INVOKER TITAN “ISSUE”:
The Devs mentioned on their Official Blog that they are aware of the “issue” that has been discovered regarding the new Titans that have “Invoke” Skills. They said they plan to include a fix for this issue in the next Update (Version 1.38) - which should begin to roll out in stages sometime in early or middle June. (Note from SteelSpine: Wow. I guess defenses will be completely meaningless for at least 2-3 weeks. That’s cute. Good thing nobody here spends money on this game or anything like that - they’d probably be pretty upset).

TROOP BALANCING CHANGES:
The Devs mentioned way back on February 27 (and in the Version 1.37 Patch Notes) that they were planning on making some changes to troop balancing - but nothing ever happened. The Devs said in today’s Official Blog Update that the changes were delayed “due to an issue”. These changes will now go live TOMORROW (May 21, 2020). (NOTE from SteelSpine: There have been a few additions to the changes that were originally announced - I have noted them below).
ARCHERS:
Increase Base Damage by +10-20%, across Castle Levels 16-25.
(NOTE from SteelSpine: This change was announced in February, so there is NO ADDITIONAL CHANGE to Archers from what was originally announced a few months ago).
—
GRENADIERS:
Increase Base Critical by +1-15%, across Castle Levels 11-25.
Increase the Base Fire Damage by 5-10% across levels 16-25.
Rate of fire increase from 7 seconds per attack to 6 seconds.
Speed of movement increase of ~15%.
(NOTE from SteelSpine: The Base Critical change was announced in February. The Damage, Fire Rate and Movement Speed increases are all NEW - they were not mentioned in February at all).
—
PANTHERS:
Increase Base Health and Armor by 2-30% across Castle Levels 16-25.
(NOTE from SteelSpine: This MAY BE a typo by the Devs. The change that was originally announced in February was +20% to +30% across Castle Levels 16-25).

NEXT TWO WEEKS:
MONDAY, 25 MAY until THURSDAY, 28 MAY: A CONQUEST Event will take place, featuring the return of CERBERUS, the Omega Archer-Summoning Physical Berserker. (NOTE: Cerberus will NOT be Re-Skilled for this Event). Relics available in this Event include the 4* Ancient Crossbow, 4* Nature’s Call, 4* Tonic of Strength, 4* Tail of Cerberus and 4* Chains of Cerberus, as well as a special “Choose Your Titan Token” which you can trade in at the Temple for your choice of DELPHIRA, ILZAR or MAWROK. Individual Ranking Rewards will include various leveled Cerberus’ for the Top 1000 Players, 200 Divine Gems for Rank 1001-2000, 100 Divine Gems for R2001-10000 and small Gem Rewards for those below Rank 10000.
THURSDAY, 28 MAY: Another Leaderboard Event begins. This one will be called “HEAVENLY SENTINEL”, and will feature the Debut of a new Titan named TENGU. The lore posted by the Devs on the Official Blog is as follows:
“Deep within a cavern at the precipice of the tallest mountain in all the Shattered Kingdoms, an ancient, supernatural spirit stirs in the darkness. Kept away from contact with all living creatures for generations, TENGU begins his descent, unwavering in his intention of bringing war and chaos to all who reside in the realm”.
(NOTE from SteelSpine: No other information regarding Skills, Class or Relics was given by the Devs, but I am certain all will be revealed in next week’s Official Blog. Since the following Monday is a TITAN FUSION Event focusing on Infiltrators, we can ASSUME that he will be an Infiltrator - but the Devs have been throwing tradition out the window a lot lately, so this MAY NOT be the case. ALSO: A quick Google search reveals that Tengu are a type of legendary creature - or god - in Japanese folk religion, and that the name was borrowed from that of a similar fierce demon in Chinese mythology. You can see a picture of TENGU on the Official DoT Blog (via a quick Google search) - but it doesn’t offer many hints, especially since his weapon is not pictured. Fun fact from Wikipedia: The red “Japanese Goblin” Unicode Emoji appears to represent a Tengu).
—
MONDAY, 1 JUNE until TUESDAY, 2 JUNE: A TITANS UNLEASHED Event (also known as a TITAN FUSION EVENT). This one will feature Infiltrators in the Temple, but as always ALL same-class to same-class Fusion will result in the same XP bonus.
MONDAY, 1 JUNE until TUESDAY, 2 JUNE: A TROOPCRAFT mini-Event (discount on Troop Training and Troop Upgrades).
TUESDAY, 2 JUNE until THURSDAY, 4 JUNE: The second-ever RAID BOSS Event will take place. This one is named “The All-Father”, and will (presumably) feature battles against a uniquely skilled version of ODIN. (More details will probably be provided next week).
THURSDAY, 4 JUNE: Another Leaderboard Event begins. No information given at this time.
