The preseason of Origins Season 12 has begun with several updates. Among the main announcements is the introduction of the Dream World Arcade mode, which replaces the Haunted House. Although the name has changed, the game mechanics, available teams, and store items remain unchanged. Additionally, players will have the opportunity to propose and test new teams at the official season start.
During this phase, users have access to free rune and charm testing. The testing period, called Era-Based Testing, allows players to explore different levels of items classified as Rare, Epic, and Mystic. Each category will be unlocked progressively, starting with Common and Rare runes and charms, followed by Epic ones, and concluding with Mystic items. This system is designed to help players prepare before the full development of the season.

Another announced change is the upcoming activation of Morphing powers for delegates. This adjustment will allow delegates to modify Axies using their own resources, without needing the help of delegators. The implementation of this functionality is scheduled during the preseason.
Axie Check-In
Furthermore, a new registration feature called Axie Check-In will be launched. This tool will reward players based on the level of the selected Axie. While full details have not been disclosed yet, this feature will be available with the official start of the season.
Regarding game balance, adjustments have been made to some teams and strategies to maintain a competitive environment. Overperforming teams have been tuned down, while archetypes like Bleed, Leafy, and Topaz have received buffs. These changes aim to diversify gameplay options and ensure a balanced experience for participants.
With these updates, the preseason serves as a period of adjustments and testing designed to prepare players and set the foundations for the upcoming season. These measures are expected to contribute to the game’s development and offer new opportunities to explore strategies and optimize resources.
