These eight players earned their seats through the Season Championships and Arena Leaderboards:

• Season 16: Anzooo and Mitsuya

• Season 15: Eshaz and JL

• Season 14: Pau and Nerraw

• Season 13: Chan and Mark

• Match 2: JL vs. Pau

• Match 3: Mitsuya vs. Chan

Tournament Format and Rules

The Invitational uses a double-elimination bracket. A loss in the Upper Bracket sends a player to the Lower Bracket, where they can still fight their way to the Grand Finals.

Axie rosters and bans

Each player submits 10 Axies before the tournament. Before each match, each player bans 3 of their opponent’s Axies. Artifacts are allowed.

Match format

All matches before the Grand Finals are best-of-5.

The Grand Finals are best-of-7. The player advancing from the Upper Bracket starts the series with a 1-0 advantage.

5,000 bAXS Prize Pool

Every competitor takes home a share based on their final placement:

• 1st: 2,100 bAXS

• 2nd: 1,200 bAXS

• 3rd: 700 bAXS

• 4th: 400 bAXS

• 5th–6th: 200 bAXS each

• 7th–8th: 100 bAXS each

Who Will Take the Crown?

An Arena climb earns a seat. A tournament run earns the title.

This is Classic’s last offseason under Sky Mavis. The competitive season wrapped. The grind continues here. Complete quests and climb Tower Mode for rewards while the Top 16 finishers battle for the crown at the Season Championship. Here’s everything live right now.

Play Classic

Quests and Tower Mode Are Open

Finish skill-based quests for Dust or Gold. Or push through Tower Mode, a PvE climb where each floor hits harder than the last. Both are open to every player, no leaderboard spot required.

Season Championship: Sept 19–20

The offseason ends with the Season Championship, a closed bracket for the Top 16 finishers from the S16 Arena Leaderboard.

• When: Sept 19 & 20, 6 PM PH / 6 AM EST

• Prize pool: 3,000 bAXS

• Format: 10-axie pool, 3 bans. Artifacts and Gear allowed, no caps.

• Restriction: No two axies can share 4 of the same parts (mouth, horn, back, tail), regardless of class or part level.

Competitive Circuit Update

Congrats to Mitsuya for claiming first place on the Arena Leaderboard.

The Champions Invitational has eight seats. Four go to each season’s Top 1 Leaderboard finisher. Four go to each Season Championship winner.

This season’s Championship winner claims the eighth seat.

Note: the Classic Champions Invitational runs next Sunday, Sept 27. Details will be shared soon.

Looking Beyond This Offseason

We named Season 16 the final competitive season under Sky Mavis’s direct structure. This offseason is what’s left: one more Championship and one more Invitational, both ours to run before we step back.

Axie Governance already formed CORC, the Classic Origins Resurrection Committee, to take the game beyond Sky Mavis. Funding comes from the ecosystem fund for now, then shifts to the Community Treasury over time. The last piece is the legal groundwork to hand over the IP and infrastructure. Once that closes, the transition begins.

Classic’s next chapter belongs to the community. We’ll keep sharing as it moves forward.

Key Points

• A new goal for every run. Fight through nine dungeon floors, build your Talents, and face Kilnbane on floor 10. Keys now cost $1, down from $2. Every treasure earned counts toward USDC rewards.

• $6,000+ in launch prizes. Collect Shards to compete for a $5,000 leaderboard pool and enter raffles for Axie Land items, Ronke PFPs, and RONKE rewards. Beat Kilnbane for a chance to claim the Throne and unlock the Stella skin.

• More Bounty Board points. DoM quests now award more points at every tier.
  

Play Axie: DoM

Axie: Den of Mysteries 2.0 is LIVE!

The Den is open, and it plays nothing like it used to.

Onchain Heroes rebuilt Den of Mysteries from the ground up for better accessibility and replayability. DoM 1.0 laid the foundation for risk-to-earn dungeon crawling. DoM 2.0 gives you a boss to beat, a build to grow, and a Throne to claim.

Here’s what’s new:

What is DoM 2.0

DoM 2.0 is a turn-based roguelike dungeon crawler. All you need is a Ronin Wallet. No Axie required, nothing to mint, so anyone can jump straight in.

