Rivals patch 1.6.0

The June patch brought races, commander skins and changed cloning labs, bounty rewards, unit balance and unit unlock order.

Rivals Race
In Rivals Race, small groups of players form their own Race leaderboard. All players on a leaderboard will start with a similar medal count. At the end of the Race, the top players with the highest medal counts will win unique vanity rewards.

Cloning Lab
Cloning Chambers will take a certain amount of time. Select a unit to clone and after a specified amount of time has elapsed your Cloning Chamber will be ready, even if you’ve played no battles. Playing battles will decrease the amount of time remaining on your Cloning Chamber, speeding up the process so you get the new cards sooner.

Commander Skins
From the main landing page to the loading screen, your Commander is visible not just to you but also to your rivals. With this update, we introduced Commander skins. These skins will change the look of your Commander in all the usual locations – landing page, army loadout, loading screen and during the battle.

Bounty Reward
Replaced the reward for completing five bounties with 2,500 credits (previously rewarded 1 Rare crate).

Kodiak

 * Kodiak is now able to use its side cannons without having to point its primary cannon at another unit.

The Kodiak struggled to fully utilize its intended functionality. This should put some ease on the player and allow for the Kodiak to be more versatile in combat.
