Jujutsu Shenanigans V1.76 drops on May 21, 2026 — four days from now. The developers have confirmed four major items: True Cannon Release, Black Death Release, the Cursed Partners Rework, and the Beam Clashing Rework. This is one of the more mechanically significant patches in a while, because Beam Clashing and Cursed Partners both affect core combat systems rather than just adding new movesets.
This guide breaks down what each announced change actually means for how you play, what V1.75 changed with Prison Realm and Soul Swap modes, and where the current meta sits heading into V1.76.
V1.75 Recap: What Changed Earlier This Month
Before jumping to V1.76, here's what V1.75 added — some of these mechanics are still being figured out by the community:
Prison Realm Mode
A new Roulette gamemode where one player is assigned a timed Prison Realm. That player must use Head of the Hei's double dash to pass it to another player before the timer expires. The timer shortens with each pass. Players who fail to pass it in time are eliminated. The last player standing wins.
Prison Realm is a completely different way of approaching JJS combat — instead of fighting, you're managing a hot potato with shrinking margins. The double dash mechanic means Head of the Hei builds have an unexpected advantage here. If you're trying to win Prison Realm matches, practice the double dash timing until it's muscle memory.
Soul Swap Mode
Another new Roulette gamemode. Players are dealt one of three preset moveset kits with varying rarities:
- Green: Common
- Yellow: Uncommon
- Blue: Rare
- Red: Epic
- Purple: Legendary
Players have infinite lives to respawn and test kits. The mode deliberately removes your unlocked characters from the equation — you adapt to whatever you're given rather than running your main. It's a skill test stripped of grinding advantage.
Soul Swap is one of the better practice environments for expanding your moveset knowledge outside your main character. If you've been playing a single character for 200+ hours, Soul Swap forces you to understand how other kits work — which helps when you're fighting against them in standard modes.
Other V1.75 Additions
- 3 new emotes: Ship, Stretch2, Kazotsky Kick
- Headcam setting for content creators — makes first-person recording cleaner for YouTube/TikTok clips
- Various quality-of-life improvements
V1.76 Announced Changes (May 21)
The following items are officially announced for V1.76 — not rumored, not leaked. All four are confirmed from the developer:
- True Cannon Release
- Black Death Release
- Cursed Partners Rework
- Beam Clashing Rework
Release date: May 21, 2026. As of this writing (May 17), no additional patch notes or specifics have been shared beyond these four items. Any claimed "leaked" stats for True Cannon or Black Death damage values should be treated as unverified until the patch drops.
True Cannon: What We Know
True Cannon is an announced moveset or character ability releasing in V1.76. Beyond the name, the developers have not published kit details, damage values, or which character archetype it belongs to as of May 17.
The name suggests a heavy ranged/artillery playstyle — "True Cannon" implies an enhanced or upgraded version of existing cannon mechanics rather than a completely new damage type. We'll have a full breakdown after V1.76 goes live.
Black Death: What We Know
Black Death is announced alongside True Cannon as a new release in V1.76. The name pattern suggests a unique ability or character addition with a dark/curse-type damage archetype. Given JJS's existing kit design, Black Death is likely in the curse-energy damage family, but this is speculation until the patch drops.
Watch the official JJS Discord and social channels on May 21 for the first footage of True Cannon and Black Death in action.
Cursed Partners Rework
The Cursed Partners system (which governs certain character pairings and their combined mechanics) is getting a rework in V1.76. "Rework" in JJS context typically means the underlying numbers and interaction logic are changing, not just surface-level adjustments.
If you're running a build that relies on Cursed Partners synergies, hold off on grinding for specific partner combinations until V1.76 drops and the community stress-tests the new system. Meta builds built around the current Cursed Partners implementation may need adjustment.
Beam Clashing Rework
This is the V1.76 change with the widest potential impact. Beam Clashing is a core combat mechanic in JJS — when two opposing beams collide, the clashing minigame determines which beam wins and deals the damage. A rework of this system (not just tuning) means the rules of that interaction are changing.
