Hello hello! Jenn from s470’s RoP - Rise of the Phoenix here. A brand new adventure is upon us, let’s see what surprises are waiting around the corner!

Even before our previous event ended, Dr. Mingo had everyone buzzing with talks about the upcoming season: “The Mutated Jungle.” The hints and discoveries kept us all excited and curious. Let’s dive into Dr. Mingo’s findings to get a sneak peek of what’s in store for this season!

Sneak Peeks from Dr. Mingo!!

Dr. Mingo couldn’t wait to share his discoveries about the Mutated Jungle! Here’s a sneak peek at what’s waiting for us this season.

Takeaway: Fairer battles, deeper strategy, new zones, and powerful Special Ants make this X-Dimension season a whole new level of gameplay.

Season Registration

We were super excited as soon as we got back to our server from the event and saw the new event up!

We’ve successfully registered for Mutated Jungle beta, and can’t wait to see what new surprises the new event has in store for us!

Group Merge

There was a lot of talk in the Ants community about Group merges, and we were patiently waiting, hoping for some good news.

A few days later, we got a message from Fairy in-game about the group merge, and we were all veryyy happppy! Especially me!

I want to give a big thank you to our amazing Fairy Michael, for listening to the community’s feedback and making our wishes come true.

My group, Group 2 [S301–550], has merged with Group 1 [S2–300], and we’re now proudly part of Group 1 [S2–550] now!

Welcoming Players

We welcomed lots of new friends from the old Group 1 and our Group 2 now Group 1, along with old friends and even friends who were opponents or allies in our past events, all joining us for this new season in RoP. It’s great to have everyone back together! We’re excited to see what the Mutated Jungle has in store for all of us this season. This will be a fun season.

Season Preparation

As always, we start preparing for our next event the moment we return home from the previous one. We focus on saving resources, teleports, healing speedups, and diamonds.

During the War of Kings event that happens every week, we farm speedups on the squirters along with our allies and our alternate clan.

The more ants you heal fighting on the squirters during the War of Kings, the more healing speedups you’ll get (double of what you spent) once the tree is captured or once the event ends at reset.

We encourage our members to have atleast 25-30k healing speedups before we leave for the event so no of us run out of healing speedups fast.

Matchmaking Period

Our signup for the Mutated Jungle Beta was successful, and we are now in the matchmaking period.

We’re really excited to see how matchmaking will be this season. Cant wait to see which camp we get to be a part of, who our allies would be and who would be our opponents on the event. Since this is a new event, almost every clan with the new season on their server will be registering, so the matchmaking should be interesting.

Stay tuned for more updates…

Matchmaking Results

We got a level VI difficulty match and got to be part of the red camp The Golden Acorn Camp.

We are allies with CAS and DEF this event, I’ve heard a lot about CAS and I finally got to meet them so I am happy. They’re an amazing team, and I’m happy to see Yuna, one of our former staff members, with them. CAS told us all a lot about DEF. It feels awesome to have two wonderful teams fighting alongside us this season!

At the Blue Camp – The Snowy Cedar Camp, we have dys, ACE, and BLS. With dys being such a competitive clan, this lineup is looking exciting already, this event is going to be wild!

Selection Period

(camp leader, protection time & homezone)

CAMP LEADER

We all voted for CAS - Newton to be our camp leader this event. He’s incredible, and we’re fully convinced he’ll lead our camp to glorious, sparkly victory.

PROTECTION TIME

The Mutated Jungle has similar protection time rules as Vast Jungle had, if one camp is at protection the other camp is also at protection and can’t build, destroy or take buildings. After careful discussion about this topic, we decided to block 00:00-08:00 UTC.

Our opponents the Verdant Camp have selected 08:00-16:00 UTC as their protection time. We will have fights from 16:00-00:00 UTC - 8hrs of war this season

HOMEZONE

The new map looks really interesting, each zone has small changes, and overall everything feels much more balanced. Both camps have equal buffs now, with no extra advantages on either side. Red Camp has always had the Land of Abundance, and now Blue Camp gets Area 51, so it finally feels like both sides have their own special zone. In addition, we also have the Fruitland for both camps - a mini event under this event something which is new and interesting this season.

After discussion among allies, we RoP chose Birds Stream, CAS - Suffocated Lizard and DEF Snail Pit Fairyland for our initial place.

