The current Atlas Strange Lands Season ends on Wednesday, December 15, 2021 at 2PM PT. All prizes must be claimed by then, as Atlas Strange Lands Badges will not be usable in future seasons. The Atlas Frozen Chaos Season will arrive the following day, December 16. Teamwork will be of utmost importance as always, so gather the troops and set the skies for battle!

In addition, as a test, we’re making Atlas available to more teams in the game. This season, teams in leagues Gold 1 and above will be able to access Atlas. The Frozen Chaos season will bring in new blood and new competition!

EXOTIC GEAR IS BACK

In Strange Lands, we introduced Exotic Gear so that Dragon Lords can equip unique battle effects to rider gear. Since we saw these utilized by many players, this season we’ll be introducing 2 new pieces: Ring of Mortal Wounds and Helm of Defense. We’re also bringing back Sword of Healing and Shield of Rage, so players can claim an additional element type. Don’t miss out on these Exotic Gear pieces! They’ll help your dragons dominate the skies!

Exotic Gear branch

• Opens after completing all 4 elite gear branches
• Contains 4 Exotic Gear pieces
  • Offensive Sword of Healing that provides health to the dragon whenever a tower is destroyed (2% per tower at max level)
  • Offensive Shield of Rage that grants rage to the dragon whenever a tower is destroyed (.1 rage bar per tower at max level)
  • Offensive Ring of Mortal Wounds that reduces healing on towers hit by the dragon’s basic attack by 20% at max level
  • Defensive Helm of Defense that grants 2 extra supershots when actively defending a base
  • Exotic Gear also provides the base stat bonuses of mythic tier gear.

ATLAS RIDER BRANCH

The Atlas Rider Branch must be completed to open the new Atlas Champion Rider branch. We have added selectable prizes at all blue shard nodes. Players that already have this season’s Atlas Champion Rider and a sufficient stockpile of blue rider shards can now choose gold packs instead of blue shards.

ATLAS CHAMPION RIDER TANOK

The Altas Frozen Chaos season will now feature a new Atlas Champion Rider Branch and a new rider with Champion Rider levels. Tanok is the first Atlas Champion Rider

• Champion Rider Branch is unlocked by completing the Atlas Rider Branch, which provides Altas Champion Rider Shards
• Tanok is the first Atlas Champion Rider
  • Tanok was first released in 2018
  • Tanok rider shards are available as an alternate prize in the Atlas Rider Branch for those who do not have Tanok yet
  • Tanok Rider shards are only available in the Atlas Rider Branch during the Frozen Chaos season
• Completing the Champion Rider Branch provides enough Atlas Champion Rider shards to advance Tanok to level 60

Primarch Buffs

Primarch Stat Buffs can be unlocked to grant your Primarchs up to +25% Attack and Defense ratings until the end of the current Atlas Season. These apply across all the Primarch tiers for each class of Primarch. These will remain unchanged from previous seasons.

SEASON COSTS

Frozen Chaos Portraits

• Lady Esper Portrait
  • Players can claim Lady Esper Tier 1 portrait in any of the standard branches: Elite Gear, Rider, or Primarch Buffs.
  • Players can claim Lady Esper Tier 2, Tier 3, and animated portrait in either of the Mythic Gear branches

CASTLE LEADERBOARD

Rounds and Scoring for the entire Atlas Frozen Chaos 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.

• 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.

1st Place Team - 1,100 days worth of expedites

2nd Place Team - 700 days worth of expedites

3rd Place Team - 600 days worth of expedites

4th-6th Place Teams - 500 days worth of expedites

EVENTS LEADERBOARD

We’re keeping the new Atlas Events Leaderboards for Atlas Frozen Chaos Season to see just which team is the most consistently dominant guild in our Atlas events! This Leaderboard will complement the existing Castle Leaderboard. With this new leaderboard, we will see the most active teams emerge during the Atlas Strange Lands season!

The Events Leaderboard will reward teams with points after each Atlas event. The points earned by a team is the summation of points based on individual players’ event achievement:

Please Note: Only the top 40 players of each team for each event will contribute to their team’s leaderboard points.

Example: Team A has 50 members. In the Fight For Glory event, 30 players reach prize 30, 10 players reach prize 25, and 10 players reach prize 20. Team A will earn 1150 points.
