Season 9 Collectible Ticket Rewards
We will distribute the rewards for the collectible tickets you earned from Rare to Mystic Eras soon. Remember that the amount of collectible tickets depends on the tier of the Collectible Chest you received. Collectible tickets determine your AXS distribution from the 7,000 AXS prize pool. More tickets mean larger rewards.
Here's the breakdown of how many collectible tickets were issued this season:
Total Reward Pool: 7,000 AXS
Total Collectible Tickets issued: 11,483,625
Value of 1 Collectible Ticket: 0.6093 mAXS
Note: The Collectible Tickets are convertible to mAXS based on the value mentioned above. Players will be able to claim the respective AXS in app.axie soon.
Offseason Collectible Leaderboard
Lunacia, the Offseason Leaderboard is coming back next week with the S10 Preseason launch! Enter the arena with your collectible axies to earn points and climb the ranks. Don't miss this chance for your collectible axies to shine and claim your share of the bounty. Get ready to battle and prove your worth in the offseason showdown! Collectible axies will be even fiercer in the arena with morphed parts, making this collectible leaderboard the most exciting yet!
Note: You must be in the Boar rank or higher in order to start earning points.
Here’s how it works:
Rank Based Points
Boar : 1
Wolf : 2
Bear : 4
Tiger : 8
Dragon : 16
Challenger : 32
Collectible Axie Point Multiplier
Mystic: 3x
Origin: 1.5x
MEO/Japanese/Xmas/Shiny: 0.75x
Example
A Challenger Ranked player has 1 Mystic, 1 Origin, and 1 Xmas Axie in their team:
Challenger Rank = 32 Points
Collection Bonus = 1 + 3 + 1.5 + 0.75 = 6.25
Base = 1
Mystic = 3
Origin = 1.5
Xmas = 0.75
Total Points = 32 x 6.25 = 200
Balancing Updates
As Season 9 Postseason wraps up next week, we're gearing up for another balancing patch. At the start of Season 10 Preseason, we’ll fine-tune stats and game mechanics to keep the competition fierce and fresh. We're eager for your feedback on these changes. We’ll release the changelog once Elite 8 concludes.
Take note that when S10 Preseason begins, we will disable all S9 Runes and Charms effects. You will be able to grab S9.5 R/C packs at the shop for free. These R/C packs will have S10 effects. S10 Preseason will also feature an era-based R/C testing. Rare S9.5 R/C will be available in the shop during the launch of the Preseason. Epic and Mystic R/C will follow. Here's the S10 Preseason R/C unlock schedule:
August 7th: Unlock S9.5 Rare R/C
August 14th: S9.5 Epic R/C
August 21st: S9.5 Mystic R/C
Introducing Origins Roguelike
A groundbreaking PvE experience is coming to Origins during next week’s S10 Preseason! Roguelike is a new game mode where you’ll guide your team of axies through a perilous landscape and face waves of chimeras in intense battles. Yes, chimeras! Earn AXP, Honour Medals, and even Roguelike Tickets by emerging victorious against every axies’ most famous enemy. However, there’s a catch: your axies’ health won’t reset after each match. How long can you last?
Check out the details on the reveal page linked below.
When Origins Roguelike launches during the S10 Preseason, it will be in its early stage of development. It's your chance to help shape the future of Origins PvE. Your feedback will be a key ingredient as we improve and craft an even more thrilling version after this test release.
Get Ready for Meta Morph
Attention collectible axie holders! Meta Morph is coming to Lunacia during the S10 Preseason. Meta Morph lets you morph collectible axie cards into other cards that you own. We know players will use this superpower to stay ahead of the meta. Here are some key details about the feature:
Meta Morph is an exclusive feature for collectible axies.
The higher the collectible tier, the more parts you can morph.
Transform base cards into morphed cards. After taking in user feedback from the initial leeks, we will implement morph parts being visually changed once battle begins.
Meta Morph will require in-game currency (SLP) and Class Badges gathered from gameplay.
You can replace or revert morphed parts at any time.
New Starter Axies: Hope and Shillin
Season 10 Preseason welcomes two fierce underdogs to the arena! Welcome Hope and Shillin.
Hope’s greatest advantage is that he looks like a little ball of fluff. Opponents both on the battlefield and in the arena immediately write him off as an axie not to be threatened by. Hope might have a naturally sad look to him, but he is a loyal teammate and is always willing to put himself between his friends and the enemy, buffing their rage! His internal optimism always brings up the team’s spirits even in the darkest times. When not facing opponents in the arena, you can find Hope relaxing in the bath—more bubbles more better!
Shilin was a very brainy child. Forever tinkering, taking apart machines and putting them back together—toasters, radios, engines, anything he could get his hands on. (This made his parents crazy!) Because of his quiet disposition and love for reading mechanical manuals, the other axie children never picked him in team sports and bullies never saw him as a threat. Little did they understand how the brainiac Shilin’s skills would transfer to battle. His engineering knowledge makes him great at crafting unique weapons, leading to the destruction of innumerable chimera! In the arena, Shilin can analyze opponents, identifying the weak point of any shield, and destroy it in the blink of an eye!
Note: The cards, runes and charms for these axies will be revealed along with the S10 Balance Patch later.
Final Thoughts
Origin's future shines bright as another season winds down. Season Alpha feels like just yesterday. Now, we're gearing up for the 10th season! New features such as Roguelike Mode and Meta Morph loom on the horizon. Fresh adventures await. New challenges are calling. Are you ready? See you in the arena ⚔️
