SEF Team Challenge April 2018
The March SEF Team Challenge was a great success, so we launched the April SEF Team Challenge (with new teams) as soon as the new month began!
Aside from the teams changing, the only differences to March are that we can confirm all the prizes before the end of the month (see below) and provide a Player Leaderboard for tracking who is in line for special prizes.
Shadow Era Federation Background
The Shadow Era Federation is intended to be a fun way to enhance the core Shadow Era experience, through new challenges, rewards and significance placed on Rated Multiplayer results, whilst also boosting player engagement and entertainment when you aren't able to battle.
We will be achieving this through a brand new tangential storyline involving Vull the Insatiable, the ruler of the Shadow world of Phaed, who has managed to capture all 32 of our heroes on Phaed and has forced them into competing against each other in various events within what will surely be his biggest ratings winner of all time, the Shadow Era Federation.
Vull is not ashamed to admit it has not been an easy task to assemble and contain all 16 Human heroes and 16 Shadow heroes, but he has addressed this in an ingenious way through initially dividing each faction into its smallest unit and then weaving them together to make 16 Human/Shadow teams that will take part in the SEF Team Challenge. Whether between teams or within teams, the expected scale of conflict is certain to keep every hero distracted from unifying against their captor!
We are really looking forward to having this story unfold, especially when you, the players, will literally play a key role in the direction it goes.
How the SEF Team Challenge Works
Every Rated Multiplayer match played during the month will represent a match between two heroes in the SEF:
* if the heroes are on different teams, a win will count as a win for the winning hero's team;
* if they are against their partner, a win will help show who is the more dominant team member;
* if they are in a "mirror match”, where both heroes are the same, it will show how close that hero is to their breaking point.
The statistics from these matches will act as the foundation for the original storylines within the SEF that will be told in a variety of ways, from short stories and articles to videos.
But what of the challenges and rewards that were mentioned? Well, for the SEF Team Challenge, it will work as follows:
1) Each rated multiplayer match you win with a hero will count as a win for their team, regardless of the opponent (since you can’t choose who you face).
2) Once per team, when you achieve 5 wins with them, you will earn 10 SC, meaning 160 SC can be won during the month (along with your usual 80gold and 400XP for a win). You will be able to view your progress with each team on your Status screen.
3) At the end of the month, prizes will be awarded to players based on the minimum number of wins you achieve for every team. (Please see the next section.)
Prizes to be Awarded at the End of the Month
Basic Prizes:
* 1 win with every team = 1 LL booster pack
* 2 wins with every team = 2 LL booster packs
* 3 wins with every team = 3 LL booster packs
* 4 wins with every team = 4 LL booster packs
* 5 wins or more with every team = 5 LL booster packs + SEF Sleeve
Over-achiever Prizes:
* 6 wins or more with every team = X Premium Foil packs + X Prize Packs + X Pick-a-Card, where X is the minimum number of wins you got with every team (e.g. At least 10 wins with every team means you get 10 PF, 10 PP and 10 PAC on top of the 5 LL packs and SEF Sleeve for having at least 5 wins for every team).
Champion Prize (for March and April only):
* The player with highest number of wins with every team = Enough Shadow Tokens to become a Top 100 Token Holder, which auto-foils your deck in every match you play. (This was 2000 SHDW for March.)
MVP Prize for Each Team:
* The player with the highest number of wins for a specific team = 10 Pick-a-Card + SEF Sleeve
