Version 1.0.41+: The Mount & Crocodile Nest Update
Expected Release: (May 9 - May 10, 2026)
To be completely transparent with our community, our target release date is May 9th. However, as Smith Legend now supports both Android and iOS, every update must pass through the respective store approval processes. To ensure perfect cross-platform synchronization, this process can sometimes take a bit longer than usual. If any delays occur outside of our control, the update will be live no later than May 11th.
The Mount System & New "Thorn" Stats
Mounts are finally arriving! Similar to the Wing system, Mounts can be enhanced to level up and will provide you with min 1 - max 3 powerful stats to boost your build.
A Shift in Plans: Thorn Damage vs. Skill Resistance We originally announced that this update would introduce "Skill Resistance." However, during our internal testing, we found that it created significant balance issues. We want to ensure a healthy meta, so Skill Resistance will remain in the testing phase for a bit longer.
Instead, we are thrilled to introduce two brand-new stats: Physical Thorn Damage and Skill Thorn Damage.
-
Example: If you have a Mount with Skill Thorn Damage during PvP, a percentage of every skill attack your opponent lands on you will be reflected right back at them as damage!
Possible Mount Stats: When rolling stats for your Mount, you can obtain the following:
-
Attack Speed
-
Crit Damage
-
Skill Damage
-
Luck
-
Armor
-
Block Chance
-
Physical Damage Bonus
-
Thorn Physical Damage
-
Thorn Skill Damage
Combat & Item Balancing: The Physical Buff
There are NO nerfs to any stat bonuses in this update. Instead, we noticed that Physical damage builds were slightly underperforming compared to other strategies. To bridge this gap, newly crafted items will now roll with significantly higher physical-based stats. You can expect a 25% to 40% increase on stats like Physical Damage Bonus and Crit Damage on your fresh crafts.
New Individual Event: Crocodile Nest
