In this article, you’ll find a detailed explanation of every new feature, balance changes, and the latest redeem codes that you can claim right away.
Let’s dive into the highlights of Update 18.
New Godly Character: Hirakumi, The Max Blocker
One of the main highlights of Volleyball Legends Update 18 is the arrival of Hirakumi, the first godly character in the game with Max Block capabilities.
Key Features of Hirakumi:
-
Currently the only character in the game with Max Block.
-
Capable of executing extremely powerful shutdown blocks, similar to the overpowered blocking mechanics from a past update.
-
Hirakumi is very slow in movement, but his blocking power is unmatched, allowing him to completely shut down opponents’ plays.
-
He is already being predicted as one of the best godly-tier characters due to his unique and overpowering abilities.
Hardcore Gamemode: Real Volleyball Experience
Volleyball Legends Update 18 also introduces Hardcore Mode, a brand-new game mode built for serious players and fans of realistic volleyball simulations.
What’s New in Hardcore Mode?
-
A pro tournament-style court with dramatic lighting and a highly competitive atmosphere.
-
Real-world volleyball rules are now in effect:
-
You are not allowed to hit the ball outside of the antenna.
-
Back-row players cannot jump in front of the attack line.
-
No skills or abilities can be used – pure skill-based gameplay.
-
-
Minimum level requirement: Level 15, to keep the mode competitive and attract experienced volleyball gamers from other communities.
This mode is still being fine-tuned and will continue to improve based on community feedback. There are even plans to add this mode into Ranked if player interest remains high.
Updated Team Select UI and Mobile Improvements
This update also includes several UI and user experience upgrades that make gameplay smoother for all users.
UI and Quality of Life Enhancements:
-
The Team Select UI has been redesigned with a modern, intuitive layout that matches the game’s overall aesthetic.
-
Shiftlock is now available on mobile, allowing players on mobile devices to perform trick serves and precise movements more easily.
-
You can now switch characters before a Ranked match begins. You will also be able to:
-
See the characters selected by your teammates and opponents.
-
Build a more strategic and balanced team, avoiding full teams made up of just one character type (like all Kimiro).
-
Balance Patch: New Buffs and Nerfs
As with every major update, Volleyball Legends Update 18 includes several balance changes aimed at maintaining a fair and evolving meta.
Buffed Character:
-
Kimiro:
-
His Super Dive can now be canceled.
-
His setting ability has been significantly improved, allowing him to be played as both a setter and libero, making him more flexible across game modes.
-
Nerfed Characters:
-
Timeskip Kagayomo:
-
His Super Set now drops 0.2 seconds faster.
-
The upward lift effect has been removed, allowing other setter characters more viability in the current meta.
-
-
Sanu:
-
Serve power reduced by 5%.
-
Left and right tilt angles have been reduced by 15%.
-
These changes aim to make Sanu’s attack patterns more predictable and balanced, giving room for other spikers to shine.
-
Note: Developers have confirmed that additional balancing adjustments for styles and abilities will be introduced next week. Community suggestions are welcome and actively considered.
