🔮 Battle Spheres (perk system)
Battle Spheres are back for another "season"! Every battle pet has a sphere of passive talents that fire on their own in battle. Your pet earns points from its stats, you spend them on a board, and reset is free.
Season 5 runs from today through November 11. The board has reset, so every pet starts fresh, and Season 4 builds are archived.
The big new system is called marks. With an affinity in your choices, your Hex leaves its element on the opponent, and hitting it with the right second element sets off a reaction. This should be fun to play around with! There are new achievements too, with three new name plates among the prizes.
Every number, every new tile, and the Season 4 fixes are in the full patch notes on the forums. Thanks to whyrl, Wesker, ColdDragon, Jigglypuff, and METROID for the ideas behind a lot of this season. That thread is still where I'm collecting feedback, so tell me what breaks (even if it means I have to nerf your favorite build)!
I promise if this seems too complicated, at the core it's just a set of bonuses that make your pet stronger, without you needing to do anything. There are other players in the forums who will tell you what build to make your pet to get the most free extra damage for your pets 💖

I love this & I love the new achievement popups. Apparently, I just need to be more obviously congratulated every once in a while.
-Update: Did Battle Quests and was pleased to find I could get to the 10 tier, and oh my lanta, that Achievement unlock screen is Amazing!
Whoa, and so many achievements too. This is all so very exciting, thank you for all the battle love!!!
I tried out the Berserk route in the sphere for some battling today (Just picking challengers not Battle Quests) and it was quite fun. Feels great to get that big 30% increase in damage when it procs. I was able to grind out some decent EXP 👍
I personally prefer a more defensive build when it comes to Battle Spheres; so, if anyone is confused, just choose anything that makes you dodge, get less damage or recover HP and I think you'll be fine 😅
I have to admit that I have no clue what to do with this. It sounds very complicated and difficult to figure out. Not that I can't do it, just that I don't really want to waste a lot of my time trying to figure it out. That sounds more like work than fun. Same problem I have with the Tiles game. I just play the game, I don't even bother with the trade case or request board, that's also too much work and not fun. I hope this helps people who understand it.

Wondering: Will the "easy/hard" mode choice on battle quests disappear when sphere season five is over? Will we get the hard (vampire, curser, et cet) option back throughout the battle coliseum in the future?
With everything going on, will we still see the Morostide special opponent gauntlet this year?

my favourite time of the season: just randomly clicking spheres that sound cool and calling it a day 🤓 excited to try out hard mode in BQs, though!! double exp will make that slog to t12 a little bit less daunting 😭
Heh, I was a casual battler for years, but kind of gave up when spheres entered, because it was just too much to process. Just you saying it's just a set of bonuses might make me try again (by hitting some random circles so I can get the title achievements). :P
(No beef against this system at all by the way, I can imagine battlers going wild over this kind of challenge!)

THANK YOU FOR HARD MODE IN BQS! I like the ideas for Hex, definitely gonna check this all out.

Now it would be even better if we can choose Hard mode as the default mode so we don't have to click the separate button each time. Pretty please? :D