On the Snowy Cedar Camp , dys took Antler forest the zone on the right to the north clash area, ACE - Snowy Peak region which is the left region to the north clash area and BLS let the system assign them a random area and got the Shade Trees Land for their homezone.

Can’t wait to explore things soon on the event.

Stay tuned for week 1 updates..

Jungle - Week 1

We’ve arrived in the Mutated Jungle. After settling in and unpacking our bags, we wasted no time exploring the map and getting familiar with everything around us. It already feels like an exciting place to be.

There are so many new things to explore this season, and Dr. Mingo’s sneak peeks have us even more curious about what’s ahead.

The first thing we always do is encourage all our members to focus on increasing their Honor to atleast 40k as early as possible before the first war begins.

You can increase your honor by doing the following:

* Capturing higher-level nodes
* Enhancing buildings
* Completing season and camp achievements, which reward you with seasonal ants upon completion

There have been some changes to the buffs provided by each building when they’re enhanced. These adjustments shake things up a bit, making upgrades feel more impactful and encouraging everyone to pay closer attention to how each building contributes to overall progress this season.

Now, literally every building’s enhancement is important. Each upgrade plays a bigger role than before, so every improvement you make really counts this season.

There are also major changes to the items available in the Season Store, as well as to the ways you can acquire Season Fruits to purchase items.

Enhancing the Evolution Fungi building doesn’t just boost the attack of your Season Soldier Ants, it also increases the amount of Season Fruits you earn from key activities. These include hunting insects or hornets, defeating lizards or crested lizards, and gathering resources. Upgrading this building makes your ants stronger while also improving your Season Fruit income, making it one of the important upgrade for overall progress this season.

Buildings Capture

Our Week 1 goal was to build to every building in our home zone, to the buildings we split among each other on the Land of Abundance, and to also make our way toward the tunnels of each of our allies as quickly as possible. Getting these connections in place early was key, especially before stepping into the Fruitful Land.

During his sneak peeks, Dr. Mingo highlighted several important changes introduced in the Mutated Jungle season, one of the biggest being how building capture difficulty has been adjusted. Take a look at the details below:

Our ally DEF jumped in first and put the new building changes to the test. Capturing buildings is definitely tougher than before, but still very doable and honestly much smoother than Surreal Wetland, where we had to battle bots to drain supplies before even thinking about a capture.

In the Mutated Jungle, the challenge comes from the stationed troops themselves. It now takes noticeably longer to clear them out, which makes every capture feel more earned. Since we’re still early in the season and haven’t unlocked our Season Ants yet, the difficulty was bumped up just a bit but in a good way. It adds more teamwork, and excitement to every building push.

Also buildings on the initial place of our camp - the Golden Acorn Camp and the buildings on the Land of Abundance were of higher level and much harder than the buildings the blue camp - Snowy Cedar Camp has on their Initial zone and on Area 51. It definitely made the early pushes a bit challenging, but also more rewarding once those buildings were secured.

Week 1 Milestones

Stay tuned for Week 2 updates..

Jungle - Week 2

Week 2 in the Jungle. Our camp has already completed building to all buildings on our initial zones as well as in the tree area. We are now making our way to the key tunnels so we’re fully prepared when access to the clash areas opens later on. The Snowy Cedar Camp still has few buildings to take on their initial zones and in Area 51, and are working on it..

The Campsites on the Fruitful Land - the mini event will be opening in just a few days. We’re really excited and can’t wait for our first PvP battles of the season once the tunnels finally open.

Our ally CAS came up with a strong strategic plan for our camp for this mini event, making it extremely difficult for our opponents to break through and reach our Fruit buildings.

Our first war begins today, in our camp, all three of us were positioned at both the top and bottom tunnel, ready to support one another whenever help was needed.

On the opponents’ side, dys focused on the top tunnel and built halfway toward the bottom tunnel. ACE was ready at both tunnels, while BLS, who held the Wonder in this region, had yet to reach the top tunnel.

CAS and DEF were focusing on the top while we RoP focused below.

We had BLS fighting us here and ACE whose priority was the top tunnel also defending their tower here below which we were burning here while fighting BLS as top priority.
CAS was fighting ACE and DEF at dys on the top. CAS pushed ACE a lot so BLS started building to the top fast and switched focus there and ACE came to fight us below but got ppushed here as well.
Overall, our camp did a really good job in our first fight of the season.

