Crownfall Dota 2: All Arcanas, treasures, and rewards

Valve released the highly anticipated Crownfall update today, rallying the Dota 2 community to celebrate a free-to-play game event. But the biggest highlights of Crownfall has to be the launch of Arcanas for Skywrath Mage and Vengeful Spirit. The Arcanas are unique and mesmerizing as usual, but what makes it more exciting, is that it comes with bonus styles that you can unlock. Here is how you can obtain the bonus Arcana styles for Skywrath Mage and Vengeful Spirit!

How to unlock bonus Arcana style for Skywrath Mage



The Skywrath Mage Arcana has the dark default style that you can purchase for $34.99. But there is a bonus style that colors Skywrath Mage in his natural golden glow and you can unlock this style without no additional cost.







To unlock Skywrath Mage's bonus Arcana style, you must complete the Main Quest in Act IV. We are currently in the midst of Act I and as the event unfolds, we will get to the final phase of the event, Act IV. Complete the Main Quest from Start to Finish in Act IV and you will unlock the bonus Skywrath Mage Arcana style - "Sovereigns of Skywrath."






How to unlock bonus Arcana style for Vengeful Spirit



While Skywrath Mage has an additional Arcana style, Vengeful Spirit has two! The default Arcana style for Vengeful Spirit goes for $34.99 which sees the originally gloomy hero in a new, bright, golden glow. Its second style "Servants of Scree'Auk" portrays the hero in her more natural form with a purplish ambiance. To unlock the bonus Arcana style for Vengeful Spirit, you must complete the Main Quest in Act IV. 







The second bonus Arcana style, "Queen Imperia" styles Vengeful Spirit in human-like form with dark aesthetics. Interestingly, this cosmetic actually reflects the sister of Vengeful Spirit who had betrayed her, according to the Dota 2 lore. To unlock the "Queen

MMR Double Down is back in Dota 2, and the infamous mechanic is now available to every player for free. While it seems simple at first, the system can be incredibly rewarding or punishing. 



It’s also suspiciously easy to use them on accident, but depending on your strategy, that could be a good thing. Here’s everything you should know about MMR Double Downs, from how they work to the best strategies for using them.



MMR Double Down returns



MMR Double Down is a returning Dota 2 mechanic where players double the amount of MMR gained or lost from a ranked match. Players activate tokens by opening the menu at the start of the game and confirming their selection. There is no limit to how many players can double down their MMR change in a single game. There’s no cooldown or time limit for them either. The only limiting factor is the amount players own, and more can be unlocked or purchased as Crownfall goes on.



Valve appears to have played a little practical joke with the Double Down system this time. The developer replaced the Dota Plus prediction UI with the Double Down feature, so if you click the same buttons in the same order, you raise the stakes. Try to control your muscle memory at the start of every match, unless you opt for our second recommended strategy.



The game will trick you into using your first one (Image via Valve)



The best way to use your MMR Double Down tokens 



Considering the stats behind the system, there are two valid ways of using Double Down tokens to stack up your MMR.



The first and safer option is to use them strategically. Players submit their token at the start of the game after the draft, which can already give you a decent idea of how the game will go. You can also check your teammates to help decide. If you have a mid Undying and a pre-muted offlane, there’s no need to commit. The same is true if you're playing an off role for Role Queue tokens. Just be patient and cash them in when you’re confident of a

MMR Double Down is back in Dota 2, here’s how they work

Mid-April is finally here! It means Valve just released the Dota 2 Crownfall event, including two brand-new Arcanas. One for Vengeful Spirit, and the other for Skywrath Mage. The update features a new comic for the lore enthusiasts, explaining why these two heroes are the chosen ones.



There is also a new quest mode that you can play right now with the most recent update. In resume, you have to play the indicated heroes to earn tokens that will unlock pieces of the story. You will earn treasures, store coins, candies, and more. Keep reading to find out what you get and how to progress!






