Hey everyone! The end of April has been jam packed. First with the release of our Spring Roadmap for 2025, and now with info and patch notes announcing detailing our 7.2.1 patch and May BACKSTAGE PASS: MALICE IN WONDERLAND (art courtesy of @MadameRinrin).

After April’s very shiny breather, we’re thrilled to return with two brand-new variants making their debut this month:

• Mad Malice Marie (Diamond Offensive Support)
• Tyrannical Painwheel (Gold Offensive)

This twisted duo brings the duality of light and dark to the fight—whether you’re locking down enemies with Malice’s sinister support, or risking it all with Painwheel’s glass cannon nature, you’ll have new tools to shake up your strategy.

What's in the May Backstage Pass?

May marks the return of the Mariachi Diamond Relic that contains a slew of fighters to help you achieve victory.

You’ll also find returning favorites in the Duality Spotlight Relic, updated for May. This relic will help you bring the heat or make a splash in this fire and water themed relic.

7.2.1 Quality of Life Improvements and Infrastructure Updates

This month we continue our focus on updating back-end systems which will support the more ambitious updates in the future. We did also want to address some minor QoL updates we could fit in based on player feedback:

• Social Gift Cap raised from 50 to 200
• Story Mode now remembers your last mission, so you can pick up right where you left off.
• Improved visual clarity in menus like Story Mode and Relic Opening.
• Store Offer UI improvements – better readability and transparency when browsing bundles.

Free Gifts

All players will receive a 7.2 Launch Celebration Gift, featuring: 🎁 Minette Avatar, 3 Premiere Relics, 100,000 Canopy Coins, 4H XP Boost, and 5 Gold Social Gifts.

What’s Next?

Further down the rabbit hole we go. We're continuing to build out new features and infrastructure that will allow us to accelerate content in the months ahead—including new modes, more community-driven updates, and of course... more variants.

Thank you for being a part of this journey—we’re excited for what’s to come.
