Hey gang! The S2 demo has been out for a couple of weeks-ish now, but we’re only just getting revved up with competitive play. Today’s blog is gonna cover all the essentials for what you need to know in order to compete…and win! We’ll be covering leaderboards, the Guild Wars, and all the prizes at stake.
Reminder that you can download and play the S2 demo for FREE right now! HERE. Enjoy it, then go to our Discord and give us that juicy feedback. We love that feedback. We eat it. We eat it all up. Yum.
Reminder #2: we’ve got a big ol’ token (ANIMA — our p2e token) airdrop coming soon, and we’ll be adjusting the total amount of tokens dropped as well as distribution by how this season — including the competitive play — is received. Get involved and add to the token pile!
Also, a quick note for your Apostle grinders out there. Some of you are well underway with collecting a host of excellent Apostles for minting at season’s end. We just want to say: Apostle hunters, diversify your Apostles! Don’t put all your eggs in one dood basket, so to speak.
With that being said, let’s get to it.
We’ll start with leaderboards. There are two leaderboards: Individual leaderboards — for everyone — and the Guild War leaderboards — for communities participating in the Guild Wars. Both leaderboards will be live starting on Wednesday, June 21st, and will run until mid July.
Unlike S1, which was based around speedrunning, the leaderboards in S2 are based on distance — how deep you can make it through the dungeon. For the individual leaderboards, the person who has cleared the most rooms will be at the top of the charts. For the Guild War leaderboards, the standings for a community will be based on the sums of the top 3 community members’ best clearances.
Speaking of the Guild War leaderboards, the top 16 communities will qualify for the Apeiron Guild Wars (AGW) Season 2 Preliminaries, which will be held over the course of about a week in late July, just after the season has concluded.
In order to participate in the Guild Wars, interested communities will need to register. We will provide registration links when the leaderboards go live next week. Communities that successfully register will be rewarded with 5 Doodelic Wings, a seasonal item each providing one free Apostle mint.
Also, for individuals, please note that once you commit to representing a certain community, if you switch communities at any point, all of your leaderboard progress will be wiped (individual and Guild Wars). Additionally, in the last 24hrs of the season, players may not switch communities.
Once the season closes up and we have our participating communities, the AGW S2 Prelims will be a single elimination tournament. During each match, communities will be paired against each other in special Boss Rush dungeons — which is to say, just the bosses. It’s a race to see how many bosses teams can beat in the allotted time — or die trying. Matches will be streamed live on our Twitch channel with commentary!
For the Boss Rush, teams will be provided with curated accounts of the same level, with the same set of Apostles and Artifacts available to them, to make sure that everyone begins on a level playing field. From that point, it’ll be up to each team to devise their own winning strategies.
Now let’s get to the good stuff: prizes! For this season’s AGW, we’re upping the ante with more rewards at stake than ever before, from Planets to Stars to cold hard crypto cash. We want to see more communities join us in our Apeiron journey, and we hope these rewards will encourage everyone to give our game a go!
Each of the top 10 communities in the Guild Wars will receive:
A Planet pack, including Planets and mBH — or mini Black Holes — which are used for breeding Planets. Planets provide you with Avatars, which are the commanders of your PvE and PvP battling.
A Star pack, including a Star and some amount of Astronomicals. Stars give you passive gameplay bonuses as well as passive renting opportunities. Astronomicals let you customize and improve your Star’s functionality.
S2 goodies, including Doodelic Wings and Golden Apostle Tickets. Doodelic Wings (usable once per account) can be used to claim 1 free mint at the end of S2, and Golden Apostle Tickets can be used to claim a high IV (high base stats) Apostle from among the Priest, Warrior, or Hunter classes.
Top communities will also get a cash prize.
To be clear, getting to the top of the Guild Wars leaderboards gets you entry into the AGW S2 Prelims, where you’ll be able to compete for the following prizes.

About Apeiron
Apeiron is the world’s first NFT-based play-and-earn godgame. Apeiron will feature a unique card-based action-adventure combat system combined with god game simulation gameplay inspired by classic god games like Populous and Black & White. Players will be able to build up planets from above before descending to the ground as a powerful Avatar to solve the mysteries of the universe. Players will grow their planet to the point of developmental stagnation, then reset the planetary cycle via an Armageddon event to allow for even more advancement and thrilling late-game alliance level GvE and GvG activities. Apeiron will use a tri-token architecture, which means that there will be three separate tokens to navigate their ecosystem: a governance token, a play-to-earn token, and a premium alliance token.
