Warlander: Newbies Can Now Train Before Doing Real Battle in Update 1.4.1.1166

Warlander is a 3D hybrid game that combines elements from multiple genres, including MOBA, battle royale, and action RPG, to create something really special. This game focuses on group play where the main objective is to try and defeat the opposing team by destroying their castle.

Just recently, developer Toylogic released Update 1.4.1.1166 which added Practice Mode to the game. This is a single-player mode where players will fight against and alongside bots. This is a pretty neat feature that allows newbies to get a feel for the game before they do battles against real people.

For seasoned veterans of Warlander, there's also another game mode added in this patch called Superior Foe Battle. The game would normally match players of similar rank but this mode can sometimes pit players against people of a higher rank. When this happens, the amount of XP they can gain after a battle is increased, a reward for enduring the more difficult encounter.
