This seasonal event brings one of the most generous reward pools Warpath offers all year. Running from December 17 to January 13, it delivers a free permanent base skin, high-value coupons, gold, VIP points, unit skins, and several layered mini-events. Below is a complete breakdown of how every section works, how to progress efficiently, and what free-to-play players should prioritize.
Christmas Night Overview
This is the main hub for the event. You’ll find two weekly phases, each unlocking its own reward track and tasks. Every section in the hub funnels rewards toward either cosmetic skins, resources, or exchange currencies you’ll need later in the event.
Week 1 – Free “Nutcracker” Base Skin
The first week is the highlight for free-to-play players. Logging in and completing basic tasks unlocks the Nutcracker Base Skin, offering:
• 3% artillery firepower
• 3% collection speed
Base skins with combat bonuses are normally hard to obtain without spending, so make sure you finish all week-one steps. This alone is worth doing the event.
Week 2 – Museum Coupons and Extra Rewards
The second week focuses on museum coupons and mixed high-tier rewards. You can earn 100 museum coupons, enough to contribute toward unlocking other skins through the museum exchange. It’s one of the few times per year this currency is widely available for free.
Vulture Store Explained
This shop caters more toward spenders, but understanding it helps you gauge value.
• A $15 Vulture Gift unlocks discounts on special Christmas bundles.
• You can then buy Christmas base effect bundles, construction effects, airlift effects, and selected item picks.
• Each offer includes substantial bonuses like gold, VIP experience, and unit skins.
Free-to-play players can safely ignore this section unless they want to track value comparisons.
Christmas Base Skin Ticket
This bundle becomes available midway through the event. You can choose any one Christmas base skin, plus receive additional gold and VIP points. It’s pricey, so it’s mainly for dedicated spenders.
Gunning for the Top – Ranking Event
This ranking is tied to drawing in the Bingo Battle and Legendary Showroom sections. Rewards include:
• Rank 1: Full base skin set, attack effects, custom title, and more
• Rank 2–3: Base skin and air attack effect
• Rank 4–5: Permanent base skin
• Ranks 6–10: 30-day skin
• Ranks 11–20: 15-day skin
Below top 20, you receive smaller pick-chest rewards.
Because the scoreboard is based on draw volume, only heavy spenders can realistically compete. Free-to-play should collect whatever passive rewards they can without chasing rankings.
Potions of Chance – Dice Event
This is the board-rolling section where each dice roll advances you across a reward board. There are three layers of rewards here:
• Rewards from each tile on the board
• A Fortune Card Coin and a Fortune Chest Pick every lap
• Bonus milestone chests at laps 10, 20, 30, 50, 60, and 90
Progress is steady, and this section offers some of the most reliable free items across the entire event.
Fortune Scratch
This is where you use the Fortune Coins from the dice board. It includes:
• A very low chance for the exclusive “Horizontal Blue” base skin
• Other premium resources and items
The skin drop chance is extremely small, so treat it as a bonus rather than something guaranteed.
Surprise Airdrop
This is a mixed system combining free rewards and micro-offers. You’ll claim:
• Two free rewards
• Optional $1 mini-offers
• Another two free rewards
• Another optional $1 offer
Completing the full chain unlocks an extra bonus offer. Free-to-play players should simply take the free parts.
Legendary Showroom
One of the central draw-based events. Using draw tokens gives:
• Guaranteed unit skin at 100 draws
• Guaranteed base skin at 200 draws
• Extra Gallery Silver and Gallery Coupons as draw milestones
• Ranking rewards and collection rewards tied to draw count
Spenders get the most out of this section, but free-to-play still benefit from the milestone currency.
Legendary Exhibition
This exchange shop lets you trade earned coins for:
• Base skins
• Base upgrades
• Unit skins
• Attack effects
• Frames
• Other cosmetic items
Nearly everything cosmetic in the event cycles through here, making it a key stop for free-to-play players to dump all their earned currency.
Midnight Ranger Bundle
A $5 bundle offering:
• Six fragments for the Nightfall Officer
• Gold
• Officer XP
• Premium resource packs
• VIP points
This is one of the cheaper mid-tier offers but entirely optional.
Operation Athena
This is the parallel event with its own task list and rewards. Completing Operation Athena tasks boosts overall resource gain during the Christmas period but does not affect the skin-related rankings.
Free-to-Play Priority Path
If you don’t want to spend, follow this order:
- Complete all Week 1 tasks to secure the Nutcracker Base Skin.
- Finish Week 2 tasks to get museum coupons.
- Participate daily in the Dice Event for guaranteed progress.
- Use all free tokens in the Showroom for milestone currency.
- Spend all event currency in Exhibition Shop on the best long-term cosmetics.
- Claim all free items from the Surprise Airdrop.
You’ll walk away with the free base skin, exchange currency, and a package of solid resources without spending anything.
Should You Spend?
The only high-value spending option for casual buyers is the $10 exclusive Christmas pack. It includes:
• 3,000 gold
• Exclusive Christmas item
• Emotion
• VIP points
• Extra small rewards
Beyond that, everything else targets heavy spenders chasing permanent skins and top rankings
