Overview
- Shadow is confirmed for April 27 as a free update, with Nintendo noting availability on Switch and Switch 2.
- It adds two playable characters: the Tunneller, whose shots wrap around the screen, and the Tiptoer, who stays undetected up close but has lower health and damage.
- Players get 11 new balls and evolutions, including Venom for stacking slows and paralysis, Time and Timestop for freezes, Warp for random teleports, Sniper for piercing shots, Erosion for percent‑based damage, and Time Bomb for delayed blasts.
- Four new passives expand build choices, including Full Metal Rapier that scales damage with on‑screen chaos, Arrow of Fate that turns hits into baby balls, Argent Stopwatch that front‑loads damage, and Sword Breaker that grows with enemy count.
- The new Guildhall building lets players re‑roll chosen upgrades in the city builder, positioning Shadow as the midpoint between January’s Regal update and a third drop expected in July.
