Squid Blade ability

Squid Blade is a popular melee weapon; the user wields two swords and uses them to fight off enemies. Currently, the weapon's ability works as follows:

Squid Blade makes the player invisible to monsters if the weapon and gadgets are not used for a few seconds. When an enemy is attacked while the player is invisible, the first strike does extra damage and is called the Ambush.

Squid Blade exploits

In rifts, a few Squid Blade users were teaming up to evade the mobs using the Invisibility. Afterward, they would take turns performing the Ambush attack to defeat the Bosses too quickly.

However, this technique only works if the entire team is equipped with Squid Blades. Thus, a minority of players were intentionally losing battles if their teammates were not using Squid Blades.

Squid Blade rework

It is not revealed how the weapon will be reworked, but the Squid Blade will lose the Invisibility ability. Some stats of the weapon will be buffed to keep it as a viable option.

Shard Hunter Pass with XP as reward (Image via Supercell)

In mo.co, when the Shard Hunt Pass is completed, players are granted looped rewards for collecting ten 10 Shards. One of these rewards is XP, which is used to level up our character.

As a result, players who were farming Chaos Shards were getting a significant advantage on the leaderboard. According to JoaoInTheNorth, this isn't the designed gameplay for mo.co.
