NEW! In-game Scoreboard
- Your score is based on the new Power Score (see below)
Players, especially new players, frequently commented that they thought they were doing well until they suddenly lost. The in-game scoreboard provides quicker feedback when they get ahead or fall behind, which should help with the learning curve.
Power Score
- MVP Score has been replaced by Power Score, which takes into account your value, gold, gold spent on workers, and mythium
- Power Score is a measure of how strong you are, not necessarily how well you’re playing. You can think of it as Legion TD 2’s version of KDA
- Power Score updates at the start of each day (battle phase) to avoid giving away real-time information
The old MVP Score formula took into account lane matchups and sending patterns to describe how well you played. The new Power Score reflects simply how strong you are. This should make the formula easier to interpret and more relevant for the in-game scoreboard.
NEW! Roll Recommender
- Instead of having the first 6 fighters checked by default, the recommender will pre-select a well-balanced roll.
- Some tips will also be displayed if your roll is lacking something important
This should help newer players pick better rolls and learn what makes a good roll. It also offers a more relaxed way to play Mastermind for players that find roll selection stressful.
NEW! Mercenary Queue
- Hold Shift+Click to queue up a mercenary that you can’t afford. It will be hired as soon as you can afford it.
- Hold Shift+Right Click to dequeue.
- If you have multiple mercenaries queued up, it will try to save up to try to afford the most expensive one. Once the wave starts; however, it will make sure to spend mythium on the cheaper queued mercenaries.
Example: It’s wave 2 and you have 50 mythium. You want to send a Brute for 3, but you aren’t sure if you can afford it. If you can’t afford it, you’d like to send two Snails instead. You can queue up a Brute and two Snails and when the wave starts, it will try to send a Brute first, but failing that, it will send two Snails.
NEW! Worker Queue
- Hold Shift+Click to queue up a worker that you can’t afford. It will be trained as soon as you can afford it.
- Hold Shift+Right Click to dequeue.
- If you can already afford a worker when you queue one up, it will just purchase it right away
Game Fixes & Improvements
Major Localization Update
- Significantly improved Chinese/Japanese IME experience; characters now appear instantly when typed, and the autocomplete window now appears next to the input line instead of in the corner of the screen. (Thanks to the Coherent team for help with this implementation!)
- All chat/user-generated text now uses a universal font, so even if your language is set to English for example, you can see text (rather than boxes/glitchy text) from Chinese. The same goes for typing; if your game is set to English, you can type in Chinese if you wanted to.
- Many English game texts are now localized, most notably the post-game score screens. At this point, the whole game is pretty much fully ready for translation!

Reworked Unit Tooltips

- You can always have detailed stats visible by adjusting your settings
Quality of Life (In-game)
- If you have a tower selected when the wave starts, you will now automatically select the fighter
- Wale Chief (Wave 18) mana bar is now hidden
- A variety of HUD fixes and small improvements, such as adding tooltips and fixing edges
Quality of Life (Client)
- If the lobby server restarts, and you were in queue, you will now automatically requeue after reconnecting to the lobby
Stability
- Improved lag mitigation and detection when clients/servers get higher than normal amounts of errors
New Emoji: This is fine
