Sorcerer Tower Defense Update 31.0 [NAOYA]
Published 21 August 2026 — Projection Sorcerer and Season 8 battle pass.
Update 31.0 [NAOYA] is the live Sorcerer Tower Defense patch as of late August 2026. The Roblox description calls it the Culling Game drop with a new Special Grade and a Season 8 pass. If you logged off in April, this is the catch-up. Parent index: Updates hub.
Headline units
Projection Sorcerer (Naoya) is the new Special Grade. Craft path: 10 Projection Fragments from Culling Game. Kit identity is Projection stacks into a 24-stack freeze that takes a percent of current HP. Full combat notes on Culling units.
Claws Sorcerer is free battle pass tier 30. Legendary, three placements, Cleave from level 1, place cost around 150. Put it on every Story / Hell lane.
Explosive Sorcerer is premium pass tier 30. Mythic AoE stun, slow SPA, high chunk damage. Buy only if you already pay for passes.
The description still lists Justice Sorcerer, Lightning Sorcerer, and Kogane from the earlier Culling beats. Justice and Lightning remain crafts/encounters. Kogane’s Robux pack is delisted even if the marketing blurb still names it.
Three new codes
The patch teases three strings. The codes still confirmed on 29 August 2026 were LuckWorks (3,000 gems), BattlepassS8 (10,000 coins), and HeadOfHei (3,000 Culling Points). Redeem on the Codes Hub using how to redeem. Older Kashimo-era codes are on the expired list.
Store and trading changes
Update 31 disabled the Robux store, Double Luck, and Trading in regions enforcing paid-random-item rules. If your shop is empty, you are in that region. Crate odds did not become kinder to compensate. Plan gems with the currency guide.
What did not change
Heaven and Earth still drops Reverse Energy Shards. Gojo Raid is still the awakening grind. Red Scarf still evolves into King Of Curses. Hell 15 is still the coin machine. Strongest Crate is still 0.1%.
Bugs the community still flags: Justice domain, Ocean Curse abilities. VERSION ALPHA language remains in the description — expect more “sorry for delay” codes, not a polished 1.0.
What to do this week
- Claim Season 8 free track toward Claws.
- Redeem the three codes.
- Bank Culling Points; do not orb-spam.
- Keep opening Strongest Crates if Gojo is missing.
- Only then farm Projection fragments.
The tier list already includes all three new names. If a creator still ranks Kogane as a buy, they have not read this patch.
If you skipped 29.0 and 30.0
You did not miss a deleted map. Culling Game is still there. You missed Lightning and Justice being added, Kogane being sold and then removed, and a pile of codes that now sit on expired codes. Start at Getting Started if the lobby is new to you, or at the Culling Game guide if Story is already easy. Do not buy a YouTube Naoya pack — Projection is a fragment craft. Do not wait for Kogane to return. Play the patch that is actually live, then spend gems with the currency guide instead of a panic crate binge.
