This thread is for information and discussion on the Santa's Challenge (Christmas) 2025

 

Santa's Booster

This will be an offer, which is available through the Santa’s Challenge event, and it contains of two components:

• Battle Bonus
• Stage Gift

The offer also contains 300 gems and 1 Epic Hero tokens, Noel Avatar.

The price was 11.99 USD in 2022. 

 

Battle bonus

All of your heroes receive stat boost based on their rarity:

• Legendary Heroes have the following bonus in the event:
  • +15% attack, +15% defense, +15% health
• Epic Heroes have the following bonus in the event:
  • +25% attack, +25% defense, +25% health
• Rare Heroes have the following bonus in the event:
  • +50% attack, +50% defense, +50% health

 

Stage Gift

If you buy the Santa’s Booster, then a icon will be shown after each stage, which you can open after you finished that level.

If you buy the offer after you have completed some stages, then you are still able to open the gifts for the already completed stages.

Each stage gives either Food or Iron Bundles (50k / 100k / 250k), and some additional items.

Total amount of summons you get from the Booster alone:

• 100 Legendary Troop Coins
• 100 Wildernes Coins
• 100 Goblin Coins
• 3 Epic Hero Tokens
• 2150k Food
• 1050k Iron
• 1x Alpha Aether
• 6x Rogue Master Emblems
• 6x Ranger Master Emblems
• 210x Rogue Emblems
• 270x Ranger Emblems
• 300 Gems 
• Bunch of (Master) Trainer Heroes
• Bunch of basic battle items

 

Special Game-Play - Frosted Tiles!

The Frosted Tiles (frozen) are returning from last year & feature the same gameplay mechanic.

The shields which are covered with frost! Frosted shields can't be used in attacks. Match shields to break the frost!

All other match mechanics are the same as regular gameplay.

How this works:

• Tiles which are frosted CAN be moved
• Tiles which are frosted involved in a match DO NOT ""fire"". They simply lose the frosting.
• Matching a Diamond or Dragon Bomb by swiping a ""frosted tile"" DOES NOT result in the formation of the Diamond/ Dragon Bomb.

 

Easy, Normal and Advanced Modes

New for 2020, there are now three Modes for the Seasonal Event — Easy (new), Normal, and Advanced. You can play any or all three, and must complete each Stage sequentially in that mode to advance.

The Modes are separated, a bit like Tiers in Challenge Events.

Unlike Normal/Hard Modes in Atlantis, advancing in the Easy or Normal Modes won’t give you access to the corresponding Stages in Advanced. You need to beat each Stage in each mode to progress. And unlike Normal/Hard Modes in Valhalla, the Modes can be played entirely separately — you could start with Advanced, for instance, without playing Easy and Normal.

 

Stages

Like previous versions of Santa's Challenge, there are 24 Stages per Difficulty Mode.

With the addition of Easy, that now means there are a total of 72 Stages across the three Difficulty Modes.

 

No Hero Restrictions

Unlike Challenge Events, there are no restrictions on Hero or Troop rarity in the Easy, Normal, and Advanced Modes. There are also no restrictions on Hero Classes, unlike Class Trials.

You’re free to use any heroes you’d like!

 

No Replaying Completed Stages

Unlike Challenge Events, Seasonal Events don’t allow replaying a completed Stage — much like how Quests & the Ninja Tower work.

Once you beat each Stage, it’s locked, and once you beat the entirety of the Seasonal Event, you can’t play any more.

If you fail at a Stage, you can retry as many times as you’d like, up until the Event ends.

 

Epic Hero Tokens Can Be Used for Seasonal Summoning 

The Seasonal Summons replaces the regular Epic Hero Summons.

Because of that, unlike Challenge Event Summons, the Summoning Portal for Seasonal Events allows using saved up Epic Hero Tokens that can otherwise normally only be used for Epic Hero Summons.

That makes Seasonal Events the only place you can currently use Epic Hero Tokens for a chance at non-Season 1 heroes.

 

Festive Stronghold

During each of the Seasonal Events, your Base is updated in the spirit of the season. 

For Santa's Challenge, this includes snow, snowmen, Christmas lights on trees, and aurora/northern lights in the sky. Also, the dragon that flies across your base sky is replaced with a Sleigh pulled by Reindeer.

The snowmen will bounce when tapped.
