It definitely breathed some life into this game when things were getting stale and I know all of us have a lot more time on our hands with everything going on.  Was there ever an official answer why this was abandoned?

Hi HonorBound!

Phasmer returns with another take-over of the Elite runes. Between Monday Oct 19th and Friday Oct 30th (noon PST) you can choose to use your Elite runes for summoning from a special pool of heroes. Be sure not to summon from the old pool! Use the one that says Phasmer.

Be aware that, like last time, x10 summon does not guarantee a legendary. There will be Elite runes in the thresholds for the Solo Bounty on Oct 23rd and the packs, that will be up during this time, will offer Elite runes but with 50% more runes than usual in the packs as there is no guarantee of a legendary. Packs are 10% off in the web shop, https://store.honorboundgame.com

For the duration of the special pool and for a week after, the Elite runes will look like other special summoning runes.

These are the commanders, mythic and legendary heroes you could get lucky and summon (epics not listed):

Paracelsus the Equestrian
Admiral Kundek
Lord of the Pirates
Dawnmourner
Gyre the Undefeated

Evershade Huntress
Keiko the Vampire Hunter
The Nut Cracker
The Aim of the Goddess
Glislul the Armorian
The Shadow Ninja
The Ghost Commander
Greenmist Hulker
Tempest Conjurer
Sisters of Pan

The Spider Queen
The Mad Gaoler
Daisuke Never-Ronin
Darkrealm Devil
The Pet
Duskwing of Runewood
Madding Wind Protector
Battle Hunter

Arena Season 6 kicks off on September 21st. This means that when that week finishes we will get honor bonus again, working towards the ranking prizes for season 6.

Arena Season 6 finishes when arena week finishes on May 24th. At that time, honor and ranks will be reset in preparation for season 7.

You receive a weekly honor bonus based on your result for that week. There is a limit to how many ranks you can move up pr week. As you move up in rank, you will earn emblems, gear, heroes and commanders.
