Trial 16 was not even a little bit close. The Cunning Champions did not squeak out a win, they crushed the board.

Accord Wars Trial 15 unfolded as a layered contest of consistency, timing, and early dominance. The Alusian Pathfinders once again emerged on top, supported by repeated high value win cons from Cephalon9999 and strong depth across pods. The Sovereign Warriors and Cunning Champions traded ground throughout the night, while the Xandrian Handlers struggled to convert isolated wins into lasting scoreboard pressure.

With the dust finally settling from the unforgettable World Championship Invitational #2, three new names have been carved into Chaos Agents history: Cephalon9990, Gauldar, and Wilding, our reigning World Champions.

We’re excited to feature brand new community produced content from protonprime , who put together one of the most helpful Chaos Agents primers we’ve seen yet. Their guide walks players through the core concepts of the game, breaks down what actually happens inside a match, and offers high level tips to make the early learning curve way smoother. Whether you’re brand new or just looking to sharpen your fundamentals, Proton’s Primer is an incredible resource for diving deeper into Chaos Agents and leveling up fast.

This Trial did not hinge on a single explosive round. Instead, it was defined by a steady back and forth, with Pathfinders, Warriors, and Champions all winning pods and trading momentum throughout the night.

With pressure mounting deep into the season, all four Accords stepped into Trial 13 looking to shift momentum, but by the end of Round 3, only one Accord had left its mark: The Pathfinders

Friday’s Trial wasn’t an upset, it was an overthrow. After weeks of Pathfinder dominance, the Cunning Champions stormed the arena with surgical precision and left nothing but wreckage behind them. Trial #11 will be remembered not as a close contest, but as the night the Champions seized control.

In a rare Thursday edition of the Accord Wars, the arena lights fired up early, and the Alusian Pathfinders wasted no time reminding the Accords why they’ve been the season’s top performers. From the opening pods, the “Purple Army” came out swinging. Sharp, prepared, hungry, and by Round 3 the scoreboard told a familiar story. Pathfinders on top, everyone else scrambling to keep up.

In what is a momentous occasion for Chaos Agents, we have a small but mighty patch for our players. We’ve implemented what we internally call “Speed Matters.”

Accord Wars Trial #8 was a showdown. The Alusian Pathfinders walked away as the overall victors but only by the slimmest of margins, as the Sovereign Warriors kept the pressure on from start to finish. This one came down to the final pods, final shards, and final KOs.

Trial #7: Pathfinders Snap the Streak in an Instant Classic

Getting a single win condition in a game of Chaos Agents might be straight-forward, but getting multiple win conditions, and especially the elusive triple win con, can sometimes be a challenge. Let’s go over the fundamentals of achieving each win con and then figure out how to combine them into the Voltron of Win Cons!

Trial #6 delivered everything, huge plays, wild comebacks, and the kind of clutch performances that define a Trial. From the Xandrians’ explosive opener to the Sovereign Warriors’ thunderous finish, every Accord came ready to leave their mark.

Trial 5 was an all out war, a nonstop, edge of your seat showdown that had the entire Chaos Agents community buzzing. The Sovereign Warriors came in swinging alongside their newly recruited members, the Alusian Pathfinders were determined to keep their streak alive, and the Cunning Champions fought tooth and nail to stay in the race.

We’re back at it again in this thrilling season of the Accord Trophy Championships, better known across the Firmament as the Accord Wars. The arena lit up once more, and if you thought this saga was cooling off, think again.

On Friday, September 12th, the second Chaos Agents Accord Wars Trial kicked off with fearless competitors from each Accord battling head-to-head.

Each Accord fought to push their faction to the top of the leaderboards for a chance to claim a brand-new generation of Boosted Agents before their official launch.

Saturday, July 19th we hosted an unforgettable Gold Trial, and the competition was nothing short of electric.

We are excited to deliver Chaos Agents 1.9.3.6 to our production servers, available to play on today!

One of the best parts of Chaos Agents is the endless range of strategies, and thanks to dedicated community members Wheeto and Protonprime, navigating them just got easier. They’ve created a detailed chart that ranks every in-game element—from skills to builds—offering guidance for players aiming to dominate as a Brawlmaster, Survivalist, or Shardmaster. With tailored recommendations and deep analysis, it’s a valuable resource for both new and veteran Brokers.

I have waited several years to write this post.

How long? Well, we can go back at least to 2021, when I started discussing the possibility of building games together with Richard Garfield. We both very quickly agreed that letting players have their own unique Agents, and giving them assurances that their money was well spent—that they would be able to enjoy their Agents for a long time without having to worry about the game “going offline” or “being killed”.

This will let a registered Chaos Agents player with access to a server that meets the minimum requirements—either a physical or virtual server—to run their own instance of the Chaos Agents Server (MSA) - dedicated server version. Clients will be able to connect to these dedicated servers to find and join (initially unofficial) matches.

We’ve heard from the community time and time again that they’d like better communication from the game around both their accomplishments and upcoming events.

To facilitate this we’ve built out a robust notification system so the game can more easily celebrate your victories and keep you informed around important events. We’re excited to get this in your hands!

We’ve rehauled the Missions, Mission Pack, and Campaign system from the top down, resulting in around 150 additional Missions you can make progress on.

We’ve also added the Broker level system - you can now progress up to Broker level 30, earning Agent slots, ACTs, ATTs, Trial tickets, Titles, and profile Sigils!

March 2, 2022 - Recently I started playing a digital game. There was a tournament announced for the top players. Although I wasn’t a top player – the game was new enough and there was enough luck in the play that I thought maybe I could qualify, and so I started paying attention to my ranking.

Quickly I noticed that I was having less fun because I was no longer experimenting and trying new things – I was focusing on what I knew worked.
