❄ Introduction to Frosty Fortune

Frosty Fortune is a time-limited event where players earn Gems of Enigma by completing daily missions. These gems are used to open chests on a board filled with different rewards — from basic items to the coveted Thorns of Enigma, the event’s premium currency.

🔹 How the Event Works

Complete daily missions to earn Gems of Enigma.
Use those gems to open chests on the board.
Each chest may contain Thorns, hero shards, gear chests, and more.
Opening chests earns you points for Tiered Rewards.
You can refresh the board 3 times for free daily. Further refreshes cost gems.

🗓️ Daily Missions

Each day, the Frosty Fortune event provides a new set of Daily Missions. Completing these tasks rewards you with valuable items — most importantly, Gems of Enigma, which are required to open Silver, Gold, or Red Chests.

💡 Missions reset every 24 hours, so be sure to complete them daily to maximize rewards.

Daily Missions List

Logging in
Using a certain amount of speedups
Defeating beasts
Using Epic Recruitment
Completing Intel missions
Increasing power by training/promoting troops

These tasks will reward you with:

Enigma Gems
Speedups
Hero XP
Treasure Hunt Points

🎯 Treasure Hunt Points & Rules

During the Frosty Fortune event, completing the Daily Missions will reward you with Treasure Hunt Points. These points accumulate in the Treasure Hunt Drill section and unlock valuable rewards such as speedups, training items, and Gems of Enigma, which are essential for opening chests and obtaining rare items.

The more missions you complete, the more points you earn — and after all milestone rewards have been claimed, every 500 additional points will grant an extra reward chest.

💡 Remember: points reset daily, and claiming rewards consistently is key to maximizing your event progress.

📘 Event Rules

📜 Complete Daily Missions to earn Treasure Hunt Points

📜 Use the points in the Treasure Hunt Drill tab to claim rewards

📜 Missions reset daily at 00:00 UTC

📜 You can purchase Treasure Hunt Tomes to unlock double daily rewards and gain access to premium seasonal loot

🧊 Chest Opening Mechanics

During the Frosty Fortune event, players will encounter a grid of 9 treasure chests, each potentially holding valuable rewards. These chests appear in different rarities, and opening them requires 60 Gems of Enigma per chest.

After all chests are opened, the entire grid will refresh for free, giving players a new set of opportunities. You can get up to 3 free refreshes per day. After that, additional refreshes cost Gems of Enigma.

Each chest opened grants Treasure Points, which accumulate and unlock milestone rewards shown at the top of the screen — including speedups, shards, gear, and even more Enigma resources.

Below, you’ll find a detailed breakdown of the different chest types and what you can expect from each 👇
