Hi there !
Update 7.40 is on its way and we are ready to reveal its features. Clans are in the spotlight this time around: Clash of the Hydra comes to the game, offering powerful new rewards in the form of stone hides and protective accessories; in addition, Clan vs. Clan tournaments will be enriched with new activities to keep the competition fresh and fun, and fast-paced combat will be introduced for the Demon Lord. Additionally, we will also be updating stone skins and armor sets, and releasing several new champions.

Hydra Showdown
The basics
The Hydra Showdown is a weekly mini-tournament involving 5 Clans. The objective is simple: earn more battle points than your opponent. To do this, you need to participate in hydra fights, deal damage, and use multipliers to your advantage (more on that in the next section).
Only players who are part of a Clan – a natural requirement, since you can't access the Hydra battle otherwise – and who are at least level 45 can participate. Clans must have at least 10 members of level 45 or higher. The Clan in question must also have earned at least 50 Clan Activity Stars in the last 7 days. After the first casts, Clans will be pitted against each other based on their average performance in the last 4 Hydra encounters, to ensure a fair and even matchup.
Important Note : The first Hydra encounter will be launched in test mode. This means that only the top 3000 Clans in the game (based on their ranking) who meet the above conditions will be able to participate. Next, we'll introduce the Clash to the other Clans in the Raid.
Points and multipliers on the clash
The damage you inflict on the Hydra will serve as the basis for the encounter points you will earn, but good management of multipliers will be the key to victory. These multipliers are only available the first time you use a Hydra Key on a specific difficulty and, as the name suggests, they increase the number of points you earn by a specific value which you can see in the list below:
- Normal: No multiplier
- Difficult: x2
- Brutal: x3
- Nightmare: x4
Awards
Only Clans that take the top 3 places in the Hydra Showdown will get rewards. Of course, winning the matchup results in better matchup chests. Additionally, players must participate in the Hydra Clash and reach a certain amount of Clash Points before they can claim any rewards, and the more points you earn, the more you will be rewarded in the end.
Hydra Showdown Chests will be broadly similar to Hydra Chests, but the artifacts they contain will be replaced with stone skins and protective accessories that complement the respective artifact sets and provide additional bonuses for 7, 8 and 9 pieces equipped by a single champion. Additionally, both sets will receive a bonus in Update 7.40. You can find the new statistics in the infographic below:
Clan vs. Clan Tournaments Update
Update 7.40 also brings new tournament objectives to CvC tournaments and expands several existing objectives. You can check the list below:
- Iron Twins (New Objectives)
- Demon's Necropolis (new objectives)
- Ghost of the Shogun (new objectives)
- Ascension artifacts and accessories (added to equip objectives)
- Obtain Perfect Souls (added to Champion Objectives)
- Earn crests in arena battles (added to arena objectives)
Additionally, Tiers 2-6 (Clan Tiers and Personal Tiers) will be expanded to include more clans and players.
Demon Lord Quick Fight (Clan Boss)
We know that with the arrival of new features in Raid, our players need to spend more and more time in the game. We are taking measures to remedy this problem, especially with the Quick Battle mode for the Demon Lord .
The concept is simple: when you start a quick fight, the game takes into account your champion's power, your team composition, skill presets, and more. and simulates a fight against the Demon Lord in seconds.
To unlock this feature, you need to deal enough damage to get the last Clan boss chest in a single Clan boss fight. Quick Combat is difficulty specific, but you'll retroactively unlock it on all lower difficulties if you unlock it on a higher difficulty (this will mostly apply to high level players).
