Brawl of the Wild Questline

The “Brawl of the Wild” Questline is back, giving you another chance to head into the wilds and help Homebase adapt to the Wildlife roaming the world. Along the way, you’ll earn Gold and Spring Tickets, and by completing the full Questline you’ll unlock Gia - an Outlander Hero who thrives alongside tamed Wildlife, forming a bond that lets them support each other in battle.

Standard Perk: Vital Bond

Heroes heal their tamed Wildlife for 15% of damage dealt.

Commander Perk: Vital Bond+

Heroes heal their tamed Wildlife for 15% of damage dealt. Tamed Wildlife heal the player for 30% of damage dealt.

Note: The ”Wolf Snack” Quest to feed Wildlife has been auto-completed. You’ll receive its rewards after completing the Questline.

The Save the World Dev Team

Following today’s update, the graphics quality on iPad Pro has been surprisingly improved, with the “hidden” addition of SAO environmental occlusion, which makes the game visually closer to the console version. I attach some screens of the visual rendering with the maximum settings, where it may be possible to notice these improvements.
