We're collaborating with PvP auto battler Claws & Chaos! They just announced their release date - October 22nd - and added an Endless mode called Rapture Mode that you can playtest now.

This update adds two characters from Claws & Chaos as recipes: The Rat Chef and the Squirrel Archer! You can craft these cute critters when you have picked up the Big Bowl of Treats on Ranger, granting you access to the Friends of the Forest!

We are also making some balancing adjustments after adding the Skills last week. It was awesome to hear you like them a lot! We'll be doing a poll soon on our Discord about the next item sets.
