The anticipated Christmas Clash 2017 1v1 PvP Tournament for Wizard101 is now officially released! You heard that right, after the long wait our third irradiation of Christmas Clash is here for you to enter in to complete against other skilled players!
As a friendly reminder the goal is to test the deck building skills rather than overall skill in PvP, resulting in restricting certain cards, changing the battle environment, or adding other staff members to cast spells at certain points. Historically in the past we have called this involvement “gamemodes” which changes every round; there are 6 rounds thus 6 different and unique gamemodes. An example of one we did in Christmas Clash 2015 in round 5 was you had to kill your opponent with a wand strike under the name of “Maximum Disrespect”. Or another example was a gamemode by the name of “Burn Baby Burn”, done in the 1v1 Luau 2016 in round 5, where you get Mana Burned every four rounds by referees are in the match, this limits your potential in large scale combos and forces you to be clever with limited pips and resources, especially as Shadow-Enchanted spells are banned in the general rules.
Speaking of the general rules we have tons to help balance the experience in PvP to make it a more even playing field eliminating RNG (Random Number Generator) or also known as “luck”. Here’s a snippet of the rules: all Shadow-Enchanted Spells are banned (such as Fire From Above), Fire Bettle, Elucidate/Simplify, and Guardian Spirit is capped at one per game.
Of course, we will be giving away various prizes to the participants and viewers of the tournament like we do every year!