The Overworld Map for the Dota 2 Crownfall event



On the in-game main screen, you'll find a button leading to the first act of the story. Click it to enter the Overlord map, which should look like this:



All the paths you can take to follow the Crownfall main and side quests



The paths are randomized between players to prevent multiple accounts from queuing at the same time with similar token requirements. On this screen, you will find all the information you need to start progressing. To start playing, check what's the first token you will need. For this example, the "running" token will allow us to get our first rewards.



This first mission requires a "Running" token and will grant the first rewards.



How do I get the tokens?



As simple as it sounds: Play the hero required on each category to earn tokens. Even though every hero could grant multiple tokens for different categories, some of them will give twice the amount of the same category.



In-game information about tokens to unlock the Crownfall main quest.




Play dota, earn tokens




Every hero has a set of three tokens. (For example, in Act I, Axe has Running, Durable and Initiator tokens.)





If you win a match with that hero, you'll earn one of each token. If you lose, you'll get one of the three tokens randomly. Turbo matches grand two tokens for a win and none for a loss.

The Crownfall Patch has finally arrived! As the Dota 2 community rejoices in the update, there's a ton of new content to unpack. There's of course the brand new treasures and the two new arcanas. But, also coming in the update is a brand new story, and a completely new adventure game for Dota 2 players to embark upon. So without further ado, let's dive into the Crownfall update. 



Reclaiming the Throne 



The first part of the Crownfall update is the story of the whole update. The Ascension Day comic was released early today, which introduces us to the Crownfall storyline. In short, Shendelzare (AKA Vengeful Spirit) had her throne usurped by her sister Imperia. But now with the help of the god Scree'Auk, Skywrath Mage and Vengeful Spirit plan to take the throne back and get their revenge. You can read the full comic here. 


[esports_url link=https://esports.gg/news/dota-2/dota-2-crownfall-comic-ascension-day-summarized/]



Included in the Crownfall update is an adventure that continues the story of Ascension Day. Players will need to guide the newly empowered Vengeful Spirit and Skywrath Mage through the streets of Skywrath to take back the throne. Compared to previous Battle Passes with a branching path for one of three sets, this map has significantly more rewards, minigames and side quests! However, the best part is that players can earn shop coins, which if a player has enough can provide a discount on anything in the Crownfall Store. 







The Crownfall Update's Rewards 



Also making their debut in the Crownfall update are two brand new treasures. Both Crownfall Treasure 1 and Crownfall Treasure 2 contain 25 unique items for players to collect throughout the event. As per typical recent treasures for Dota 2 events, you can recycle unwanted treasures for a bonus treasure. There are sets for the following heroes: 



Crownfall Treasure 1 Crownfall Treasure 2 BloodseekerPuck Jakiro Skywrath Mage Lina Tinker Disruptor Pugna Nature's Prohpet Naga Siren

The Crownfall Update is out - Reclaiming the Throne, the Treasures and more!

This is not a drill folks, we have Crownfall info! Although it's not the long awaited patch, it's a comic detailing the story behind the two new Arcanas for Skywrath Mage and Vengeful Spirit that are now confirmed to be released alongside the update. So without further ado, instead of reading the 120 page comic, here's a breakdown of the Ascension Day comic. 



Crownfall Comic Ascension Day summarized 



For those who don't want a full synopsis of the Ascension Day comic, here are the bullet points: 




Queen Imperia overthrew her sister Shendelzare 10 years ago and it's become a holiday called Ascension day



Shendelzare survived due to the forgotten god Scree'Auk and she became Vengeful Spirit 



Skywrath Mage, who still loves Shen summons her every year to spend the evening together 



Scree'Auk shows up and gives Skywrath Mage his remaining power and he subsequently powers Vengeful Spirit up 



The lovers are ready to reclaim Shendelzare's throne




Some Backstory



So before we get into what happens during the Ascension Day comic, let's learn a bit about the world and where this story takes place. In the land of Eyrie, ten years before the Ascension Day comic takes place, there was Shendelzare, who was the Queen of the Skywraths who was secretly in love with Skywrath Mage (AKA Dragonus). One day Shendelzare's sister Imperia overthrew her sister and usurped the throne. Everyone assumed that Shendelzare died in the coup. 







