Smash Legends' July update introduces Maya the new legend and the Summer Festival

5minlab is back with a monthly Smash Legends update. Every month, the developers release an update for the real-time PvP action game which typically contains a new legend and gameplay modes. July follows the same template with the 28th legend being added to Smash Legends alongside the start of the Summer Festival Event and Duo Touchdown Mode.

New Legend Maya

The latest character who is part of Smash Legends’ July update is the small but strong Thumbelina – Maya. The 28th hero, Maya, is a Vanguard Legend who utilizes a massive robot for her offensive moves. It can charge into enemies and hit them hard, but it is also extremely mobile as it is capable of leaping as well. She is part of the Smash Pass and players can unlock her once they reach stage ten.

Summer Festival Event

Smash Legends is celebrating the summer season with a festival that will go on for a month, until August 8th. Everything will be redesigned to fit the theme with a new background and soundtrack. Players will be able to use summer-themed items like water balloons, tropical juice and ice cream and they’ll unlock limited-edition skins and rewards too. Expect to see new in-game effects to fit the mood as well.

Duo Touchdown Mode

This isn’t a brand new mode and has been part of Smash Legend’s Arena Lab. But with this update, the Duo Touchdown Mode makes a shift and is now an official mode. In case you haven’t tried it yet, it is a 2v2 mode which requires teams to escort a target to the destination. Whoever gets there first is crowned the winner. Legends saw some balancing changes as well.
