September 24, 2026

Bounty Hunter wave + Morgana

Thursday New Sprite Day. 22 sprites: 17 Bounty Hunter variants plus Morgana and its four specials. Birthday followed on Saturday 26 Sep.

What went live

Bounty Hunter for Jonesy, Adventure, Bush, Sonic, Tails, Shadow, 8-Bit, Jackrabbit, Killswitch, Klombo, Overshield, X-Ray, Onigiri, Storm Scout, Blinky, Crash, and Pond. Morgana (Persona — better healing items) with Gold / Cheat Master / Loot Hacker / Bounty Hunter. Bounty Hunter Crown was already live from v42.20.

How Bounty Hunter drops

These variants have a chance to appear when you eliminate an opponent. They only gain Sprite XP from eliminations unless the sprite has special XP rules. Crown is a mastery unlock: win a match with Loot Hacker Crown equipped. Mega Man has no Bounty Hunter art.

September 17, 2026 — v42.20

Crash, Blinky, Pond

Servers came back around 6 AM ET. Epic did not wait for the usual 9 AM sprite reset — Crash, Blinky, Pond, and their variants entered the pool that morning.

What shipped

Crash (air whirlwind), Blinky (cloak on damage), and Pond (super jump), each with Gold / Cheat Master / Loot Hacker. Bounty Hunter Crown unlocks by winning a match with Loot Hacker Crown equipped.

Drop rules from this patch

Any rarity can roll from Rare or Epic cheat-code pads. Epic pads boost variants. Legendary pads guarantee a variant. Going a while without a new sprite raises the odds of one you do not own.

September 3, 2026 — v42.10

Mega Man, Overshield, X-Ray, Onigiri

Sprite Chests left the loot pool. Unlock sprites with cheat codes in the world. Mastered sprites cost half Sprite Dust to resummon.

Confirmed powers

X-Ray periodically marks nearby enemies. Onigiri applies Overdrive after a consumable. Mega Man reduces slide/swim friction. Overshield grants Overshield that scales with level.

Design-A-Sprite winners

X-Ray (Avila215), Onigiri (Enorull — swapped in for Bullet), Pond (Pine & Kiri), and Dumpster Dive (StinkyPrincessGoose, live Oct 1). Honey stays 15 Oct.
