New in Tools: Player Compare puts two players side by side in an animated vertical scene, with a radar of their power and a head to head part by part.

Find players your way: search by state number, by name, or both. With a state, a strip shows its leader in each stat as a starting point. Every player carries the date of their reading.

Two slots, quick to fill: the plus button fills slot A, then B. Switch trades their sides in one tap, Me adds your own latest card, and if the player you want is not listed yet, you can upload their card.

Decided by Effective Power: each player's Structures count up to the cap of their HQ level (the Headquarters included), plus Tech, Heroes and Tank. Troops do not count, and total power stays visible as reference. Tap What is Effective Power? and step through HQ levels to see the cap building by building.

Six themes, ready to share: Versus, Vice Sunset, Synthwave, Arcade, Wasteland and Break Intro, the looks of our live stream. Share sends a link that opens the same comparison, and Image exports a 1080 by 1920 picture for Shorts, Reels or your alliance chat. A Share button also sits at the top of every page.

Player cards for members: sign in to upload a player's Profile and Details screenshots. They are read in your browser, you review every value (all fields are required except alliance) and choose who sees the card. Cards are unofficial and never enter rankings. More in the guide.

Community guides on Discord: #community-guides in the HΞXHQ Discord collects guides written by players, sorted by category and language. Any Discord account at least 30 days old gets the Guide Author role on its own; Check my eligibility on the pinned post tells you where you stand. Everyone can read and reply.

Keeping guides useful: use Report guide from the message menu when a guide breaks the rules. Moderators review every report and never share who sent it. If a decision about your guide seems wrong, tell us through feedback. Guide actions about you are included when you download your data.

The migration on one page: Migration Live shows the same views as our 24/7 migration stream. The migration recap with slots filled per tier, the Top 20 players by Effective Power and who already moved, and the open slots in every state.

Your group, your pace: pick your group at the top, page through the lists with the arrows and check the capture time next to each view. On a phone, every view also comes as a simple list below the board.

Round 1 on the stream: our 24/7 migration stream now has a State Ruler view with every Round 1 matchup of 193-256, group by group, with each state's stars and the battle date.

Predict from your phone: scan the QR on screen to open State Ruler and make your picks before they close. The view stays on the stream until the battle starts.

A theater at the top of HΞX TV: when HΞXHQ goes live, the theater opens by itself on HΞX TV, with velvet curtains and a stage for the stream. The rest of the time, tap the Open theater ticket and it opens for you. Close it whenever you like and the regular board is right below, exactly as before.

Programs on the marquee: pick Streams, HΞXHQ Shorts, Creators or any category from the marquee above the stage. Shorts play on a film strip that you slide frame by frame, and when you press play the house lights dim so the screen takes center stage.

Snack service while you watch: popcorn, soda and chocolate travel along a small belt to your tray as the video plays. One tap on the tray and an usher walks in to bring it to you. It is simply part of the theater.

Members see every category: with your free account the theater includes every category on HΞX TV. Without an account you still get the live streams, past streams and HΞXHQ Shorts.

Your bell, now with your tools: earlier today the notification bell for members gained a row with the tools you use most, and the new gold bell stays discreet when there is nothing new. Everything you need, one tap away.

We made it too hard: the first version of private rooms asked you to leave Discord, create an account, link it and walk through a wizard on the site. We overcomplicated it without meaning to, and we heard you. Rooms are back, much simpler.

Now everything happens in Discord: join our server at discord.gg/QjMxzhxqfJ, type /room and the bot guides you step by step. If you're missing something, it tells you exactly what and how long. If you're ready, it asks for your tag and room name, shows you the rules and creates your room with chat, voice and a guides forum that only your people see.

Sharing is one click: right click a member, then Apps, then Invite to my room. They get a message with Accept and Decline, so nobody joins a room they didn't want.

Running your room: type /room and use the buttons: Invite, Transfer, Moderator (up to two), Demote and Remove. You pick the member from a list, no typing needed. Members can leave with Leave. Owners and moderators find the full guide with the Guide button in /room.

How to get room time: boost the server and your room lasts as long as your boost. Link your hexhq.blog account to Discord and reach VIP 5 for 15 days, and every VIP level after that adds 15 more. VIP grows with your daily visits, predictions and comments on the site.

All the details: requirements, commands and everything linking your account adds are on the private rooms page.

Easier to bring your people in: soon a room owner will invite members by name right from private rooms, and each person accepts the invitation with one tap. No more steps to figure out on your own.

Your room keeps going: rooms already created work as always in Discord, with their chat, voice and guides, and everyone in them keeps their access.

While we finish it: creating new rooms and joining by link take a short break so the new invitations arrive polished. We'll share here the moment they're ready.

Sign in with Discord is here: on the sign in page, use Continue with Discord and you're in.

