Brief summary of Update 5

Update 5 added the Athenyx Realm to the game (Image via Roblox)

Update 5 was one of the biggest that the game has seen. It added a whole new area to the game with its own Battlepass as well as challenges and quests. On top of that, the Athenyx's Realm also has special units that will help you defeat the boss and work your way around the area.

However, you must also have some of the special realm-specific items if you wish to bring the Athenyx units back with you to the regular game. Thankfully, this item can be collected via the Battlepass or by completing the challenges. You can also collect a special item called the Limit Breaker which allows you to increase the level cap of your units by 10.
