20 prizes and not one was new.

If you receive a new prize, please also include the DIFFICULTY you battled on! We meticulously confirm the prizes for each of the 3 difficulty tiers, as in the past, not all prizes have been available on all 3.

Dang it. So much for getting the previous round to 1M battles fought.

Oh well, time to do this round.
by jessalynn on September 28, 2026 2:30 PM NST
Every rotation I hope they will return to what they did with King Skarl and have a collectible only drop from hard to have it be somewhat exclusive and every rotation I am dissapointed
by hexen on September 28, 2026 2:53 PM NST
Do previous Battledome challengers ever come back or are they retired forever?
by sweetie_purple16 on September 28, 2026 3:37 PM NST
@sweetie_purple16: This is only round 7, we haven't been doing it long enough to know, really. So far, no repetitions... and there are maybe roughly 120-125 past plot BD challengers that could come up? (Excluding the mega bosses.) So it'd be a long while before TNT *has* to repeat any.

Ravenous Monster on medium is dropping An Encyclopedia of Monstrous Plants
by ogidin on September 28, 2026 3:46 PM NST
Battled the Ravenous Monster on Mighty. Only new prize I received was the Spooky Flying Disc. Of course, the one prize of absolutely no use at all. Well I will try again tomorrow to see if it coughs up its goodies for me.

Zombified Peasants on Haed gave me Zombie Raid Tactics
by erigwen1 on October 2, 2026 9:06 AM NST
Well, I didn't want to go 12 plus rounds on hard so I stuck to easy for Mara Maiden. Finally after nearly a week exclusively battling her, she dropped one business card for my album. I like to have spares so I will continue to battle it out with her over the next few months for 20 prizes per day and supplementing the NP with Mechanoid Warrior on hard. 1300 HP to drain for 6000 points per fight doesn't take much time.

It's very odd how they suddenly changed up the HP to NP ratio after absurdly giving out 9000 points like candy in previous iterations. I guess people complained?
