FIREBREAK Beta is live. Four heroes. 100 roads. How long can your defense hold? The dog brought coffee. You bring the strategy. WHAT'S NEW • 10 regions, 10 roads each. Six tower types with two specialization paths each. • Copper Warden, Aurelia Dawnshield, Rowan Longbow and Mira Frostweaver: melee, shield, bow or frost. • Hero battle tiers up to 15, bought with earned in-game Ember. This is a gameplay resource, not a token balance. • Connect Phantom, set your player name and keep progress on your profile. Practice adds per-hero XP, career levels up to 10, talents, tactical choices, 300 road seals and weekly challenges. • New ordinary practice runs add manual hero skills: Breaking Arc, Dawn Guard, Heartseeker and Glacial Bloom, plus hero upgrades during waves. Current tournaments keep hero upgrades between waves. • Battle Plans help hold the exit, hunt elites or spread pressure. Scout incoming enemies, adjust tower targets and move your hero with WASD, arrows or road taps. • Refreshed menus, illustrated skill icons, sound and battlefield effects. Optional Auto sends later waves after 3 seconds. Save and resume your run. No run duration limit. TWO WAYS TO COMPETE Paid: 20,000 $FINE per event, plus SOL network fees. 80% of the eligible pool goes to players, 10% to marketing, 10% to direct $FINE burn. Podium shares: 40% / 24% / 16% of the total pool. Fewer than 3 distinct eligible players with verified ranked results means entry refunds, no allocations. Network fees excluded. Free: no entry fee or token purchase. 1st $100, 2nd $50, 3rd $25 worth of EMBER. These podium awards require at least 10 distinct verified accepted PAID entrants in the linked event, confirmed after closing checks. Below 10, no EMBER podium awards. Free players do NOT have to pay. The separate $100 FINE community draw remains free and is not tied to the 10-player threshold. One eligible person wins. Paying adds no odds. Sponsor funding evidence for the free podium and community draw is currently pending. HOW TO QUALIFY Post your own gameplay screenshot/video on X, tag @FineOnEmber and @embercurve, disclose it as your FINE gameplay giveaway entry, and submit the post URL on the site. Free practice counts. Prize eligibility needs post approval. Paid entrants need approval BEFORE requesting payment. Keep it public through review. One person, one wallet, one X account. Both tournaments start equally: 250 in-game Ember, the same road and enemy seed within each event, no career/talent/tactic bonuses. Your best verified completed run counts: waves, kills, then faster game time. A worse run never replaces your best. Submit before 21 Oct 2026, 20:45 UTC. New paid quotes close at 20:28 UTC.