Why sign in with Discord: one tap and no email link to wait for. If your Discord uses the same verified email as your HΞXHQ account, it opens that same account. If not, we ask before creating a new one, so nobody ends up with two. Already have an account with another email? Just link Discord in My profile, Account.

You decide what to share: once Discord is linked, Discord options let you choose whether to use your Discord avatar and whether members see your Discord username on your player card. Both stay off until you turn them on. If you share it, members tap the Discord tile to see and copy it; otherwise nothing is shown.

Private rooms: your own space in the HΞXHQ Discord with chat, voice and a guides forum that only your people see. Everything is on the private rooms page. The first requirement to enjoy this benefit is having Discord linked in your profile.

How to get a room and room time: VIP 5 gives you 15 days once, each new VIP level adds 15 more once, and each day you boost the server adds a day. A bell notice tells you when you reach VIP 5. You own one room, can join any room you're invited to and can pass your room to another member. To keep it longer, visit every day, predict in our prediction events, comment and share videos on HΞX TV. Details in the guide.

Smaller improvements: the sign in page checks your email (a domain that can't receive mail, typo suggestions like gmial.com and a notice if the email bounced), My profile keeps the same size on every tab, and the new card style preview has arrows to browse styles.

A new ranking: the race to 1G now has its own page in Rankings. It follows the 10 strongest accounts in Last Z and updates every night right after the 10 PM (AST) reset.

See what changed: next to each account's power you now see how much it grew or dropped since the previous reading, and the same for every stat: heroes, structure, tech, vehicles, troops and mastery. The header says the date of the reading it compares against.

Every night on YouTube: each night a Short shows who grew the most that day and closes with a poll on who will grow the most the next day.

New wizard: pick a style, write your text, set its size and bold if you like, and the bio is copied for you, with a reminder of where to paste it in the game. Before you finish, add more text with its own style, next to the first one or on the second line. Every bio you finish is saved automatically in this browser.

Simpler to start: the editor opens with the preview and big buttons; the code and the color tools show up only when you tap Show code.

Fits your phone: the gradient window keeps Insert on screen, and the text fields no longer zoom the page on iPhone. Try it in the Bio Builder.

New Share button: every ranking now has a Share button next to Share image, posts on the blog and each matchup on State Ruler share a short link too, like hexhq.blog/s/top-10-players-hero instead of a long address ending in a number.

Your language, their language: whoever opens the link sees the page in English or Spanish, depending on their browser.

Easy to paste in the game chat: short, readable and the same link every time, so your alliance always lands on the right page.

First steps: pick an avatar, write your bio, set your country, make your first State Ruler prediction and post your first comment. Each one adds VIP points once, the moment you do it. If you already did some of them, the points are already yours.

Every day: three tasks (visit the site, comment on a post or video, make a prediction while a round is open), 2 points each. Visits build a weekly streak: from your 3rd day in a row they are worth double, and visiting all 7 days, Monday to Sunday, adds 50 points. The week starts over every Monday.

Lower VIP levels: VIP 1 now needs 5 points, VIP 2 needs 15 and VIP 3 needs 30, so frames, bubbles and name colors come much sooner. Every level got cheaper, and nobody went down: if you were close, you may have just leveled up.

Where: My profile → Points. The guide has the details.

Thank you: HΞXHQ launches today, and it got here because of you. Every member who joined during Early Access now has the Founding Member card style: champagne light over an outpost gate at sunrise, with a brushed metal finish. It was already sent to every account, and the bell has a note from HEX for each of you.

Only today: anyone who joins by the end of today, October 14, 2026 (Atlantic Standard Time), gets it too, automatically, the moment their account is created. After that, nobody else will. It will not come back and it cannot be bought.

Wear it: My profile → Customize → Card. Everyone who opens your player card will see you were here from day one.

Not a member yet? Join today and it is yours.

A new kind of card: your player card can now wear art. Thirteen exclusive styles arrive today, each with its own illustrated background, colors and finish: Outrun and Synthwave for the neon nights, the Spartan Phalanx and The Hot Gates for the ones who hold the line, Vampire Lord and Succubus for the dark side, Neon Ronin, Outbreak Zero, Phoenix Rising, Frost Wolf, Abyss Kraken and Wasteland Raider.

You cannot buy them: they are not for sale and they do not come with a VIP level. HEX gives them as rewards: to members who make the community better, to the winners of events and as a thank you. Some will also come with events for a few days only: equip one while it is open and it stays yours for good.

Inner Circle: one of them is special. It is for HEX's friends in the game, the ones who were there from the start.

Got one? It shows up in My profile → Customize → Card, and the bell lets you know the moment it arrives. Everyone who opens your player card sees it.

The bell: when there is something new for you, a round bell floats at the bottom left of the screen. Likes and replies to your comments, what HEX gives you, site news and new blog posts, all in one place. No new buttons in the menu: it only shows up when there is something to see.

