Conversation surrounding December 6th’s upcoming Mirandus VOX Drop has been building momentum, as the Gala Games community waits for the most exciting portions of information to be revealed.

In Discord, thousands have participated in the first two community Mini-Quests, helping us last week to design a Legendary Sword, and this week to tell the story of the Legendary Everflow Elf VOX.

Gala Labs has gained an invaluable peek into the mind of Mirandus Game Director Michael McCarthy, and today we return with some highly anticipated info regarding future utility for this series of 8888 unique Mirandus VOX.

Exemplars and Charms

The most perceptive among you may have noticed that many of the Mirandus VOX represent specific Exemplars. For example, some VOX will be variations of the Legendary Everflow Elf, while others may be unique variations of the human Seafarers, the Clearblood Orcs, or the Iron Shaper Dwarves. All Exemplars will be represented by their own class of Mirandus VOX.

Facing the mysteries of Mirandus alone is scary, even for an Exemplar. That’s why the Mirandus VOX series will be your “charm” in the game: Think of them as a good luck token or a small but powerful relic to slip into your pocket on your adventures. They are a way to power up your Exemplar. When you own an Exemplar and the matching VOX, you receive a special boost to your Exemplar’s innate abilities.

Keep in mind that to unlock the rare power of a Mirandus VOX Charm, you must own both the Exemplar and the corresponding VOX. For example, a Mirandus VOX Bone Orc will only pair with a Bone Orc Exemplar; a VOX Darksun Elf will only pair with a Darksun Elf Exemplar. Matching Exemplar to VOX is a quest entirely its own. There is no way of knowing what VOX your Boxes will contain, so the strategic choices surrounding this quest are yours alone to make.

You may want to load up on Exemplars in hopes that your VOX will align with them, or you may plan on waiting until your VOX are revealed before acquiring the appropriate Exemplar. Remember that every Mirandus Exemplar is limited in supply, so do not hesitate, and always trust your instincts.

Town Star Season 2

At the time Mirandus VOX are revealed, there will be no play-to-earn utility in Town Star. However, once Town Star Play-to-Earn has entered Season 2, Mirandus VOX will be eligible to earn daily TOWN rewards!

Within Town Star, Mirandus VOX rarities will work differently than the rarities of Town Star VOX from the inaugural series. Earnings will generally be lower than Town Star VOX (who are much more comfortable walking the streets and fields of a Town Star town), and Mirandus VOX will not affect the earnings of Town Star VOX in any way.

Additional Utility

Don’t forget that VOXverse and VOXcoin are coming, as well as other untold surprises. VOX are “avatars that DeFi” for multiple reasons, and these initial play-to-earn utilities are merely scratching the surface.

In the remaining days before the big drop, look for more announcements about exciting additional bonuses and hunts, including more specifics on Mirandus in-game utility. For now, we will only drop a couple hints of these additional perks:

It has been a wild week of Spider Tanks battling in the Korea Node Owner Tournament, but the results are in! Two skilled teams of the original 16 have emerged triumphant and will be heading to Las Vegas to compete live on the World Galaverse Stage at -into the galaverse on December 11th and 12th.

Read on for a recap (including videos) of the remaining Quarterfinal matchups, as well as recordings of the two Semifinal matchups!

Day 4 — Quarterfinals

Day 4 was filled with quarterfinal matchups. The participants had a fantastic time, giving everyone a great idea of Spider Tanks’ future of worldwide esports success! Players were well-prepared based on excellent understanding of the game, which helped viewers enjoy the tournament even more. They also played in all modes based on their strategies, making for an exciting day of Quarterfinal battle action.

Competition is going to be incredibly tight in Las Vegas, where the best two teams from this tournament will come to battle alongside the best two teams from last week’s US Node Owner Tournament at -into the galaverse!

Following completion of the above battles, the Quarterfinals are wrapped up, advancing half the teams one step closer to the Galaverse and sending the other half home defeated. We noticed that the players sounded more relaxed during the briefing session, probably because they were well-prepared. Most of today’s battles were neck and neck nail biters.

KoreaT1 vs K9 Thunder

You can see from the 3–1 end score that their matches were fierce. KoreaT1 fought tightly together while K9 Thunder employed a more spread out strategy. The first game was won by K9 Thunder. Unfortunately it failed to break down KoreaT1’s strong Tank Bodies and stronger teamwork in the following matches. Although both teams had great strategies, KoreaT1 successfully moved on to the semifinals.

MiningQueen vs 795

Despite high network latency, the games were well-played without any rematches. Although MiningQueen lost one game, they defeated 795 to advance to the semifinals thanks to strong teamwork. One of the players got disconnected in the middle of the fourth set, but he was able to quickly come back to the game. The remaining two players kept calm, which showed what it would take to be the winner.

TAS vs Korea S-Class

This matchup was pretty one-sided, ending with a 3–0 score, but each set was still a tight game. Korea S-Class began to move ahead thanks to the remarkable gameplay by their star player, Ttakpool. The second set was Chicken Chaser mode, in which TAS was quite confident, but Korea S-Class showed off a better strategy. They kept the momentum and won the last set, which was Hold The Flag mode.

That was the end of the semifinals. Only two games are left to decide on the Las Vegas trip recipients. We can hardly wait for the Seimfinal action of Day 5!

Day 5 — Semifinals

Watch the two Semifinal matchups below to see who has won a trip to Las Vegas to compete at -into the galaverse!
