Update 51 has arrived, General! Let's dive into its secrets! 1. DRONE & MECH UPGRADES 1.1 New Drones & Mechs Event Welcome to the new Programming Event! This event grants points for socketing connectors and chips, enhancing your units and commanders. 1.2 Two New Motherboard Chips One of the most exciting additions in this update is the introduction of two chip types: Unique and Joker. a) Unique Chips: These unique chips are limited to one per motherboard and provide an impactful permanent bonus to your units and commanders. They come with a matching slot on the motherboard. Fill with the corresponding chip to increase the motherboard bonus, following the established motherboard logic. b) The Joker Chip bonus has a crucial advantage, although its bonus is not as powerful as regular chips, in that you can place the Joker in any motherboard slot. Its strength is that the Joker allows you to bypass the slot color restrictions and get the most out of your motherboard bonus by fulfilling the matching requirements of the slots. c) Getting the New Chips - Unique Chips can be obtained from chip chests of Epic rarity, adding another layer of strategy to your gameplay. - Joker Chips are part of the Rare chip chest pool. - Unique and Joker chips are also available in the Rare mixed chest, giving you more ways to customize your units and commanders. 1.3 Salvaging Connectors You can now salvage connectors from the Programming building, fine-tune your setups, and maximize your strategies. 1.4 Debris Changes - The loot from your damaged units has been reduced by 50%. - The Debris earned from units killed by your army will get you 5% of the total kills as Debris, enhancing this crucial resource. 1.5 Visual Upgrades - We added visual elements to identify socketing and connecting chips, making it easier to see and manage your upgrades. - Drones and Mechs have now been added to the World Map army marches, offering an even more immersive experience during battles. 2. LIEUTENANT KITTY IS HERE Lieutenant Kitty is joining the battle, and she is here to lead your Drones to victory. Her first ability increases your Drones' survivability, granting them a dodge chance and a damage boost after dodging an attack. Her second ability allows your Drones to fire at an additional target, always targeting the strongest enemy stack of units. Like her colleagues, Lieutenant Kitty also has a Specialization Talent Tree of passive bonuses, which we will review in an upcoming YouTube video. Stay tuned! 3.
