Updating or not - Android playability

Genuine question; I am on Android and have not updated as war and AQ are on and I can't risk not being able to parry, dex or block.

Is there a time limit that we can go without updating before we are forced to?

If we don't update, presumably it is only the monthly Event quests and side quests we miss out on and that it does not impact enrolling in AQ and war?

It would be great to have some insights here on how Android users can stay on the current version and then in turn, what that means in terms of ongoing game access and associated limitations, if any.

(I have no interest in the two new characters, so assuming/hoping it's only the monthly EQ and SQ rewards I'd be missing out on)

    i think some of the older phones with lower fps or something may not have been affected.
    I have the issues though, and i reverted to an older version so that i can actually play.

    I've been playing on Android for a few yrs, right now my current phone is a samsung galaxy S10. This latest update has made the game really hard to play. Dex/parry not working and so you are thinking that parry proced or dashed back to evade a hit, then immediately taking a 5 hit combo to the face.

    I have updated and the game is unplayable. Not even block works, can't activate special attacks. I have played this game on Android since the first time they released a character through arenas and I have never seen it worse. There is no point in playing anymore if you can't even attack or defend.

    I have OnePlus 7 pro and for the game is running silky smooth.
    I am not facing any issue.

    Edit- Maybe you guys should buy a better phone!

    Any time I've tried (usually unintentionally, in a wifi-free environment), you need to update after a couple of days at most.

    Tbh, I haven't found it anything like as bad as people are posting. Timing is a little off; and a few dropped swipes here and there. Definitely don't update as long as you can; but when you do, it might not be as bad as you think.