Log in and you arrive in the Lobby, a shared hub where you can chat with other players, show off your skins, and reach every feature in the game. Head to the stone portal when you’re ready to run.

Each run spans 10 floors: nine procedurally generated floors across distinct biomes, then Kilnbane’s arena on floor 10. Collect Treasure on the way down. It sets your cut of the Weekly Prize Pool, and Kilnbane’s chest holds a shot at instant rewards.

Keys are your entry ticket, now $1 each, down from $2. Buy them with USDC, RON, WETH, or AXS.

One Key starts a run, and you can spend up to 100. Using more Keys multiplies your Treasure yield and your Blessing payouts, and raises your chance of winning the Throne. A run that collects 100 Treasure on 1 Key collects 500 Treasure on 5 Keys.

More Keys = More Loot.

How to get started

Step 1: Connect your Ronin Wallet at axiedom.xyz.

Step 2: Buy Keys with USDC, RON, WETH, or AXS.

Step 3: Enter the Den and fight toward the final boss floor.

Step 4: Level up and build your Talents.

Step 5: Claim Blessings instantly, or your share of the Weekly Prize Pool at reset.

A run takes about 10-15 minutes. Playable on both desktop and mobile.

Rewards and Economy

Every Key spent on a run funds three separate pools:

• Weekly Prize Pool (70%): paid out in USDC based on your Treasure haul for the week. The pool grows all week and settles at the Thursday 4:00 PM UTC reset.

• Blessings Pool (18%): instant USDC payouts from Kilnbane’s chest.

• Throne (5%): a progressive bounty pool that rolls when you defeat Kilnbane and finish the run. The winner takes 80% of the pool, and the remaining 20% seeds the next Throne.

The other 7% supports ongoing development of DoM.

Blessing Gems

Defeating Kilnbane gives you a 12% chance at a Blessing Gem. Cut it after your run to reveal a multiplier from 0.5x to 21x, applied to your Key buy-in.

Payouts scale with the Keys you spent, up to 100 per run:

E.g. A 100-Key buy-in on a 21x cut pays 2,100 USDC.

How to win the Stella skin: The Throne

Stella is the rarest reward in DoM, and the Throne is the only way to get her. Here’s the full path:

1. Reach floor 10 and defeat Kilnbane.

2. Finish the run. Leave the boss lair to lock it in. Runs left open at the Thursday 4:00 PM UTC reset skip the Throne roll.

3. Win the roll. Every completed Full Clear triggers one roll for the Throne. Hit it, and you take 80% of the Throne pool plus the soulbound Stella skin.

Your odds climb with the Keys you ran and the size of the pool. On a $2,500 Throne, a 1-Key run gives you about 1 in 2,000, while a 100-Key run gives you 1 in 20. Push the pool to $3,750, and that 100-Key run becomes 1 in 13.

Every $250 in the pool adds another 0.005% per Key to your chance. The longer the Throne goes unclaimed, the hotter it gets. For the full odds table, check the whitepaper.

The Launch Event: $6,000+ up for grabs

The DoM: Reborn Launch Event runs September 10 to October 22, 2026, opening and closing at 4:00 PM UTC.

There are two ways to compete.

Collect Shards for the $5,000 leaderboard

• $5,000 ($2,500 in USDC + $2,500 in AXS): split between the top 100 players who hold the most Shards at the end of the event, with higher ranks earning a larger share.

• Shards drop from mobs on floors 1-8, and your total multiplies with the Keys you ran.

• Shards are uncapped, and all six weeks add up into one cumulative leaderboard.

Beat Kilnbane for raffle tickets

• Kilnbane’s chest drops one raffle ticket for every Key you ran.

• Take your tickets to the Raffle Board in the Lobby to enter a draw. Tickets sitting in your inventory stay out of the running.

• Raffles run every other week for various prizes, including:

  • $500 worth of Axie Land items

  • 15 Ronke PFPs

  • $500 worth of RONKE rewards

Three draws run over the event, on September 24, October 8, and October 22, with 5 winners each. Winners are announced on the Axie: Den of Mysteries X account.

