Classic Competitive S9 Offseason is LIVE! Quests are BACK, Tower Mode is LIVE, and the end-of-season tournaments are starting soon. The arena is calling each and every Lunacian to battle it out or watch the livestreams as we wrap up our ninth season together. Here’s what’s happening:
Quests are BACK!
Classic quests are a great way for ANYONE to earn rewards. These short challenges are tailored to each player’s skill level, and you can earn Dust or Gold by completing them. If you’re new to Classic, check out Starter Mode. If you’re a veteran, head over to Guardian Mode. Everyone who finishes a quest will earn Dust rewards.
Tower Mode is BACK!
In Tower Mode, your mission — should you choose to accept it — is to defeat your enemies on each floor and climb to the top. This is a PvE game mode, and each floor has its own difficulty level. Jump into Tower Mode during the Competitive S9 Offseason to sharpen your skills in the arena!

Lunacian Standoff
The Lunacian Standoff pits the Top 17-300 players against each other for an 800 AXS prize pool. Stay tuned for more into including the date, time, and rules.
Bug Fixes and Improvements
Improved: The “Morale+/-” effect now influences critical damage calculation by increasing or decreasing the critical damage bonus.
Fixed: If a non-Aquatic Axie uses "Fish Hook" (or a non-Plant Axie from the "Bamboo Clan" at level 2), it will no longer count itself—only alive, non-Aquatic teammates will be considered.
Fixed: If Axie A uses “Swallow” (level 2) to attack Axie B, who has used Bulkwalk, the reflected damage dealt to Axie A will now correctly damage shield first.
Fixed: Resolved an issue where an Axie would enter Last Stand after being hit by Anemone's effect damage before card damage. Now, if the card damage kills the opponent, the Anemone effect will not trigger on the attacking Axie.
Fixed: Adjusted the card “Why So Serious” (Level 2) to its correct card description from 55 shield to 35 shield, and from 95 damage to 90 damage.
Improved: Updated the description of “Sugar Rush” (Level 1) to: “Apply Attack- for 1 turn and Aroma to self until the next round.”
Improved: All accessories, including Nightmare accessories, are now visible during battle.
Fixed: Resolved an issue where purchasing in Goda Morning did not correctly estimate the network fee.
Final Thoughts
Classic Competitive S9 marks the debut of Level 2 cards in the Season Championship and Guild Wars. That means Nightmare parts can enter the arena! We’re excited to see how Lunacians strategize, and which metas emerge. Let’s keep pushing.
