Ice Seasons

Ice Seasons
The cold front is here to stay! Ice mobsters from the fight list each week to earn reputation badges and cool rewards. A new Ice Season begins every Tuesday at 11am PDT and runs for a whole week.
Reputation Badges
Ice players to build your reputation each week. There are five mastery tiers (Bronze, Silver, Gold, Ruby, and Diamond) that each have five levels for a total of 25 badges. At the end of each season, your badge ranking will be determined by how many ices you earned for that week. For example, looking at the image below, finishing a season with a total of 60 ices means you reached the 4th level of the gold tier. Reaching that level earns you a gold-colored badge with the number 4, which will appear next to your name on the fight list and on your profile page.
Season Rewards
There are 2 types of Season Rewards. Mastery Tier items will automatically drop in fights when you ice enough opponents. For example, when you collect 2 ices, 3 booster packs will drop in your fight rewards tray.
Grand Prizes are awarded at the end of the season (every Tuesday at 11am PDT). You can only receive one grand prize, the level of which is determined by your total ice count for the season. For example, looking at the image below, if you finish with between 80 & 179 ices in a season, you will receive the gold-tier grand prize.
Season Rewards
Bullying
In an effort to curb bullying, we have capped the number of times that icing a particular player will count toward the event at 50 for each Ice Season. Icing the same player beyond 50 times will continue to add to your personal and family ice counts, but will not contribute to your progress in the current Ice Season. The cap will reset at the start of each Ice Season so that icing your favorite targets will once again count (up to 50 times) toward each new season.
