We’re halfway through the third season of Eternal Paradox, and the fate of Elysium hangs in the balance. Captains are valiantly fighting off The Doombringer and gathering their forces, but most eyes are fixed squarely on this Saturday’s Conquest event!
Will you be ready for the battle?
Alex: Oh, I assure you that I was born ready!
Torsten: Oh no… not here again!
Alex: What’s the matter friend? I personally cherish our little chats. Really clears the palate after destroying all your armies! BWUAHAHAHAHHA!
Torsten: Why you little… I’ll show you what destroy means. Wait – what’s hissing under my chair…
BOOOOOOOOOOOM
Alex: MWUAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Always a pleasure Torsten!
The Coming Conquest
The second Conquest event is right around the corner. With the Spring Event serving up big rewards and discounted specials in the shop, everyone is posturing their armies to take on the competition at the end of the week.
[XII]SQUAREXII won the first round, but [DUB]Deadly is hot on their trail. [EPx]Eternals likewise glided into a third place finish, but [GFX]GFGROUPX is keeping the pressure on them close behind in fourth.
S12 is firmly in control after the first Conquest. Can they hold it?
As Captains are starting to farm up the best prisoners and just getting into T9 and T10 soldiers, Conquest 2 is when everything really starts to heat up. Make sure you’re ready for it – this Saturday, April 13th at 5pm-6:30pm UTC (That’s 10am-11:30am PT)
The Season of Wang
Each season in Eternal Paradox, a new Mercenary rises to battle for the destiny of Elysium.
Beware the judgment of Wang… his most powerful attack also revives a fallen ally if it strikes down an opponent.
The arrival of Wang this season had a major effect on strategies, both in the arena and the field. The addition of another Light Mercenary alone created new ways to create an endgame War Synergy team, but Wang also features the Command Skill, Strategy Guide. This allows Light soldiers extra crit chance… up to 5% at max level!
Light soldier CRIT is a massive boost during conquest, when Dark and Light troops are the premier fighting force of a clever Captain
With the role of Captain Gear so important in how quickly you can progress and grow, Wang’s Internal Affairs Skill is also now sought after by all Captains. Eloquent Speaker will reduce the cost of enhancing Captain Gear up to 10% at max level.
Wang isn’t just here for field support though. A first glance at his Battle Skills may make you think that Wang plays a more passive role in campaign and arena combat… that would be a recklessly incorrect assumption though. Don’t underestimate the pure power Wang can deliver.
Worn out for Conquest? Use Wang’s Reflux skill to get your energy back up for the battle!
Battle Looms
Alex: Even if Torsten couldn’t quite handle the heat, I’m very excited for this next Conquest. You may even say it’ll be… explosive. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Well said Alex. Join us on April 13th at 10am PT for all the conquest mayhem, and we’ll see you after to recap all of the glorious battle!
Dropping its Signature Edition on April 11th, this track is a fresh breeze from the Alternative/Indie scene, a journey of emotional liberation and sonic exploration.
“Rick James” is about those moments when you find yourself at a crossroads, choosing liberation over stagnation. The song encapsulates the essence of letting go, dancing away the ties that bind you to someone who’s unwilling to change. Ryahn’s storytelling invites listeners into a world of musical freedom, where letting go is just as much a celebration as it is a challenge.
This Los Angeles-based singer, songwriter and guitarist brings a depth to her music that is both rare and raw. Her journey from South Florida to the heart of LA’s indie scene has been marked by a relentless pursuit of authenticity. Through “Baby Boy,” her debut single, to the acclaimed “Light Blue” EP, Ryahn has not just shared her music; she has shared herself, her struggles and her triumphs.
The significance of “Rick James” extends beyond its lyrical depth and musical mastery. As a Signature Edition release, limited to only 100 copies, it represents a unique opportunity for fans and collectors alike to own one of the first pieces of Ryahn’s webj3 music history.
When paired with an active Jukebox Node, these NFT tracks entitle the owner to daily $MUSIC rewards based on the track’s platform popularity. As the rarest NFT edition possible on Gala Music, Signature tracks also come with the greatest possible reward multipliers.
In its most genuine form, music has the power to transcend barriers, connect hearts and catalyze change. “Rick James” is for those wandering in the limbo of waiting, a reminder that sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is let go and dance.
As we welcome her into our rapidly growing world of web3 music, Ryahn is inviting us into her world, offering a soundtrack to our own stories of liberation and joy.
Listen now to “Rick James” by Ryahn on Gala Music, and become part of the movement that champions the raw, unfiltered essence of music and the artists who dare to bare their souls. This is more than music; it’s a revolution.
Enhanced Artist Uploads
It’s now easier than ever to become a Gala Music artist and start dropping NFT tracks, thanks to the new Artist Upload feature. Artists can schedule, price and manage their own track drops from dream to stream. This feature addition is a huge leap forward in web3 empowerment for artists, putting total control back into their hands!
After the release of the developer-first GalaChain SDK earlier this year, GalaChain is just getting warmed up. But aside from the advances toward mass web3 adoption across multiple world industries, GalaChain is still prepared to revolutionize the gaming industry, empowering players like never before through ownership and rewards.
We’re always on the lookout to join forces with quality projects that share our mission of player empowerment and today we’re announcing the beginning of a new partnership that will do just that: Gala… Get ready for Battle Showdown: Gambit.
The Partnership
With a specific focus on intermingling our upcoming Gala Casino token, $GCHIPS, with the Battle Showdown: Gambit economy, this strategic partnership takes a different approach from some of the other partnerships we have recently announced. Right now we can only give you an appetizer, but the main courses of this partnership are sure to leave you satisfied, collaboratively demonstrating the latest in generative AI gaming and web3 SkillFi.
As first announced in this Litepaper, the Gala Casino token will soon bring a new way to get rewarded for playing your favorite casino style games on GalaChain. As Ethlas prepares for launch of its Gambit web3 gaming platform and “SkillFi” flagship game Battle Showdown: Gambit, we’re kicking off this partnership with a token swap to facilitate and incentivize interaction between both thriving communities.
Following the creation of the new $GCHIPS token, Gala will swap some $GCHIPS with an equivalent amount of $ELS, the governance token of Ethlas and the Battle Showdown: Gambit ecosystem.
More info is coming soon about the details of this initial token swap. The teams at both Gala and BSD Gambit are each eagerly exploring ways to create interoperable functionality for NFTs from the other’s ecosystem, and we’re excited to share more news in the near future!
Prepare for Battle
The Gambit launch and Battle Showdown: Gambit will allow players of the mobile platform shooter to receive rewards in-game, but tokens will also be deducted for deaths.
Additionally, a special spectator mode will allow a different kind of play dubbed “SkillFi,” which allows spectators to back players of their choice by purchasing Bits for specific players.
With reward multipliers available for various levels of NFT ownership, referral bonuses and multiple ways to farm rewards even before Battle Showdown gameplay is live, you can start collecting Gambit Points right away! Learn more about these opportunities on the BSG: Gambit blog.
Familiarize yourself with BSG: Gambit’s economy plans in the Whitepaper and you’ll begin to understand why we’re so excited for $GCHIPS and Gala Casino to team up with Ethlas, $ELS and Battle Showdown: Gambit.
Look out for updates and announcements about this SkillFi gaming partnership as BSD: Gambit and Gala Casino prepare for launch!