Play Axie: DoM

Build your way to Kilnbane

You start each run with 100 Stamina. Moving costs one Stamina; attacking costs none. Read enemy attack patterns, dodge their hits, and find your opening.

Defeat enemies and collect orbs to level up. Each level boosts your stats and restores 10 Stamina. Choose five Talents during levels 1–5, then strengthen your build with Enhancements as you progress.

Defeat Kilnbane or run out of Stamina, and your run ends. The loot you collected is yours to keep.

You can pause mid-run and pick it back up any time before the weekly reset. Anything still open at Thursday 4:00 PM UTC finalizes automatically, forfeits uncut Blessing Gems, and skips the Throne roll.

During the 6-week launch event, defeating Kilnbane also drops raffle tickets.

Levels and Talents

Defeat mobs and grab orbs to earn XP. Every level raises your base stats and restores 10 Stamina on the spot, up to the cap at level 15.

You have 5 Talent slots. Levels 1 through 5 each offer 3 Talents to choose from, and you can reroll the options for a Treasure cost. From level 6, Enhancements start appearing so you can power up the Talents you already hold, twice each at most.

The Unknown Trainer spawns on floors 5 through 9, more often the deeper you go. Pay him 20 Stamina, and he swaps one Talent for a fresh roll, with better rarity odds the further down you are.

Items

You can carry 3 at a time. Buy them from the Armory or pull them from breakables on floors 4 through 9. Every Item is active, so you decide when to trigger it.

A few worth hunting: Midas Touch turns an enemy into a statue you shatter for 150 Treasure. Escape Rope pulls you out of a bad floor into a safe Special Room. Decoy drops a lure the whole swarm chases while you work. Pocket Portal teleports you to another room on the floor.

Check the whitepaper for the full roster.

Special Rooms

Every floor from 1 to 9 has a staircase down. Clear enemies for a chance at Special Stairs instead, and the more you clear, the better your odds.

They open one of two rooms:

• The Shrine: trades Treasure for 20 Stamina, at a price that climbs with each heal.

• The Armory: sells Items off tiered pedestals.

After floor 9, everyone stops at The Sanctum: four Item pedestals and two healing fountains. Your last chance to gear up before Kilnbane.

For the full breakdown of gameplay, mechanics, and rewards, read the official whitepaper.

Bounty Board quests got a points boost

DoM quests on the Bounty Board are getting a points boost. Every tier pays more now, making the quests worth the risk and the leaderboard easier to climb.

• Complete a run (Basic): 15 → 60

• Break 5 pots/crates (Basic): 15 → 60

• Reach Floor 3 (Intermediate): 100 → 330

• Defeat a mimic (Intermediate): 80 → 330

• Defeat 20 enemies (Advanced): 400 → 1,020

• Earn 500 treasure in a single run (Advanced): 450 → 1,020

• Earn 1,000 treasure in a single run (Master): 900 → 3,000

• Reach Floor 7 once (Master): 850 → 3,000

Play DoM, complete bounties, and climb the leaderboard. Earn bAXS from the Bounty Board on top of your share of the DoM Weekly Prize Pool.

Key Points

• The recent playtest proved that Atia’s Legacy’s core loop works. Playtesters rated the art, gameplay, and accessibility high. Thank you for your positive feedback!

• The next playtest will be mobile-first and focus on the end game. Think Risk-to-Earn elements, Guild Warfare, and the longer-term loop that makes MMOs great. The team is also exploring skill-based systems that make ownership meaningful.

• Target for Playtest 2 is mid to late Q1 2026. There may also be smaller, exclusive closed playtests in the meantime. Stay tuned for more details!

Earlier this week, the Atia’s Legacy team hosted an AMA in the Axie Discord. They discussed feedback from Playtest 1, the next steps towards Playtest 2, and what they’re focused on building. Here’s a recap of that AMA:

Playtest 1: What worked well

Cruise opened the AMA by asking whether the first playtest answered the question:

“Can this be fun without an economy?”

