Slaughter Season: 05

Share:

The 5th Slaughter Season is now available.  This event tracks Pennants instead of ices but you get them by icing the traditional way or in the Arena. If you want the highest badge and loot reward you need to earn around 4,000 ices in 7 days. This equates to about 285 ices from standard fighting and 571 ices per day in the Arena. Unlike Ice Seasons, getting your 150 ices per day won’t cut it and you need to go beyond this number.


The rules on how to earn Pennants are as follows. You can earn 1 Pennant per ice on the fight list (assuming all your opponents are easy as it makes no sense to ice ones of higher difficulty) or every 2 per every ice in the Arena (the much easier route).  You get 1 ice per 500 stamina in the Arena so each Pennant earned in the Arena will require 1000 stamina.

The number of Pennants required to fully master Slaughter Season is 2,000. The mastery item is a Blazing Inferno. Pennants can be earned in Shootout or Mob Fury Arenas and as you can see performance or difficulty of opponents does not matter. All you have to do is earn ices. Pennant totals are listed on top of the score boards and will be 1 half the total number of ices you received. Fake ices are those earned in the Arena at a rate of 1 per 500 stamina and Pennants will be one half this number.

A running total will be displayed on the main Arena page.

Pennants can also be earned by fighting on the fightlist. The number of Pennants you get per ice is based on the difficulty of each opponent. According to the FAQ for the original Slaughter Season (which is no longer on the Support Page) you should get 2 Pennants per ice on easy opponents but that is no longer the case. You get 1 Pennant per ice and 2 per kill (on easy opponents). If you check out the fight list, all or most opponents are easy. It wouldn’t make sense to try to ice medium or hard opponents as you would waste resources as it would take more stamina and if you lose to the player you would have to red ice them and get less experience.

Once you ice a easy target, you get 1 Pennant and for kills you get 2 Pennants.

There is a bully throttle of 50 ices so icing the same player (ie, your mini) is only good for 50 of the 2,000 Pennants.

The total number of Pennants earned for the event is displayed on the fightlist.
As you progress through the 5 levels of mastery you will earn the milestone rewards shown below. These show up as Arena rewards and every season many assume the Arena rewards have been updated.

Like Ice Seasons, once the season expires you will get your badge and loot reward. The badge you earn depends on which level of mastery you were working on when the event expired and the loot reward depends on which level of mastery you completed. Here is a closer look at the 5 items and the one you get won’t appear in the inventory until after the season expires.
