What’s new
Changes of the site and the app, newest first. The version number in the header (at the bottom of the page on phones) tells which update is live.
v143live now
- SiteOptimizer: with «Max power», only artifacts the hero can wear are offered: ones for their class, and an exclusive only for its own hero.
- SiteNew page «How the app works»: answers to common questions about the app. It is linked from the download page.
- SiteHome: the project roadmap — the current stage, the state of each point and the overall progress.
- SiteFight calculations are more accurate: heroes recalled from the field are taken into account, an ultimate with the rage almost empty does not go off, and clones and summoned units are counted correctly. Artifact scores of heroes with summons were recalculated; no hero's best artifact changed.
- SiteSite updates now happen without downtime.
v142
- SiteOptimizer: in Team mode «Optimize for» sets the goal for the whole team (e.g. max power); before, it changed the goal of the hero picked in One-hero mode.
- SiteOptimizer and hero stats: the extra the game adds to an item’s main stat on top of its roll now counts (e.g. ATK 66% → 70.6%). Talent upgrades unlocked by owning other heroes count too, and faction exclusives on heroes of every faction. Max-power builds now match the in-game power; the data updates on the next sync.
- SiteOptimizer: with «Max power» the Artifact row suggests the artifact giving the most power with the build, and in Team mode artifacts are shared out between the heroes without repeats; «Equip in game» moves them too. Needs a new sync.
- SiteOptimizer: with «Max power» every item shows how much power it gives this very hero instead of the 0–100 score (heroes have different power coefficients, so one item gives one hero more than another).
- SiteArtifacts, «Who wears what»: the advice follows the hero’s awakening (1st, 3rd and 5th) — an awakened hero’s best artifact can be a different one.
- SiteArtifacts: the scoring was redone — the battle calculation now runs the special effects of gear and sets, card skills and every hero form, and the effects of four signature artifacts and of the rage artifacts are counted. The best artifact changed for a few heroes only.
- SiteArtifacts: the advice for stages and raids now comes from the hero’s own fight for almost every hero; before, damage dealers got the boss fight’s.
- SiteArtifacts: a hero without an artifact gets advice even while the best options are still being checked — any fitting artifact is clearly better than none.
- SiteArtifacts: Magmus and nine more heroes now get the artifact effects that check the wearer (e.g. «Volcanic Heart»); their scores were redone.
- SiteGame account switch: a long name no longer hides the app mark, the full name shows on hover, and the mark is now a computer icon.
- App 0.64«Equip in game»: in a short list under the sub stats filter the app no longer gives up on the last item: it scrolls no further than the end of the list, and the click after the scroll no longer clears the selection.
- App 0.64«Equip in game»: the app now gets to a hero far down the hero list: when the list is left far from the hero it sets the game’s filter first, and tries are counted only while the hero is not getting closer.
- App 0.64an artifact swap no longer starts again after «Done».
- App 0.64sync retries the upload once by itself when the connection drops and reports an error only if the second try fails too.
- App 0.64a loading screen shows on launch instead of a black window.
- App 0.64turning auto click on while a job is already running now shows the stop button over the game too.
- App 0.64a rejected sync code no longer shows as «No connection to the site».
v141
- SiteNew «Artifacts» section (beta): your collection, what you can promote now and who should wear what — all in the game’s style, with collection search and compact lists.
- SiteArtifacts: the «Promote now» tab shows the ready promotions and those waiting for material, and tells you where to do it in the game. Artifacts below the level cap are listed too when the mithril covers both the level-up and the promotion.
- SiteArtifacts: the «Show in game» button leads you through an artifact promotion.
- SiteArtifacts: the «Who wears what» tab (alpha) — hero cards with the gain from an artifact, counted from your real artifact levels («up to +N% after levelling»). A swap is shown only where the calculation is reliable, otherwise «calculation being refined». A free copy is preferred to taking an artifact from another hero («free — promote to stage N»).
- SiteArtifacts: «Best for the hero» opens over the card, shows each artifact’s status (free / in use / worn / none) and always lists the hero’s signature artifact. Healers and defenders are scored by their own battle measures.
