<p>Wild Forest recently rolled out an important update that affects the competitive gameplay experience. The game replaced the old division system with two streamlined battle modes: Public and Ranked.</p><p>Public Battles are designed for quick, casual matches. These can be excellent for completing daily tasks, but players primarily playing casual matches won't be eligible for extra rewards or the leaderboard.</p><div class="raw-html-embed"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">🚨 Public and Ranked battle modes are live! 🚨<br><br>With this update, divisions are no longer a part of Wild Forest.

No rewards, no leaderboard pressure.​ New matchmaking system… <a href="https://t.co/Q3gQpBGwqM">pic.twitter.com/Q3gQpBGwqM</a></p>— Wild Forest (@playwildforest) <a href="https://twitter.com/playwildforest/status/1911751091722571933?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">April 14, 2025</a></blockquote> <script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script> </div><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Ranked battles are now the go-to mode for players looking to compete versus similarly skilled players. This type of matchmaking can allow players to unlock $WF token rewards and is also the baseline for the leaderboard. Ranked battles require players' units to be at least Legendary Level 1. The new matchmaking system also considers deck strength, rarity, and unit levels for fairer matchups.</p><p>Battle Pass progress is now tied exclusively to Public and Ranked modes too, so the Arcade mode no longer contributes to mission completion.</p><h2><strong>Fugumaru Enters the Forest</strong></h2><p><a href="https://funjible.games/games/Wild-Forest">Wild Forest</a> also introduced Fugumaru alongside the game mode overhaul. Fugumaru is a Tier II melee unit with a Reflective Counter trait. This ability bounces back direct ranged attacks. Fugumaru has high HP but no armor and low damage. He's available starting April 14 for 20 Fragments and will become part of Battle Pass rewards from April 28.</p><figure class="image"><img src="https://assets.funjible.games/wild_forest_ranked_modes_3_60312d53cf.jpg" alt="Wild Forest introduces Fugumaru" srcset="https://assets.funjible.games/thumbnail_wild_forest_ranked_modes_3_60312d53cf.jpg 245w,https://assets.funjible.games/small_wild_forest_ranked_modes_3_60312d53cf.jpg 500w,https://assets.funjible.games/medium_wild_forest_ranked_modes_3_60312d53cf.jpg 750w," sizes="100vw"></figure><p>&nbsp;</p><p>In recent months, Wild Forest <a href="https://funjible.games/news/expeditions-arrive-in-wild-forest-ahead-of-elixirs-release">released expeditions</a> and introduced <a href="https://funjible.games/news/wild-forest-introduces-season-8-battle-pass-and-kaidro-event">battle passes and events</a>.