Mark all as read: open the list and tap each one to go there, or clear everything at once and the bell goes away.

Cleared it by mistake? In My profile → Preferences you can bring back the last 24 hours. News and blog posts follow your site news setting there.

Need Inspo?: more than 50 short phrases players use in their bios, with the gradient already applied. Open the Bio Builder, pick one, keep it or change the text, and add it to your bio.

Reverse and From the center: flip any palette, or start the gradient from the middle of the text so both ends match.

Style your in-game bio: colors, bold, italic and font sizes for your Last Z bio, with a preview that looks like the game. Find it in Tools as Bio Builder, then copy it and paste it into your bio.

Tap to edit: tap any letter in the preview to change that part's text, color or size, remove it, or switch it between one color and a gradient.

Gradients: one color per letter, from ready palettes in purple, blue, red, yellow, dark tones and more, or your own.

Saved bios: keep up to 20 bios with a name. With an account they stay in your profile on every device.

Find a server: type a server number, like 245, above the results. The page jumps to its group and highlights it, and next time it opens right there.

Easier on your phone: groups now come one at a time. Swipe or use the arrows to move between them.

Results first: once voting closes, the Community Sentiment Breakdown starts folded. Tap its title to open it.

Made for the app: the sign in email now brings a code too. If you added HΞXHQ to your home screen, type the code right there instead of opening the link, which takes you to your browser.

The link still works: on a computer or in your browser, keep using the link as before.

Add it like an app: from your phone's browser menu, choose Add to Home Screen. HΞXHQ opens full screen with its own icon.

Smoother when something fails: if a page can't load, you get a clear message with a Try again button and links to the main sections.

Stability improvements: several small fixes across the site.

Upload your photo: as promised, every member can now use a photo of their own as their avatar. Go to My profile, Customize and tap Upload photo.

Checked first: your photo is checked before other members can see it, usually within a few hours. Until then only you can see it, and it becomes your avatar as soon as it is approved.

A few rules: one photo a day, and no nudity, violence, hate symbols, drugs, personal data, official logos or other people without their permission. Read the Terms for the details.

Your choice: you can switch back to any other avatar, or delete your photo, whenever you want. We updated the Privacy policy to explain how we handle it.

Saved with your account: when you are signed in, the levels you set in each research tree are saved with your account. Fill your trees on your phone and pick up where you left off on your PC. Only you can see them.

Your earlier progress comes along: the first time you open Tech Research signed in, what that browser already had is saved to your account. If you used more than one device, open first the one that matches the game.

Without an account: your progress stays in your browser, as before.

Ranking dates fixed: capture dates now show the day the data was captured. Captures loaded on a Friday night no longer appear as Saturday.

All portraits unlocked: the ten hero portraits no longer depend on your VIP level. Pick any of them, or a basic avatar, in My profile, Customize.

Your VIP level, now for style: VIP keeps unlocking frames, comment bubbles, titles, name colors and player card styles. That is where your profile stands out.

In-game avatar retired: requesting your in-game profile picture depended on a tool that isn't always available, so we removed it.

Coming soon, your own avatar: as a thank you for all the support we have received, we will soon let you upload your own custom avatar. We will announce it here.

Trophies for the top 3: the Intel Points ranking in Predictions leaderboard now opens with a podium. Gold with wings and a crown for first place, silver and bronze for second and third, each with the member's avatar and frame inside the trophy.

An entrance worth watching: the steps rise, the winners drop in and confetti falls when first place lands. You see it once per event, and a button replays it whenever you want.

Your place, always in view: places 4 to 10 show their hit rate and badges. Your own row stands out with how many points you are from the place above, or from the top 10 if you are further down.

A new chip on every Round 2 result: in State Ruler, finals and third place matches now show a Breakdown chip. It opens a card with the power of the top 5 alliances of each state before and after the battle, how much each alliance lost and how the kills of both states moved.

It turns on when the stats arrive: the result comes first and the stats a little later, so the chip stays off until the card is ready. The first one is live: the final between S245 and S240.

Made to share: the card fits your phone or your computer screen, and a screenshot already carries everything, including the date of each capture.

Live coverage on the site: on Saturday, October 10, at 14:00 UTC, Live battle shows every final on one screen: the featured matchup with its roles, who is ahead in each capital and every result as it happens. Tap a final to feature it.

Every capital in one line: a ticker runs at the top of Live battle with who is ahead in each capital and every conquest, defense and comeback, each with its time. It refreshes on its own and you can see it with or without an account.

When it ends: once every capital has a result, the replay opens so you can watch the whole battle again.

Fair predictions: once the invaders and defenders of a battle are known, picking a winner gets much easier. From now on Make your predictions closes as soon as those roles are set, or on Saturday at 14:00 UTC at the latest. The final of this event is already closed for that reason.

