Earl Sweatshirt x The Alchemist in the Arena

by | Aug 31, 2023 | Gala Games, Gala Music, Spider Tanks

Spider Tanks has teamed up with Gala Music to bring sweet tracks and unbridled destruction together at last.

Researchers throughout the Earthen Cluster are always eager to find more windows into our prehistoric past. For generations, everyone in the Planetary Union has gazed at the sky and wondered about our origins on the mysterious Earth.

A recent cache of analogue records has revealed more insights into the culture of our ancient shared past than ever before, and we’re bringing that excitement to the Spider Tanks arena!

The recent discovery includes recordings from long lost great poets and composers of the 21st century — Earl Sweatshirt and the Alchemist!

TranslationBot375.aÞv12 is still decoding the cultural nuance of these ancient verses, but anthropologists believe that Mr. Sweatshirt and Mr. Alchemist’s recordings were beyond simple music, as song and poetry often carried culture and oral traditions to the far corners of the planet in the Terraclassical Era.

Gala Music — the biggest authority on audiographical entertainment in the solar system — released a limited run of an all new album by the great Earl Sweatshirt and The Alchemist on August 25th! This previously unreleased treasure is called VOIR DIRE, and for a limited time only, owners can also receive a shiny new Tank in their garage!

About Earl Sweatshirt

Earl Sweatshirt is the byproduct of L.A.’s fertile ground where hip-hop sowed its seeds. The prodigiously gifted writer, lyricist, and producer grew from a zeitgeist on which contemporary collectives in hip-hop today are predicated. And while most movements are fleeting, Earl pushed forward and cemented himself as one of the foremost culturally relevant MCs in the game.

About The Alchemist

The Alchemist, a prolific record producer and musical visionary, has carved an indelible mark in the realm of hip-hop and beyond. His distinctive beats have graced tracks for Eminem, Kendrick Lamar, Earl Sweatshirt, and Freddie Gibbs. Continuously evolving, The Alchemist remains an influential force in modern music, proving that his sonic alchemy transcends eras.

Turn Up the Bass and Let the Destruction Begin

Don’t forget that the Arachnid August leaderboard is still ongoing… there’s matches to be won!

Don’t miss out. This latest Earl Sweatshirt x The Alchemist album dropped last Friday on Gala Music and there are still some available at https://music.gala.com, but once they’re gone you can still find them on sale from other fans at The Official Gala Music OpenSea Collection.

New Tournament Champion Reveal: Xenathra

New Tournament Champion Reveal: Xenathra

by | Aug 30, 2023 | Gala Games

The new Hero Xenathra will arrive for this weekend’s Tournament in Dragon Strike: Puzzle RPG!

What had they done!?

Enchanter, monster they had called her… The Witch of the Mountain. Xenathra had heard the whispers of the villagers for decades — fearful muttering was all it had ever been until now though. Today a blaze of torchlight and angry shouting had come to her door.

She quickly readied herself for a confrontation, annoyed by the intrusion. She had been here long before the village! What right did they have to come to her doorstep with violence? They certainly had experienced hardship from her research deep within the heart of the mountain, but this was her forest and had been for centuries.

She first had trouble directing the power years ago. Random wounds and injuries in the village started healing slower… then stopped altogether. Disease had begun to run rampant since. It was all a terrible affair, and she felt awful for her part in it… but they could leave her forest if they wanted. Her work must continue.

Xenathra peeked out through the blinds in her kitchen window. It wasn’t villagers. Her face fell as she saw the symbols engraved on the nearly hundred sets of heavy armor that had surrounded her hut on the side of the mountain.

The Order of the Anvil. She had always known they would come for her eventually. After centuries of hiding, they’d finally tracked her down. She paused for a moment to recall that time, those days long past.

Yes… she knew she deserved the fate they brought. She had done terrible things. Still, it wasn’t all bad back then. She could still hear the fanatical roar of the crowd when she brought down her foes in The Grand Tournament.

The house was already aflame, but Xenathra grinned with defiance. She was outnumbered in this bout, but she would give them the show of a lifetime. The sorceress launched everything she had through the burning walls of her hut, and one by one the knights fell outside.

Laughing maniacally, she hurled bolt after bolt of deadly magic blindly into the flames as more suits of armor on the other side fell lifeless to the ground. In the village and throughout the valley below, her cackles struck terror into all that heard them. Before long, the roof gave way under the stress of the flames… but still Xenathra’s counter-assault continued. The fire grew into an inferno where a hut had been, but her cackling didn’t stop.

Somewhere far away, Xenathra stepped out of the portal. She was still chuckling to herself as she patted out her flaming clothes.

Purple Tournament Champion: Xenethra

Xenathra has been called many things through her long life, but she has always been a killer. She understands more of the full nature of death than most could ever dream of, and she is able to use that to choke the very life energies out of her opponents. Her unique experience with death has granted her unnaturally long life and an uncanny ability to sustain her own lifeforce.