According to player feedback, the answer is YES. From visuals to retention, the team was encouraged by these results. Here’s what we found:

First, the art style was a hit. Players resonated with Atia’s Legacy’s warm and mobile-friendly art direction. It created immediate appeal beyond the Web3-native crowd, with testers commenting that they could “show this to their kids” or “convince friends to try it.”

Second, the mobile-first element worked better than expected. ****While PC MMOs dominate the genre, it’s rare for teams to attempt mobile-first design for deep systems. It was a test for our teams: Can a complex, persistent game work elegantly on smaller screens? It did, which opens the door to reaching audiences far beyond the current Axie player base.

Third, gameplay retention was strong. ****Even without tokens or on-chain loops, players kept coming back. Many clocked multiple hours daily across the test period. “We were worried people might play for 40 seconds and drop off,” Cruise said. “Instead, they stayed for hours.”

That simple data point told the team that the foundation — combat, progression, and vibe — was strong enough to sustain fun on its own.

Players also asked for more room for depth. They wanted more ways to express skill, mastery, and personality. The most common feedback centered on:

• More interactive, timing-based combat.

• Expanded progression and crafting systems.

• More of the world’s mysterious character Tripp, who became a fan favorite.

What will Playtest 2 focus on?

The next playtest will look to validate the endgame. Cruise describes it as:

“A thousand-hour gameplay loop — something that’s still fun for your 200th hour, not just your second.”

The goal is to answer a core MMO question early: what happens when players reach the top?

Designing for the End Game

The team wants to build backward from the endgame down instead of starting with early-level content. This approach avoids a trap many MMOs fall into: Building a long grind that collapses once players hit level cap.

The pillars of Playtest 2 are:

1. Sustainability: Ensuring long-term gameplay loops have purpose and reward

2. Risk and emotion: Adding stakes that make victories matter

3. Community collaboration: Validating guild, PvP, and cooperative systems before expanding the world

4. Controlled scope: Focusing on smaller, testable zones rather than empty large maps

“We don’t want to disappear for a year and return with a full MMO,” Cruise explained. “We want to validate the big ideas fast, with the community’s hands on it.”

Introducing Risk-to-Earn and Skill-to-Earn

A major theme of Playtest 2 is introducing meaningful risk. This is not about speculation or yield farming, but rather actual stakes inside gameplay.

The team envisions scenarios where players wager something real like items, materials, or even an Axie’s condition in competitive or cooperative battles. It’s an idea rooted in the core of blockchain gaming: True ownership comes with true risk.

“If there’s nothing on the line, excitement caps at five out of ten,” Cruise said. “When your Axie could fall in battle or your gear could break, the tension turns up to ten.”

The design philosophy is “skill to earn.” Think outcomes driven by ability, not spreadsheets.

Atia’s Legacy will include guardrails like insurance or recovery systems so players can choose their own comfort level. Those who crave adrenaline can push all-in, while others can play safer but slower.

This approach isn’t new. Games like EVE Online and Runescape’s Wilderness have done it. However, Web3 ownership gives it real weight. Losing gear means it’s gone, and winning means you earn something real.

Social warfare and Guild Meta Details

If Playtest 1 was about “how it feels to fight,” Playtest 2 is about why you fight and who you fight with. The team’s long-term vision draws heavy inspiration from EVE Online’s legendary player-driven wars.

Shade elaborated:

“In EVE, companies fight over resources and destroy ships worth thousands of dollars. That scale of social warfare is something we want to channel — but through Axie’s world and IP.”

The Guild-Driven Economy

Guilds will become more than social groups — they’ll drive the economy itself. Fighters, crafters, miners, and traders will all contribute differently, but everyone’s effort ties back to a shared goal: collective power and prestige.

This means:

• Coordinated resource gathering

• Guild raids and territory battles with real risk and rewards

• Opportunities for non-combatant players to contribute meaningfully

Cruise explained:

“You might not be the one swinging the sword. Maybe you’re the one forging it, or fishing up materials that fund it. Either way, you’re part of the same story.”

The team calls this the social warfare layer. It’s the living ecosystem that connects competitive, cooperative, and economic play into one loop.

One Axie economy, many ways to play

A major theme of the AMA was interconnection.