The battle, by the clock: the State Ruler card on Home now tells you where things stand. Predictions closed before the battle, battle in progress from 14:00 UTC, and battle over while we confirm every capital, until the results are in.

Your progress in @tech-research: every tree card shows how far along you are in levels and in badges (they never match, because each level costs a different amount), and a Max ribbon when you finish it. Stat overview adds up every stat you unlocked across all trees, and Complete tree sets a whole tree to the max in two taps, so you can catch up with the game quickly.

Trees that follow the game: in every tree except Unit Special Training, a node unlocks with one level in each node before it and never goes above them while they still have levels to go. We also fixed the connections in Army Building to match the game.

Something looks off? Tell us in Feedback.

Our analysis, in under a minute: we are turning our posts into short videos. The first ones cover the State Ruler Round 1 results, the finals, hero power in 193-256 and the states closest to a merge. Every video shows the date of its data on screen.

Where to watch: in HΞX TV, the Official channel row comes first, and the videos are larger so they are easy to spot. You can also follow us on YouTube at @hexhqtv.

In English and Spanish: each video comes in both languages, with its own subtitles.

What do you want to see next? Tell us the topic in Feedback.

A real card: your player card is now a game card that floats on its own. The front shows your avatar, VIP level, name, title, bio, likes, Intel Points and accolades. Swipe it or use the arrows to see your latest contributions and comments, and one more time to see every accolade you earned.

Your accolades, up front: tap any accolade to see it large, with how it was earned, and browse the rest from there. On your own card you can pin up to 4 to show on the front.

Your country: pick it in My profile with a searchable list of flags. It shows on your card with its flag, and you decide in Privacy whether others see it.

Card styles you unlock: by VIP level, Recruit (VIP 0 to 3), Vanguard (4 to 7), Squadron (8 to 14), Command (15 to 19) and Elite (VIP 20); and by predicting in State Ruler, Observer (your first correct prediction), Analyst (100 Intel Points), Strategist (300), Intel Command (750) and Mastermind (1500). Pick yours in My profile, Customize, Card; the ones you don't have yet can be previewed.

Smaller things you asked for: Customize stays open after you equip something, so you can change avatar, frame, bubble, title and name color in one visit; your profile has a See my card button; tapping a video on a card opens it in HΞX TV; and the contributor titles are now earned with your VIP level.

What do you think? Tell us in Feedback.

To everyone who already created an account on HΞXHQ: thank you. Seeing so many players arrive in so few days means a lot to us, and every sign up, comment and prediction brings this place to life.

Your privacy, first and in plain sight: we are committed to being transparent about how we handle our members' data. That's why the sign in page now shows, before you type your email, why we ask for an account: a few corners of the community are closed on purpose, so nobody hiding in anonymity can use what you share or your interactions against you. It also explains how you sign in without a password and what we do with your email.

If you already had an account, the next time you visit we'll ask you to confirm, just once, that you read our Privacy policy. We keep that confirmation with its date. Please take a moment to read it, together with why we ask for an account, so you know first hand why we suggest signing up.

Tech Research, fixed: the last node of Fully Armed Alliance, Peace Shield, Siege to Seize, Field, Army Building and the three trainings (Assaulter, Rider and Shooter) now works like in the game: it unlocks with at least one level in each node before it, it doesn't fill them for you and it never goes above them. Every tree also gets an icon closer to what you see in the game, and we removed New Home and Elite Troops from the list because they are free research that doesn't use badges.

Closer to the community: in State Ruler predictions you can now see how the community is voting on each matchup, even before the deadline; we let you know on screen when someone likes or replies to your comment (you can change that in My profile); and short notices may appear at the top of the site when something important happens. We are also designing new accolades for your player card.

A challenge we are taking on: we are working to improve the site's translation and, over time, to offer it in more languages. It is a long job and it will take time, but we are ready to face it and get it done, so more players feel at home here.

None of this would be possible without you. If something looks wrong, if you have an idea or you just want to tell us what you'd like to see, write to us in Feedback: we read every message and reply right there.

Each capital now has its own card with an occupation ring that shows how far each side has gotten. Swipe between cards on your phone, or see several at once on a wide screen.

A summary table lists every group with both matchups and who is leading; tap a row to jump to its card.

Tap a state to compare both servers. Once a matchup is locked, the comparison also shows how the community voted in its predictions.

Each capital card now shows its turrets: which alliance holds each one, for which side and since when.

The live board refreshes every 15 seconds while the page is open, and each card shows how long ago its capital was last read.

On a ranking page you can now jump straight to another stat of the same group. On your phone, tap or swipe the strip on the edge of the screen to open the side panel; with an account, you can choose its side in My profile.

On mobile, each row shows only the ranking's stat; tap a player, alliance or server to see the rest. Every ranking also has a short "In short" explanation under its title.