However, thanks to the god Scree'Auk she became their champion, becoming Vengeful Spirit. The day in which this coup took place was commemorated as Ascension day. Where Queen Imperia took her throne. On every Ascension day, Dragonous, the Captain of the Queensguard, is nowhere to be seen. And that's where the Ascension Day comic begins. 



The Ascension Day story 



Our story begins with Skywrath Mage meeting with Queen Imperia on Ascension Day. The Queen tells the captain of the Queensguard that she senses a plot to dispose of

Dota 2 Crownfall Comic Ascension Day summarized

Crownfall has brought two new flashy Arcanas to Dota 2, but the first question on every player’s mind is if they can claim them for free. Valve has been generous in the past with free Arcanas in battle passes, or at least making them reasonably cheap. Now that the developer has returned to the standard $35 price tags, is there a chance it's willing to drop it even lower?



Eagle-eyed fans have noticed the coin discount in the shop, which can already knock a solid chunk off their prices. However, if you can get enough Crownfall coins, is it possible to claim the Skywrath Mage and Vengeful Spirit Arcanas for free?



Crownfall Arcanas aren’t free, but you can claim a discount



Crownfall coin discounts do not stack, which means you can’t get the Arcanas for Skywrath Mage or Vengeful Spirit for free. However, it's still possible to get them for a discount. 



Players can cash in Crownfall coins to get a $8 discount on anything in the store. This could be a free Crownfall Royal Bundle, which surreptitiously costs the exact amount as the discount. Players can also spend it on a few free Crownfall treasures if they purchase the $20 bundle of nine. This naturally leads to whether they can stack, and the answer appears to be no.



The discount is available on everything in the Crownfall store (Image via Valve)



The discount appears to only apply once to any single item in the store. The coupon is consumed at the time of purchase, so there’s no way to stack up 100 Crownfall coins and discounts and use them to get some free Arcanas. The most you can do is bring both Arcanas down to $26, which is still a nice discount, but far from complimentary.



Crownfall will include 60 free coins, which, if all stacked onto one of the two Arcanas, would theoretically allow players to claim one for free. We’ll have to wait and see if Valve changes the rules to allow this miracle as the event unfolds. 



Stay tuned to esports.gg for the latest updates on all things Dota 2.

Can you get the new Crownfall Arcanas for free?

The Dota 2 lore-centric event, Crownfall, bombards the Dota 2 community with tons of cosmetics and rewards. The event is divided into four Acts in which each Act will bring a fresh set of quests and rewards on an entirely new map. We are currently in Act I as the event has just kickstarted. But when exactly is the Crownfall end date?






When does the Crownfall event end?



The Crownfall event end date is not yet announced. However, we have a rough timeframe of how long the event lasts. On the official Crownfall website, Valve states that the Crownfall event will go on over the next few months. 



The Markets of Midgate is just the first act of an ongoing four-act narrative that will span the next few months.Valve on Crownfall's website.



If a single Act takes place across a month, the entire event will likely finish after four months. We speculate that the Crownfall end date falls on late August. This duration also aligns with the calendar if Valve is to launch a new event or the Compendium right before The International 2024. The prestigious TI is scheduled to kickstart early September in Copenhagen, Denmark.



More about Crownfall






The Crownfall event is a four-act narrative which stores a lot of quests and a myriad of rewards.

Even if you aren't a Swiftie, you probably have at least heard that her newest album, "The Tortured Poets Department: The Anthology." Released today, the new record has already pulled in quite a few listeners. One of her songs, though, is called Fortnight. It also features Post Malone on the track. Is it about Fortnite: Battle Royale? Or is it just a coincidence?









Let's get into it.



Was Fortnight named after Fortnite?



While the lyrics suggest a whole different meaning, the song Fortnight by Taylor Swift does have some lore rumored to be around it. 



