After landing on Android and Windows Phone about a week ago, the latest Angry Birds Epic update has finally come to iOS! This update sees the version number increase to v1.0.14. Let’s jump right what’s included in this update (note, the best place to chat about this is in the Angry Birds Epic Update History & Changelog forum):
- Two new Chronicle Caves (8 and 9)! Our walkthroughs for these new cave levels are live here.
- Moon Priestess headgear (see image): Per the forums it looks like this might be Android only.
- The max XP cap was increased from 29 to 33.
- Per @thepixeluser, Potions got a makeover and Matilda’s attack animation may be bugged (I don’t believe this affects her actual ability. (see comment)
- Per @mighty-red-1, “the Mighty Eagle’s mercenaries are now significantly stronger and friends’ birds are able to be re-hired for 3 Lucky Coins. (see comment)
- Bug fixes! As usual, this update includes a bunch of bug fixes. Since the versions are now synced across Anroid and iOS the issues related to sending Friendship Essence and using a friend’s Golden Pig Machine should be fixed.

@birdleader You forgot to mention that the max level cap has been increased to 33.
… and that the Mighty Eagle’s mercenaries are now significantly stronger and friends’ birds are able to be re-hired for 3 Lucky Coins.
Thanks for the info @mighty-red-1. I have updated the post.
iOS 1.0.14 (22 Sep 2014)
Gameplay seems change again: Re-hiring friends’ birds require 10 Lucky Coins :-/
I like angry birds and I from ilford
Moon Priestess headgear was only available in japan/china/korea. now its not available anymore.
+ only until a few hours after the update on android it was available worldwide (due to a bug)
Thanks for the info @josm!
Some other stuff:
Matilda’s attack animation now is screwed up and Matilda doesn’t move when attacking.
Potions have a new look.
Also the Facebook tag on the totem top was nerfed a bit.
I had the same animation problem with Piggy Mc Cool
I also had several other bugs like:
– The caves entrance looks like it´s closed, but I can still go in there
– When a pig gives another pig the ability to attack back if it is attacked it just takes another turn (so if it´s going to attack a bird in 3 turns it´s now 2 turns left.)
I have another problem:
The white bird is not going toward to attack.It just attacks from her position.I tried with other weapons and other bird classes.
Maybe it’s a compatibility bug.Because my iOS is ios 8 Golden Master edition.
I can take a video and send it.
some off topic news @birdleader :
new game out in Finland, Sweden and Canada called Selfie Slam
Gameplay: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rx_uJW3ql-U&list=UUYC2wjLop-S6Ld4raeoUVNA
and Angry Birds Transformers: Foreman Pig as Lockdown!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jE_GNEGexxg&list=UUYC2wjLop-S6Ld4raeoUVNA
The AB Transformer video of FP is cool. One can theorize there maybe some racing and some weapons for the game play. Wonder if there will be any birds flinging from a sling?
no slingshots in gameplay
Change on iOS v1.0.14:
Blue Spies’ 35% attack (indirect attack) is seems no longer ignore all passive effects (ironclad, dodge, shield)
Further playing with Blue Spies and found that although Smoke Bomb cannot pierce through passive effects/buffs (ironclad, dodge, shield), its chain attack can pierce through passive effects/buffs. Do you have the same change, too?
Or perhaps all birds’ chain attack can pierce through……?
Chain Attack basically ignores passives since v1.0.10.
Thanks for your feedback. I doubt what you suggested but I can’t proof it again after upgraded to 1.0.14 ……
They killed the 300+ snoutlings you could get at King Pig’s Castle. Dang…I used to farm it a lot for snoutlings! Now you get maybe a dozen or so. Fun while it lasted.
If you play Desert Pig Castle or Star Reef Castle the bosses there give 100 snouts now.
They also killed the quick coins technique of moving your device’s internal clock ahead 24 hours, fighting the golden pig, then repeating.
I used to do that! Now they updated and Piggy Mccool’s special offers say 315 days left!
Another ridiculous balance update in v1.0.14:
– Nightmare set now deals 200 damage, not 200%.
– Spies’ Smoke Bomb cannot pierce through passive/buffs. They’re considered as normal damage instead of constant damage.
– Berserk’s Frenzy cannot either.
– Lightning Fast and Tricksy Trick cannit be used to stunned bird.
Am I the only one to think it is totally ridiculous? Especially, Berserk and Nightmare Set were already weak without this nerf.
Hey @dh-kim, thanks a bunch for the info. Very interesting! I am going to intentionally withhold judgement though (others are welcome to chime in).