What to watch for after the patch:
- Whether beam-based kits increase or decrease in relative strength
- Whether the mashing/timing mechanic in the clash changes
- Whether certain beam types get new advantages in the clash interaction
The Beam Clashing Rework alone makes V1.76 worth paying attention to even if you're not interested in True Cannon or Black Death — it touches every kit that uses beams, which is a large portion of the game's roster.
Current Meta (Pre-V1.76)
Heading into V1.76, the V1.75 additions haven't dramatically shifted the power tier of standard modes — Prison Realm and Soul Swap are separate gamemodes that don't affect the core competitive meta. The emotes are social, the Headcam is for creators. V1.75 was a content patch without meta disruption.
Current meta notes for standard play:
- Beam-heavy builds are strong into V1.75 and will be directly affected by the V1.76 Beam Clashing Rework — don't over-invest in the current meta until you see the rework
- Prison Realm Mode rewards Head of the Hei double-dash proficiency specifically — if you want to compete in that mode, start practicing now
- Soul Swap Mode is the best current environment for expanding your kit knowledge before V1.76's new releases hit
What to Prepare Before V1.76 Drops
- If you run beam-based kits: Log your current performance baseline in standard modes so you can compare after the Beam Clashing Rework. Understand whether the rework helps or hurts your specific style before committing to the new meta.
- Avoid grinding Cursed Partners combinations right now. A rework is incoming — any time invested building around current Cursed Partners mechanics may be partially wasted if the system changes significantly.
- Use Soul Swap Mode to practice kits you've never run. If True Cannon or Black Death fit a playstyle you haven't used before, Soul Swap gives you a way to practice unfamiliar kits before V1.76 introduces new ones.
- Watch the official announcement on May 21 before forming opinions. True Cannon and Black Death are known names only — the actual kits could be wildly different from what the names imply. Wait for patch notes before assigning tier value.
FAQ
When exactly does V1.76 drop on May 21?
The developer has confirmed May 21, 2026 as the release date but no specific time has been announced. JJS updates typically drop in the afternoon/evening UTC — check the official JJS Discord for a more precise window as it gets closer.
Will the Beam Clashing Rework make beam kits worse?
Unknown until the patch drops. "Rework" could mean balance in either direction — the system is changing, not necessarily being nerfed. Wait for V1.76 patch notes before drawing conclusions.
Do I need to spend Robux for True Cannon or Black Death?
No information on pricing or unlock method is currently available. Some JJS content is free through gameplay; some requires game passes. We'll update this guide after May 21 with unlock method details.
What was the last major JJS update before V1.75?
The Prison Realm Domain Clashing guide and various April 2026 balance passes. Check the V1.75 full guide and Domain Clashing guide for the prior meta context.

Steal a Brainrot Update 62 REBIRTH 19 Guide: La Fuse Machine (95M/s Secret), Candini Fluffini (57.5M/s), Grief Shield Gear, the 28th Base Slot & What Actually Changed the Day After Launch (August 16, 2026)
Steal a Brainrot Update 62 — the REBIRTH 19 update — went live on August 15, 2026 and the wiki has now filled in every number. The rebirth wall itself asks for $30 Qa cash and one La Grande Combinasion Secret brainrot and pays back with an x19 income multiplier, a $250T cash bonus, +10 seconds of base-lock time, and the 28th base slot the community has been asking for since Rebirth 17. Two brand-new Secret brainrots hit the RNG Machine: La Fuse Machine ($95M/s income, 35B cost, blocky blue robot with cyan accents, the first brainrot literally themed on one of the game's own machines) and Candini Fluffini ($57.5M/s income, 14B cost, a pastel-blue voxel lamb with an ice-cream cart on its back), both from creator BRAZILIAN SPYDER. The Rebirth 19 gear unlock is the Grief Shield — a one-hit shield that soaks a griefer's slap but explicitly does NOT protect the person you're actively stealing from, which will surprise anyone who thinks they can hoard-run with it. Timers on every Lucky Block are gone, meaning you can pop them the second you buy them, and the new RNG Machine Luck slot exists but is Admin-Abuse only, non-purchaseable. This is the day-after playbook: the honest math on whether Rebirth 19 is worth pushing tonight, the La Fuse Machine vs Candini Fluffini price-per-income breakdown, why the Grief Shield changes early-Rebirth defense but not late-game stealing, and what to hoard before Update 63 lands on August 22.
