Crystal Fragments Season Brings Play to Airdrop in OverKnights

What Is OverKnights?

If you enjoy fast-paced PvP and strategic deck building, OverKnights may already be on your radar. This free-to-play card battler invites players to create customizable humanoid robots using unique parts, while assembling diverse decks of cards. Each match feels like a tactical duel, with cards transforming into cinematic mech combat moves as you attempt to outsmart and overpower your opponent.

OverKnights takes inspiration from action-packed fighting games, but adds the strategy of turn-based card combat. You’ll block attacks, plan counters, and tactically secure victory to earn new parts, cards, and upgrades—helping you build stronger mechs and better decks for future battles.

Currently available in open alpha on the Epic Games Store for Windows PC, OverKnights is supported by Immutable and Sequence. You can play right away without a web3 wallet, but connecting your Immutable Passport unlocks access to crypto-powered features such as USDC rewards on OverForge 3.0 leaderboards. Soon, the game will also introduce its own token, making now the perfect time to sharpen your skills.

Introducing the Crystal Fragments Season

Web3 developer Obitus Games has announced the Crystal Fragments Season, a Play-to-Airdrop (P2A) event that runs from early September until mid-November. Unlike passive earning models, this season emphasizes skill, consistency, and strategic play.

Players who participate can earn tradable NFTs called Fragments, which can later be converted into Tickets. These Tickets will directly determine allocations of the upcoming $OVC token airdrop, expected around mid-to-late November. Alongside this, leaderboard competition will offer $IMX token rewards for top performers.

Interestingly, the event won’t be a single long grind. Instead, it will be broken into multiple “mini-seasons” with strategic breaks in between. This structure makes the event more accessible, giving players multiple chances to join in without feeling locked out if they miss the start.

How the Crystal Fragments Event Works

At its core, the Crystal Fragments Season revolves around collecting Quantum Caches by completing daily and weekly quests.

• Daily quest = 1 Cache

• Weekly quest = 3 Caches

Each Cache contains a randomized amount of Fragments, which come in two forms:

• Fragment Shards

• Rare Fragment Crystals

Both can be converted into Tickets, redeemable for $OVC tokens after the token generation event (TGE). Alternatively, you can sell them as NFTs or use them for in-game presale items. Holding Shards until the end of the season may also earn you $IMX tokens, providing another avenue for rewards.

Loot Tables and the Pilot Badge Advantage

Not all rewards are distributed equally. The number of Fragments you’ll find in each Cache is determined by a loot table system, which has two tiers:

1. Free Player Loot Table – accessible to everyone.

2. Pilot Badge Loot Table – exclusive to those who purchase the game’s VIP pass.

The Pilot Badge isn’t just a simple pass—it’s a tradable NFT asset. Each account can only hold one, but you can buy, sell, or even gift it. Having one grants access to more lucrative loot drops and helps fund a shared seasonal reward pool.

Additionally, Genesis Pilot NFT holders benefit from reward multipliers, boosting their Fragment earnings significantly.

Climbing Leaderboards and Referral Bonuses

Beyond collecting Fragments, OverKnights will also feature ELO rankings and social leaderboards, allowing players to showcase their skills while competing for even more prizes. Referral bonuses will also play a role, rewarding you for bringing friends into the event.

According to the P2A roadmap preview shared earlier this year, rewards may include not only $OVC and $IMX, but also possible USDC incentives in future updates.

Why Crystal Fragments Season Matters for Blockchain Gamers

What sets the Crystal Fragments Season apart is its skill-first approach to blockchain rewards. Unlike traditional play-to-earn models, where grinding often overshadowed gameplay, OverKnights is pushing toward a compete-to-earn philosophy.

This approach aligns with the evolving landscape of blockchain games, where fun gameplay and sustainable economies are becoming just as important as rewards. By making rewards tradable, flexible, and skill-dependent, Obitus Games is giving players real agency over their participation.