- SiteArtifacts: the «Refine and forge» tab — gems, runes and meteorite forge odds.
- SiteOptimizer: a build now has an artifact hint (it follows the chosen «Mode»), and «Equip in game» can swap the artifact too — tick «and the artifact».
- SiteOptimizer: new top bar — hero, «Mode» (stages and raids / arena / bosses), what matters more and the leader; the choice is remembered per hero.
- SiteOptimizer: the fight length depends on the mode — on stages and raids (~150 s) sets that work at once are valued higher, against bosses (their fight time) the ones that ramp up; a hint under the result tells you if another set is better for a different kind of fight. «Stages and raids» is selected by default, so the set picks may change.
- SiteOptimizer: tidier item rows (the score above the source), team mode in one panel, «Reset» and «Equip in game» in their places; better on phones (bigger buttons, build cards no longer overlap); the pick recalculates by itself — the «Pick» button is left only for the team.
- Site«Sent to the app» is now a toast, and the button shows an icon with a cancel; cards no longer jump. The account switcher marks the account the app is on («in the app»).
- App 0.63Show in game for artifact promotion: the app leads you through Inventory → «Artifact» → the artifact → «Workshop» → «Promote» and shows which copy to pick; you press «Promote» yourself.
- App 0.63With auto click the app picks the copy for promotion itself; you press «Promote» (switched on from the site later).
- App 0.63«Equip in game» also swaps the hero’s artifact — from the optimizer (the «and artifact» box) and from the «Who should wear what» tab.
- App 0.63site announcements (e.g. about a server restart) show in the app and stay visible even while the site is unreachable; without a connection the app says so.
v140
- SiteGear: the sections are now tabs — «Gear», «Storage cleanup», «Ascension» and «Recast».
- SiteGear: the new «Ascension» tab shows the items you can ascend from T1 to T2 right now — who wears them, how much the main stat grows, the cost and whether you have enough. The item card has short «Can ascend» and «Can recast» links.
- SiteOptimizer: Ingrid’s «Hell’s Lament» no longer counts as up for most of the fight — on auto against a single boss she switches stance once, so «Infernal Roar» is usually better for her.
- SiteThe optimizer no longer breaks when the site updates while the page is open.
- SiteThe «Download» page is new: shorter, clearer and in the site’s style.
- SiteHeroes you have never levelled or equipped now show on the site (after the app update and a sync).
- SiteGear: the «Recast» tab shows the items worth recasting as compact cards.
- SiteGear: the «Ascension» tab shows all your ascension resources with the game’s icons.
- SiteThe «Ascension» and «Recast» cards have a «Show in game» button (works together with the app).
- SiteGear: the «Ascension» and «Recast» cards are more compact — four per row on a wide screen; long stat lines are no longer cut.
- SiteHeroes: download your hero list as a CSV file (opens in Excel and Google Sheets) — level, stars, power, stats and sets.
- SiteThe site no longer breaks when the browser translates the page.
- App 0.62Show in game (new): press the button on the site in the «Ascension» or «Recast» tab, and the app leads you through the game with frames, step by step. Ascension: Inventory → Foundry → «Ascension» tab → slot tab → filter → the item in the list; the frame follows the scrolling, and if the item is far down a long list the app first suggests the slot tab and the set filter. Recast: the item in the Inventory → «Gem upgrade» → the right recast function → a frame on «Upgrade». The app never presses «Ascend» or «Upgrade» itself.
- App 0.62Show in game: after «Ascend» or «Enhance» the app notices the job is done by itself, closes the hint and sends your data at once, so the item disappears from the site too.
- App 0.62Show in game with auto click: the app walks to the item by itself — for Ascension up to «Ascend», for Recast through «Gem upgrade» to the right recast; you press «Ascend» and «Enhance» yourself.
- App 0.62Frames on round and shaped buttons follow their shape; the cancel button over the game now matches the app’s style, and in storage cleanup it cancels the whole cleanup at once.
