Origins has a new daily check-in feature! Earn points by checking-in with an axie, and redeem those points in the shop for Runes, Charm Boxes, and Crafting Materials. You can even check-in with delegated axies. This brings even more utility to collectible axies in Origins on top of Metamorph and Collectible Chests.
Pro-tip: higher-tier collectibles earn moar points. Agamogenesis, Mystic, and Origins axies even receive Elite Check-In Points, which can be exchanged for extra special items in the shop!
Note: Collectible Runes and Charms pack would not be distributed this season and its rewards have been moved to Axie Check-in rewards. Axie Check-in Shop also features additional crafting materials as rewards which brings the total claimable rewards for Collectibles higher than previous seasons.

Gauntlet Mode is coming BACK during the S12 Epic Era. We’ve also revamped a few features to make the game mode more accessible and fun, including lower entry fees, simpler buffs, and randomized rules. Here’s how it’s going to work:
Stamina will replace SLP as an entry fee. This allows more players to explore Gauntlet Mode — regardless of how much SLP they have.
We’ve introduced new and simpler buffs that differ from Runes. These buffs will have global effects and can even be rerolled. Here’s the list of these new buffs:
Your highest HP Axie has +100 max HP
Your middle Axie has +15% card stats.
When an allied Axie dies, your allied Axies have +20% card stats
Until Round 3, when your turn start, apply 2 Cleanser to all allied Axie
Until Round 2, when your turn start, draw 1 card
When Round 4 starts, +1 Energy if you didn’t create a Burst
Until Round 3, when your turn start, apply 2 Poison to all enemy Axies
Until Round 3, when your turn start, apply 2 Fragile to all enemy Axies

Until Round 2, when your turn start, discard 1 random card from enemy hand or draw pile
When your turn starts, on Round 2 & 4, randomly summon 1 Little Robin (15 ATK) or 1 Mavis (40 ATK)
When your turn starts, on Round 2 & 4, randomly summon 1 Clover (40 HP) or 1 Mushroom (35 HP)

Until Round 3, when your turn start, apply 1 Bubble to all allies
Until Round 2, when your turn start, add 1 [Goo], [Jinx] or [Confused] to enemy discard pile
In addition to buffs, when the game starts, a random rule will be applied to bring unpredictability in battles. Here’s a list of those rules:
Game start, shuffle all axies position
Game start, apply 4 Cleanser to all axies
Game start, each player discard 6 random cards from Draw Pile
Game start, apply Forest Aroma Lv.1 rune to both front Axies
Game start, apply 6 Bleed and 1 Griveous Wound to all axies

Users will also receive Gauntlet Points instead of SLP. These points can be redeemed in the shop for Choice Boxes, Crafting Materials, AXP Boosters and Luck Dice (used to reroll buff). These rewards are a new avenue for players to get more resources for their arena climb.

7 Wins (0 Losses) = 250 Gauntlet Points + 1,500 Moon Shards
During the inaugural season for Rune Upgrades, we saw that Mystic Level 3 Runes were pretty hard to acquire. That’s why we reduced the cost of upgrade Mystic Level 2 Runes —> Level 3 Runes from 3 to 2. This should make it easier for players to reach their team’s full potential.
New season, new balancing updates! If you missed out during the Preseason, check out the full changelog below:
Origins launched in 2022, and we’ve now been through eleven seasons together. Players have taken home boatloads of rewards. Champions were minted. Lives, changed. Today, the game is almost stable and complete. That means no more major changes, no massive revamps — just the arena we all know and love. Let’s keep pushing.