Xenathra is a master of the Ability Astral Wound. Manipulating the life energies within her opponent, she is able to strike a group of nearby enemies for massive damage and interrupt their ability to heal.

Xenathra will arrive on Thursday, August 31st in time for the next Tournament! Are you ready?

Tournament Champions at the Ready!

As usual with a new Hero, Xenathra will have a 10x modifier to all Tournament and Dragon Strike damage that will scale down gradually to a 5x modifier for the Legendary version.

The Rare Xenathra will have a 5x modifier for all Tournament and Dragon Strike damage that will scale down gradually to a 2x modifier, where it will eventually remain permanently.

Like other Heroes before, Xenathra is available all week as a possible bonus summon and will enter the permanent summoning pool.

Xenathra will be a great help in this weekend’s Yellow Tournament. Don’t miss out on this new hero!

Coming up next week is a Blue Dragon Strike… What hero will be unveiled then?

New Tournament Champion Reveal: Olaf!

New Tournament Champion Reveal: Olaf!

by | Aug 30, 2023 | Gala Games

The all-new hero Olaf will soon arrive through The Summoning Portal in time for this weekend’s Sub-Zero Tournament!

Olaf kicked at the dust on the arena floor, remembering better days. He looked up at the seats rising high on either side. Empty now — no screaming crowds. The days of glory in his forest coliseum were gone.

They’d be here any minute. He could smell the smoke from Malum’s siege machines approaching. He sat down in the dirt. This tournament field had been his life’s work. If it was to be destroyed, he’d be right here with it.

As he watched the sun dip behind the trees, he was so engrossed in his own reflections he hardly noticed the sound of shuffling feet behind him. Suddenly his trusty spear dropped at his side.

“You’ll need this captain.” Olaf looked up to see Geroni, his sergeant at arms. “We’re with you… we meet this together.”

Olaf smiled, his heart warmed by the sacrifice. Spear in hand, he slowly rose to his feet. Only then did he see the force assembled with Geroni.

The trainers, the porters, the smiths… even the cooks! Nearly the entire arena staff had turned out to fight. Olaf struggled for words as tears streamed down his cheeks. “My friends… you needn’t die here….”

“We stand as family.” Geroni quickly cut him off. His words were confirmed by cheers from the assembled militia.

Even as they cheered, Malum’s forces arrived.

The melee was as grand as any that had ever been seen within the walls of that great arena. Untrained servants fought as legendary gladiators. Each gave everything, and made the enemy pay dearly.

Olaf pierced one enemy after another with his spear, pausing between each stab to summon fresh vitality for his allies. Hundreds of Malum’s troops fell for each of Olaf’s.

In the end there were too many. The most valiant resistance couldn’t compete with the meat grinder of Malum’s war machine. In the end, Olaf was the last.

Brusied and broken in the middle of the arena, Olaf didn’t give up the fight. Long after there were no allies left to benefit from his healing magic, he battled on.

Finally as the sun set, Olaf fell. Set on by hundreds and laying amidst thousands of fallen enemies, Olaf closed his eyes smiling at the arena he’d built over his lifetime of hard work. He had done all he could, and he’d die happy here.

The smile fell off of Olaf’s face as he emerged from The Summoning Portal.

It would seem that Malum’s war had stolen the end of his story as well.

Green Tournament Champion: Olaf

Olaf is one of the last of the great Forest Wardens. Hailing from the great tree-covered wilderness of the north, this proud, ancient people valued two things above all else: community and combat. Olaf dedicated his life to the glory of battle, constructing the great wilderness fortress of Eventide Arena and ruling as its Champion for decades.

Olaf is the master of the Ability Harmony. Using this technique, he is able to quickly fire a blast from his spear which will strike multiple enemies. Channeling the ancient power of the Wardens, the recoil from his blast sends a wave of healing energy to his allies. Olaf is also able to draw from the residual power in his staff to augment his own natural healing.

Olaf will arrive on Thursday, October 12th in time for the next Tournament event. Are you ready for glorious combat?

Tournament Champions, Attack!

We hope everyone has enjoyed having new Heroes coming out of the Summoning Portal for the past few months, as every new Hero adds layers of potential tactics into every battle in Dragon Strike: Puzzle RPG.

We’re also aware that some players are eager to get back the rotation of older event Heroes — Never fear! After Olaf, we have nine more new Heroes that we’re excited to introduce into battles. After that we’ll pick up right where we left off on the old schedule on Thursday, December 19th.

It’s been incredibly exciting to see all the new strategies develop around the new Heroes. We hope that the future will bring more new and exciting developments, but also want to give everyone a little time to digest all this new meta! Don’t forget, there’s some big Heroes yet to come!

