Prepare your team and enter Summer Hunt
- Fill your available team slots before choosing an activity. Every account now has six unit slots, so returning players should review their equipped team instead of carrying over an incomplete lineup.
Choose the summer reward you want
Choose a target before settling into repeated runs. Summer Hunt starts several reward routes, so the next activity depends on whether you want summer summons, portal units or bonuses for future clears.
| Your target | Route to follow |
|---|---|
| Sunny Stars and Phoenix |  Use Summer Pearls to open Sunny Stars. Phoenix belongs to this star-opening route.Playing this video connects to YouTube. |
| Explosion Mage | Clear all 50 Summer Hunt waves for a chance at Explosion Mage's portal, then play that portal to pursue the unit.Playing this video connects to YouTube. |
| Sky God | |
| Charms | Win Summer Hunt for a chance at a Charm. Equip it through the inventory's Charms tab for bonuses to damage, rewards and secret drop chances.Playing this video connects to YouTube. |
Review banners and the other new activities
Check the Special, Legacy and Summer banners before spending summon resources. The update changes these banner systems, and Fishy and Water Goddess are limited summer units. Choose a unit that fills a missing role in your team before committing your resources.
Use the Celestial Compass when you have a clear Special banner target. It lets you select your next Mythic, is consumed when your chosen unit arrives, and resets the banner's pity when that happens. Make the selection around the team you want to build.Playing this video connects to YouTube.
Check Elf Mage's weekly Artifacts, Summer Bingo and the Summer Merchant alongside your main farm. New Infinity Mansion, Battle Pass, Tournament and Leaderboard seasons also begin with the update. Inspect the current offerings before committing resources, because timed pools and weekly offerings can rotate.
Use the easier access to rebuild your account
New and returning players have more choices immediately. Challenges no longer require the corresponding Story level, and Infinity Mansion no longer requires Story progression. You can try these activities without following an older Story-first unlock route.
Use Challenge matchmaking when you want help, or organize your group in a free private server. Parties support up to six players. Treat the open access as a chance to test your team, then return to preparation if a mode feels too difficult.
During runs, use the minimap and visible debuff timers to keep track of the action. Faster waves and beta seamless replay are also part of the update. These changes are useful to review while getting comfortable with the new patch.
Questions before your next run
- Can ground units hit normal flying enemies now?
- Yes. Ground attacks can hit normal flying enemies, but deal half damage to them. Soaring enemies have a separate restriction: your attacking unit must stand on a hill.
- Does completing Summer Hunt give Explosion Mage directly?
- Should I open the highest Sky Portal tier I own?
- Do I need a full party for Summer Hunt?
