Dear Heroes and Heroines,

It has been a while since you fought the first World Boss. Like many of you, we see great potential in this event. We’ve gone through all your feedback and made many changes. Before you fight the next World Boss on 30.10. to 02.11.2025, we want to share these updates with you.

But first, who is the World Boss again?

The World Boss is huge, terrifying, and perhaps the greatest danger you have ever faced in Shakes & Fidget! All heroes and heroines of one world must unite to fight him. Build your catapult, choose your upgrades, and wisely pick the level you want to attack the World Boss. If you deal enough damage, you might defeat him outright or watch him retreat in fear after a few days. And remember, every heroic effort deserves a reward. Keep your eyes open for amazing loot!

How to participate?

During the event, a tower will stand in the town center. Click it to sign up for your fight against the World Boss. You can either switch the segment at which you want to attack the World Boss or enter Kaboom’s Workshop. Buy a catapult from Kaboom to deal even more damage. Set its duration with the slider, and it fights automatically with you. Kaboom also offers upgrades to make your catapult even more powerful.

What loot can I expect?

During the event, you can earn battle loot and boss rewards. Chests for Participation, Last-Hit, Single Biggest Damage, and Damage Master offer rewards like gold or resources.

World Boss Changes

General

• The event balancing has been reworked for better accessibility and fairness, including:

  • Reduced upgrade costs.

  • Rebalanced upgrades to have a greater impact at lower levels.

  • Special attacks can unlock earlier through upgrades.

  • War loot and boss bounty rewards adjusted to match reduced event costs.

Combat

• Town Banners have been removed, leading to several improvements:

  • Fight registration is free; you only need to enter the event in the city

  • Event costs are reduced, and gameplay is simplified

  • You can only earn as much loot as you can spend during the event

• The old registration bar now shows the catapult's duration.

• Attack and boss graphics have been redesigned to improve visuals. Attacks will be visualized, and an attack timer will indicate when a fight is imminent.

Catapult

• The duration will be flexible. You can choose between 4 and 10 hours using a slider.

• The catapult is now initially purchased with catalysts. The cost depends on the chosen duration.

Tooltip and Battle Log

• The next Worlboss update will introduce a huge battle log and tooltip, providing details including (but not limited to):

  • Damage per hour and timing of each attack

  • All received rewards

  • Critical and special attacks are now included and displayed

Leaderboard and Rewards

• Log Tab: A new log tab has been added to the leaderboard.

• Larger Brackets: The ranking brackets have been enlarged, so all players are always at least in a bracket with rewards.

• Battle loot and boss rewards have been slightly decreased.

• New and renamed rewards will be introduced:

  • Last-Hit → Kill-Stealer (renamed)

  • Damage Master → Single Hit (renamed)

  • Damage Master: Players with the highest total damage (new)

Please note, some wishes might remain unaddressed. Changes like the requested “auto-swap” conflict with the desire for active gameplay. Others are simply impossible to implement. For now, we will wait for the next Worldboss to arrive and see how the planned changes perform in practice.

We appreciate all your feedback and hope our planned changes meet your expectations for the next Worldboss.
