Illuvium: Arena Update 1.17.5
Patch Notes
- Date PublishedApr 23, 2026


This update delivers bug fixes, a balance patch and the temporary removal of Ascendant mode.
Gameplay & System Updates
Bug Fixing
- Fixed an issue in Leviathan mode where Illuvials were generating more energy from damage taken than intended. Illuvials now correctly gain 1 energy per 40 damage taken (previously, they were earning roughly double this amount). This fix should reduce excessive ability usage from units like Titanor and prevent unintended behavior such as Rhamphire’s “infernal trampoline"..
- Fixed an issue where certain cosmetic assets, including Drone Skin (GShock) and Battleboard Skin (Wave 5), were not displaying properly.
Balance Adjustments
This update focuses on addressing the dominance of specific synergies like Frost, Harbinger and Mud. And tunes down some well performing lines like Elk (Ador / Adoredo / Adorius), Penguin (SlaSlashin) and Mammoth (Mah'mu / Mah'th / Mah'mut).
As always, we’ll continue monitoring gameplay, collecting feedback, and making improvements where needed. Jump in, test out the changes, and let us know what you think.
See you on the battlefield.
