What to Expect from the New Season 1 format (2.8.2)
Disclaimer: New formats are not released yet and this is my best guess at how the new season 1 format will look.
As Infinity Kingdom transitions into a reworked Season 1, many players—especially veterans from early release servers—are wondering what has changed. The upcoming version of Season 1 appears to follow the framework of what has traditionally been known as Season 2, incorporating multiple new systems and content updates. Here’s a breakdown of the key features and what players should prepare for.
🆕 Major Changes in the New Season 1
🧙♂️ Level 50 Castle Cap
- The maximum castle level increases from 40 to 50, allowing further progression.
- Players will need substantial resources and speedups to reach this new cap.
Link to all building costs and requirements.
🌀 Chaos Immortals
- All Chaos-element Immortals are available through the Chaos Roulette.
- Expect them to be expensive, priced similarly to how Holy Immortals were on release around 6-9K each depending on speed.

⚔️ Immortal Specializations
- Specialization system is added for Immortals, granting powerful stat boosts and effects.
- Players will need to collect large amounts of immortal fragments again – begin banking now!
- Dragons do not get specializations yet—that feature is introduced in Season 3.
💎 Artifact System
- Elite Artifacts (EAs) are available, much like in original Season 1.
- Slight improvement in accessibility via more coins in Mysterium, but not drastically easier.
📘 Skill System Updates
- No Chaos-element exclusive skills yet.
- Well of Time skill pool is refreshed or updated.
- Expect tweaks that bring some meta-shifting possibilities.
🎯 Event & Currency Changes
🌌 Galaxy & Theia Changes
- Holy and Shadow Immortals are available in the Galaxy shop—A LOT cheaper than Theia.
- This significantly lowers the cost for completing Holy/Shadow teams.
- Chaos Immortals remain tied to Chaos Roulette, with premium pricing.
👑 King of the Hill (KoH) Updates
- KoH now features all GP heroes (including strong options like YSS).
- These previously season-locked Immortals can now be obtained more flexibly.
🧭 Improved Event Rewards
- Rewards across events are slightly better than old Season 1, though not radically different.
🧰 Preparation Guide for Players
To prepare for the new Season 1 (Season 2-style), here’s what to focus on:
Resource Banking
- Save resources and speedups for pushing to Castle 50.
- AP (Action Points) will be valuable for farming new equipment and events.
- Stockpile EXP scrolls for new Immortals and specialization leveling.
- Stockpile Enchanted Stones for new levels on Equipment.
Currency Management
- Save up and bank Galaxy Crystal Balls: Save for Holy and Shadow Immortals.
- Spending funds: Prepare for Chaos Roulette if aiming for Chaos units.
Progression
- Aim to reach Castle 40 before the season update.
- Maximize tech upgrades, and build strong dragon levels and equipment setups.
- T5 troops are expected, so complete that progression path where possible.
💬 Current Meta Snapshot
- Pure Earth teams remain strong and popular (e.g., Fu Fei, Alex, Charles).
- Mixed marches are still viable, especially for mid-tier or flexible strategies.
- Whales dominate with full Chaos setups, but aren’t the only meta-defining option.
- Apollo specialization is notable among top players.
📌 Final Notes
- Transitioning into the new Season 1 may come with uncertainty—some players report conflicting info about jump mechanics or update timing.
- As always, stockpile strategically and adapt early to seize advantages.
- Expect more clarity once the season actually goes live or patch notes are officially released.
