Phrenzies
Overview
Phrenzies are a weeklong event where players are able to play special game-modes for a limited time. Rewards are given to players based on their performance. Phrenzies will each be represented by a character, who can be talked to instead of Zuka during the events to participate. Phrenzy matches are separate from standard PHIGHT! matches. During Phrenzies, a heavy thunderstorm comes over Crossroads, and the PHIGHT! Lobby is also overcast and rainy. All songs are pitched randomly.
Scoring
As of Phrenzy 1, point scoring goes as follows:
- Annihilate: determined by your position on the leaderboard, So, at tenth, you get 1 point, and at 1st, (MVP) you get 10 points
- Conquer: determined by how much time you spent on the point. Your score on the leaderboard also slightly increases your score.
Players in the top 50% of point scores will receive a title, players in the top 25% will receive another title, players in the top 5% will receive a skin, and players in the top 1% will also receive a title. This is calculated by taking the total amount of players who played, then getting the 1%, 5%, 25% and 50% and the score at the values.
Phrenzy 1 : Mix-Up Madness
Mix-Up Madness is the first Phrenzy which occurred during V0.6.0. The Phrenzy was announced on 12 August 2023 and took place from August 19 to August 27.
The Phrenzy was represented by Darkheart, who appeared on top of Zuka’s truck in Crossroads. When spoken to he would bring you to a separate lobby from the PHIGHT! Lobby. In this lobby players were able to complete in 5v5 matches with randomized Phighters for points. Points were only awarded in this lobby and unable to be earned in the regular PHIGHT! Lobby. A leaderboard could be found in the spawn area of the Phrenzy lobby displaying the top 10 highest scoring players, which was later changed to the top 100. During these Phrenzy matches Darkheart would occasionally trigger random effects on players, similar to his Sword event, although less frequently. Each time one of these effects triggered the pitch of the song would change.
During the Phrenzy, the following were added:
- The following map:
- SFOTH rework
- The following skins:
- Stargazer Rocket, the award for players who placed in the top 5%.
- The following titles:
- Darkheart Follower, the award for players who placed in the top 50%.
- Pandemonius, the award for players who placed in the top 25%.
- Aphelion, the award for players who placed in the top 1%.
