NEW HERO

Khaleed
Desert Scimitar

 Fighter Icon Skill Description

Hero Feature: A swift and dauntless fighter who battles with the help of the Desert Power.

Skill 1: [Desert Tornado] Khaleed shoots sand knives, dealing damage to nearby enemies. Upon hitting the enemy, he leaps one time in the movement direction and casts this skill again for a maximum of 3 times.

Skill 2: [Quicksand Guard] Khaleed protects himself with the power of quicksand, restoring HP and Desert Power and reducing damage taken. Meanwhile, quicksand appears under his feet, slowing nearby enemies.

Ultimate: [Raging Sandstorm] Khaleed summons a sandstorm and rushes toward a designated place, gaining Control Immunity, dealing damage to enemies on the path and constantly pushing them. Upon arriving at the destination, Khaleed shakes the ground, dealing great damage to enemies within the range and stunning them.

Passive: [Sand Walk] Khaleed accumulates Desert Power while moving. After Desert Power is fully charged, Khaleed will slide on sand, increasing Movement Speed and enhancing his next Basic Attack. With the enhanced Basic Attack, Khaleed dashes to the target and raises a wave of surging sand, dealing damage to the target and enemies behind and leaving a pool of sand. Khaleed gains Movement Speed on the sand pool while his enemies are slowed on it.

Note: Khaleed will be available on August 6 (Server Time) and Pre-Sale on July 31 (Server Time), costing  Battle-points-cost 32000 or  Diamonds-cost 599 with 30% Discount during launch week.

Magic Chess Season 2 - Cadia Tales

From The Designers,

The last update was a great success as there was massive positive feedback from our players. With the new heroes and synergies, our players were able to come up with more strategies in the game. But we also found that the great changes in the synergy had caused a struggle for some players to learn the new mechanism. Thus, we had set a goal for ourselves when designing the new update: to make the new content both easy to learn and novel to experience. Fortunately, we have generated a few plans, and some of them have already been implemented in this update of the new season - Cadia Tales. In Cadia Tales, there is going to be a hero rotation, and the new heroes including the much-awaited Yu Zhong are joining the Magic Chess! While few adjustments are made in the Synergy, many new contents are added to the Equipment and the Little Commanders.

Ravage Mode is back! As the most fast-paced mode, the Ravage Mode was only available for a short period last year. During the past year, we have made a significant update to this mode according to last year's feedback, including the new 3V3 mode. For details, please refer to the mode patch notes.