As usual with a new Hero, Olaf will have a 10x modifier to all Tournament and Dragon Strike damage that will scale down gradually to a 5x modifier for the Legendary version.

The Rare Olaf will have a 5x modifier for all Tournament and Dragon Strike damage that will scale down gradually to a 2x modifier, where it will eventually remain permanently.

Like other Heroes before him, Olaf is available all week as a possible bonus summon and will enter the permanent summoning pool.

Olaf could help turn the tides of this week’s Tournament. Don’t miss this shockingly powerful hero!

Coming up next week is a Green Dragon Strike event… What hero will arrive then?

Once a Champion is minted, you truly own it– No strings attached.

It’s exquisitely beautiful and masterfully designed by the innovative experts at OneUniverse, who have a special passion for changing the landscape of RPG combat. The empowerment of ownership, the decentralization, and the real gameplay rewards are just bonuses.

Ownership and rewards in Champions Arena are entirely optional. You can enjoy the game as much as you want, using non-NFT Champions to move forward. Then if you ever decide to own the assets you’ve worked so hard to upgrade, you have the option to mint them as NFTs using Minting Scrolls!

Whether or not you’re into real ownership and rewards for your gameplay, there is plenty of PvP and PvE action in Champions Arena to make the time fly by!

Secondary Market Champions

One of the greatest advantages to owning NFT Champions is the ability to trade them on the Ethereum secondary market.

Now that Champions Arena is live, NFT assets like Champions may be bridged back and forth from GalaChain to Ethereum.

New Dragon Slayer Reveal: Ulixar

New Dragon Slayer Reveal: Ulixar

by | Aug 23, 2023 | Gala Games

The new Hero Ulixar will arrive soon, just in time for this weekend’s Dragon Strike.

The wounded just kept coming. The battle against this new Drak was not going well it would seem.

Ulixar longed to be on the front lines where he felt he could do the most good, but he was chain-bound to the Conclave of the Tides — he must go where ordered. Trapped here instead of with the vanguard… this was just a ramshackle fort for nearby civilians to shelter. They had never planned it to be the battlefield hospital it had become.

Ulixar stooped over a Guardian lying on a cushion of flour sacks in the corner. His assistant was an accomplished healer, but this one would not make it. They couldn’t waste any more medicine. Calling on his own skills, he dulled her pain before moving to the next patient.

Ulixar let out a dry, rasping cough. He heard it echoed all around the room from countless mouths. It wasn’t just burns and wounds these soldiers were returning with. He had seen clean wounds fester in front of his eyes and watched minorly injured knights die of respiratory infection mere hours after arriving.

He’d heard the tales… Elder Blight. What had they awakened in the mountains?

Ulixar walked down the hall to his own bedroom. They’d managed to fit four wounded in his rather modest quarters. One of the generals currently occupied his bed. The man was silent and cold.

Ulixar sat down for a moment… unconcerned with the eerily still man next to him. Another massive coughing fit. They were coming more frequently. His head spun. “So this is how it ends,” he said to himself, fiddling with the chain around his neck.

Just as he thought he may lay down and rest awhile, a faint blue light began to form at his chest. Delicate sparks began to emerge from his chest, pooling in the open air in front of him. As he watched with fascination, the light grew. It gradually engulfed the great chain that had bound his neck for years.

Suddenly, the chain split in two and fell off Ulixar’s neck. He was so dumbfounded, he hadn’t even noticed the portal that had formed in front of him until he held up the pieces of chain to inspect them. “The magic is broken then? I’m… free?”

He dropped the chain where he stood. He could hear birds and feel sunlight coming through the portal. He took one last look at the dark, death and disease around him before eagerly plunging into the mysterious light.

Blue Dragon Slayer Hero: Ulixar

Ulixar is a defensive bulwark, and not just behind tall walls. He is himself a living, breathing fortress capable of bolstering the defenses of allies against nearly any threat.

Ulixar is a master of the Ability Sanctuary. Focusing his will, he layers potent protective wards on all allies, increasing defenses against both attack and Abilities. His protective powers are so great that affected allies also feel a heightened sense of awareness during battle, allowing them to dodge incoming attacks with ease.

Ulixar will arrive on Thursday, August 24th for the next Dragon Strike event. Are you ready?

Dragon Slayers, Attack!

As usual with a new Hero, Ulixar will have a 10x modifier to all Tournament and Dragon Strike damage that will scale down gradually to a 5x modifier for the Legendary version.

The Rare Ulixar will have a 5x modifier for all Tournament and Dragon Strike damage that will scale down gradually to a 2x modifier, where it will eventually remain permanently.

Like other Heroes before, Ulixar is available all week as a possible bonus summon and will enter the permanent summoning pool.

Ulixar will be a great help in this weekend’s Dragon Strike. Don’t miss this new hero!

Coming up next week is a Yellow Tournament… What hero will be unveiled then?
