Disney Heroes: Battle Mode Update 5.9.01
Welcome to the Disney Heroes: Battle Mode 5.9.01 Update! This release features bug fixes, new content, and improvements.
Updates
- NEW Prize Wall Revamped (Soon™)
- NEW Mastery Skins
- NEW Chapter, Hero Levels, and Ranks
- Battle Pass Month 2
Battle Pass Month 2
As you all will remember from previous Patch Notes and announcements, we are slowing down the cadence of new hero releases in 2024 to focus more on QoL improvements. With that in mind, Luz Noceda will be featured in a second month of Battle Pass, but with exclusive cosmetics!
The Month 2 Battle Pass will have similar rewards as Month 1, with these additions:
- Free Track:
- Luz Noceda Mastery Threads
- Premium Track:
- Luz Noceda Mastery Threads
- Luz Noceda Cringe Avatar
- Luz Noceda Excited Avatar
- An exclusive Magic Border in the style of Luz’s cloak!
Prize Wall Revamp
The hiatus is almost over! We are so excited to announce that the Prize Wall is coming back later this month, featuring Daisy Duck! As we all know, the new hero has migrated to the Battle Pass, and we wanted to keep the Prize Wall around as an exciting event to earn extra resources, special rewards, and exclusive cosmetics.
The New Prize Wall will include:
- New meta quests tailored towards the featured hero
- A hero refresh
- 3 weeks runtime, with 1 week in between the next one
- Inclusion of Wish Crates in the reward pool
- An improvement in rewarded Stamina Consumables
- A new jackpot: Hero Mastery Threads!
The first revamped Prize Wall is slated to appear Thursday, March 21st, 2024.
Mastery Skins
Per the State of the Game post back in November, we are thrilled to release Mastery Skins to Disney Heroes: Battle Mode!
What exactly are they? Mastery Skins are exclusive cosmetics that can be unlocked with Mastery Threads, which can be earned during a limited timeframe. Each hero will have their own unique Mastery Thread, and you can unlock up to 3 different tiers of Mastery Skins for that hero using these threads at increasing costs.
These are the 3 tiers and their associated thread costs:
- Gold - 100 threads
- Platinum - 500 threads
- Challenger - 2000 threads
Once you unlock a Mastery Skin, a new challenge will appear for that hero. Completing these achievements will not be easy, but you can earn an exclusive avatar as a reward! Achievements include winning battles in Arena and Coliseum while wearing particular Mastery cosmetics.
Improvements
- Chapter 79 gold per run increased up to 500,000 in Normal Campaign and 1,000,000 in Elite Campaign
- This will not affect past chapters
- There will be a UI issue where the gold meter during combat in campaign modes disappears, but you will still be rewarded the new gold amount. Our priority was to get this change out to you, and this bug showed up just recently, so we won’t be able to fix it until the next update. Sorry about the inconvenience!
- Adjusted gold, diamond, and token buy costs for Chapter 78 & 79 Badges and Bits
- These are now more in line with current on hand numbers
- Past badges beyond these chapters will be reviewed and adjusted later down the line as the team works on a Market Refresh for a future update
- Increased stamina rewarded for reaching a new Team Level achievement, starting with TL 421
- Past achievements will not be affected
- Significant bump to stamina generated at daily check-ins
- Other free sources such as generation and weekly check-ins will increase on schedule, but not at the same jump as daily check-ins
Bug Fixes
- Fixed an issue with mailbox claim not working properly
- The crashes were caused by too much unclaimed mail
- As a fix, we have added a limit to how much mail will be shown at a time, with newest mail showing up first
- Once the newest mail is claimed, the next batch will appear – you will not lose any mail in this process
- Fixed Real Gear level up causing performance issues
- Mickey Mouse skill tooltip issue fixed
- Fixed a looping issue caused by Joy, Miguel, & Kermit
- The mechanical changes to Mickey and Miguel are being made to mitigate infinite loops in combat
- The tooltip change for Miguel in regards to gaining energy + SP for “having at least one Sharp note” is actually a correction
- The tooltip now accurately explains how the skill has been working since his kit refresh
