PokéPath TD Patch Notes 1.3

Published:

What Changed

  • Pokémon can now hold one equippable item.
  • +50 new equippable items added.
  • Post-game: re-challenge routes on higher difficulty (Lv cap 50, Team Draft, no items, etc.).
  • +20 Towers added.
  • Hall of Fame added after beating bosses.
  • Option to stop the wave before the boss spawns.
  • Added Gold Cap for UI safety.
  • Added F11 for Fullscreen.
  • Equip items only when not deployed.
  • Box search filter by name added.
  • Team save slots increased + new shortcuts (Ctrl+1–5 to save, F1–F5 to load).
  • Speedrun timer in valid challenges.
  • Save system improvements.
  • Validation checks for imported saves.
  • German language support added.
  • Some Korean names re-translated.
  • Chinese translation added (AI-generated).
  • Wave complete overlay fix.
  • Level up display fixes.
  • Multiple text and UI fixes.

Meta Impact

Items introduce a new power layer

  • Treat items as 'slot upgrades'. Core carries can now scale even harder.
  • Re-evaluate your 'Best Teams' to include item synergies.

Challenge Mode changes 'Best Team' definitions

  • With 'No Items' and 'Level Cap 50' rules, brute-forcing with over-leveled units won't work.
  • You need a separate 'Challenge-Ready Template' that relies on mechanics rather than raw stats.

Best Teams

Items + challenge rules mean you might need a 'no-items' fallback core.

FAQ

How do items work?

Each Pokémon can hold one item. You can only equip them when the Pokémon is NOT deployed on the map. There are over 50 items to find.

What is the new Challenge Mode?

After beating the game, you can re-challenge routes with strict rules like Level Cap 50, Team Draft (limited selection), and No Items allowed for greater rewards and glory.

Is the browser version safe to play?

It is better to play on Desktop. If you play on Browser, you MUST export your save as .txt (Menu -> Export) after every session to avoid data loss.