- App 0.62Storage cleanup without auto click: the app outlines the items to sell with frames in «Bulk sell»; you select them yourself.
- App 0.62Equipping: the app reliably recognises the open hero — after the Inventory or another hero, and when opened by a long press from a team screen; restarting the app is no longer needed.
- App 0.62On the first start the app shows a short welcome card with the Terms of Use; press «I accept» once.
- App 0.62Hints over the game are shown only while the game is open and in front, do not stay after you leave a screen, and a short hiccup no longer resets them to the first step.
- App 0.62Frames in lists (Inventory, «Bulk sell», Foundry) follow the scrolling exactly.
- App 0.62Auto click is more careful: the app checks the screen before every click and stops if something is off; in «Bulk sell» only the storage cleanup clicks.
- App 0.62New tasks from the site («Equip in game», storage cleanup, «Show in game») reach the app within seconds.
- App 0.62The settings folders are now named Wardsage, everything moves over by itself. The installer lets you choose right away whether the app starts with Windows and sends error reports.
v139
- SiteKo-fi is now on the «Support» page: you can support the project by card from any country.
v138
- SiteInitial rage, rage per basic attack and auto rage regen now show as plain numbers like in the game, not as percent. Rage regen in percent is its own line, «Rage Regen».
- SiteThe optimizer remembers the chosen hero: leave for Gear, for example, and come back to the same hero instead of the strongest one.
- SiteAdded the Terms of Use (the «Terms» link at the bottom of the page) and a contact address, contact@wardsage.com.
- SiteE-mails about the team’s replies on the forum now come in the language chosen on the site (they always came in Russian before).
v137
- SiteOptimizer: the «Team» mode now takes up to 10 heroes — the gear is shared between all of them, no item twice.
- SiteCommunity: Discord mentions and emoji show as «@name» and «:emoji:» instead of raw code.
- SiteGear: the «Level up / Keep / Remove» verdicts now explain themselves on hover, including how «Remove» differs from «Can be sold».
- SiteGear: locked substats (below +4, +8, +12, +16) now show as in the game — only the stat and «from +N», no value; scores and builds count a typical value for them.
- SiteOptimizer: under «What matters more» there is now a «Build for max power» link — the «Max power» goal is one click away, no advanced settings needed.
- SiteOptimizer: you can pick a required item — an exclusive one, for example: «Pick an item» under the hero opens a window with the items by slot, and the build is made around the chosen one; in Gear an item has a «Build around this item» button.
- SiteOptimizer: the «Simple / Advanced» switch is now at the top of the settings, and a required item can be picked in both modes; under an item in the slot comparison the actions are small icon buttons in one row (lock, not this one, pick another).
- SiteThe slot icons of the bracelet, amulet and ring are right now (they used to show a helmet, gloves and boots).
- SiteOptimizer: for heroes whose ultimate fires on deployment (Evie, for example) it now counts — both the ultimate itself and the sets triggered by an ultimate («Hell’s Lament», «The Wisdom», «Soulbound Arcana»); such heroes have an «I redeploy this hero» setting. «Cataclysm» now counts that its stacks build up after deployment, not at once.
- SiteOptimizer: faster attacks during an ultimate now count correctly — for Akira and Clarissa they used to count as slower attacks, and for Hex, Talin, Corven, Twyla, Rivenhald and Shelor they did not count at all; Jeera’s slower attacks during her ultimate count too.
- SiteOptimizer: for heroes whose damage depends on HP or DEF (Vlad Draculea, Malvira, Ghan, Trusk, for example) damage is now counted from those stats, and builds no longer pull them towards ATK. Their own HP and DEF boosts from talents count too (Vlad gets +3% HP per enemy blocked, for example).
- SiteTooltips on the site now follow the game style: short ones as a compact plate, explanations in the game frame; on a phone, by a long press.
- SiteOptimizer: the builds no longer depend on what the hero wears right now — the best builds are searched among all items alike. With «take gear from other heroes» on, the best items are taken (the owner’s loss is shown on the item; heroes can be excluded in the advanced settings), and «stronger» heroes are told apart by their power without gear.
