Onchain Heroes Maze of Gains: Throne retired, key split shifts to Bounty Gems

On September 24, 2026, Onchain Heroes retired the Throne in Maze of Gains, sending the key share that fed Throne rolls into Bounty Gems instead. Keys now fund a 70% / 23% / 7% weekly, gem bounty, and team split, with higher boss gem odds. Deed Season players still farming Golden Corn or Eve items face an hourly turn-in decay in the final 24 hours before the season locks.

Background

Onchain Heroes: Maze of Gains is the studio’s free-to-open maze crawler on Abstract. Runs burn keys toward weekly prize pools, gem bounties, and franchise sinks tied to the HERO token.

Through early September 2026, the Throne still mattered: the September 3 Dragma Unleashed wrap put Sir Jackalot back as a temporary gatekeeper and required a full clear before a Throne roll could fire. This week’s patch removes that lane entirely and reallocates its key cut to the gem pool most runners touch through Bounties.

Deed Season (MoG × Yield Fields) is live from September 17 through September 28, 2026, 4:00 PM UTC, with 850 whitelist spots on the line via Silo and Raffle paths (Deed Season coverage). This piece follows that September 17 opener with a mid-season economy patch: Throne retirement and Corn turn-in decay rules.

What happened

On September 24, 2026, the studio pointed players in the official Onchain Heroes Discord⁠ (opens in new tab) to a weekly stats and patch thread on X (@onchainheroes)⁠ (opens in new tab). The thread headline stack names Throne retirement, Bounty Gem reallocation, Deed Season Corn decay, a Last Stand buff, and client fixes.

Throne retired and key split

The studio says the Throne has been retired and that 5% of every key that funded the Throne now flows into the Gem pool instead.

Infographic copy in the thread reads “BOUNTIES REPLACE THRONE.”

Bounty Gem buffs

To match the larger gem bounty slice, the studio buffed gem drops on boss kills:

Deed Season Corn and Eve turn-in window

In the final 24 hours of Deed Season, Corn and Eve items lose value every hour, falling from 100% to 20% of their scoring value. The rule applies to both the Silo leaderboard and the Raffle. Anything submitted before that window still counts at full value.

The thread’s in-client card copy warns players to turn items in early. Treat live percentage timers in screenshots as UI state, not a fixed article fact.

Last Stand

When Last Stand revives you, you now ignore all remaining damage for the rest of that turn. The studio’s intent is to stop revives that immediately die to the next hit in the same sequence.

Fixes and improvements

• Wallet connection and auth safety and reliability improvements
• Fixed a race condition when confirming token bridge transactions
• Referral links now open inside the MoG lobby instead of kicking you out to an external flow

Weekly snapshot (studio figures)

Treat these as a one-week studio snapshot from the same X thread, not a checked market floor:

The closing tweet notes four more days of Deed Season at post time, consistent with the September 28, 4:00 PM UTC lock.

Who it affects

Players

If you still chase Throne jackpots, replan around Bounties and gem payouts. The retired Throne key cut and the 23% gem bounty slice (up from 18%) put more key weight on boss gem hits and the buffed 15% drop rate.

If you are racing Deed Season Silo or Raffle stock, schedule Golden Corn and Eve item turn-ins before the final-24-hour decay window ahead of the September 28, 4:00 PM UTC lock. Full-value submissions need to land outside that hourly decay band.

Last Stand builds get a combat fix: one proc should buy a full turn of immunity from follow-up damage in the same sequence.

Wallet and bridge users should retry flaky confirms after the race-condition fix; referral invitees should stay inside the lobby when opening shared links.

Collectors

This ship does not announce a new mint. Franchise NFT context stays on related pages such as Genesis Heroes, Ringbearers, and Items. Deed Season still routes toward a Yield Fields Deed mint on Robinhood Chain, not a new Abstract collection drop.

What to watch next

• Whether the studio posts a follow-up on Throne cosmetics or history UI now that the lane is retired
• Deed Season leaderboard lock and raffles after September 28, 4:00 PM UTC
• Next weekly X⁠ (opens in new tab) or Discord ship for prize-pool and gem-payout movement under the new split
• Yield Fields Deed mint date and price (still unpublished in the Deed Season launch materials)

Bottom line: Stop planning around Throne full clears, lean into Bounty Gem math under the new split, and turn Deed Season Corn and Eve stock in before the final-day hourly decay if you still want full Silo or Raffle credit.
