Tournament of Triumph Returns for 2026

[p][/p][p]It’s time for the Tournament of Triumph’s big return![/p][p]Thanks to your feedback during the 2024 Tournament of Triumph, we've made some changes to the way the event will work this year. From January 30th through February 12th, cheer on your favorite Spirits and play through winter-themed Sky activities to help them progress through the event bracket. [/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]A bevy of spirits have signed up to participate this year, but they need your support![/p][p]When Tournament of Triumph begins, you can join the contest by talking to the Event Spirit, who will teleport you to the event space in Valley of Triumph’s coliseum. [/p][p]Once you’re there, you can vote for a spirit each day and represent them in the current bracket. Help them compete by playing various sports to win medals – these medals will go toward your spirit’s score for the day.[/p][p]The winners will be announced the next day, once the spirits have had a chance to tally the results. You can also check on the current bracket standings any time by viewing the sign in the event space.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]There are a number of new activities to participate in, along with returning games from 2024’s Tournament of Triumph event. Get ready for crab races, snowball throwing, flying challenges, and more![/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Along with collecting medals for your chosen spirits, you can earn up to five Event Tickets per day by voting for spirits and returning to the coliseum after completing sport events. There are an additional 15 Event Tickets available as one-time pickups, for a total of 85 possible Event Tickets that can be exchanged for up to two new cosmetics.[/p][p]Tournament of Triumph has additional offerings of new and returning collectibles available for regular Candles, Ascended Candles, and as in-app purchases. You can find these collectibles by interacting with the spell and furniture shop on the central platform of the coliseum, talking to the Blushing Prospector spirit near the central platform, interacting with the Crab of Triumph event spirit near the stage, and of course through the Shop tab of the game’s main menu.
[/p][p]New IAP Collectibles:[/p]
  • [p]Tournament Sleek Skating Set[/p]
  • [p]Tournament Crystalline Cape[/p]
[p]Returning IAP Collectibles:[/p]
  • [p]Tournament Golden Garland[/p]
  • [p]Tournament Tunic[/p]
[p][/p][p][/p][p]To wrap up the event, the winning spirit will be announced in the closing ceremony on February 10th. During the last three days of Tournament of Triumph, the sporting events will continue to be available for fun, and the winner will be on stage in the coliseum to celebrate their victory and the thrill of friendly competition in Sky.[/p][p][/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]
