🏆 Prize Kingdom
A competition kingdom with real cash prizes; disabled features, ad tickets, the starter pack, gems, the prize pool, how the prize is split between guilds and the Hades Legion top 10, qualifying and fair play rules.
A Prize Kingdom is a competition kingdom with a real cash prize. So that everyone competes on equal terms, in this kingdom you can't get ahead with money or ads: the result is decided only by your in-game skill and what you achieve together with your guild. Entry is free.
On the kingdom selection screen these kingdoms appear with the "🏆 Prize kingdom" label.
What's disabled?
Only three things are disabled in a Prize Kingdom:
- Watching real ads. The ad rewards in the shop are still there, but they can only be claimed with a 🎟️ Ad Ticket; the "Watch Ad" buttons don't appear.
- Real-money purchases. The shop's "Buy" section is hidden.
- Harnor transfers. Harnor can't be moved between this kingdom and the global wallet.
Everything else works normally: buying items with gems, converting Harnor to gems, hero transfers, guild rewards, and your global skill and achievement points.
Ad tickets and the starter pack
When you enter the kingdom, a starter pack arrives in the Mail ▸ System tab. The pack contains ad tickets (and, depending on the kingdom, Bonus Harnor). You use these tickets for all ad effects, such as production boosts and speedups. The pack's contents may vary from kingdom to kingdom.
💡 Tip: Tickets are limited. Instead of spending them at random, save them for the moments where they help most, such as production boosts.
Gems
In every kingdom, gems sit in a separate wallet belonging to that kingdom; the Prize Kingdom uses its own wallet too:
- When you enter this kingdom, your wallet starts with at most 200 gems.
- Gems you earn or spend here don't affect your gems in other kingdoms.
- Gems from reward mails are also added to this kingdom's wallet.
- In-game gem gains are checked more strictly here; unusual increases are trimmed.
Prize pool
Prize Kingdoms have a prize pool. The pool equals number of qualifying players × prize per player. So every qualifying player in the kingdom makes the pool bigger. In some kingdoms the pool may have a cap. The per-player amount is set per kingdom and may change while the competition is running.
The pool's current size, the per-player amount and the number of qualifying players are shown live on the kingdom selection screen. While you're in this kingdom you can also see your own status, i.e. whether you qualify.
Qualifying
To be counted in the pool:
- You must have been active in the kingdom for at least a certain number of days. The number of days required varies by kingdom.
- If the kingdom requires it, your account must be linked to an email or Google. Guest accounts don't count.
- You must not have left the kingdom and must not have been exiled.
The prize is only paid to real players who qualify. If someone who doesn't qualify places in a ranking, that share moves to the next qualifying player.
How is the prize split?
The pool is split into two parts. The rates below are the defaults; they may be set differently per kingdom and are stated in the kingdom's competition rules.
Guild share: 60% — Hades' conquerors
60% of the pool goes to the guilds that defeat Hades' Fortress, in order of victory:
| Conqueror | Of the guild share |
|---|---|
| 1st victory | 50% |
| 2nd victory | 30% |
| 3rd victory | 20% |
A guild's share is split among members who qualify and have cleared stage 10 of the Vanguard:
- 25% is split equally.
- 75% is split in proportion to damage dealt to Hades.
Personal share: 40% — Hades Legion top 10
The remaining 40% goes to the top 10 players in the Hades Legion ranking:
| Rank | 1st | 2nd | 3rd | 4th | 5th | 6th | 7th | 8th | 9th | 10th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Of the personal share | 25% | 18% | 13% | 10% | 8% | 7% | 6% | 5% | 4% | 4% |
Example: If the pool is $10,000, the guild share is $6,000 and the 1st conquering guild gets $3,000. The personal share is $4,000; first place in the legion ranking gets $1,000.
The legion ranking also gives the in-game rewards that everyone receives.
ℹ️ Each winner's account is reviewed manually before payment.
Fair play
The Prize Kingdom follows a one player, one account rule:
- Multiple accounts opened from the same device or the same network are reviewed.
- Accounts found to break the rules are removed from the prize pool and from rewards.
- Accounts whose game records show signs of cheating (such as impossible progress) may also be removed from rewards.
- Feeding your own main account with alt accounts is against the rules.
⚠️ Several real players playing in the same home or on the same network is not a rule violation by itself; each case is reviewed separately. Running more than one account, however, costs you your right to a prize.
