1. Evolution Evolved! No more level limit!
We will be lifting the Evolution pre-requisites, where a Skylander had to reach its max level according to its grade (or Star level). So that means ANY Skylander of ANY grade can reach Lv. 70.

2. Guaranteed Soul Stone drops in Adventure Mode
Soul Stone drops will be a guaranteed for each Skyland Adventure stage, but there will be a daily limit to the amount of Soul Stones that can be acquired.
Also, the Skylander you will get from each Skyland stage will be renewed. Every Portal Master will have a chance to earn a certain amount of Soul Stones from Adventures!

3. Greatly decreased Potion usage cost
We know that the gold cost was a big burden to those who wanted to use potions to level up your Skylanders, so we will greatly (and we mean it!) decrease the gold cost for potion usage.
But wait, there’s more!
Potions of all grades will cost the exact same amount of gold to use!

4. Master Eon’s Guide!
We have handpicked Skylanders loved by all Portal Masters and added their Soul Stones as rewards into the brand new Master Eon’s Guide missions!
When you complete a mission given by Master Eon, you’ll get even more Soul Stones of various Skylanders and you’ll even get a Legendary Skylander once all missions are cleared!

5. Companion Villain Cooldown time renewal
We’ve revamped the system to have different cooldown times for initial summon and re-summon, in hopes that companion Villains will offer a more diverse experience when used in journeys into Skylands!
Here’s a chart to help visualize the cooldown changes.

Villain	Current Cooldown	Initial Cooldown	Re-summon Cooldown
Chompy	30	10	35
Broccoli Guy	30	15	60
Smoke Scream	30	5	40
Bad Juju	30	15	35
Chomp Chest	30	5	40
Trolling Thunder	30	10	35
Rage Mage	30	30	20
Masker Mind	30	10	35
Eye Scream	30	15	30
Eye Five	30	15	30

6. Energy 50% Sale prices become permanent!
We are planning on permanently fixing the Energy prices to current 50% sale prices so that Portal Masters can keep adventuring to their heart’s content!

■ Revised Summon & Point Systems
The Summoning system felt very lackluster. To bring back the excitement of summoning Skylanders, we've come to the conclusion that the system as a whole needs a rework. (The Soul Stones you will get, will be more than the Soul Stones needed for a whole Skylander)

- Wish Stone Summon
> Wish Stone Summons will contain Soul Stones only, from 1★ to 5★, and other items and Villains will be excluded.
> The quantity of Soul Stones from the Summon will increase greatly.

- Premium Summon
> Premium Summon will split into 8 Elements instead of 4. (Light and Dark excluded)
> Gems will not be usable for Premium Summon any more. Instead, we will be adding a new ‘Ticket’ which we will explain briefly below.

- New ‘Realm Summon’
We wanted to make sure that Realm of Souls was not just used when there was a Skylander that Portal Master was interested in. Realm of Souls will not drop designated Soul Stones, instead will drop Tickets you can collect and use to purchase the ‘Realm Summon’.
> Realm Summons will have Soul Stones from 3★ to 5★.
> Specific details will be shared with the upcoming Update Notice.

- Normal/Ultra Premium Summon
> We will be increasing the amount of Soul Stones significantly.

- Point System
> Points will be given with Normal Summon as well.
> 50 Soul Stones of 5★ Skylanders (except for Light/Dark Skylanders) will be rewarded for summoning 10 times with Ultra Premium or 80 times with Normal.
> Your current Points will be maintained/compensated. We will give you more details with the Official Update Notice.

■ Revised Adventures
Due to the revision on the Summon systems, we made some corresponding changes to Adventures. Adventures will be a place to learn about the game, experience the story, and the main place to earn Skylanders’ EXP. The amount of EXP from each stage will increase greatly, but Soul Stones will not be available from Stages 1 to 6. We will maintain the Soul Stone drop from Stage 7. More details will be available on the upcoming notice.

■ Transmuting Soul Stones
A new system where you can use Soul Stones in the inventory to extract Shards will be added. When you get enough Shards, a Ticket for Premium Summon can be transmuted with the Shards. (We will let you know the quantity of Soul Stones required to transmute in the upcoming notice.)

■ Skylander Stat Rebalancing
According to the changes on Soul Stones acquisition, we will adjust the Stat increase from Power-Up and Evolution, so that the upgrade will be apparent and worthwhile.

■ Shop Items & Reward Modifications
- Items at the Guild Shop and Arena Shop will be renewed.
- Rewards including Missions/Quests rewards and Star rewards will be renewed.

■ 2 New Skylanders
- 2 new Skylanders (of Undead/Light Element) will be revealed.

■ New Content Development
Other than preparing the above update, we are diligently working on new features as well.
A new Episode Dungeon and 61F+ in Mirage Tower are under development, and at the same time are going through internal tests and balancing. As soon as we have finalized these new features, we will share the details.
In addition, we’re preparing new contents including new Adventure stages, Championship Ring and brand-new Rune Dungeons. So please stay tuned!
