique items in the game and reworking the event mechanics. Today these changes come into effect and we want to talk a little more about how it will work.

Unique items rework

As you know, previously Unique items were between Epic and Legendary in terms of power. Now Unique items are fully equivalent in power to Legendary items. It means that players who previously only used Legendary items can now safely turn to Unique items without fear of losing power, even in events.

Upgrading unique items will take place in the inventory, as usual, but now not with shadow energy, but with special tokens. This currency is never convertible, and can only be earned in events related to the corresponding equipment set. Each set of equipment will have its own currency.

There will be marathons available as part of the events, where you will be able to get unique equipment. However, you will no longer be able to get unique equipment from the event booster packs.
Also, all the unique items that do not have a full set of equipment are now legendary.

Now you can get the maximum out of using unique items in the game!

Event mechanics changes

Events are an important part of gameplay. They allow you not only to get new items and level up existing items, but also to delve deeper into the Shadow Fight 3 universe story and get new gameplay experience. So, we decided to focus our attention on the last two points and are glad to present to you the updated version of the Sanguine Forest event (and later on other similar events).

One of the changes is related to the structure of battles in the events. It is now more complex, and the battles have been divided into groups. As you go through the event, you will open up the opportunity to participate in more challenging and interesting battles, which will also introduce you to new opponents, thereby making the event more interesting. In addition, each of the battle groups give you the opportunity to receive separate rewards: in one group you can get event tokens, while in another group you can get tokens to improve unique equipment. It gives you the opportunity to choose what works for you.

As before, you will need gold and tickets to enter fights. However, a group of fights has been added to the events that can only be accessed with special tickets. These fights are a perfect opportunity to get great rewards!

Also, there are changes to the Sanguine Forest event boss, Mother Death. Now she has a feature that makes her a truly unique opponent.
At the beginning of each round, Mother Death creates a seal that gives her special abilities. Each round the seal becomes stronger, revealing more and more abilities.

Don't wait for the boss to enter shadow form: Mother Death doesn't use shadow energy. Instead, she is aided by the mysterious deity of the Sanguine Cult. The scale of the connection with this deity fills automatically; when it is full, the deity will protect its high priestess. This can happen in a variety of ways, so prepare for surprises in each round.

In addition, the history of the event has also been reworked, allowing you to dive even deeper into the history of the Sanguine Cult!

The update also includes a number of general changes:

  • Returned the unbreakability interval during the mines' and katana's shadow abilities in the Stranger's set.
  • Fixed start animation bugs in battle for some styles of weapons.
  • Made visual changes to the customization of some sets.
