Endless Strawberry Cake Tower
Ever since the Heaven-Splitting Lightning Update players have been able to see that the Sublime Cake Tower has now been split into two versions, those being - Decadent Choco Cake Tower and Endless Strawberry Cake Tower.
The Decadent Choco Cake Tower proved to be quite difficult, even challenging a ton of veterans and getting a lot of hate from the community about its difficulty. This time we won’t be getting an update on the difficulty of the Decadent Choco Cake Tower, however, we will finally get to try out the Endless Strawberry Cake Tower.
The Endless Strawberry Cake Tower is set to feature a series of floors that will be filled with normal and boos monsters, meaning that it will work in a similar way to the Sublime Cake Tower everyone knows additionally, as rewards for clearing floors players will receive Chaos Cake Pieces as First Clear rewards.
It is uncertain if there will be any other new rewards for clearing floors, but we will keep you updated whenever more information comes out.

New Costume
The May 8 update will feature a new Legendary costume for the newly added Stormbringer Cookie. The costume’s name is - [The Splitter of the Seas] and players will be able to obtain it from the costume gacha.
As mentioned this will be a Legendary Costume, so we hope you have saved up enough Rainbow Cubes so that you can try and get this costume.
The Splitter of the Seas will also come with new voice lines so you might want to look out for those as well.
