New Heroes
Introducing two new additions to the Smash Heroes roster!
PUG
Type: Melee | Difficulty: ●●○○ | Cost: 25,000
Don’t get fooled by this puppy’s cuteness! The last thing Pug wants is a belly rub!
Shoop
Type: Ranged | Difficulty: ●●●○ | Cost: 150,000 | Requires Lv150
Shoop is capable of emitting light from his oral cavity through a process of optical amplification based on the stimulated emission of electromagnetic radiation. In other words... HE CAN SHOOT LASERS OUT OF HIS MOUTH!

Hero & General Tweaks Changelog
General Changes
- Added a green arrow indicator above friendly summoned pets (Spooders, Chickens, etc.) so that it is easier to know which ones are friendly and which ones are enemies.
- Added a lobby announcement when unlocking a Prestige level on a Hero, allowing players to decide when and where the announcement happens.
- Removed the lobby announcement for reaching Lv20 on a Hero due to the change above. Master Skin unlock announcements remain unchanged and work similar to the prestige one.
- You can now preview a Hero's Master Skin from the Prestige menu. Right-clicking the Master Skin icon on the right will cause the hero NPC to wear it for 10 seconds.
- Added Smash Heroes to the stats viewer (/stats).
NOTE: We are aware of the Leaderboards not updating properly. We are working on a fix.
Hero & Balance Changes
General Cluck
- Increased the explosion radius of the Bazooka's rockets.
Cake Monster
- Added a new component to Regurgicake. For each successful cake hit on an enemy, you will take 5% less damage, for a maximum of 30%. Lasts 3 seconds.
- Fixed a bug where Defecake's explosion radius was smaller than intended.
- Defecake hits will now also reset Swing Pin's cooldown.
Botmon
- Added a new component to Botclaw. While travelling down the line, Botmon will now automatically drop a limited number of bombs that deal a minor amount of damage.
Karakot
- Reduced the duration of True Power to 12 seconds.
Tinman
- Slightly increased Rocket Punch's damage.
- Slightly increased Rocket Punch's travelling speed.
Spooderman
- Changed Spooderman back to being classified as a HYBRID to better match his new playstyle due to the previous patch's changes to Web Shot. This allows successful Web Shot hits to once again reduce the cooldown of Spooder Buddies.
Void Crawler
- Further reduced the damage Shadow Fury deals when hitting the same target more than once.
Marauder
- Increased the duration of Unleashed Energy to 15 seconds.
Who are you looking forward to playing most? Pug or Shoop? Let us know in a reply!
New Arcade Game - Hypixel Says
Hypixel Says is very much similar to the “Simon Says” game, which our Pocket Edition players are already familiar with, and also to the Holiday exclusive “Santa Says” game from the Arcade lobby which it replaced.
The goal of the game is to do what Hypixel instructs you to do. But make sure not to take too long to do that - not only do you only have a short amount of time for each task, you also get bonus points for being first in some instructions!
With Hypixel Says, the instructions have been completely redone - this new game features over fifty unique instructions, such as:
- Ride a pig off a cliff
- Throw a diamond at a player
- Get yourself back to full health
- Look at a player’s head
- Climb to the middle (parkour)
- Spin around in a full circle
- Cure the Zombie Villager
- Bounce as high as you can
- Punch the most tall grass
- Grow a tree
- Don't get killed by the TNT
- Remove the Poison effect
- Build an Iron Golem
- Shoot yourself with an arrow
Do you have what it takes to complete all 15 instructions before other players to get the highest score? Find out by hopping on to the Arcade lobby and joining Hypixel Says.
The Third Watchdog Banwave has Occured
The Third Banwave has been Executed
1,198 rulebreakers have received bans with immediate effects.
The Next Banwave will take place in ~24 hours.
We will no longer make front page posts regarding banwaves. However they will still occur ingame.

Please act now and remove any blacklisted mods.
"Anything which alters how your client sends data to the server is a blacklisted modification."
For a list of modifications we believe are safe to use, consult this thread. Any other modifications are used at your own risk. We will add to the thread over time.

Like the previous banwave, this is only aimed at extreme cases. Many more cases of rule breaking have been identified, but we are being lenient to allow users time to modify their mods. After this banwave, Watchdog will widen it's searches; however the banwaves still remain constant.
Please see our previous frontpage posts about Watchdog for more information. This is the final announcement regarding banwaves, they will now happen entirely ingame.
One important thing to add today, if you EVER had a hack client on. Even on other servers or your own single player world - we recommend a complete reinstall of your .minecraft folder. Some hack clients leave altered code in the minecraft folder even after you remove them.

Please see our previous frontpage posts about Watchdog for more information. We are likely only going to frontpage this one more time before we commence doing banwaves without announcements.

The First Banwave has arrived. Watchdog is now live!
Watchdog Cheat Detection is now Active
It is now analyzing users of blacklisted mods / hack clients.
Users confirmed to be breaking the rules are being queued for banwaves.
The first banwave has been executed
852 rulebreakers have received bans with immediate effect. It only took watchdog a few hours to catch these users.
The Next Banwave will take place in ~24 hours.
Banwaves will be manually triggered until we enable "Auto Pilot" mode. We aim to trigger these every 24 hours.
For this banwave, we only targeted the most extreme users of blacklisted modifications / hack clients. Watchdog has infact detected many more than 852 users - however we are still giving them time to adjust their clients, just in case they are unaware they are breaking rules.
As the community is becoming more and more aware of Watchdog Cheat detection, we will widen the banwaves to target more cheaters.
Watchdog is now actively feeding us names of people in breach of the rules, and preparing the next banwave. The next banwave will be in approximately 24 hours.
For the intial few banwaves of Watchdog, we target the most extreme rulebreakers
Please act now and remove any blacklisted mods.

An important note for users who have modified their registry settings with a tool like regedit or similar.
Watchdog has now been configured to identify users who modified registry and this alone should no longer result in you being banned. However you may still be kicked if you send too many packets at once.
However, users who have used regedit AND use blacklisted mods are actually showing up even easier. Our recommendation remains to undo these settings. Proceed at your own risk, even though you should be safe now. We provide no promises.
It has begun.
