Call of Antia – New Hero Deedlite, Alliance Intruder Optimizations and More in Update 1.7.100

A new hero is always up for grab in updates for Call of Antia. For update 1.7.100, the new hero is none other than the mysterious runic mage Deedlite. Deedlite was showcased to the players even before the game gained popularity quite a while back. Since then, the game has come a long way in terms of its ever-growing roster of heroes. Players can see the preview video for Deedlite on the game’s official YouTube channel. Players can summon Deedlite on the “The Greatest Mage” summoning banner using their Tears of Ancestors or Gems. Some important optimizations for the newly released Alliance Intruder game mode are also taking place. Optimizations for the tournament of Valor are also going to be happening with the new update. Let’s take a brief look at all the new content and changes that were made to Call of Antia with Update 1.7.100.

The Greatest Mage – Deedlite, The Survivor and Snafe

The heroes that are featured in the new The Greatest Mage summoning banner are Deedlite, The Survivor, and Snafe. Out of the 3 heroes, only Deedlite is a 5-Star hero whereas The Survivor and Snafe are 4-Star heroes. Players can summon them on the limited The Greatest Mage banner which will feature these 3 new heroes at a drop rate-up. Deedlite is the newest hero being added to the game. The rates remain the same for the base rarity units but players will have a higher chance of obtaining the 3 new heroes if they summon a 5-Star/4-Star unit.

Alliance Intruder Optimizations

New game modes are always coming with a problem or something of their own due to bad optimizations. The same can be said is the case with the Alliance Intruder that was released in Update 1.6.100 for the masses. The current update 1.7.100 deals with many of the issues relating to optimization for the Alliance Intruder in the following ways:

  • The earlier style of auto battles has been changed to the classic match-3 puzzle RPG style we all love and adore in Call of Antia.
  • Earlier, the games were decided by which Dragoneer’s team had the highest battle power but with this new change, players need to manually win against opponents.
  • The battles in Alliance Intruder are no more turn-limited but now time-limited. Make sure to keep an eye out for the timer running at the top right-hand side of the battles. 
  • Deal as much damage as you can before the timer runs out to get your best rewards. 
  • The Alliance Intruder will only be defeated when the total damage dealt by all Alliance members meets the requirement.

Tournament of Valor Optimizations

Some new optimizations have been made to Tournament of Valor with Update 1.7.100:
