NEW ABILITIES
New Ability Mechanic: Devour
Devour is a new ability mechanic attached to some Fierce creatures. Devour abilities deal damage like regular Strikes, Impacts and Rampages, but also heal your creature with a percentage of that attack damage over a specified number of turns!
These powerful abilities will help your Fierce creatures stay in the fray longer, but use them wisely. If your attack damage is reduced by Shields or debuffs, your heal value will also be reduced! All Devour abilities released in 2.15 bypass Armor and Shields.
Look for the T. rex gobbling down health on Ability icons to indicate a Devouring ability!

RAID MATCHMAKING
Want to play in Raids but don’t have enough Friends or Allies online to build your Lobby? Use the new Raid Matchmaking features: Auto Join and Auto Fill!
To use Auto Join, visit a Raid you want to play on the Map. Tap AUTO JOIN, next to the CREATE button. This will automatically add you to a Lobby with other players from around the world looking to fight this Boss!
Have a few friends you want to play with but not enough to fill your Lobby?
To use Auto Fill Visit a Raid, Create a Lobby, fill it with any teammates you are looking to play with, then tap AUTO FILL! This will fill remaining empty slots with players looking to Raid! Only Lobby leaders will have access to this button, and only players fully in the Lobby (not just invited) will keep their slots.
Auto Join and Auto Fill are available for Raids of all rarities. Auto Join and Auto Fill have replaced Public/Private join settings in Raids. Using Auto Fill may cause leaders to be moved to a new slot as Lobbies are linked together, but teammates selected before Auto Filling will always remain together!
Happy Raiding!