The song itself seems to be using the traditional meaning of Fortnight, which is "a period of two weeks." However, rumors have serviced that the song was written about an ex-boyfriend of hers who played way too much Fortnite (if there ever was such a thing).







I wouldn't put this past Taylor. I mean, everyone knows that her songs are usually about ex-boyfriends, and Fortnite is a HUGE game. 



Taylor Swift's new album has a song called Fortnight while the game Fortnite is huge. Coincidence? I think not!



I know what you are all thinking: "Fortnight was literally a word before the game Fortnite came out." Yes. I know. I am not here to act like the word originated with the popular Battle Royale that millions across the globe still play. 



But there is no denying, that since the game's release, many have come to think of the Battle Royale whenever they hear the word Fortnight (Fortnite for the gamers). 







So Taylor couldn't possibly release a song with that title thinking no one would relate it to the game, right? I mean... Post Malone is literally featured on the song. He is an avid gamer who has been seen streaming live on Twitch in the past. It only makes sense!



Well, if you look at the lyrics, then no - Fortnight is not about the game Fortnite (unless you relate the part about a storm to the game). But if you look at some of the lore and rumors behind the song, well, we just may be on

Is Taylor Swift's song 'Fortnight' about the game Fortnite?

XDefiant is a free-to-play first-person shooter, and of course, you must be online at all times to play it. There are moments where that issue may not be your fault, especially if you receive the XDefiant MIKE-01 error code.



There's a slight chance it is on your end, but more often than not, MIKE-01 is a problem with Ubisoft directly. And it is a common code among its games, with The Division and The Division 2 employing the code first.






If you're getting this error, let us walk you through how to fix it.



Why are you getting the XDefiant MIKE-01 error code?



(Image via Ubisoft)



Here is a list of reasons as to why you might receive the MIKE-01 error code when trying to load into XDefiant:




The game is not available in your region



You are not properly connected to the internet



You do not have the latest XDefiant update or patch installed



The XDefiant servers are down due to a Ubisoft issue or possible maintanence




That's really all there is to it. MIKE-01 appears in XDefiant whenever you can't connect to the servers, for whatever reason that may be.






How to fix the MIKE-01 error in XDefiant



If you're frustrated with the MIKE-01 error code in XDefiant, we've got a few tips on how to resolve it. These aren't foolproof methods, as there truly isn't one, but they should at least help you understand what is causing the problem.



Try these fixes out and see how they do:




Ensure you are connected to the internet



Restart your PC or console



Update XDefiant to the latest patch



Verify the integrity of the game file



Completely uninstall and reinstall the game incase the files became corrupt in any way



Double check to see if the game has a server or is even allowed in your region

Use a VPN to bypass it if you have to





Look to official XDefiant or Ubisoft websites and social media accounts for any indication of server issues or ongoing server maintenance that has taken the game down

The ten teams form two groups of five teams each. They compete in a Bo1 round-robin format. The top two teams from each group advance to the upper bracket playoffs’ semifinals.&nbsp;



The next two teams will face each other in a best-of-three play-in stage after which the winners advance to the lower bracket playoffs. This concludes the six teams that make it to the final playoffs stage.&nbsp;



Every match in the playoffs will feature a best-of-three series, except the Grand Finals. As is the norm in Dota 2 events, the Grand Finals will be a best-of-five affair.&nbsp;

Valve will release the 7.31 Dota 2 update on February 23. The new update promises to bring significant changes to the game and releases right after the <a href="https://esports.gg/news/dota-2/valve-announces-replacement-regional-tournaments-for-winter-major/">DPC Regional Finals</a>.&nbsp;



With the tournament kicking off in early March, it is the first Dota 2 LAN event on the new patch. Earlier in the year, Valve canceled the first Dota 2 Major, much to the surprise of players, fans and community members. After massive outrage, Valve announced the DPC Regional Finals with a $100,000 prize pool for each of the six regions. 



With some of the biggest names in contention, Dota 2 fans can watch all the action live on <a href="https://t.co/ku877Z4fjw">YouTube</a> or <a href="https://t.co/KkpafUiwiD">Twitch</a>.
