Embrace the blocks!

This creative overhaul offers fans a unique chance to see Blood Strike in a whole new light. Loot piles contain Shard Buffs, Gold/Evolution Points, and rare items like Shadow Pearls—inspired by familiar classics—making it worth exploring what this mode has to offer.

The Shard Store may spark debate, as it allows direct in-game loot spending on supplies. However, with powerful new tools like Shadow Pearls, Portals, and Airdrops, it's exciting to see how these changes will reshape competitive dynamics in Blood Strike.
