Champion Pass. Dev Notes
Lords and Ladies,
A brand new feature has come to Stormfall: the Champion Pass! We're here today to break down how this new feature works, and how you can best use it to enhance your forces.
Accessing the Champion Pass
You must reach at least Level 40 and complete all the Champion Tutorial Quests to be able to participate in the Champion Pass and receive great rewards.
Champion Pass Basics
The Champion Pass works very similarly to the Battle Pass. It works in Seasons, each of which lasts one month (starting on the 10th of each month). When a Champion Pass ends, it refreshes your progress and you can begin earning rewards again.
Over the course of a Champion Pass Season, you must earn Champion Pass Levels by spending Energy attacking the Undead and the Corrupted. As you gain Levels, you earn Rewards, and can unlock powerful Special Bonuses.
Champion Pass and Royal Champion Pass
There are two types of Champion Pass:
- Free Pass
- Royal Pass
The Free Pass is available to all players who can access the Champion Pass. The Royal Pass must be purchased at the Bank.
If you have the Royal Pass, you get more Rewards from gaining Champion Pass Levels, and you get access to Special Bonuses.
Champion Pass Rewards and Bonuses
Beyond the Rewards you're offered for gaining Champion Pass Levels, everyone also gains access to the Season Bank. This special Bank will store any Energy and Emeralds you spend during the Champion Pass Season, up to its capacity. When the Season ends, you'll collect a portion of the Energy and Emeralds you banked, making for a sweet payday!
If you've got the Royal Champion Pass, however, you get even more Special Bonuses. The most basic is the ability to unlock a larger Season Bank. The Season Bank has 3 Levels, and only the Level 1 Season Bank is accessible to the Free Pass. Season Bank Levels 2 and 3 significantly increase the storage capacity of the Bank, giving you an even better payout come the end of the Season.
In addition to the ability to upgrade your Season Bank, the Royal Pass also lets you expand the number of Slots available when you run Group Undead Hunts. As you earn Royal Pass Levels, you can get up to 10 Extra Slots for Group Undead Hunts, for a total of 20 Slots.
Just like the extra Slot capacity, the Royal Pass also gives you the ability to unlock more Energy Capacity. You can get a total of 250 Energy Capacity, after you've earned the extra 150 Energy Capacity from gaining Royal Pass Levels.
Lastly, the Royal Pass also gives you access to infinite Levels! Once you max out your Champion Pass Levels at Level 30, if you have a Royal Pass you can continue to earn Levels, each one granting you a handy Champion Chest.
Champion Chests come in three varieties, and contain helpful goodies you're sure to appreciate.
Final Notes
When a Champion Pass Season ends, unclaimed Rewards will be handled automatically:
- Unclaimed Items will be directly added to your account.
- Unopened Champion Chests will be moved to the "Goods" tab of the Inbox window.
Warning: you have a maximum of 300 Chests in that tab! Be sure to open your Chests, or you'll miss out on Rewards!
- Unclaimed Geists will be added to the "Goods" tab of the Inbox window.
- Your Season Bank will automatically be emptied into your account.
- Additional Bonuses will end, whether they have been claimed or not.
Finally, note that purchasing the Royal Champion Pass will not grant you any Artifacts - the ones used to earn Trunks of Power.
