Winterfest Is Coming To Praetoria

All Units have Weary. Each round, a unit does not attack; it takes 2 true damage at the end of that round.

Units with Weary have a 10% chance to become Exhausted; the chances increase each turn.

So with Frostbite, being one of the active rulesets, all cards have a 10% to become exhausted from Weary that will increase each round, until it reaches 80%, making it more preferable to finish the battle as early as it can be, because if you don't, there will be a chance for your team to lose even if the opponent team is weaker just because your cards won't attack when they need to. At the same time, what makes this ruleset hard to deal with is that the cards that get exhausted will receive 2 true damage, so abilities like Shield won't help to reduce the damage, not to mention Weary is a debilitation that cannot be cleansed, and even cards with Immunity can also be exhausted.

Along with the limited-time battle modifier, there will also be new items that will be available in the Glint shop, some of which are directly purchasable with Glint, while some can be found on the Loot Chests as a jackpot prize, which will require players to be blessed with some luck if they want to collect them. If Winterfest follows the same rules as the previous event, each Jackpot skins will have a 1.5% odds, temporarily replacing potion % and in case the event ends and there are still skins left in the jackpot pool, they will then be burned at the end of the season. That will keep the supply of the skins very thin, and with the in-game market for these skins finally active, the price for them might skyrocket due to the very low supply.

For the skins, two different skins that will be available in the shop. The Festive Series and the more rare Permafrost Series.

For the Festive Series, there will be 16 different skins that you can have, mostly by directly purchasing them on the Glint Shop, while some can only be acquired through the jackpot chest, which I think will be the skins for Grimbardun Smith and Eternal Tofu, as well as the Legendary reward and Archon Skins.

Meanwhile, for the Permafrost Series, there will be 11 skins that will be available, including a skin for Arkemis the Bear, which is a promo card for the Chaos Legion set. If it follows through the previous event, I believe that the Permafrost Series will only have 10 copies for each skin, making them very rare.

Another thing that will be coming next season are Winterfest Gift Boxes, which contain Packs, Glint, Energy, Credits, Holiday Skins, and Skin Tokens for guaranteed future skins. The prices of each Gift Box range from $5- $100 and can only be purchased with Credits, which raises the question of why even include Credits in the Box when it could be DEC instead, as they were cheaper? Maybe they do not want to increase DEC inflation, but I do not think that it will increase DEC that much. Looking at each of the Gift Box, I think the most worth it to buy was the $25 box, which comes with either 4 Conclave Arcana Standard or 16 Starter Packs, priced at 16,000 DEC or $16 at peg value, as well as the Spellbook Promo Code, which costs around $10. Even though the DEC is at around 30% discount, I think the $25 Gift box is still a good deal, as it comes with 2.5k Credits valued at $2.5, 50k Glint, 60 Fortune Draw entries, 2 Winterfest Skins, and 1 Skin Token.

One thing that I want to add is that these Gift boxes are not exclusive to the buyers to open. They can also use this to gift to a friend or a new player, so if you want to, feel free to send me some Gift boxes.