Atia’s Legacy isn’t a siloed MMO — it’s a node in a broader Axie network.

Axie Core, App.Axie, and Legacy are being designed as complementary experiences sharing assets, players, and economic logic.

Shade summed it up:

“In EVE Online, all professions exist in one game client. In Axie, blockchain lets us spread those professions across different worlds — all feeding the same economy.”

What that means in practice

• Players may be able to gather or craft in various Axie experiences, breed or release in App.Axie, and then use or trade those resources in Atia’s Legacy

• Even players who never touch combat can help power guilds and economies

• This unified system creates a sense that the entire Axie universe is one living MMO

What about the Economy, Sinks, and Sustainability?

Burn mechanisms are often controversial in Web3 games, but Atia’s Legacy aims to make them feel natural and exciting.

For example, when players die in high-stakes content, a portion of their gear or materials may be destroyed or claimed by others. These organic burns help regulate supply and keep the in-game economy balanced without arbitrary sinks.

“When risk meets emotion,” Cruise explained, “players burn more items and tokens organically than any forced system could ever achieve.”

Crafting → Connection

The MMO framework also enables horizontal complexity with more roles and interdependence.

For example, to craft a high-tier weapon you might need:

• Ore from a miner

• Fish oil from a fisher

• And rare pelts from a hunter

No single player can do it all, so trade and cooperation become necessary, fueling the player-to-player market.

This layered economy design aims to make both the high-end risk players and the casual crafters essential to each other. This is an important step towards long-term sustainability.

Combat, Squads, and Axie Identity

One of Playtest 2’s biggest upgrades will be party-based combat. Instead of solo encounters, players will be able to form squads of 3–5, each fulfilling distinct roles like tank, DPS, support, or hybrid.

Our teams are already testing variations to make it visually clean, strategically deep, and rewarding whether you play alone or cooperatively.

They’re looking at:

• Hitboxes and movement speed for dynamic play

• Camera angles for visibility in crowded fights

• Skill cooldowns and synergy systems to make teamwork meaningful

The goal is to keep combat fun, readable, and skillful. Not just another flashy auto-battle.

Parts, weapons, and class balance

Playtest 1 tied abilities to weapons, but some players missed the sense of identity from owning Axies with unique body parts.

Cruise acknowledged this and described a coming rebalance:

“We’re finding the sweet spot where parts, gear, and class all matter — and complement each other.”

This will be an ongoing tuning process rather than a one-time fix.

Over time, owning a rare Axie should feel both aesthetic and strategic again.

Land Utility: Building Toward the Big Picture

Land remains one of Axie’s most exciting long-term pillars, and the team reiterated it hasn’t been forgotten. Playtest 2 and 3 won’t include land, but experiments are already happening on App.Axie to explore ideas like:

• Player-generated dungeons tied to land plots

• Territory systems where guilds compete for control

• Shared resource economies where land produces materials used in Atia’s Legacy

Shade framed it simply:

“We’d rather validate land through smaller experiments first than bake it into Legacy before we know it’s fun.”

When it does arrive, land will be an integral piece of Axie’s cross-world ecosystem. A home base for both adventurers and builders.

Access, platforms, and performance

Accessibility was another hot topic.

• Access: Playtest 2 won’t be Mystic-only. More players and NFT collections will be invited to ensure broader testing data and community diversity

• Mobile-first: The game is designed for phones first and foremost, not as a downscaled PC port. This ensures smooth play across regions with different hardware access

• PC options: Internal Mac and PC builds exist. A public PC version might launch if demand justifies it, but the core focus will remain on mobile usability

• Controller support: Official controller integration will come later once gameplay stabilizes

• Performance settings: Options like resolution scaling and frame-rate optimization are being explored to help reduce phone overheating (a running joke during the AMA)

Timeline and what’s next

The team is currently targeting mid to late Q1 2026 for the next playtest. Unlike the first build, Playtest 2 won’t start from scratch, It builds on proven foundations, with the focus now on validating the endgame, guild systems, and the risk loop.

Cruise dropped a small teaser before signing off:

“We’re integrating the next big boss for Playtest 2. It’s not another peacock — it’s going to be sick.”

