Chicken Saga Arc 4.2 High Noon live: 7.875M $COCK arc pool and 250K Liwayway
Chicken Saga ranked Arc 4.2 High Noon is live on Ronin. On September 26, 2026, the studio confirmed Season 4’s second arc with the 7,875,000 $COCK competitive pool, 250,000 $COCK daily Liwayway’s Blessing, and the line that onchain activity feeds the Grand Final Tournament prize pot (Discord + X (opens in new tab)).
If you skipped First Light, this is your second ranked sprint before Last Stand. The ladder pays the top 100 in COCK and resets MMR to 1200 while your chicken build stays intact.
Background
Chicken Saga is an NFT-gated rooster auto-battler from a Filipino team. You buy or rent a chicken, run best-of-3 fights, and earn or spend COCK on Ronin. RON is the gas token on Ronin when you move chickens or COCK on-chain.
Season 4 already locked the calendar: High Noon runs September 25 – October 9, 2026, with 7,875,000 $COCK to the arc top 100 and 250,000 $COCK per day in Liwayway during the ranked window. This article follows that calendar with the go-live posts and the onchain → Grand Final line from the September 26 X status. For Arc 4.1 close, rest wagering, and the pre-4.2 transfer note, see the Arc 4.1 wrap.
What happened
Discord go-live (September 26)
In the official Discord, the team said Arc 4.2 High Noon is live, with a bigger prize pool and a bigger daily Liwayway pool than the prior arc window. They framed High Noon as the second arc where you can try to qualify for the Grand Tournament. The post linked the same-day X status (opens in new tab) for numbers and the play link.

The September 26 X post (opens in new tab) states:
- Season 4.2 High Noon is now LIVE
- BIGGER prizes: 7,875,000 $COCK
- BIGGER Liwayway pool: 250,000 $COCK daily
- All onchain activity contributes to the Grand Final Tournament prize pool
- Play at app.chickensaga.com (opens in new tab)
Those arc and Liwayway figures match the August Season 4 calendar thread in the Season 4 article. The Grand Final onchain feed line is the main new operational detail on this go-live post beyond “arc open.” That article still holds bracket dates, Rank 250 qualification language, and the 15,175,000 $COCK Grand Final pot from August posts.
Ranked window (from prior official calendar)
Per the Season 4 calendar and August X calendar thread (opens in new tab) cited there:
| Item | High Noon (Arc 4.2) |
|---|---|
| Dates | Sep 25 – Oct 9, 2026 (phase boundaries Friday 00:00 UTC) |
| Competitive pool | 7,875,000 $COCK to top 100 |
| Liwayway / day | 250,000 $COCK (Blessing; does not move arc leaderboard) |
| MMR | Resets to 1200 at arc open; level, EXP, skills, affection, stats unchanged |
| After arc | Reset rest Oct 9 – Oct 23 with 69,000 $COCK/day Liwayway and unranked play |
The September 26 posts confirm live play and repeat pool sizes; they do not restate the October 9 close or top-100 split in the go-live paste.
Who it affects
Competitive players
High Noon is the middle ranked arc of Season 4. You chase top-100 $COCK on a fresh 1200 ladder while Liwayway pays 250,000 $COCK per day on the side. Grand Final eligibility (up to Rank 250 in the August calendar) is a separate chase from arc prize cuts; the Discord go-live only says this is the second arc to try and qualify.
If you grinded rest after First Light, remember rest matches do not rebuild arc MMR. Only ranked High Noon queues move the arc board.
Collectors and daily grinders
Liwayway at 250K/day is the arc-high daily Blessing rate for Season 4. It still does not affect the competitive leaderboard. Breeding, crafting, and marketplace trades on Ronin still spend RON for gas and COCK where the whitepaper sinks apply; the go-live post ties onchain activity to the Grand Final Tournament pool without publishing a fee schedule in the tweet.