With that, Week 2 comes to an end. Stay tuned for the next update to find out how the mini event unfolded.

Week 2 Milestones

Did the Golden Acorn Camp get the Snowy Cedar Camp’s Fruit Buildings?..

Jungle - Week 3

A new week begins in the Jungle, and things are getting interesting.
After the first fight on the Fruitful Land, the Snowy Cedar Camp seemed to have lost confidence. They seem to have gave up on the north.

All three clans chose to focus on a 3vs1 against us on the south, even though we weren’t anywhere near their Fruit buildings. Meanwhile, they avoided CAS , who was steadily making their way toward the Fruit building.

We needed support against the 3v1 pressure, and both CAS and DEF responded instantly to help relieve the pressure while also building in parallel through the top tunnel toward our camp’s objective. DEF also jumped straight into the fight, helping us hold and pressure BLS on the front lines. We quickly shifted our focus to defending the tower that BLS was burning so we wouldn’t lose too much ground. Once CAS was able to engage BLS, we switched to defend against dys, and later turning our attention to ACE. Big appreciation to our allies for the instant backup and smooth coordination that kept everything under control.

CAS built toward our camp’s first major objective - the Blue Camp’s Fruit Residence, which was occupied by ACE and successfully claimed it. ACE didn’t put up much resistance; instead, they spammed multiple towers to slow CAS down while focusing their efforts on fighting us.

This marked our camp’s first big achievement of the season, and huge cheers to CAS for setting the pace early and giving us a strong advantage right from the start.

Our camp’s next objective was the Wonder held by BLS. CAS moved in for the Wonder and, along the way, also claimed another Fruit Building that was occupied by ACE. Meanwhile, us RoP and DEF kept our opponents busy, holding their attention and keeping them distracted. Despite this, our opponents stayed focused on fighting us and DEF, allowing CAS to push objectives smoothly.

The opponents once again pulled a 3v1 against us. We held on as long as we could, but it became clear that they were more focused on farming kills and points rather than pushing objectives. Seeing this, we made a quick decision to shift our focus to the north tunnel. Together with DEF, we pushed to claim dys’s Fruit Building, giving dys a 2v1 fight, while CAS continued making their way toward the BLS Wonder.

CAS was able to claim the Wonder with ease. Huge congratulations to CAS on securing such a key objective for our camp. An excellent push and a well-earned achievement that gave us a big boost moving forward.

On the other side, we RoP and DEF were making a move on dys’s building. Since DEF was closer, dys focused on fighting them first and spammed towers on the path we were building through that would lead to their building. We decided to take the path from above, which was completely clear of towers, giving us a clean approach. Meanwhile, dys continued fighting DEF below.

Once we reached near the building, we started burning dys from above while DEF fought them below. DEF suggested we hit their Residence together, so after clearing the tower and building ours touching the Residence, we coordinated and us RoPgot the last hit! We then continued destroying all of dys’s nearby towers.

dys fought incredibly well the entire 8 hours, they’re an amazing clan!
DEF had to switch focus to defend against ACE , who arrived late to the party.

With that, our mini event - the Fruitful Event came to an end, and our camp won it! YAYYYY!!!

After the Fruitful Event ended, all the buildings in that region were completely destroyed.

Campsites in the Environmental Zones open tomorrow. We made sure to save enough clay so we start the new day with a full supply.

dys did a tower transfer to BLS in their homezone, near the tunnel that leads to the north clash area.

Our goal was to grab as many important buffs as possible and get fully prepared for the main battle at the North Clash, which would open in just a few days.

ACE tried to distract our camp by taking the tunnel to our Environmental Zone, making it look like they were heading for the Residence. We stayed calm and didn’t let it bother us.

Meanwhile, CAS made a decisive move on their Environmental Zone and captured BLS’s Residence. This time, BLS put up a bit more resistance, since their camp had a buff on that zone, but CAS handled it expertly!

And with that, Week 3 comes to an end! What a thrilling week packed with intense battles, clever strategies, and unforgettable moments in the Jungle!

The tunnels and Campsites leading to the North Clash area will open in just a few days! Stay tuned to see how the battles unfold and which camp will take the lead!

Jungle - Week 4

Week 4 is here, and the tunnels and campsites in the North Clash area have officially opened! This is one of the most important stages of the event, as every Wonder captured plays a crucial role in determining the final winner.

