New limited units and equipment

• Dark Mage (Sovereign) - Limited Mythic; Dark Scepter equipment.

Latest codes status

14 codes and their listed rewards worked in the July 25 in-game test but were not re-tested for this August 1 update, so they are not labeled currently active. 6 Update 0.5 strings still need current-client testing; 0 meet the confirmed-expired standard.

• The Codes page is the source of truth for test dates, evidence labels, and eligibility notes.
• Copy capitalization and punctuation exactly; code availability can change after an update.
• EXPEDITIONS requires level 25, while EA+ is exclusive to Early Access+ members.

Units and balance coverage

The Units database now tracks twenty-seven roster entries, with fifteen detailed priority profiles. The four Update 0.5 lines are included with local WebP portraits and reported role guidance. No official numerical balance log was available, so exact DPS changes, obtain rates, ability values, and tier movement are not presented as confirmed facts.

Modes, Expeditions, and Raids

The existing level 20 Expeditions and level 25 Raids routes now sit beside the limited Villain Invasion, Villain Hunt, and Bounty Board loops. Check the live client for act rules, banner pools, bounty limits, drop rates, costs, and reward totals before spending event currency.

How to use this update tracker

Check the verification label first, then the date and source context. Use a confirmed change to adjust a current team decision; use a provisional entry only as a prompt to inspect the client. If a later official notice or in-game capture changes the facts, the older entry should be corrected rather than silently overwritten.
