The anticipated Final Era of Origins Season 10 has begun, bringing the season to a close with a thrilling, week-long competition. With a prize pool of 24,000 AXS at stake—accounting for 30% of the season’s total rewards—the competition is fiercer than ever. Players must push their limits to secure a top rank and earn AXS before the season ends.

What is Axie Origins?

Axie Infinity Origins is a card-based strategy game where players collect, own, and use an infinite variety of creatures called Axies to battle. Players can take down evil Chimeras in the Adventure mode or challenge other players in the Arena to reach the top of the Leaderboard. The web3 game is free to download and play on Android, PC, and MacOS devices.

Three free non-NFT starter axies are available for everyone to utilize, enjoy, and get more acquainted with the game, with more available to be unlocked by playing the game. Starter axies are available to allow new players the opportunity to play Axie Infinity without first having to purchase axies. This allows users to test the product with absolutely no strings attached. 

A Radical Shift in the Meta

The recently concluded Mystic Era introduced a dramatic shift in the game’s meta. Origin and Mystic Axies dominated the competition, showcasing the effectiveness of collectible axies on the leaderboard. The era also saw increased diversity in team compositions, with Jinx teams becoming the most popular choice. However, a blend of strategies emerged at the top, including two newly popular archetypes that reshaped the competition’s landscape.

Notably, Naoki Asso clinched the top spot in the final moments of the Mystic Era, delivering an impressive performance in the last 30 seconds. As the Final Era begins, the pressure is mounting for players to adapt their strategies and secure their place among the best.

Final Era Leaderboard Rewards

The Final Era presents the last chance for players to earn leaderboard rewards in Season 10. A significant 24K AXS prize pool is on the line, offering substantial incentives to climb the ranks. Only the top 8 players will be eligible for AXS rewards, making every point earned in the final week crucial.

Limited-Time Avatars and Borders

In addition to AXS rewards, exclusive in-game cosmetics are available for top-performing players. Those who place high on the leaderboard will unlock rare avatars—such as the Hope and Shillin avatars—and flashy profile borders. These limited-time rewards provide a unique opportunity for players to showcase their achievements throughout the offseason.

Elite 8 Tournament: October 20th

The competitive spotlight will soon shift to the Elite 8 tournament, scheduled for October 20th. This exclusive event features a 3,000 AXS prize pool and will crown the ultimate champion of Season 10. The tournament promises high-stakes action, with players competing in a best-of-5 format for the top spot.

In the previous season, Enrico defeated Nalerk in a gripping final to claim the Season 9 title. As the Final Era unfolds, players are racing to clinch a top 8 leaderboard position to qualify for this high-profile competition. This season’s Elite 8 will also mark the debut of the Meta Morph tournament format, requiring participants to lock in their axie parts and classes before the event begins to ensure balanced gameplay.

Retirement of the Collectible Leaderboard

The prominence of collectible axies during the Mystic Era fulfilled the development team’s vision of integrating them into high-level gameplay. Both Origin and Mystic Axies reached the top positions on the leaderboard, demonstrating the value of these unique collectibles. With this goal achieved, the Collectible Leaderboard will be retired in the upcoming offseason.
