Prepare for a new season in the lands of Atlas​!

The Atlas Winterjól Season will be arriving Wednesday, January 9th! Teamwork will be of utmost importance as always, so gather the troops and set to the skies for battle!

The Atlas Winterjól Season ends on April 3rd, 2019. All prizes must be claimed by then, as Atlas Winterjól Badges will not be usable in future seasons.

ATLAS MAINTENANCE

Atlas will undergo regular update maintenance as well as Season’s maintenance following the Version 4.94 release. Release notes will be available around this time for further details on when Atlas will be down during this time.

PROGRESSION PRIZES

What item(s) do I use to claim prizes in the Atlas Winterjól Season?

In the Atlas Winterjól Season, there will be Atlas Winterjól Badges used for claiming Seasonal Progression Prizes. Please note that previous Atlas Seasons’ Badges can no longer be used.

                                     Atlas Badges                                       Atlas Badge Chests                              

What Season’s Progress Prizes are available for the Atlas Duskfall Season?

• Gold Packs will replace all previous gold prizes. Gold packs behave the same way as Food or Lumber Packs and can be redeemed at any point by players. The overall amount of Gold offered per branch has slightly increased with this change.

• Elite Gear
  Elite quality Weapons and Shields are found around the middle and at the end of each elemental branch, respectively.

  <ul>
  	<li>
  	<p>Elite gear can only be earned from Atlas Seasons, and has higher potential power level than crafted Legendary Gear.</p>
  	</li>
  	<li>
  	<p>A full set of Elite Gear will provide a 100% buff to Dragon Attack Power and Health or a 100% buff to Tower Attack Power and Health.</p>
  	</li>
  	<li>
  	<p>Like regular crafted gear, Seasons gear must still be leveled up to reach its full power.</p>
  	</li>
  </ul>
  </li>
  <li>
  <p><strong>Offensive Rider Gear</strong>&nbsp;will include 5 branches. Each branch will feature two pieces of Offensive Dragon Rider Gear of a particular element. One of the gear pieces can be upgraded to provide up to +40% Dragon HP (Shield) while the other is upgraded to grant up to +35% Dragon Attack (Weapon).</p>
  </li>
  <li>
  <p><strong>Defensive Rider Gear</strong>&nbsp;will include 5 branches. Each branch will feature two pieces of Defensive Dragon Rider Gear that, when equipped on a Dragon, will buff your towers in the vicinity of the Perch. One of the gear pieces can be upgraded to provide up to +40% Tower HP (Shield) while the other is upgraded to grant up to +35% Tower Attack (Weapon).</p>
  </li>
  

• 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.

• Dragon Rider Kevana, the Cloud Rider

  <ul>
  	<li>
  	<p><strong>​</strong>Unlocked with Blue Dragon Rider Shards from seasonal branch.</p>
  	</li>
  	<li>
  	<p>Leveled-up with Red Dragon Rider Shards from seasonal branch and event prizing.</p>
  	</li>
  	<li>
  	<p>Kevana will available for hire even after the Atlas Winterj&oacute;l Season ends, and the Blue Rider Shards required will be available in future prizing.</p>
  	</li>
  </ul>
  </li>
  

Dragon Rider Kevana Skill Tree

• Kevana Portrait: Players who fully complete any of the branches will receive this portrait at no additional Winterjól Badge cost.

• Pricing: With the recent increase of troop regeneration rate and revival rates, players are gaining roughly 20% more Glory on average. Since season progression is directly tied to Glory earned, we are raising cost of all season branches this season by 10%.

CASTLE OWNERSHIP-BASED LEADERBOARD

Rounds and Scoring

• The entire Atlas Winterjól 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.

  <ul>
  	<li>Higher level castles are worth more Victory Points.</li>
  </ul>
  </li>
  <li>
  <p>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.</p>
  
  <ul>
  	<li>
  	<p>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.</p>
  	</li>
  	<li>
  	<p>Alternatively, seek out and conquer the castles of teams that threaten your team&rsquo;s rank to reduce their Victory Point potential.</p>
  	</li>
  </ul>
  </li>
  <li>
  <p>A castle&rsquo;s Victory Point value will not recover until it resets to full at the start of each two-week round.</p>
  </li>
  <li>
  <p>A castle&rsquo;s Victory Point value is visible to all Atlas players (not hidden by Fog of War).</p>
  </li>
  

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

Tiebreakers between teams at the end of the season will be broken based on the teams’ top 50 most valuable castle holdings.
