Balance Life and Death in the Atlas Souldance Season!


ATLAS SEASON MAINTENANCE

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


ADDING TEAMS TO ATLAS

With the launch of the Atlas Souldance Season, we’ll be adding all teams from Platinum I and above into Atlas based on their rank following the League rebalance on Tuesday, September 15th.


EARN MORE MYTHIC TIER GEAR

You’ll be able to earn more Mythic Gear in the Atlas Souldance Season. Mythic Gear is exclusive to Atlas Seasons. Individual Mythic Gear pieces will need to be leveled up to level 10 to get the full Attack and HP benefits (see below).

Antonius, Death Speaker

Defensive

During the time of Souldance, Antonius is in high demand by the bereaved. They ask him to pass on messages to the dearly departed, or to request last wishes from beyond the veil. But he has his own agenda as he speaks with the dead, and it would benefit any Dragon Lord to have Antonius on their side instead. Secure his loyalty in this Season's Rider branch!

Skill Tree:

  • Portraits

    <ul>
    	<li>
    	<p>Players can claim Antonius&rsquo;s Tier 1 portrait in any of the standard branches: Elite Gear, Rider, or Primarch Buffs.</p>
    	</li>
    	<li>
    	<p>Players can claim&nbsp; Antonius&rsquo;s Tier 2, Tier 3, and animated portrait in either of the Mythic Gear branches</p>
    	</li>
    </ul>
    </li>
    

CASTLE OWNERSHIP-BASED LEADERBOARD

Rounds and Scoring

  • The entire Atlas Lotusbloom 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>
    	<p>Higher level castles are worth more Victory Points.</p>
    	</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

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.
