Great battles have been fought. Some won, some not. In Elysium, however, neither victory or defeat are forever. The paradox goes on, and great warriors must once again vie for power and the Ring itself.
What will you change this time? How will your strategy differ? Will you rise or fall?
Alex: I’ve always been more of a fan of rising than falling… but maybe that’s just me.
Emma: Yes, success is sweet. I will choose that one.
Alex: Wise as always Emma. You have any epic battles worthy of song this time?
Emma: Certainly, pyromaniacal one. Most interesting to you would probably be me bringing down your friend Torsten in one hit at the Dimension Ruins.
Alex: Ooh ho! Indeed, worth of a shanty! Just let me warm up my pipes BWAHAHAHA!!!
Emma: Singing for later, boom man. It is time to review the greatest Captains of Season 4!
Conquest: The Victorious
All great fights across Elysium always end with The Ring. Captains fight across the whole of the world for control of the strange ruins that seem to trap us within this paradox. Warriors leave it all on the field, knowing that every Conquest of The Ring is a do or die moment… their one chance to hold the great power at the heart of Eylsium.

Most Powerful Captains
The true warlords across Elysium build their forces deliberately, steadily and constantly. They cultivate skilled Mercenaries, craft and improve the best gear, and develop their fortress to an impregnable level. Unlike the victorious at conquest, this measure of a Captain’s worth doesn’t take their team into account. Battle Power doesn’t lie. Here’s the top Captains in Season 4:

Elite soldiers and numbers may protect you in the field, but the Arena leaves nowhere to hide. Your Mercenaries must fight it out with only their skill, gear and squad tactics. How did your team fare this season? Did you favor the correct warriors, or did you languish in defeat?

Season 5 Is Coming!
Alex: 🎼I sailed the great sea, searching every wave…
Emma: I still don’t believe that it is singing time pirate.
Alex: 🎶 but there never was enough thrill for me.
Emma: –I see that my opinion does not change yours.
Alex: 🎵But then I saw mighty Emma melt down Tor-sten, in bat-tle… in…stant…ly!!!🎶
Emma: Indeed. This song is fair enough, explosion pirate.
Alex: Well thank you Emma. I was a bit concerned that the disembodied voice wasn’t going to give me enough time to fin–
You’re right Alex! That’s all we have time for before we have to get ready for the start of Season 5!
Emma: Shall we place wagers on who vanquishes Torsten first Alex?
Alex: Ohhh, I REALLY like your style Emma. Let’s talk numbers.
Thanks for a great Season 4 everyone! We’ll see you on the field of battle for Season 5 tomorrow!
The great battle for the Ring has been fought. Were you victorious? Will the shattered timeline of Elysium bring you success or defeat in the next iteration…
The paradox continues, but maybe the right Captain seizing control of the power can change the fate of Elysium. It’s time for a fresh start. Old rivalries are broken, will old alliances be renewed?
Alex: So exciting to be here again! Teeehehehe, more explosions!
Emma: Wha… Where are we?
Alex: Oh, that’s not important. I just go with it and it always works out for me.
Emma: You are wise, explosion pirate. I shall follow you into this mystery.
Alex: Oh ho! We’re going to get along splendidly Emma! For now though, let’s get to the results of Season 3!!!
Conquest: The Victorious
The battle for the Ring is fierce. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers meet their end each time the powers of Elysium meet to do epic battle. The Captains that persist through the difficulties and rise to the challenge each Conquest are worthy of our respect indeed. We salute them!
Note that due to S12’s signature tactic of altering their names to be difficult to distinguish at the final conquest, most of our winners are somewhat mysterious heroes this season.

Most Powerful Captains
Conquest is a team sport. Pure battle power is a measure of the forces an individual captain can muster. No unexpected critical or tactical misstep in Conquest will change the results here… Those who amassed the most forces and the most Battle Power over the course of season 3 are true warriors.

Hiding behind your soldiers seems easy compared to the heat of the Arena. The Captains that rose to the top in this category are brutally efficient with their team of Mercenaries and can defend their spot with vigor to repeatedly come out on top.

