Dear brave warriors,

Greetings! Since the major update in April, we've received a wealth of suggestions and feedback from you all. Your insights have been invaluable in enhancing the game experience, and we'd like to express our sincere gratitude to every player who has offered criticism and advice.

Many players have expressed a desire to continue playing after achieving ten consecutive victories, and some have also suggested the ability to battle friends. In response, we've introduced a new feature called the "Hall of Honor." Alongside this new addition, we've also included 12 brand - new items in this version, aiming to provide you with more diverse build options. Additionally, we've made adjustments to certain game mechanics, item effects, and the leaderboard function. Here are the detailed update notes:

- Each character saved in the Hall of Honor has a corresponding "Character Code".
- Players can enter each other's "Character Codes" in the Hall of Honor to initiate a battle (Internet connection is required to retrieve character data).
