Skills

Turbo Stampede

Passive: 

​Lightning McQueen gains, each second, a certain amount of “Miles” for every Movement Speed he has. Each “Mile” increases all his Normal Damage skills by a percent, and he can hold up to a maximum amount of “Miles”.

Active: 

McQueen revs his engine, startling a tractor to rush across the battlefield, dealing Normal Damage and Knocking Back all enemies hit. For each KO’d ally, an additional tractor appears.

“Miles” cannot be Copied, Stolen, or Removed and reset between waves.

+Normal Damage

 

Lightning Stance

Lightning McQueen strikes a dramatic pose, targeting the “Most Wanted” enemy:

When McQueen Movement Speed is lower than his opponent, he gains a percent of Movement Speed and Momentum stacks.

When McQueen Movement Speed is higher, he deals Normal Damage and Charms the enemy for a few seconds.

When McQueen Movement Speed is equal to the opponent, he deals True Damage, applies Fatigue stacks, and Stuns the enemy for a few seconds.

+Normal Damage +True Damage

 

Wheel Tease

Lightning McQueen accelerates in place, becoming Invincible while doing so and gaining a percent of Movement Speed. Any enemies who attempt to damage McQueen during this time take Normal Damage. If McQueen is already at maximum Movement Speed, he instead gains Overload and ignores a percent of enemy Damage Reduction for a few seconds.

While Overloaded by this skill, McQueen has his Skill Levels increased by a certain amount.

+Normal Damage

 

Radiator Route

Upon reaching certain “Miles” Lightning McQueen provides specific buffs:

1st Milestone “Miles”: McQueen gains Energize and Precise until the end of the wave.

2nd Milestone “Miles”: McQueen gains Normal Crit and Crit Damage until the end of the wave.

3rd Milestone “Miles”: McQueen’s Basic Attacks deal an additional Normal Damage against enemies with a Movement Speed Debuff.

While Energized by this skill, McQueen gains extra Energy each time he Basic Attacks.

+Normal Damage

 

Rust-eze Boost

When McQueen is about to be KO’d, he prevents it by gaining Berserk, and losing some Miles per second until he reaches 0 Miles. Once he reaches 0, he is KO’d. During this time, McQueen cannot gain additional Miles.

“Turbo Stampede” now grants Pierce and Drain for a few seconds. Additionally, each tractor reduces enemies’ Armor by a percent for a few seconds.

Enemies who attack McQueen during “Wheel Tease” have their Movement Speed reduced by a percent for a few seconds.

Skills

Whirl Piglet

Passive: 

Whenever an ally receives a Stat Decrease, Piglet converts a percent of it into the opposite Stat Increase for a few seconds.

If the ally already has a stronger version of that Stat Increase by a Piglet conversion, Piglet instead grants them a Shield for a few seconds.

Active:

Piglet takes a full spoon of fish oil and suddenly starts spinning wildly like a tornado, sending gusts of wind in all directions, increasing all allies Basic Damage and Skill Power by a percent for a few seconds.

If Piglet converted Stat Decreases into Stat Increases in the last few seconds, Piglet also applies a Heal over Time that Heals some HP per second for a few seconds.

+HP Shield

 

Balloon Boing

Piglet bounces up and down on a big red balloon that pops in a big explosion, dealing Normal Damage to all enemies and decreasing their Basic Damage and Skill Power by a percent for a few seconds and granting them Fatigue Stacks.

If the enemy gains any Stat Increases in the next few seconds, Piglet decreases that enemy Normal Crit and Fantastic Crit by a percent for a few seconds.

+Normal Damage

 

Memory Glow

Piglet flips through his memory scrapbook as glowing illustrations float upward, Healing himself and all allies for some HP and Cleansing them.

Piglet also increases all allies Armor and Reality by a percent for a few seconds.

If an ally remains affected by debuffs after the Cleanse, Piglet grants that ally Endurance Stacks.

+HP

 

Cozy Wrap

A percent of each Stat Decrease Piglet applied will be permanent on the “Most Wanted” enemy.

When an ally's HP falls below a percent of their Max HP, a percent of any Stat Increase conversion granted to that ally will be permanent. This effect can only happen once every few seconds.

Whenever Piglet HP falls below a percent of his Max HP, he becomes Untargetable for a few seconds. This effect can only happen a certain number of times per wave.

The Stat Decrease effect has a chance to fail against enemies above a certain level.

+Level

 

Brave Piglet

Everytime a Stat Decrease cannot be converted to a Stat Increase by Piglet, the target ally gets Invincible for a few seconds. This effect can only happen once every few seconds per ally.

“Whirl Piglet” Passive effects now last for a few seconds longer and also grant Tenacity for a few seconds.

“Balloon Boing” also decreases enemies Attack Speed and Movement Speed by a percent for a few seconds.

The Holiday Season is here!

A blanket of snow is rolling toward the City, and with it comes a full season of festive fun! Beginning December 12th, the Wintery Weekend Challenge Trials return—four fresh Trials spread across the month and into January, each offering a stack of chilly challenges and cozy rewards.

Midway through the month, an unexpected visitor arrives… Darwin’s Limited-Time Crate makes its debut on December 18th! Keep an eye out as this frosty experiment from G-Force slips into the lineup!

Then, the celebration truly gets underway on December 22nd as the 12 Days of Giveaway begins—daily gifts for every player as we countdown to the new year. And speaking of gifts: December 24th brings the mischievous Bah! Humbug Trials, leading straight into the special New Year Trial on December 31st to close out 2025 with a bang.

But don’t warm up too quickly—the coldest challenge arrives after the calendar flips. On January 5th, the Stay Frosty Invasion storms into the City, bringing icy foes, cool rewards, and one last winter showdown before the snow melts.

All month long, you can also look forward to rotating boosts: Double Drops, Bonus Buys, market deals, crate discounts, and more to keep your squad energized and ready for every event on the horizon.

Winter arrives soon… prepare your teams, bundle up, and get ready for a season of surprises!
