The video starts with the introduction of Lucky Chests, replacing Lucky Drops, with three types: Common, Magic, and Seasonal. Seasonal Lucky Chests will offer themed rewards including cards, cosmetics, champions, and evolution shards. Also, Champion mechanics are changing; they now cycle like normal cards, and only one Champion can be active at a time, with the most recent holding its ability. Mirror will now also work with Champions.
Merge Tactics is receiving significant updates, including monthly seasonal resets and seven new Troops. Bomber is temporarily removed, and Rulers will rotate, with Goblin Queen returning in October and a new Ruler, Loong, arriving in November. New Traits (Electric, Fire, Mage) and Modifiers are also being added to shake up gameplay and will be detailed in in-game news.
The team addresses community feedback, including plans to nerf the Goblin Machine in October due to its dominance on the Ladder. They are also exploring the possibility of bringing back in-person events like King's Cup, acknowledging their popularity. The previous damage amplification mechanic of Goblin Curse is being considered for a future new Card.
Two new card evolutions are previewed. Skeleton Army evolves with the 'Skeleton General'; as long as he is alive, the other skeletons are invulnerable, requiring players to target the General first. Royal Ghost also evolves, summoning 'Souldiers' (a pun on 'soldiers') from the shadows to smite targets when Royal Ghost attacks from invisibility.
