Beast Upgrades

Summit introduces a unique upgrade system that expands upon your Loot Survivor Beasts, adding new strategic layers through attributes and abilities that are exclusive to Summit gameplay.

How Upgrades Work

Your beasts can be enhanced using tokens earned from Loot Survivor gameplay:

• Skull Tokens - Earned when your beasts kill adventurers (1 per kill). Used to increase attributes or unlock abilities
• Corpse Tokens - Extracted from your dead adventurers (1 per level). Used exclusively to increase your beast's health
• One-time upgrades - Permanent improvements that fundamentally change how your beast performs in Summit

The key is that Summit rewards players who are active in both games - your success in Loot Survivor directly translates to more powerful beasts in Summit:

• $SKULL Tokens - Earned when your beasts kill adventurers (1 per kill)
• $CORPSE Tokens - Extracted from your dead adventurers (1 per adventurer level)
• Beast Locking - When an adventurer kills one of your beasts in Loot Survivor, that beast gets locked in Summit for 24 hours and cannot attack

What Happens After Summit Ends?

There are currently no planned expansions or additional seasons of Summit beyond the current game. Summit is a finite experience — once the reward pool is distributed, the game concludes.

If a future Summit is introduced, our intention is to carry over beast upgrades and stats. However, we cannot guarantee this, as it depends on factors that are not yet known — including game design decisions, technical considerations, and the needs of future player bases.

Our commitment is to build valuable and fun experiences. We will not compromise future gameplay, as it would be -EV for everyone in the ecosystem. What we can say is that the upgrades you earn in this Summit are designed for this Summit — to help you compete, complete quests, and earn $SURVIVOR.

The right mindset: Upgrade your beasts for the game in front of you. Every $SKULL and $CORPSE you spend should be an investment in winning now — holding the Summit longer, completing more quests, and claiming your share of the 92,000 $SURVIVOR reward pool (56,000 Summit, 36,000 quests) plus 8,000 $SURVIVOR seeded as initial consumable liquidity.
