The system will be available after completing the Anti-Storm Defense of Villatablón 2.
After this, the players will unlock a sequence of missions as a tutorial for the advantages recombobulator, besides sufficient resources to complete them.
Players who have completed the Antiterrorist Shield Defense of Villatablón 2 will already have these missions available, in addition to the initial resources.
By using the advantages rewinder, players can choose the advantages of their schemes and improve their power.
You can choose the advantage that you want to add from a list of allowed advantages for that space, without random uses!
Now the advantages have two new levels of power so that the schemes are more powerful than ever!
The schemes that were obtained before v.4.2 (legacy schemes) will have to be converted before they can modify their advantages.
The advantages recombobulator uses new resources!
¡ADVANTAGE !, which is used to change and improve advantages.
ADVANTAGE !, which is used to improve advantages.
TO FIRE !, which is used to change the fire element.
NATURALIST !, which is used to change the nature element.

The legacy schemes have to be converted in order to improve their rarity in the advantages rewinder.
It is unlocked with the nodes of the 2-star evolution skills tree for weapons and traps.

Assaults Repairs the refuge
To reduce the decrease in the clashes, these will no longer be timed.
Now players will have to eliminate a certain number of enemies in each round.
However, the last match still has time.
The number of enemies will increase by 10 in any of the first 3 rounds and then remain the same as the values ​​of the third round.
Now the rewards of the minillama vary according to the mission of antitorque shield defense.
Before, players could get a fixed amount of minillams (1-4) depending on the performance in the mission, since it did not take into account the difficulty.
Now, the breakdown of the minillames is as follows:
Stony Forest: from 1 to 4
Villatablon: from 2 to 5

The score and rewards of construction tips have been changed to a victory badge in the mission.

Critical index:
The critical index is the new way to evaluate the critical probability in the game.
All the advantages that previously gave critical probability now give a critical index.
This new system combines all your critical index.
Then, the critical index becomes critical probability.
And, finally, the critical probability is added to the basic value of critical probability of weapons.
The changes of the critical index only affect the schemes that you have recently achieved or those that you have converted with the recombobulator.
All heroes and defenders have been modified to use the critical index.
As part of these changes, the probability of basic criticism in all remote weapons has been increased by 5%.