ACE is building through the tunnel in their home zone and making their way toward the left side of the Wonder. Meanwhile, dys came through the tunnel in their home zone and started moving toward the right side, while BLS was building through the campsite and advancing toward the northeast side.

Our camp chose to build through DEF’s homezone tunnel and make our way toward the Wonder. Our plan was to secure the lower area near the Wonder first, then steadily push upward to take control of the top side.

Once dys captured the lair on the right side of the Wonder, they quickly switched plans and began building upward through the campsite toward the buildings above, they didn’t seem to interested to go for the Wonder. By then, CAS had nearly secured the lower area near the Wonder, so they shifted their push to the top and started building through the campsite as well.

Meanwhile, we RoP faced ACE on the left side. We pushed them back from the Wonder and reclaimed the lair they had taken in that region.

After securing the south west and south east side of the wonder, both us RoP and DEF shifted focus to the top to start grabbing buildings there, while CAS pushed through dys taking their building on the way and went straight to eliminate BLS from the north east side of the wonder.

BLS resisted a little but mostly focussed on tower spamming the region to slow down CAS from eliminating them completely from the Wonder area.

When the Wonder bonus dropped, both RoP and DEF were already built up to the Wonder. At the same time, CAS was just a few towers away from reaching it from both the northeast and southeast regions. However, we couldn’t afford to wait, as BLS was also touching the Wonder. That meant we had to take our chance and go for the last hit.

BLS had a big advantage, they controlled the Residence in the northeast region, allowing them to port freely and port much closer to the Wonder. In contrast, space was extremely limited for both RoP and DEF.

In the end, BLS secured the last hit and immediately shifted focus to destroying our tower near the Wonder. They also attempted to sneak into the northwest region to contest a building we were advancing toward, but we spotted it in time and accelerated our build, forcing them to abandon that plan.

With very limited space to defend, we had to hold our ground while BLS, benefiting from teleport access through the Wonder, stayed close and kept burning our tower. Despite the pressure, we resisted well and gradually built additional towers to create more space and gain closer positions at the front.

Meanwhile, DEF was facing a tough 3v1 situation. Once BLS began to slow down, we moved in to assist DEF and pushed back ACE, who had built towards us while we were focused on the Wonder. DEF then shifted focus to deal with dys in the northwest region.

CAS was eliminating BLS from the northeast region while simultaneously building through the southeast, aiming to take the Wonder from BLS as quickly as possible.

Once CAS reached the Wonder, they secured it from BLS without any resistance. A clean and decisive takeover.

It was a crazy, action-packed day, and I absolutely loved the teamwork and coordination our camp showed throughout it all.

The next day, our focus as RoP was to eliminate ACE from the southwest region near the lair we took from them before few days. They had heavily spammed the area with unfinished towers in an attempt to hold their ground and prepare for a push, but we were ready to shut it down.

We successfully defended the lair through all 3–4 of their attempts that day, burning down their towers and pushing them farther back each time. After failing to break through, they stopped contesting directly and began sneakily building toward the Residence in the northwest region that we were also advancing toward.

To keep us distracted, they continued applying pressure near the lair below so we wouldn’t notice their progress above. They repeatedly spammed unfinished towers, and whenever we built a tower to burn theirs, they would dismantle it immediately, trying to drain our clay and slow our push toward the Residence.

We shifted our focus fully to pushing toward the Residence above and managed to reach it before them, while they were still two towers away from touching it.

With the protection period still active, we scheduled the capture for the next day as soon as it lifted and took it. After that, we continued applying pressure and pushed them even farther away from the area.

CAS was making their way toward dys’s Wonder in the Blue Camp’s Environmental Zone.

dys jumped in to defend briefly and spammed a few towers in an attempt to slow them down. However, CAS burned through all the defenses, successfully captured the Wonder, and continued advancing toward other buildings within the Blue Camp’s Environmental Zone. With this, CAS secured yet another victory for our camp by claiming the Blue Camp’s Wonder.

DEF was fighting dys in the northwest region, actively defending their towers and buildings.

Soon after, dys shifted focus and started building toward us, aiming for the lair held by us RoP. Anticipating the pressure, we prepared in advance by placing additional towers to create enough space for a solid defense. DEF, who were already close by in that region, built toward us as well to provide support in case we needed assistance.

