Welcoming Phantom Runs - a new way to access Pandora - and other interesting updates!

A new build-order strategy: The Forest Kick

Introducing Phantom and Premium Pandora runs

Welcome to a new era, an era full of rewards for the most passionate of you! We are continuously tweaking the Pandora experience and today we are very proud to announce the introduction of Phantom and Premium Runs.

With Faeria, we want you to feel at home. We want you to be able to choose which mode you like the most and play it as much as you want. But at the same time, you should have the opportunity to feel the thrill and gamble to win big!

This is why we are introducing two different type runs that are intended to fullfil the needs of our players:

Phantom Runs

Phantom runs have been designed to allow you to experience Pandora once a day, for free. At your first login, each day, you will receive a free Phantom Coin that will grant you acccess to a Phantom Run (if you don't have a free coin from a previous day already).

Phantom runs can be finished through either 6 wins or 2 losses. If you wish to play extra Phantom runs, they cost 50 Gold.

The rewards are as follow:

  • 0 Victories: 0 Gold
  • 1 Victory: 15 Gold
  • 2 Victories: 30 Gold
  • 3 Victories: 50 Gold
  • 4 Victories: 75 Gold
  • 5 Victories: 100 Gold
  • 6 Victories: 100 Gold + 1 Pandora Coin

Pandora Runs

Pandora runs have been designed to maximise the thrill and the rewards. A Pandora run costs 250 Gold or $1.49 and can be finished through, either 12 wins or 3 losses.

By choosing to play a Pandora Run, you are guaranteed to win one Booster Pack, Gold and Memoria! But that's not it, for the most worthy out there (6 wins and more), you will have the chance to win Mythical Cards, such as the mighty Krog below.

Ladder Season Reset

As announced last month (Ladder Seasons are coming), we have finished the first Ladder Season and it's been a blast! By now, if you were ranked 15 or below, you should have a gorgeous new Card Back. For the Gods among you, your version is golden!

Faeria Monthly Cup: Community votes are now open

As introduced with the Faeria Monthly Cups, one of the cool ways to get into the Finals is to get voted by the community. We are pleased to announce that those votes are now open!

Reminder: Answer the Survey and win 400 Gold!

As mentioned last week (Faeria Friday 06/03), we have a community survey running where you have a chance to win 400 Gold! Your feedback is very valuable for us :)