My android version is 1.0.15, is same version with ios 1.0.14?
Bug fixes @PJng
I can’t use the Golden Pig Machine once a day at friend FB. Why ?
It’s been weeks that that does not work…
@GrimmJow When you and your friend are running different versions of the app (e.g., v1.0.12 versus v1.0.14), Golden Pig Machine visits doesn’t work. Updating to the latest version should help.
@amslimfordy
Till this morning I had the last version and nevertheless it makes at least one month that I cannot use it every day and that nobody uses mine.
This morning I updates, always nothing…
@grimmjow maybe they still did not update tot the new version!!
@josm, @amslimfordy
I can conceive that today, all are not even up to date. But before this update, during a month, no daily Golden Pig Machine…
Otherwise after use today, here is it known I noticed:
– I finally had a free tour of GPM by looking at a video
– Every time we change support (IPhone, IPad), there is a jouvelle offer to Piggy Mc Cool’s market
– I had to begin again my card Eagle since the beginning….
– I used friends on IPhone for the cave. By going on the IPad, the waiting time was finished.
I am Android user and I have not Moon Priestess for Matilda(
Moon Priestess is for Asian 3 countries only.
Resting bonus worked yesterday, but once it was done, it has never come back after over 24 hours. Anyone else experiencing this?
Cave 9 is very hard. What birds would you recommend to succeed in cave 9?
@chriss The walkthroughs are here:
https://www.angrybirdsnest.com/category/angry-birds-epic/angry-birds-epic-walkthroughs/
Thanks @sal9. But I have different enemies than in the videos (they are much stronger) and I am not in level 37 like Birdleader so my birds are weaker and the walkthroughs are not helpful for me. Maybe someone has a different idea how to succeed. But maybe I should ask at the walkthrough page?
It would be best if you have a specific question about a level.
@Chriss — A simple trick of doing cave 9 is to save one pig summoned with Pig Pen alive for a while each wave – They do not affect your score, so you can heal until your birds get healthier again while they not-so-toughly poke you.
Oh okay. Thank you!
Since the update my app keeps crashing,most of the time I can’t finish a battle!! Very frustrating :^(

Hello,
I have a big problem : date of my IPhone and my IPad are exactly even (September 17th, 2014 ). Only having played on my IPad by borrowing friends’ birds FB, the countdown is good of 12 hours on IPad. But when I go on IPhone, I have to wait 39 days !!!!
Why ? How to solve this problem ?
The same problem for the golden pig. He appears on IPad but more on IPhone.
And on IPhone, it is the donjon of Wednesday that is opened (normal) and on IPad it is the one of Monday (not normal). I have the impression that the game on IPad positions me temporarily in 39 days, but why ? :(
It sounds like you may have tweaked your device settings at some point @GrimmJow
@amslimfordy
There are so many months, and all the time I had taken was caught early. Today in the game we are the same as real time.
I think there’s a real problem because I disconnected my account on the Ipad Rovio. Local backup on the iPad are birds of four levels.
When I reconnected my account rovio on the iPad, it acted like it was the first time I connectais my account. My account Rovio has sucked the very old local sauevagrde and I lost everything. So do not tell me that I HAVE hacked ….
Thank you for helping me find a solution …
I’ve noticed in this update enemy shields are being over written. I was in cave 8 fighting a Guard Captain and Apprentice. The Apprentice cast Protective Bubble first. Then the Guard Captain cast Alarm. I tapped and held on the pig who had Protective Bubble and he just had Alarm. I guess only the strongest shield counts.
Hey gang – I’ve noticed the “loot/robber pig” has not been dropping a pile of snoutlings as he did in the past. Hard to track, but I think it’s only generating 3 or 4. This is true in general in above-ground combat or in the caves. I hate wasting attacks with so little pay off. Glitch or intentional?
While I’m at it, I don’t understand the logistics of “stun” from appropriate weapons – it seems inconsistent, either the pig is out for the rest of the turn, or out the whole following turn, or (annoyingly) is “woken up” by the next hit within the same turn and is ready to attack right away. So a stun is not necessarily a stun. This is particularly evident in Chronicle Caves, when every stun is critical!
Anyone else had the same experiences?
Wealthy rogues still not paying off for me more than a standard pig since the update on iOS. What’s up with that?
When you release the latest version ( 1.1.3 ) for Windows Phone ?
We do not have this information Gianpiero. Hopefully sooner than later.
Any plans with releasing more updates for the windows phone users? We are hopelessly behind :)