ACE carried out a tower transfer to dys in their home zone, near the tunnel they share with DEF.

With that, our week came to an end. It was an intense and exciting week filled with nonstop action and great teamwork. Stay tuned to find out what happens next in the Jungle!

Jungle - Week 5

The event is almost coming to an end, with just one week left for us in the Jungle.

Previously, we saw ACE transfer a tower to dys in their home zone near DEF’s tunnel. At the same time, dys began heading our way in the North Clash area toward the lair held by us RoP. What happened next… we’re about to find out.

With just a few days left in the event, it felt like everyone just wanted to have some fun with each other before it all ended. dys placed a tower touching us, so we went in to fight them. While that was happening, we noticed BLS slowly advancing toward our tunnel in our home zone. We were only a few towers away, so we immediately started building toward them from the side to block their progress.

We were fighting dys, but as soon as BLS placed a tower in our home zone, we immediately shifted our focus there. They were clearly there just for some fun as well, since they hadn’t seen much action during the event and hadn’t fought much overall. The home zone buff is extremely strong, giving us +800% attack and defense, along with a +400% health boost.

We destroyed their towers, and they eventually pulled back since the home zone buff was simply too strong for them to handle. After that, we returned to defending our tower against dys. Meanwhile, ACE had been quietly building their way back toward our lair while we were focused on dys.

We clearly needed help, as it was impossible to be at two different war points at the same time. Our ally CAS stepped in to help us deal with dys and pushed them far away from our position.

ACE had previously tried to sneak in and take this same lair last week, attacking it four times despite troop resets and failing each time. They’re back again now, making their fifth attempt.

During their previous attempt, ACE focused only on the lair and didn’t bother defending their tower at all, so we destroyed them quickly. This time, they changed tactics. Their first priority was defending their tower with one unit, while the other three troops were used to rally the lair. Even after several attempts, they failed once again. In the end, we pushed them far away from the lair and secured our ground.

After this, BLS carried out a tower transfer to dys at their home zone tunnel, which leads toward our camp’s Environmental Zones. We, RoP, were the closest to that tunnel and still had buildings in the area left to claim.

We made it our goal to push ACE far away from our building in the North Clash area, while simultaneously building toward the lair we were yet to claim and the ferry that leads to our residence in the Environmental Zone. This was to ensure we were fully prepared for a possible BLS + dys invasion. We also asked for assistance from CAS, and they responded by building toward us to provide support.

BLS placed a tower on the right side of the tunnel but stopped advancing, most likely because CAS was making their way there as well. Meanwhile, dys started building toward the lair on the left side. We were fully prepared for the fight, and an intense battle followed. Once CAS arrived to support us, dys left too.

While all these wars were unfolding, ACE was quietly building toward our building in our Environmental Zone. We spotted it in time and set up our defenses, all while silently building toward a lair they had already claimed in the area. Honestly, you have to respect ACE’s fighting spirit, they never gave us a moment to breathe, haha.

We successfully claimed ACE’s lair and pushed them a bit farther away from the building they were advancing toward. One thing I truly admire about ACE is their persistence. Every day before reset, they would spam the entire fighting area with towers so they wouldn’t be completely pushed out of the scene. They clearly had no intention of giving up, and that fighting spirit stayed with them till the end.

We wrapped up the week surrounded by nonstop chaos, intense fights, and moments that reminded us why this event was so fun in the first place. So many battles, so many memories, and yet it feels like the Jungle chapter only just began yesterday. Hard to believe we’re already standing at the edge of the finale. Stay tuned for the final Jungle update, the last days are just around the corner.

Jungle - Week 6 (Final Few Days)

The Jungle had begun to grow quiet, a subtle sign that our time here was nearing its end. What began as unfamiliar ground had become a place full of memories, late-night fights, and shared victories. Allies felt like family, rivals earned our respect, and every tower and path told a story we’ll carry with us long after we leave these lands.

With nothing much left on the event, everyone was just having some friendly fights to keep things entertaining till we went home.

Our ally CAS organized a photo and video session for our camp, giving us something we could carry with us long after the event ended. A small moment, but one that captured the memories, the bonds, and the journey we shared in the Jungle.

Final Map

And with that, our adventure in the Jungle reached its final page. It was time to head back home.
