🚀 ROCAcademy July 2026 Update — New Heroes X29, New Skins & Personalized Combo Rankings

The July update has arrived, bringing one of the biggest improvements ever released for the ROCAcademy Tools.
This release updates every server bracket to the latest seasons, adds support for the newest heroes and skins, improves Tier List accuracy, and introduces a brand-new feature that many players have been requesting for months.
Whether you're a free-to-play player or a heavy spender, this update helps you make better decisions with more accurate recommendations based on your own account.

🌍 Server Brackets Updated
As Rise of Castles continues to progress, our tools have also been updated to match the latest game seasons.
All server brackets now reflect the current hero availability, ensuring that every recommendation shown in the Tier List and My Legions is appropriate for your server.
This means you'll only see heroes and combinations that are actually available for your bracket.
⚔️ New Heroes Now Available
Three new heroes have been added across the entire ROCAcademy platform.
Thorvi
The newest Cavalry hero from Season X29 is now available in every supported tool. Thorvi introduces powerful new cavalry compositions and expands the current meta for Bracket 1 players.
Thorven
Thorven joins Thorvi as another Season X29 Cavalry hero, opening even more strategic possibilities for cavalry-focused players.
Hannibal
Hannibal has also been added and is now available for the appropriate server brackets. As one of the strongest recent releases, he immediately creates several high-performance team compositions.
These heroes are now fully supported in:
My Heroes
My Legions
Tier List
My Combos
🎨 New Hero Skins
This update also expands skin support.
Percival
The Legendary Skin for Percival has been added and is now fully selectable inside My Heroes.
Henry II
Henry II now supports both of his available skins, including the newly added Power of Dominion.
All supported skins are now correctly included when calculating combo strength and rankings.
📊 Tier List Improvements
We've continued refining the Tier List to better represent the current competitive meta.
Improved Score Balance
One issue reported by players was that some No-Skin teams appeared too close in score to fully skinned teams.
We've adjusted the scoring system to create a much clearer separation between these categories while keeping the rankings themselves unchanged.
The result is a Tier List that is easier to understand and better reflects the true value of hero skins.
Updated Meta Rankings
Several combinations have been reviewed using the latest competitive data, ensuring the rankings stay aligned with the current state of Rise of Castles.
⭐ NEW: My Combos (VIP Exclusive)
This is the biggest feature of the entire update.
Instead of showing the strongest teams in the game, My Combos shows the strongest teams you can actually build.
The system automatically reads the heroes and skins you've already selected in My Heroes and generates a completely personalized Tier List.
No manual setup.
No filters.
Just your account, your heroes and your best possible combinations.
What makes My Combos different?
✔ Uses your own hero collection.
✔ Detects which skins you own.
✔ Calculates the real strength of every possible team.
✔ Excludes heroes you don't have.
✔ Creates personalized S, A, B and C tiers.
✔ Displays your Skin Bonus for every combo.
Whether you own every hero or you're building your roster as a free-to-play player, My Combos helps you identify the best teams available to your account, not someone else's.
This feature is available exclusively for VIP members.
