The first major update after launch arrived on 27 August 2026, adding a co-op guild mode, three Cookies and a pet.
Three Cookies and a pet
- Brightseeker Cookie — TSSR Ranged. Its skill, Satellite Shock, summons drones that fire a beam at a single target and finish with an explosive blast. This one is in our database, though with no published damage values or cooldown.
- Pinot Noir Cookie — SSR Support. Fires shadowy projectiles that hinder enemy healing. Inven Global lists the element as Dark and the skill as Shadow Binding; the English outlets do not name it, so treat the skill name as single-source.
- Tea Knight Cookie — SSR Tank, exchanged for guild medals rather than pulled. Grants allies boss damage buffs, which is what the new mode rewards.
- Battery Mellow — an SSR pet that grants Rapid Fire synergy. That matters more than it sounds: only two cookies in the launch roster supply Rapid Fire, against twelve that want it.
The guild mode has three different names
Guild members fight a raid boss together and guilds are ranked by combined damage. English coverage calls it Guild Conquest; Inven Global calls it Guild Subjugation and other write-ups call it Guild Raid. We have seen all three used for what appears to be the same mode, the same way both "Plaque Tower" and another name circulate for one of the existing modes.
Inven Global also reports roughly 2,400 new main stages, reaching Stage 248-30, and a Breakthrough cap raised to 1,000. The other outlets we read did not mention stage counts.
What this means for our data
Of the three Cookies, only Brightseeker is in our database. Pinot Noir, Tea Knight and Battery Mellow are not, and neither is the new mode in our game modes guide. Our dataset still describes the launch roster as verified on 26 August 2026.
There was also a collaboration with the Korean chicken chain 60 Chicken, including an in-game boss event. The food-set half of it ran through Korean stores and delivery apps, so it was not something most players outside Korea could take part in.
