The current Atlas Celestial Rift Season ends on Wednesday, June 16th, 2021 at 2PM PT. All prizes must be claimed by then, as Atlas Celestial Rift Badges will not be usable in future seasons. The Atlas Aftermath Season will arrive the following day, June 17th. Teamwork will be of utmost importance as always, so gather the troops and set the skies for battle!

ATLAS SEASON MAINTENANCE

There will be a small period of time where access to Atlas will be blocked on Thursday, June 17th, in order to prepare for the Atlas Aftermath Season's launch.

BUFFED DROPS!

We’re pleased to announce that Atlas Chest drops, starting with the Aftermath Atlas season’s launch, will be increased. The changes are as follows:

This should all add up to over 3x Rider Shards, 3x Gold, and 3x Bullhorns!

EARN MORE MYTHIC TIER GEAR

More Mythic Gear is coming with the Atlas Aftermath Season! Individual Mythic Gear pieces will need to be leveled up to level 10 to get the full Attack and HP benefits. Remember, that Mythic Gear is exclusive to Atlas Seasons.

CASTLE OWNERSHIP-BASED LEADERBOARD

Rounds and Scoring The entire Atlas Aftermath Season will be made up of two-week rounds. At the end of each two-week round, the Leaderboard will update with Victory Points earned by each team based on the top 20 most valuable castles they own at that time.

Victory Points

• At the start of each two-week round, each castle will start with some Victory Points based on region/castle level.
• Higher level castles are worth more Victory Points.
• Every time that castle is conquered during the round, its current Victory Point value is reduced by 10% i.e. 100, 90, 81, 73, 66, 59, 53, etc.
• Defending your castles from conquerors is the best way to earn the most Victory Points for castles you own at the end of each round.
• Alternatively, seek out and conquer the castles of teams that threaten your team’s rank to reduce their Victory Point potential.
• A castle’s Victory Point value will not recover until it resets to full at the start of each two-week round.
• A castle’s Victory Point value is visible to all Atlas players (not hidden by Fog of War).

Example: Castle X, owned by Team A, is worth 50,000 VP at the beginning of Round 1. It is conquered by Team B, and then conquered back by Team A. Round 1 ends and Team A earns 40,500 VP for this castle. Once Round 2 begins, Castle X returns to being worth 50,000 VP.

Tiebreakers In case of a tie, all tied teams get the best prize in that range. For example, if prizes are 500, 400, 300, 200, and 100 and the top scores are 1000, 1000, 800, 800, 500. First and second teams would get 500, third and fourth teams would get 3rd and 300, and fifth team would get 100.
