Armor is no longer just for looks. Every piece in the Armory can now forge real power into your heroes — five combat stats plus two brand-new ones, Memory and Luck, that boost the XP and gold your students earn everywhere. Gear up, kit out a full set, and watch the numbers climb.
The Academy's instructors are here — for everyone. Ten NPCs guide heroes through every feature of the Academy, and nine more are waiting for every Guild Leader across 28 setup pages. Tutorial music, gold spotlights, and the Oracle herself redesigned to send new teachers on their way.
Group Battles, six patrol zones, permanent combat stats, and a wave of quality-of-life improvements — all in one massive update. Run your whole class on one screen, explore three new realms of patrol, and feel the full weight of Attack Power, Defense Power, and Spell Power in every fight.
Small quality-of-life improvements: guild filtering on Retire Heroes, a wider teacher profile, and a Return to Dashboard button on student settings.
A focused round of live battle fixes — Zen Shield now correctly limits to one guardian per round, and HP/MP restore respects your active guild.
Quest and mission content just got a whole lot richer. Teachers can now insert visual math equations and live music notation directly into their lessons — no image editing required.
Your hero's look is now your own. Choose your hair and armor colors from the Forge — original combos are generated on demand and shared across the entire academy the moment they're created. Also in this update: Healers gain a fifth out-of-combat power, the Guild Hall can broadcast duel challenges, and a host of teacher tools and quality-of-life improvements.
Duels now reward knowledge, not collusion. Rewards are proportional to correct answers, wrong answers cost HP, and a new Mercy Stop ends battles when a hero falls too low to continue.
Several fixes to collaborative out-of-combat powers, an improved targeting interface, a correction to how sacrifice powers interact with protective effects in live battles, and Guild Hall message display fixes.
Never miss a moment — Academy of Heroes now supports real desktop push notifications, even when the app tab is closed or in the background.
A major overhaul of the Guild Hall chat — Discord-style channels, emoji reactions, reply threading, typing indicators, moderation tools, anti-spam safety features, and numerous reliability improvements.
A massive overhaul of the battle system and out-of-combat powers — six new in-battle class abilities, a full suite of out-of-combat powers for all three classes, rebalanced mechanics, a reworked shield interaction model, live voice chat, a new teacher onboarding wizard, and dozens of bug fixes.