- SiteWardsage stays free for everyone. If it has helped you, you can now support the project on the «Support» page (the button at the top): Tribute, Boosty or crypto, any amount, entirely voluntary.
- App 0.61the equip hints are more precise and have a new look — a gold frame lands exactly on the item, a plate shows the step, and when the item is off the list’s edge a gold strip shows where it is. With the game’s filter open the app first asks to close it, and for an item far down the list it suggests filtering by its set or main stat. The build’s hero is pointed at in the hero list, and if the wrong item is put on, the app says so.
- App 0.61if an update download drops, the app tries again by itself in 20 seconds.
v136
- SiteOptimizer: a sent build clears itself — when a sync shows the hero wearing it, or after a day if it was never put on.
- SiteOptimizer: for Kassandra the ultimate's damage and rage regen now count — her builds used to be rated as if she had no ultimate.
- SiteOptimizer: defenders that heal their allies (Draelyn, Meriel, Constance) are now rated in the «Balance» goal by healing and survivability half and half instead of damage and survivability, and the «Healing» goal is now offered for them.
- SiteGear: the «Status» filter has an «Exclusive» option — only hero-exclusive items (the ones with a crown).
- SiteIf the site was updated while a page was open, the page now reloads by itself instead of hanging on loading.
- SiteThe app version on the site is now shown as a beta: 0.59 instead of 1.6.59.
- App 0.60the boss hints panel is see-through, and you can move it out of the way — hold Ctrl and drag it with the mouse, and it stays there; Ctrl and a right click put it back. If you don’t need the panel, turn it off in the settings: «Boss hints».
- App 0.60the version number is shown as a beta — 0.60 instead of 1.6.60.
- App 0.60the buttons look the same as on the site; in the settings the language moved to the top, the sync code has a line of its own, and wherever the app asks for the code there is an «Enter the code» button.
- App 0.60the log is called wardsage.log, and account.json copies are saved to Documents\Wardsage.
v135
- SiteThe site is noticeably faster: sections open at once with a page outline, and a gold line on top shows that loading is in progress.
- SiteOptimizer: each item's enhancement is counted up to its own quality cap (+4, +8, +12 or +16), not +16 for all.
- SiteOptimizer: basic-attack set bonuses (“Infernal Roar”, “Greyfang”) account for how much of this hero's damage comes from basic attacks; crit-based sets are valued with the crit rate of the proposed build.
- SiteOptimizer: when the worn build is almost as good as the best one (under 1.5%), it stays — no more swaps for a fraction of a percent.
- SiteOptimizer: a build sent to the app waits to be equipped — its items are reserved for the hero and not offered to others, while “Now” shows what the hero wears in the game; the sending can be cancelled.
- SiteOptimizer: the “Never take from” list (heroes whose gear is never taken) can be turned off for a while with one “Use the list” switch, without removing the heroes from it.
- SiteGear: exclusive items carry a crown and show their hero; item cells show the set icon.
- SiteGear: the “Variant Mythic” filter includes ascended items too.
- SiteSubstat bars as in the game: the substats already revealed show their bar right away, not only at the top level; the item score still appears at the top level.
- SiteSigning out on another device takes effect within a minute; the chosen site language is kept more reliably.
- SiteThe site keeps anonymous visit statistics on its own server, with no cookies and no third-party services, to see which languages to add next. Details in the privacy policy.
- App 0.59Equip helper hints name the whole way — the hero, Gear, the slot, with the item highlighted.
- App 0.59after switching accounts or signing in to the game again, the data is sent correctly again.
- App 0.59fight recording, the Equip helper and “Find in game” work only with a linked sync code — if the app asks for one, issue it in the site settings and paste it into the app.
v134
- SiteGuild: after the game's daily reset the guild data was sometimes read incompletely — the guild page stopped updating, and in a few guilds some players were wrongly marked as left. Fixed; the players wrongly marked as left are back in their guilds, and the site no longer marks players as left from an incomplete list.
- App 0.58no longer sends an incomplete guild member list; if the list is not loaded yet, it asks you to open it in the game.
