Hello Vikings!
Today’s mainnet patch brings targeted balance changes to two of our top-performing Veras, Bigghaer and Skaerrot, alongside a solid round of fixes and quality-of-life improvements across the board.
We have also made further updates to the Gauntlet and Surge systems, including fixing exploits and a clan points reset to ensure a fair playing field. From better private key handling to visual polish and smoother combat flow, we are continuing to improve every corner of the Valhalla experience.
Let’s take a look! ⚔️
Bigghaer and Skaerrot Changes
We’ve made some targeted data-driven adjustments to Bigghaer and Skaerrot. These changes are intended to balance their performance and utility to bring them more in line with other Veras.
Bigghaer
Spirit Shroud – Now Exhausts Bigghaer upon casting, making its next turn less effective. Charge cost has been adjusted to 35 (was 40). Storm Surge – Storm Surge now costs 20 charge (was 30) and its ability power has been increased to 55 (was 45).
Skaerrot
Carrot Rain – The targeting pattern has been changed. Instead of affecting a full circle of tiles, it now uses an AoE selection similar to Hushroom’s Spore Bomb.
Gauntlet Surges and Clan Points Reset
We resolved an issue where players could gain extra gauntlet attempts by leaving and rejoining a clan, as well as an exploit that allowed clans to trigger more than the intended three surges per week. Because these exploits may have given some clans an unintended advantage, all clan points will be reset and a new clan season will start at 00.15 UTC on 11-08-2025. We will continue monitoring for similar bugs and investigating players who attempt to abuse them.
You can now also view your clan’s remaining surges for the week in the Clan Activity tab.
Other Updates & Fixes
Along with numerous bug fixes and minor improvements, here are the most notable changes:
Floki Logo – When launching Valhalla, you'll now be greeted by the Floki logo instead of the default Unity splash screen. A small change with big vibes.
Amulet Enchantment Bug – Fixed an issue where the UI incorrectly showed the Wisdom stat being buffed by an amulet enchantment, while in reality the Intellect stat was receiving the effect.
Build Caching Issue– The game build previously grown too large to be cached properly, causing players to redownload it repeatedly. This issue has been resolved, and the build should now cache correctly.
Private Key and BNB Withdrawal– You have been able to export your Play Account’s private key from the Account page. Now, you can also import it directly during the new account flow. This makes it easier to back up your key and log into your Play Account from a new browser or device. In addition, you can transfer any remaining funds from your Play Account back to your Main Account directly through the game.
Combat – Waiting for Opponent– The loading popup that appeared while waiting for your opponent used to block the screen, preventing you from viewing the battlefield. It has now been redesigned, allowing you to see the current combat state even after submitting your actions.
Combat – Vera Targeting Bug– Fixed an issue with Vera-targeted abilities like Homing Carrot and Spirit Shroud, as well as amulet interactions. These abilities should now consistently allow proper targeting of enemies.
Character Selection – Missing Ships– Resolved a bug where a character’s ship would not appear on the character selection screen.
Stashing Ships – Added a message explaining why a ship cannot be moved to your stash while it is being built or upgraded.
Tutorial Shop – Fixed visual display issues with the shop during the tutorial.
Bank– We fixed visual glitches that occurred when claiming rewards from an unlocked vault. In addition, bank milestone thresholds and rewards have been rebalanced to focus on long-term growth. Milestones now exclusively increase your vault’s interest rates for future deposits, rather than also granting Runix or Onyx upfront.
While we've done our best to catch all the bugs, it's possible that a few might have slipped through. We have faith in our Vikings to help us identify and report any issues they come across. Don't hesitate to communicate with us about any problems or bugs you encounter through our community's Discord: https://discord.gg/NJXccsQSfg
Until next patch!