This season, we have two Captains that were able to show their mettle in all three categories and rise to the top 10 across the board…
Congratulations to Firstblood and PalfinHF, the two Captains to accomplish this great task this season!
Season 4 Is Live!
Season 4 is already live! Get out there and conquer!
There’s tons of new features coming in season 4.
Jinryu, new Fire-type Mercenary
Guild Arena
Mercenary Collection System
New Season Pass, May Mayhem Pass, and Arena Pass!
Beyond that, there are tons of new balances, meta changes and improvements! Small changes make major tactical differences, and no two seasons of Eternal Paradox are alike!
…And Here We Go Again!
Emma: The strange, invisible narrator is correct. Tiny variables can greatly influence plans.
Alex: I never was one for plans. I think this time I’ll do what I do every time… blow stuff up! Bwuahahahaha!!!
Emma: A wise stratagem. Why fight the wind when you can fly on it?
Alex: Hahaha! You’re SOOOO much better at this than Torsten.
Emma: That does not surprise me. We are prepared for battle mysterious voice.
Thanks Emma and Alex, and good luck out there this season!
49 days to go –
Emma: 48 days.
Uhhh, right. You heard the woman! Get out there and conquer. We’ll see you at the battle for the Ring!
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!
Another battle for The Ring of Ruin has completed… yet we find ourselves back at the beginning of the battle.
The paradox continues, as the actions of Karls and Shakram echo through time itself in the never ending battle. That all ends in Elysium are also beginnings doesn’t have to be a curse… another chance to rise to the call of battle is here! Will you succeed this season where you failed before? Will you rise to the occasion and master time itself… along with the future of Elysium?
Welcome Mercenaries, to the conclusion of Season 2!
Alex: I, for one, welcome more battle. This cannon isn’t just for show, you know?
Torsten: Wha– how did I get here again?! I know I defeated you this time Alex… during the final battle for the ring!
Alex: No… not me. Probably just another impersonator. You see, I’m quite popular on account of how utterly gorgeous I am. Bwahahahahahah!
Torsten: …
Alex: At any rate, people aren’t here for just my chiseled good looks… let’s get to the results of Season 2!
Conquest: The Victorious
This season, the three different Conquest events were vicious. S12 took home the title this season, but with so many Captains catching their stride after the first season, strategy was cohesive and nuanced for many guilds. Competition was fierce, but the following players rose to the top repeatedly to dominate the leaderboards!

Conquest is one thing, but a Captain’s overall power relies less on their allies and more on their long-term strategy and organization throughout the season. The following Captains built their empires up to staggering heights, inspiring fear in their enemies across Elysium!

The Arena is not conquest. In Arena battles, your Mercenaries have no soldiers to hide behind. The raw power of your lineup and your strategy in battle reign supreme, and only the most diligent and dedicated Captains have what it takes to dominate the competition.

Season 3 is officially live. If you haven’t started building your empire yet, what are you waiting for!?
Behold! The Doombringer!
This season there’s tons of new features to look out for… new Mercenaries, new ways to rack up DPP, and the long anticipated Doom Bringer guild raids!
This season goes through April 30th. If you haven’t started rallying your forces yet, there’s still time to get a great start in your quest for glory!
Caption: Season 3 brings the all-new Mercenary Wang to the battle!
The Paradox Continues
Alex: So… big plans this season, Torsten?
Torsten: Yeah… I’m going to find the real you, and punch him repeatedly until–
Alex: Hey, that’s great buddy. I’m sure you’re going to have a lot of fun with that.
Torsten: How can you possibly be so annoyi –
Alex: And that’s all the time we have. Time to play us out, mysterious disembodied voice!
Thanks Alex. We hope every Captain out there – win or lose – had tons of fun in Season 2. Season 3 is going to have even more epic battles and more ways to play…
The battle for The Ring of Ruin has wrapped up, and what a battle it was! Check out the first hall of fame inductees and highlights from the S1!
Alex: Hello all you Mercenaries out there and welcome to RingWatch… your place to get caught up on the latest news in Elysium!
Torsten: Hi
Alex: Ehhh…don’t go overboard on the introduction or anything Torsten…
Torsten:…
Alex: Well at any rate friends, there’s been an awful lot going on for us to cover!
Torsten: nods
Alex: The Ring of Ruin has stopped, but I wouldn’t worry too much. In fact, I really never worry too much! Mwaeahahahaheehee!
Torsten: rolls eyes
Alex: Now the last 49-days of glorious battle, piracy and conquest in Elysium have been totally action-packed, and we hope every Mercenary out there had fun fighting for their lives.
Torsten: Speaking of… didn’t I defeat you in the battle for the Dimension Ruins? How are you even here?
Alex: Oh no, Torsten, surely not me. I only win battles. There are a great many Mercenaries who look like me I’m told. As you can see I have a very common face type.
Torsten: glares
Alex: And regardless– don’t ask me how – but I’m quite certain we’ll all be doing this exact same thing again very, very soon. dramatically Oh Pirate King… what have you done!?
Now let’s dive into some of the highlights from the battle for the Ring! Bwahahahahaheheheehee!!!
Conquest: The Victorious
There were many epic battles spread across all three conquest events throughout the season. We’d like to offer a special congratulations to the top five finishers overall from season 1:

The Eternal Fight
Another season of glorious battle is on its way in only a few hours. Will you take the lessons from this season and rise to greatness in the battle to come?
Alex: I’m sure they’ll try, but not if my cannon has anything to say about it.
Wait… your part is done. Where’d you come from?
Alex: I told you there was some weird stuff going on inside that ring. It would seem the fight is not yet done. BWUAHAHAAAHEEHEHE!!! See you on the battlefield!
Indeed, the battle continues! Elysium’s Mercenaries are trapped in the eternal battle for the Ring of Ruin, but perhaps this time it will end differently.
We’ll be back in the next few days to sum up everything exciting about season 2, but for right now, be prepared for the unexpected when the server opens in a few hours!