Grow a Garden Harvest Moon Part 3 Is LIVE: Every Robux Buy-Outright Price, Every Full Craft Recipe & What Bountiful, Threshing, Lunarbound and Starry Pet Mutations Actually Do (August 15, 2026)
Grow a Garden's Harvest Moon Event Part 3 goes live on August 15, 2026, and every number that was TBA in yesterday's preview is now wiki-confirmed. Buy-outright Robux prices are locked in: Starry Strawberry Seed 99, Moonbeam Radar 199, Wheat Crow 289, Wheatcap Seed 199, Harvest Golem 699, Harvest Melon Seed 719. Every crafting recipe has its full ingredient list — Harvest Golem is the recipe that will make veterans blink because it eats a Moon Egg AND a Mythical Egg AND a Burning Bud AND a Romanesco plus 70 Moon Coins, while Harvest Melon requires a Moon Chest on top of three seed ingredients and 120 Moon Coins. And the four new pet mutations finally have their real passive lines filled in: Bountiful is 15% XP + 5–10% Night-fruit duplication (x20 sell), Threshing is 15% passive + 6–12% tool preservation (x30), Lunarbound is 20% XP + 130% size + 2.5–5% Moonbound-on-collect (x50), and Starry is 25% passive + 25% XP + a 20–40s cooldown reduction on a random pet ability every 2–4 minutes for every Starry pet in your garden (x80). This is the launch-day rundown: how the Robux prices actually stack up per hour of grind saved, why Harvest Golem is the ceiling craft that most veterans will chase first, and the honest read on whether the buy-outright button is ever worth it. As someone with thousands of hours in the original Grow a Garden, this is what to do the moment Part 3 loads in.
Grow a Garden Harvest Moon Event Part 3 Launch Guide: Wheat Crow, Harvest Golem, Starry Strawberry, Wheatcap, Harvest Melon & 4 Brand-New Pet Mutations Wiki-Confirmed for August 15 (Preview, August 14, 2026)
Grow a Garden's Harvest Moon Event Part 3 drops on August 15, 2026, and the wiki has now filled in every stat block, crafting recipe, and unlock gate. Two new pets are craftable at the Moon Crafting station — Wheat Crow (Rare, 1,500 hunger, Wheat Flock ability, unlocked after 3 Harvest Moon summons) and Harvest Golem (Mythical, 275,000 hunger, Harvest Smash ability, unlocked after 9 summons). Three new seeds join them: Starry Strawberry (Uncommon, multi-harvest, no gate), Wheatcap (Legendary single-harvest, 6-summon gate) and Harvest Melon (Divine multi-harvest, 12-summon gate). The Moon Machine gets a full drop table too — feed a level 50+ pet in and roll 47.5% Bountiful, 35% Threshing, 15% Lunarbound or 2.5% Starry, with costs from 50 Moon Coins (Common) up to 2,000 Moon Coins (Prismatic) and durations from 5 minutes to 6 hours. This is the launch-eve prep guide: how many summons you actually need to unlock every craftable, what to farm tonight so the 12-summon Harvest Melon gate does not stall you, the honest read on which pet mutation is worth chasing (Starry x80 pet-value is the ceiling but 2.5% is 2.5%), and why the Robux skip prices — 299 to skip a summon, 39 to skip a craft, up to 199 to skip a mutation cycle — are structured to punish players who did not pre-farm. As someone with thousands of hours in the original Grow a Garden, this is what to do with your fruits, Moon Coins and level-50 pets in the hours before Part 3 lands.
