As the first trial has concluded, it shows that we are unable to defeat the dragon even with the top players playing with their top bees. With this, it looks impossible to defeat the dragon with the current DAU we have plus the fact that there will be lesser players doing the trial each week so I propose the following:
  • Whenever Icerax wins, we decrease a percentage of his MAX HP on the next trial.
  • Incentivize players that paid 200 HXD to participate in the trial again. A dragon helm cosmetic would be nice! or new dragon themed cosmetic with lesser stats. or cocarro crystals distributed depending on damage done to Icerax (something like every 1k damage = 1 crystal)
  • Add another condition when rewarding players after the trial:
Top 15%/30% receive portal stone -> Top 100 players or Top 15%/30% (whichever is higher) receive portal stone
