Hello Vikings!
This patch is a big one. We are celebrating the BNB 5-Year Anniversary with exclusive rewards like the BNB Helmitar and the rare Floki Tier Necklace. On top of that, combat has received a major round of revisions, reshaping defenses, crits, vitality, potions, and even collision rules to make every battle feel sharper and more strategic. To help you adapt, a brand-new item, Rumnesia, will let you Respec your Veras and try out fresh builds.
Take a look! ⚔️
BNB Anniversary Rewards
As part of the BNB 5-Year Anniversary celebrations, participating Vikings will soon find their rewards waiting in the stash. These can then be transferred to your inventory and equipped or activated.
- BNB Helmitar – All players who completed the BNB Anniversary challenges will receive this brand-new premium fashion item. Once transferred from your stash, it can be equipped on your character to show off your achievement.
- Floki Tier Necklace – In addition, a group of lucky raffle winners will receive this rare jewel infused with the essence of Floki. Once transferred from your stash, it can be used in the new Floki Tier inventory tab. Each necklace grants the benefits of a Floki Tier for an entire month.

Combat Revisions
We have made several adjustments to improve the flow, balance, and outcomes of battles:
- Defense Calculation – Defenses are now based on more than just the main stat. For example, when defending against physical damage, Intellect and Charisma also contribute to the calculation, though not as much as Strength.
- Dexterity Nerf – Crit chance and crit power have been slightly nerfed, with the biggest reduction at the very high end of the stat distribution.
- Status Effects and Crits – Status effects (currently only poison) can no longer crit. Only direct ability impact damage can crit, which now applies only to Flindorr’s Poisonous Pollen and Hushroom’s Spore Bomb.
- Vitality Buff – The Vitality stat has been slightly increased. On average, Veras now have around 4.5k HP instead of 4.2k at level 50, and Vitality scales a bit higher overall.
- Damage Output Reduction – We tweaked the damage formula, and as a result overall damage output has been slightly reduced across the board.
- Potion Limit Increase – The maximum number of potions you can carry into and use during battles has been increased by 2 (now 5 in 3v3 and 3 in 1v1).
- Collision Rule Change – When two Veras collide, the one with the current lowest HP will now hold the tile, replacing the old rule where the Vera with the highest Strength prevailed. Think of it as the most tenacious, clinging to life and refusing to budge. If both Veras have the same HP, the system falls back to the higher Strength, and if still tied, the higher value in the other stats.
The goal of these changes is to keep battles feeling like a strategic back-and-forth, rather than sudden knockouts where the first hit decides the outcome. These adjustments still reward building high stats and using the right damage types, but now in a more balanced and stable way.
Rumnesia – Vera Stat Respec Item
With these recent combat adjustments, buffs, and nerfs, we know some of you may want to rethink how your Veras are built. To make that possible, we are introducing a new item: Rumnesia.
Using Rumnesia on a Vera from your inventory will allow you to reallocate all of its stat points the next time you visit the Combat Hub.
Every player will receive a few, based on their Floki Tier:
- Floki Tier 0 – 2 Rumnesia
- Floki Tier Bronze and Silver – 3 Rumnesia
- Floki Tier Gold and above – 4 Rumnesia
The item will be automatically delivered to the first character you log into within a linked account. There is no other way to get that item for the time being and it is soulbound.
Additional Updates and Fixes
- Fixed several bugs where certain battle actions were ignored or arsenal settings failed to apply correctly.
- In all game modes, if you disconnect and fail to submit actions for your Vera (including skipping a turn), your actions will now be replaced by AI actions. After five consecutive timeouts, your side will automatically surrender.
That's all for today! 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 time!
