PBE has been updated! This post will contain all new assets added in patch 14.14. As a reminder everything here comes from the PBE (Public Beta Environment) server update and may be changed before the final release in the main client. Patches usually last 2 weeks (Patch release schedule can be found here). Below is the compilation of new content added in upcoming patch!

This will be a 3 week patch.

PBE Bug & Feedback Thread: Aurora (Base & Battle Bunny)

Aurora, the Witch between Worlds, is hopping across the veil and making her entrance to the Rift. She is available to play now on PBE so please try her out and leave any feedback, bugs, issues, and comments here in this thread.

Aurora’s launch skin is Battle Bunny and any thoughts on the art or visuals for both her base and launch skin are also appreciated.

She’ll be on PBE for a little longer than usual as Riot’s Summer Break will extend the current patch by a week, but she’ll be on live soon in 14.14! I’ll provide updates on things we’ve fixed / adjusted, etc. in this thread, but keep in mind we’ll be away for a week.

We’re still finishing up some bugfixing, but I wanted to call out that sometimes the R won’t immediately show up for enemies if they don’t have vision – that’s a bug that we’re planning on fixing in the next day or so.

Champion Skins

Battle Dove Seraphine

1820RP

Seraphine was Anima Squad’s comms officer, the “girl in the chair”—until she became the first Battle Dove, using her naturally sensitive hearing to operate a new AnimaTech suit that weaponizes sound waves to rock the battlefield! When she intercepts a strange distress call, Seraphine gets her first mission: find the source, and lead a team to the rescue.

Battle Dove Seraphine is a Legendary skin set to 1820 RP and should be available on PBE soon! Feel free to leave constructive feedback and bug reports you have down below!

Additionally, we wanted to share a heads up that while this PBE cycle is 3 weeks instead of 2, we will have the standard amount of dev time to address feedback due to Riot closing for a week. You can read more about that in years past here https://www.riotgames.com/en/news/were-taking-a-break-brb

Battle Bunny Aurora

1350RP

As Anima Squad’s sole research specialist, Aurora uses her understanding of the Primordians (and PhD in bioengineering) to translate and adapt Primordian technology. While her work has led to incredible advancements in Anima Squad’s equipment, her true passion is helping the world understand Primordians as she does.

PBE Bug & Feedback Thread: Aurora (Base & Battle Bunny)

Battle Bat Xayah

1350RP

Bat Squad’s edgy hotshot Xayah knows that sometimes you have to strike first and hard to make a statement. Hailing from an attempted settlement outside Final City that was destroyed, Xayah’s grudge against the Primordians is deeply personal. Between battles, she uses her stealth training to avoid Seraphine prying about who the guy she’s always texting is.

Primordian Rek’Sai

1350RP

Final City built its barricades high, protecting its citizens from countless Primordian threats. Rek’Sai laughs in the face of these obstructions—or at least mimics a laugh in the form of a loud, painful screech. Having evolved to tunnel beneath land,she is the ideal infiltrator, the first Primordian to lay eyes on Final City… but certainly not the last.

Primordian Bel’Veth

1350RP

The tide of war has turned, with Primordians scattered and Anima Squad idling safely in Final City. But deep below the tranquil sea, Bel’Veth plots. A creature of incredible intelligence, she grew used to living in Aatrox’s shadow, her masterful tactics less bombastic than his brute strength. Now her time has come to rise above the waters and strike.

Cyber Cat Yuumi

1350RP

When Jinx stumbled onto an old Primordian program, she couldn’t help but tinker with it, creating what would become the sentient digital cat behind the Anima Squad interface: Yuum.ai! Now inhabiting a shiny new hologram body, everyone’s favorite online helper, bug swatter, and demander of head pats can hop into battle alongside her allies. 2/2

Prestige Cyber Cat Yuumi

2000 event Tokens

Bringing your pampered pet as a plus one to A-list events is all the rage, but sometimes you don’t want to have to worry about cat hair. No problem, because this latest model of Cyber Cat Yuumi is here to prove that they call it a “catwalk” for a reason!

PBE Bugs and Feedback Thread: Swarm

Hello everyone! Riot Ducké here, QA Lead for Modes

Our new PVE mode – Swarm: Operation Anima Squad opens up today on PBE!

Brave the Swarm

Swarm is a bullet heaven survivor game set in the Anima Squad universe. In it, players will experience some of their favorite League champions in a completely new way. A chill, co-op PVE game mode, Swarm allows you and up to three friends to battle waves upon waves of Primordians and some terrifying bosses. Whether you’re victorious or swept away by the masses of Primordians, each run will grant you progress to power up and return to Final City stronger for another go.

Features:

Get a Move on: WASD controls are used to move your Champion around the maps
Queue up Solo or with friends!: SWARM can be played by yourself or with a party of up to 4 players
Explore Final City: 4 maps will be available for SWARM
Play more, Progress More: Unlock power ups, champions, maps and much more as you progress through SWARM.

——————–

Special message from H28_G_Evo, the Engineering Lead on Modes:

Performance is something we are extremely mindful of with Swarm. We want every player, no matter their hardware spec, to have a great experience playing Swarm and in order to do that we need as much data as possible during this PBE cycle. Please report any performance issues you have with as much information as possible.

We categorize performance issues as:

Average framerates below 30fps for noticeable periods of time.
Noticeable lags/stutters/lock ups occurring during gameplay (not during scripted sequences like transitions in boss fights)

Please include in your reports as much of the following as possible:

Game Resolution (1920*1080, 1024*768, etc)
Game Video Preset (Low, High, etc)
Hardware (CPU model, GPU model, Amount of System Memory)
Game Id (Can be found and copied by clicking on Game ID on the End of Game screen post your Swarm game)
Ping (in MS, rough average value)

Note on Ping: We have verified that Swarm plays best at under 100ms ping, if you have ping above 100ms you may run into issues, especially related to champion movement. We understand this is more of an issue with PBE than live, but wanted to make sure we set expectations for players.

——————–

We are specifically looking for feedback & issues encountered related to:

Champion and Weapon power. Do any Champions or Weapons feel particularly strong or weak?
Passives (Stats) Power: Do any Passives feel particularly strong or weak?
Waves: How does wave pacing feel on each map
Maps: Collision and pathfinding around the different maps
Any Desync issues you may experience (keep in mind Riot H28_G_Evo note on Ping above!)

Feedback is not just limited to the above! Please let us know if you have any other feedback about the mode or if you experience any bugs!

See you in Final City!
