Sorcerer Tower Defense Culling Game Update Line
From Kashimo and Higuruma to Naoya — what each numbered drop added.
The Culling Game is not a one-week event. It is the update line that ran through 29.0 (Kashimo), 30.0 (Higuruma), and 31.0 (Naoya) in Sorcerer Tower Defense. This page is the history so you stop mixing April codes with August units. How to play the mode is the Culling Game guide. Live numbers are Update 31.0.
29.0 — Lightning and Kogane
April 2026 roundups describe Update 29 as the mode launch: Lightning Sorcerer (Kashimo) as a Special Grade chain carry, Kogane as a support/income shikigami, orbs as a loot choice, and a dedicated Culling Points wallet. Codes from that window (CullingGame, Kashimo, Delay, JusticeMattersMost, HelicopterHelicopter) are now on the expired list or unverified.
Kogane sold as a 1,499 Robux limited pack. That pack is gone. Any “buy Kogane” leftover in a guide is wrong.
30.0 — Justice Sorcerer
The Roblox title tag flipped to [HIGURUMA]. Justice Sorcerer arrived with an encounter rate, a 10k Culling Point contract, Justice Fragments, and Domain Expansion Deadly Sentencing. Achievements and an extra unit slot were advertised. Gaze Sorcerer and Helicopter Sorcerer sat on the previous pass.
Deadly Sentencing’s Death Penalty wipe is the fantasy; bugged-domain reports are why Justice sits A instead of S on the tier list.
31.0 — Projection Sorcerer
[NAOYA] tag. Projection Fragments, Season 8 Claws / Explosive, three new codes, regional store clamp. Details on the Update 31 page and Culling units.
Systems that survived all three patches
- Culling Points as a separate currency.
- Orb loot after extracts.
- Colony push with better fragment rates later.
- Contracts that target the next encounter from colony 3 onward (community tables).
- Extraction: get a kill or forfeit.
Hell 15, Heaven and Earth, and Strongest Crate did not retire. Culling is a parallel funnel. Accounts that only Culling-grind still need Gojo Raid shards if they want the Ascended carry.
What to ignore in old videos
- “Kogane is in the shop.”
- April code blocks watermarked as NEW.
- Tier lists that omit Projection, Claws, and Explosive.
- Double Luck stacks in regions where Update 31 removed the pass.
Official showcases still drop on YouTube before weekends. The Updates hub embed is that style of teaser. Use it for hype, then verify units in the lobby upgrade panel.
If you are returning after a long break: redeem live codes, claim the free pass, bank points, then read the Culling Game guide once. The lore names changed on the title plate; the grind did not.
What a returning player should actually do
Log in. Check whether trading and Double Luck still exist on your account. Redeem whatever the Codes Hub still lists. Claim Season 8 free Claws. Then pick one Culling craft — Justice for the shop target, Projection for bosses — and ignore April Kashimo thumbnails. Hell 15 and Heaven and Earth did not retire; the Gojo Raid is still how Ascended Gojo happens. Culling is the extra funnel that 29.0 added and 31.0 decorated, not a new game. Keep the tier list open so you do not rebuild the whole roster around one fragment.
