:alarm_clock: [Update Time]
07:00–07:30 on July 20, 2026 (UTC)

:sunny: [Major Season Update]
:ear_of_rice: 1. Added a [Season Redemption] feature:
● This feature is permanently available after the server enters the competition period of any season for the first time. The feature page can be accessed by tapping Mutation Pool > Season Redemption, or tapping the entrance at the bottom right of the Season Hatch interface during the season.
● When the number of a designated Special Ant plus its shells exceeds 6, you can consume 2 of such extra shells to redeem for 1 Season Fantasy Egg.
● Currently, the shells of the following Special Ants can be used for redemption: Umber Knight, Sickle Jaw, and Ladybug Ant.
:ear_of_rice: 2. Adjustments for all seasons:
● Optimized the process of building Alliance Towers during the season: Alliance R4 and R5 members can now quickly select and build Alliance Towers directly on eligible empty spaces on the map.
● Optimized the resource consumption rules for healing Soldier Ants during the season: when the amount of a resource used to heal Soldier Ants during the current season reaches a specific amount, the cost of subsequent healing with that resource will be reduced by a percentage (each resource type is calculated independently).
● The Season Saving’s resource return percentage for resources consumed to heal Soldier Ants is now unified across all seasons: after a season ends, 80% of the resources consumed for healing Soldier Ants during that season will be returned.
:ear_of_rice: 3. S2X - Mutated Barren beta season personal achievement adjustments:
● Removed the [Destroyed Durability] series of achievement tasks.
