NEW! Play Day Events
Heavy Hitters release weekend will feature new Play Day events, intended to be a fun, low-stakes way for casual players to play Flesh and Blood and for new players to try it for the first time.
Local game stores who host Armory Events will receive a 6-card Play Day promo pack as part of their February Armory Kit.
The suggested format for Play Day events is Heavy Hitter Blitz Preconstructed, with the first player to sign up for each of the six different heroes receiving the promo card that matches their selected hero!
Play Day events will take place in Armory Event stores across the world on the weekend of February 3-4, 2024.
Five other heroes will enter the arena alongside Kassai. Some new faces looking to make their mark. Some iconic heroes back to prove they've still got it. As we head towards preview season, the entrance of each mighty contestant will be announced to the fanfare of a roaring crowd.
Throughout the Heavy Hitters organized play season, a "Deathmatch Arena" leaderboard will be maintained for the six contestant heroes. Points will be based on event wins at eligible Heavy Hitters limited format events, including:
- Road to Nationals (February-March)
- Pro Quest (April-May)
- Battle Hardened
- Professional Tournament Invitationals
- Calling
The hero who sits atop of the leaderboard at the conclusion of Pro Quest Season 5 (scheduled to conclude May 5, 2024), will be declared the Champion of Deathmatch Arena, and will have their triumph immortalized on a special prize card that will be shipped* to each player who won an event that contributed points to the winning hero's leaderboard total! Players who win multiple events with the Champion hero will receive multiple prize cards.
Pre-Release events will be running in more than 1,000 local game stores across the world, from Friday January 26 through to Monday January 29, 2024.
An announcement will be published on fabtcg.com in the coming weeks with full details and the event locator for Heavy Hitters Pre-Release Events.