🗣️ Community Q&A Highlights

As always, the AMA wrapped up with rapid-fire questions from the community covering everything from gameplay balance to accessibility. Here’s a detailed breakdown of what the team shared.

🧬 Will parts and classes matter more?

Yes, but they’ll have a progressive rollout.

In Playtest 1, combat power mainly came from weapons rather than Axie body parts. This left some players feeling their unique Axies were less special. The team heard that loud and clear.

Cruise explained that Playtest 2 will stay focused on validating the endgame rather than adding dozens of new abilities, but the long-term vision is clear:

• Parts and classes will be important

• Balance tuning between parts, gear, and skills will be ongoing

• The goal is to avoid the “only one system matters” trap seen in earlier Axie titles

🕊️ Will there be experiences for casual players?

Yes.

Atia’s Legacy is being designed to welcome both endgame raiders and casual explorers. The team confirmed that lighter, “lifestyle” activities such as fishing, crafting, farming, or homesteading will exist alongside hardcore combat.

Even if you never enter a risky dungeon, the things you create or gather will still feed into the same economy. For example, a fisher’s catch, a farmer’s crop, or a crafter’s materials might directly support a guild’s next war.

Game Mode Adjustments

We made two key adjustments in Origins to uphold the value of AXP and respond to player feedback. Here’s what’s new:

First, we’ve removed AXP earning from Arcade Mode. This is because multiple players and bots were taking advantage of the game mode to farm AXP without participating in battles. AXP is a key pillar of Ascension and Part Evolution, and exploits like these can dilute other Lunacians’ achievements.

Second, we’ve disabled Gauntlet Mode and added new boxes as well as Morph Tickets to the Check-In Shop. This enables our teams to better focus our development efforts while continuing to recognize players’ in-game progression. Here’s what’s new in the Check-In Shop:

Rune & Charm packs Update

• Pack 1: 20 Basic points, start at Rare Era, Limit: 3 (2 → 3)

Addition: 1 Rare Rune choice box, 1 Rare Charm choice box

• Pack 2: 100 Basic points, start at Epic Era, Limit: 3 (2 → 3)

Mini-Tournament, Guild Milestone, and Lunacian Standoff Updates

These updates will free up about 8,900 AXS, which we’ll reallocate to the Arena and Guild Leaderboards. This will ensure fairer distribution of rewards for players.

• Guild Milestones: Removed 2,500 AXS

• Lunacian Standoff: Removed 800 AXS

• Mini Tournament: Adjusted to 500 AXS/day from 700 AXS/day (total of 14,000 over 28 days)

This will increase the Guild Leaderboard prize pool to 14,500 AXS. We’ve also built a new Arena Leaderboard loaded with 4,500 AXS in rewards. More details below!

What’s new on the Guild Leaderboard?

The Guild Leaderboard will expand from 20 to 30 guilds! This will give more guilds more opportunities to earn from the increased 14,500 AXS prize pool. We’re looking forward to even more competitive guild gameplay!

Introducing the Arena Leaderboard

What is Classic without an Arena Leaderboard? This new and experimental Arena Leaderboard will reward the Top 100 individual players in ranked play. The total prize pool is 4,500 AXS! We’re doing this to make sure individual and guild-based achievements get the recognition they deserve.

Remember: This leaderboard is experimental. We’ll monitor data and community feedback closely and make adjustments as needed.

Premium Battle Pass Removal

We’ve removed the Premium Battle Pass this season, and shipped updates to the Free Battle Pass. These updates will enable players to earn up to 4,000 Dust throughout the season! However, all quests will reward the same amount of Dust to players this offseason season. For example, a quest that granted 500 Dust will only give out 500 Dust. No more doubled rewards, unlike previous offseason.

Competitive Circuit Update

Axie Classic Competitive Season 12 will mark the final season of the first Competitive Circuit leading up to the World Cup. Thank you to every Lunacian who has been on this journey with us. We’re hosting a series of tournaments during the Season 12 offseason to give competitive players more opportunities to showcase their skills and stay sharp before the next phase of Classic’s competitive journey.
