The long-awaited Axie Classic Competitive Season 5 is now live, bringing with it a wealth of rewards and exciting updates. With 35.6K AXS up for grabs (around $166k), this four-week season is not just another competition—it’s a key moment for every Classic player. The stakes are higher than ever, with one coveted spot in the Axie World Cup on the line. Whether you’re a seasoned player or a newcomer, this season offers something for everyone.
Season Highlights and Rewards
The rewards for Season 5 are nothing short of impressive. A total of 35,600 AXS is available, with rewards distributed across different categories:
- Mini Tournaments: 14,000 AXS (500 AXS per day over four weeks)
- Golden Wheel: 5,600 AXS (200 AXS per day over four weeks)
- Guild Leaderboard: 10,000 AXS
- Guild Milestones: 3,000 AXS
- Season Championship: 3,000 AXS
Players will have until September 19th, 8 AM PH / 8 PM EST, to climb the ranks and secure their share of the rewards. Guilds should also take note, as the top eight will earn Placement Points for the upcoming Guild Wars.
Guild Leaderboard and Milestones
Guilds have been a core part of Axie Classic’s competitive scene, and this season is no different. With a prize pool of 10,000 AXS for the Guild Leaderboard and another 3,000 AXS in Guild Milestones, there are plenty of reasons to join forces. The Guild Leaderboard will close at the same time as the Arena Leaderboard, so guild members must strategize to maximize their rewards.
The Return of Mini Tournaments
Mini Tournaments are back, and they’ve undergone some changes. The daily prize pool is now 500 AXS, split into two shifts. Each shift lasts 13 hours, allowing for smooth transitions between battles. Draws will no longer count against your total battle count, giving players more opportunities to secure victories.
The MMR system has also been fine-tuned, notably for Master and Challenger ranks. The top tiers will convert to the old ranking system, and the decay rate has been halved to give players a better chance of maintaining their spots. New guild members will need to wait until the end of the next day to start earning Guild Points.
Meet the Coliseum Chest
This season also brings the Coliseum Chest, a new item that players can earn in the Cursed Coliseum. These chests can contain valuable Artifacts or a spin on the Golden Wheel. To start a new session in the Coliseum, players must have at least one empty chest slot.
The Golden Wheel has also been upgraded. Re-rolls now require Gems instead of SLP, and players with high Axie Classic Reputation Scores can earn both AXS and SLP tokens.
Season 5 Battle Pass and More
The Season 5 Battle Pass is now live, giving you the chance to climb the ranks and win Artifacts and Gold. The Premium Pass is packed with extra rewards, including AXS, SLP, and the exclusive Lantern Legend banner. Mystic Axie holders can purchase the Premium Pass at a 50% discount.

Looking Ahead: The Season Championship
The Season 5 Championship is where the best of the best will face off. With 3,000 AXS in the prize pool and a spot in the Axie World Cup, the competition will be intense. The top 16 players from the Arena Leaderboard will qualify straightaway, while those ranked 17-100 will battle it out in a private tournament for the remaining spots. The final 32 players will compete in the Season Championship to determine the ultimate champion.
