What's New? Hostile Entities: Brace yourselves for the unexpected! Encounter the fierce Barge Beast and navigate the treacherous Creature Pit. These dynamic elements introduce an entirely new layer of strategy and danger, keeping every match fresh and unpredictable. Mutations: Embrace the chaos with the Mutated State. Draw from the Mutation Deck and watch as helots undergo astonishing transformations, altering the course of battle. Adapt or die! Helot Motivations: Four new helot types bring unique abilities and playstyles to the arena. Will you command a Bloodthirster, a Critiqueur, a People's Champion, or a Sadist? Choose your motivation and let the mayhem begin! Hazards: Instruct your helot to navigate Toxic Waste Tiles, dodge Dart Columns, and topple Waste Barrels.
