New Champions and Traits
- Returning Champions: Shaco (1-cost), Brand and Aphelios (4-cost), and newcomers Aurora and Kobuko (5-cost).
- Traits:
- Street Demon: Power up champions on marked hexes.
- Anima Squad: League-inspired weapons auto-fire in combat.
- Golden Ox: Increases damage and drops gold.

New Set Mechanic: Hacks
Hackers alter key elements like Shops, Carousels, and Augments, adding unpredictable gameplay twists. Glitched Carousels also return, offering bonus items and surprises.
Cosmetic Upgrades
Players can customize their experience with new arenas, Portal skins, and Little Legends like Kuro & Shiro. Portals now offer an additional layer of personalization.
Double Up and Tocker’s Trials Updates
- Double Up becomes a permanent mode, adding team-based mechanics like the Teamwork Cannon for sending champions and items.
- Tocker’s Trials stays live throughout Cyber City, providing a low-stakes, PvE learning experience.
