## What is Stock War?

Lead your army of buyer ants and your hero, Captain Ant, against waves of sellers. Gather food in 90-second battles, deploy units, and push the front line forward with evolution and upgrades in this one-handed vertical line defense. There is no cooldown on unit production. If you have the food, you can deploy instantly.

Clear stages to advance through the eras as enemies grow stronger. When you hit your limit, rebirth to earn prisms and reach even further. Today's battle builds tomorrow's army.

■ Hero Captain Ant
A hero who fights beside you from the very first battle. Every new star unlocks an ability: Shot, Liquidity Supply, Fireball, Battle Cry and Full Mobilization. Three pieces of hero gear, the Charm, the Orb and the Lucky Coin, grow all the way to Mythic.

■ A new build every run
Each time you level up in the campaign, pick 1 of 3 cards. Mix 30 cards, including double-edged ones, into a new combo every stage.

■ Collect and evolve 126 units
3 themes × 7 evolution stages. Melee, ranged, and powerful special units. Complete the Collection and build your army.

■ Conquer eras and rebirth
The eras never end, and from era 4 a boss waits at the final stage of each one. Use prisms from rebirth to stack 5 permanent upgrades, including attack, HP, and food production.

■ 3 event maps
Roguelike tower defense "Bull Market Rampage", the liquidation line of "Short-Seller Den", and the survival battle "Black Tuesday". A new map opens every 24 hours.

■ Dungeons, badges, and skills
Earn resources in horde dungeons and boss raids, then build your own power with 30 badges and skills.

■ Global ranking
Compete for the highest era on the global leaderboard. Ranks 1 to 3 take the stage with their Captain Ant.

■ Play on your terms
The full game is playable offline from start to finish. Signing in is optional and only used for cloud saves. All ads are optional rewarded ads you choose to watch.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.1.1 — 2026-09-30

Version 1.1.1

■ Blitz March
Once you are strong enough, sweep through eras you have already conquered without fighting.

■ Rebirth revamp
Enemy bases in eras you have already cleared are much weaker, so you climb back faster. Rebirth becomes available after 20 minutes of battle time in the current run.

■ Growth changes
Permanent Attack and HP upgrades now apply to all allies, including specials. Coins from kills and stage clear rewards have been increased.

■ Quality of life
Faster loading, a receipt screen that shows exactly what each paid purchase gave you, and an in-app notice when a new version is available. Also includes a new app icon and more reliable cloud saves.

### 1.1.0 — 2026-09-27

Captain Ant joins the battle in a major update.

■ Hero: Captain Ant
A hero now fights at your side from the very first battle. Every new star unlocks another ability: Shot, Liquidity Supply, Fireball, Battle Cry and Full Mobilization. Power them up with Sugar Cubes to make them hit harder.

■ Hero Gear
Reach highest era 3 to unlock the Charm (attack), the Orb (HP) and the Lucky Coin (Coins). Five grades from Common to Mythic, and the top grades add traits that change the rules of battle, such as a revive or a shield.

■ Level-up cards
Defeat enemies in the campaign to level up, then pick 1 of 3 cards. 30 cards across four rarities, including double-edged cards that trade a big boost for a cost. Cards reset every stage, so every run plays differently.

■ Era bosses
From era 4, a dedicated boss guards stage 7 of every era. Survive its sweeping strikes and the shockwave that pushes your line back.

■ Mini unit swarms
From era 10, 16 small, fast enemies join the fight one by one and rush in as squads and swarms.

■ Era Pass
From highest era 3, a reward tier opens every 2 eras. Every player gets the standard track, and the premium track pays out every tier you have already passed at once.

■ Instant Clear and Exchange
From highest era 2, Instant Clear in the lobby grants hero materials 3 times a day, plus 2 more with ads. The Exchange in the Shop offers one daily trade for each material without spending Diamonds.

■ A fresh look
A brighter, redrawn interface, punchier battle effects, a new soundtrack and a new app icon starring Captain Ant. The first-battle guide has been rebuilt too.

■ Improvements
- Signing in on a new device now shows this device's progress and your cloud progress side by side so you can choose. We also fixed an issue where cloud progress could be overwritten on a new device.
- Ranks 1 to 3 in the Ranking now take the stage with their Captain Ant and gear, and every rank has a detail view.
- The Collection has been redesigned and the language picker tidied up.

### 1.0.3 — 2026-08-05

· Starter Missions are here. On new accounts that finish the first-battle guide, five missions open one after another at the top right of the battle screen: upgrade food production, defeat enemies, produce ranged units, unlock a Special unit, and watch an ad. Claim your Coins as you complete each one.
· Finish the first-battle guide and you'll receive 100 Coins along with a completion banner.
· Your first nickname change is now free. From the second change it costs 100 Diamonds, and the 7-day cooldown after a change stays the same.
· The account button in the lobby now stays after you sign in, so Settings and your account are always one tap away.
· Fixed the food production upgrade not applying during the first-battle guide, where tapping it only closed the panel. It now applies instantly and moves on to the next step.

### 1.0.2 — 2026-07-31

· New reward effects: currencies you collect now fly to their counters, and bulk badge or skill upgrades play a chained upgrade animation.
· New power breakdown: see layer by layer which multipliers make up your total power.
· The Event Shop got a redesign and a new item, the Essence Vault. Buying the permanent Event Booster now plays a special celebration.
· The lobby now shows your guest save status with a shortcut to link an account.
· Fixed the permanent Event Booster not applying immediately to other events that were open at the same time.

### 1.0.1 — 2026-07-26

· Full review of the English text, from unit, skill and event descriptions to the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.
· Fixed dungeon and event names, daily missions and chase ability descriptions that were still shown in Korean.
· Fixed clipped and shifted text in the battle top bar, unit spawn buttons, tower cards and screen headers.
· If the app closes while a rewarded ad is playing, the game now recovers correctly on the next launch.
