Palmon Season 2 Guide: Crimson Rain

Note from Pamtib: this is a temp. quick-start guide to help the first few hours of Season 2, this page WILL change constantly when S2 opens when we confirm specific changes, keep this page bookmarked and return for newer/updated information.

1. Season 2 Overview

Season 2: Crimson Rain begins after Season 1/off-season. The core theme is a darker blood moon / curse map where guilds push towards the centre of the Palantis (map), reclaim Sanctums, upgrade their Holy Tower, and manage 'seasonal' resources.

Season 1-style mechanic	Season 2 equivalent
Generator	Holy Tower
Coal	Holy Water
Bricks	Mithril
Brick Kiln	Mithril Workshop
Ember / seasonal relic system	Sacred Relics
Temperature / freezing	Curse / Curse Resistance
Blizzard	Blood Moon
Corruption / de-icing	Curse / Purification
Sanctums	Cursed Sanctums

The main early goal is simple: generate resources, upgrade your Holy Tower, support your guild’s Sanctum push, and avoid falling behind on curse resistance.

2. First Hour Checklist

When Season 2 opens, there are a lot of pop-ups, events, buildings and map objectives. The best approach is to stabilise first.

Priority order

1. Unlock your starting territory

Clear nearby tiles and follow the tutorial until your basic Season 2 buildings are available.

2. Start generating resources

You need two main resources:

Holy Water
Mithril

These are needed for upgrading your Holy Tower and seasonal economy.

3. Attack Bullymon first

Attack Bullymon first, then progress into Queen’s Phantoms.

4. Upgrade the Holy Tower

Your Holy Tower is the Season 2 equivalent of the generator. It provides curse-related protection and is central to progression.

5. Upgrade Mithril Workshops

Get your first Mithril Workshop to level 15 as soon as possible.

6. Join guild rallies

Season 2 is heavily guild-based. Join rallies for:

Queen’s Phantoms
Gilded Brigands
Sanctum objectives
Guild progression

3. Core Season 2 Mechanics

Sanctum Siege

Sanctum Siege is the main map progression mode.

The goal is to:

Reclaim Sanctums from darkness.
Move towards the centre of Palantis (map).
Push the guild’s Holy Tower forward.
Secure territory and seasonal resources.

Holy Tower

The Holy Tower is one of the most important Season 2 buildings.

It is used for:

Curse resistance
Blood Moon survival
Seasonal progression
Unlocking or supporting higher-level content

Think of it as the Season 2 version of the generator.

Important note

The Holy Tower can consume Holy Water when activated, so do not leave it running carelessly unless you need the protection.

Holy Water

Holy Water is one of the two main seasonal resources.

It is used for:

Holy Tower upgrades
Holy Tower activation
Curse-related systems
Seasonal progression

Think of it as coal from Season 1.

How to get Holy Water

Key sources include:

Bullymon
Queen’s Phantoms
Seasonal rewards
Sacred Spring-related activity
Event/bundle rewards

Mithril

Mithril is the other main seasonal resource.

It is used for:

Upgrading seasonal buildings
Progressing your Holy Tower economy
Expanding Season 2 infrastructure

Think of Mithril as bricks from Season 1.

Key tip

Prioritise Mithril Workshop upgrades, especially getting the first one to level 15.

Mithril Workshop

The Mithril Workshop produces Mithril.

Early-game recommendation:

Upgrade your first Mithril Workshop quickly, because level 15 unlocks additional workshop capacity and stronger Mithril production.

This is one of the most important early Season 2 moves.

Curse, Curse Resistance and Purification

Season 2 introduces a curse system.

Curse

Curse replaces Season 1’s freezing/temperature mechanic. Higher-level areas have more curse pressure, and marching or occupying certain map-tiles can expose you to it.

Curse Resistance

You need enough Curse Resistance to fight stronger targets and move deeper into the map.

Players with more Curse Resistance can fight higher-level enemies earlier and move deeper into dangerous areas.

