Disney Heroes: Battle Mode Update 1.10.4
Welcome to the Disney Heroes: Battle Mode 1.10.4 Update! Welcome all-new heroes Bo Peep and Ducky & Bunny from Disney and Pixar’s Toy Story 4! And don’t mind us getting a little emotional that Anger from Inside Out is also here!
In this update, we’ve reduced stamina costs for older chapters on all servers that have a new chapter being released. When a new chapter is added to a server, the stamina cost for the next 3 newest will be decreased, and everything older than that will cost 6. This will also change the cost for Elite and Friend campaign levels. Dynamic Stamina costs will give players who are feeling behind a little boost, making their stamina spending more rewarding.
We’ve received some good feedback from players asking for more quality-of-life improvements, and we’ve added more of those requests in our recent releases. In 1.10.2 we added new guild perks, levels for Trials/Ports, and adjusted Guild War matchmaking to be less repetitive.
Going forward we have more plans in place to improve overall quality of life and play. In the near term (i.e. currently slated for 1.11), we plan to add:
- Guild perks for Heist and Invasion, as well as more raids for Creep Surge.
- A way to “quick fight” Friend Campaigns that will be accessible to all players (no VIP requirement).
- Guild Contests, which are like individual contests, but all rewards are based on the guild’s collective score.
- These contests will also offer ways to unlock even more guild perks and earn cosmetic rewards like new Guild Emblems.
A little further out, we have:
- An update to the Arena/Coliseum progression, where the Challenger tier will turn into a monthly tournament for top ranks and rewards.
- We know the promotion timers in Arena and Coliseum can be a source of frustration for players. Tiers below Challenger will become easier to promote up from, with the aim of getting more folks into Challenger to compete in the monthly tournament.
- A new Guild Shop where more powerful players can help players whose heroes are further behind catch up in both XP and skill level.
- Basically, players with extra gold and XP can use it to level up the heroes of players in their Guild who have less.
- Plans for our first server merges. We have a couple smaller servers that would benefit from combining forces to form a single larger server with more social activity.
- We’ll make sure to announce merger plan well in advance so players and guilds can prepare.
We have other feature plans in the mix as well, not to mention a regular supply of awesome new heroes. It’s always tricky sharing future plans, since things often evolve and change. So please note that not everything will launch exactly as described above. But we’ll do our best!

Stamina Cost Changes
In an effort to help you get your new heroes caught up more quickly, starting with this release, whenever a new chapter is introduced to your server each previous chapter will have its stamina cost reduced!
For example, if the current campaign chapter costs are the following…
- Chapter 18 = 12 stamina
- Chapter 17 = 12 stamina
- Chapter 16 = 10 stamina
When the new chapter is released, the previous chapter costs will be reduced…
- (new) Chapter 19 = 12 stamina
- Chapter 18 = 10 stamina
- Chapter 17 = 10 stamina
- Chapter 16 = 8 stamina
The only instance where this won’t occur is when the cost of the new chapter is increased from the previous chapter…
- (new) Chapter 19 = 14 stamina
- Chapter 18 = 12 stamina
- Chapter 17 = 10 stamina
- Chapter 16 = 8 stamina
Duke Caboom “Badge of Bravery” Memory Disk Buff!
On Thursday June 20th, Duke Caboom got a rad buff to his Memory Disk with Woody: Badge of Bravery!
- The new Disk stats give Duke Caboom more Armor and Max HP.
- In addition, Duke’s ability to heal his allies are 10% better at 5-Stars, for a total of 50% healing of his Max HP
- We’re making these changes because even though Duke Caboom is a new hero, his second disk with Kim Possible is not going to be available in the near future
Other Improvements
- New Disney Emoji for Bo Peep will be given out to all players!
- There’s now an easy way to level up heroes – introducing the Hero Level Up Buttons!

Bug Fixes
- Fixed an issue where initial contest rankings always displayed the player’s rank as #2. The initial displayed rank will now be “N/A”.
- Fixed an issue where, on some devices, not all contest buttons were displayed.
- Fixed an issue in Heist where the “online” indicator was sometimes still displaying after having kicked a player from the session.

while I think this is a good idea (on S3 our top 3 guilds all have around 10 inactive accounts in them…) the potential for catastrophe seems high, considering it was often dismissed in the past for being technically unachieveable.
that seems a little too strong.
