Fans can pilot Megazords for the first time in Power Rangers: Legacy Wars, and now you can see the impressive Zords in action.
The new update is already on mobile devices and includes two Zords to collect out of the gate. Fans can get a hold of the Mighty Morphin Dino Megazord from the start and can unlock Megazord shards to unlock the Thunder Megazord (Mighty Morphin), Mega Goldar (Mighty Morphin), and the Predazord (Wild Force).
As you can see in the footage, Megazord battles play out a little differently than players are used to. Instead of calling in assists, players equip 2 powerful abilities in a third slot called Supers. Megazords can also call on Mega Abilities, powers that can be activated by spending EP or taking damage from the opponent.
There are a few other differences to note here. Megazord battles do not have block or recovery states, so you'll need to adjust if you are used to taking advantage of those in normal battles. Megazords can also attack with any move from just about any hit reaction state, which might throw a few players for a loop. Defensive Clashes now deal and receive 50% damage as well.
The sense of scale in these battles is impressive, as the city's skyscrapers show just how massive the Megazords are. You can see this in action in the new footage, which also gives a good look at the Megazord lineup's various Strikes, Breakers, and Block attacks.
Take the Dino Megazord as an example. The Dino Megazord has six abilities at its command. Its Strikes consist of the Dino Power Combo, Jumping Thrust, and Rushing Double. It also has a Sabertooth Kick defensive ability, and two special Breakers, Power Sword and Lightning Blast.

Megazord Update
As stated before, there's more to the Megazord update than just the actual Megazords, and here's a rundown of what's included.
Fans can now take part in Megazord Alliance Wars, which allows you to take on other Alliances in special events. Players deal as much damage as they can to the other Alliance's Megazord, and the winner gets added points to their Alliance's score on the global leaderboard.
The good news is you don't have to win to earn points, though you will get more if you win. The battles themselves only require 1 energy, but it can only be earned when a Megazord event is active. Also, if you start a battle with one alliance, you will need to stick with that alliance throughout the event, otherwise the alliance will lose the points you earned on their behalf.
You can also work with your alliance to complete other missions, which will early you Zord shards and energy. Battle replays are now shareable with your alliance members via the Theater option.
Non Megazord updates include lessened clash immunity to prevent clash wins with longer recovery moves, as well as a change to defensive abilities. Those abilities will reset the EP Regen timer, which should promote more aggressive play. New talents have also been added.
Fans will also see more essence drops in missions and corruption boxes, as well as performance improvements on lower to mid-tier devices. Your Main Menu background will also change depending on your current league, and if you are above 4800 medals you will fight in a random arena from all of the leagues you've surpassed instead of the same one over and over again.
Lots of great stuff there, so hit the next slide to see the updated roster!