Purification

Purification allows you to remove curse effects from territories or guildmates. Helping guildmates purify curses is part of Season 2 progression.

Blood Moon

Blood Moon is the Season 2 equivalent of Season 1's blizzard.

When Blood Moon is incoming, you should:

Check your curse resistance.
Activate or prepare your Holy Tower if needed.
Help guildmates purify.
Avoid overextending into heavily cursed areas.

Sacred Relics

Sacred Relics are Season 2’s major guild/seasonal relic system.

They are tied to:

Occupying Sanctums
Guild progression
End-of-season rankings
Seasonal power

They function similarly to Season 1’s Ember-style system.

5. New and Important Events

Healing Bloom

Healing Bloom is one of the more distinctive new Season 2 events.

Key details:

You can heal Palmon up to five times per day.
Different cursed Palmon may show different conditions.
Healing uses items such as Lunar Bloom.
Rewards can include valuable materials such as temperates, skill fruit, or other resources.

Recommendation

Do this daily once unlocked.

Blood Surge

Blood Surge provides stat buffs based on progression or existing levels.

Buffs include:

Attack increase
HP increase
Rage skill damage increase

Note: does not seem to require a completely separate investment path at first glance; it appears linked to levels or existing progression.

Great Golden Heist

The Great Golden Heist returns after the Season 2 transition.

Important points:

The shop refreshes.
Penguin’s Gift converts back to Stolen Gold.
You can buy more priority items.
Mount Shoes are a high-priority purchase.
Gilded Brigands are worth doing while the event is active.

Recommendation

Do not ignore this just because Season 2 has opened. The event overlaps with early Season 2 and can provide strong value.

6. Class Skills and Builder Class

Builder Class remains the strong early Season 2 choice.

Note: class levels carry over from Season 1–I incorrectly suggested that these will reset, they don't, this seems to of changed at some point in a previous game patch update.

Key class observations

Class level carries over.
XP skills remain valuable.
Builder remains strong for early-season progression.
Supply Drop appears extremely powerful.
Skill resets may be useful early if you want to optimise for seasonal resources.

Recommended early Builder priorities

Prioritise:

XP-related skills
Build/research acceleration
Seasonal resource support
Supply Drop
Instant Build / Instant Research where useful

Supply Drop

Supply Drop can provide a large amount of electricity and looks very strong.

Recommendation:

Do not forget to use Supply Drop. It may be one of the strongest class skills for early Season 2 momentum.

7. Guild Priorities

Important: Season 2 is not a solo race. Guild coordination matters heavily.

Guild objectives

Focus on:

Capturing Sanctums with your guild
Pushing Holy Tower territory
Rallying Queen’s Phantoms
Helping with purification
Donating seasonal resources (daily)
Joining Gilded Brigand rallies (resource and item boost)
Securing Sacred Springs (follow guilds already-mapped out path)
Preparing for Relic Clash / Ember Wars-style events

Guild Holy Tower

The guild’s Holy Tower progression affects the wider guild push. The stronger guilds will move quickly, keep pace with your guild’s calls and try to remain active, if real-life calls and you will be temporarily inactive, let your guilds R4/R5 know so you potentially don't get kicked/removed as this will severely impact your individual GvG/SvS progress.

8. Recommended Season 2 Opening Route

Here is the clean version of what to do when Season 2 opens:

Clear pop-ups and unlock your starting area.
Attack Bullymon to start gathering early resources.
Claim Holy Water and begin Holy Tower progression.
Build and upgrade your Mithril Workshop.
Push your first Mithril Workshop towards level 15.
Join guild rallies for Queen’s Phantoms.
Do your normal daily reset tasks.
Check Crimson Rain event objectives.
Review Aurora Summon and pick a Mega Evolution target.
Check Healing Bloom once unlocked.
Help guildmates with Purification.
Use Supply Drop and other class skills.
Continue Great Golden Heist / Gilded Brigand activity while available.
Avoid marching too deep into cursed areas without resistance.
