Halo: Flashpoint Event: The Ascension Series | Week One (NM)

WEEK ONE — JULY 13TH
Husky Siege

An artifact has been located on the battlefield and both sides want it. One team retrieves it from the neutral spawn zone and pushes to deposit it in their designated scoring area while the opposing force does everything they can to stop them or steal it for themselves. Every time a team scores the artifact resets to a new spawn location determined by a D8 roll, and only one artifact will ever be on the field at a time.

Carriers can move freely but cannot fire while holding the artifact, so positioning your teammates becomes just as important as pulling the trigger. The artifact can be stripped from a carrier through a successful assault kill or will scatter from its cube if the carrier goes down to ranged fire, keeping every exchange tense and every decision meaningful.

The game runs up to 8 rounds or until a team reaches 20 Victory Points. Each successful deposit is worth 6 points and every enemy kill puts 1 point on the board.

THE ASCENSION SERIES

The Ascension Series is the Black Harriers' flagship competitive play circuit and the premier organized play experience for Halo: Flashpoint in Albuquerque. After a long awaited return, Spartans and Banished alike are stepping back onto the battlefield with real stakes attached. First place prize support, global Season leaderboard points, and the kind of edge on your seat gameplay that only comes when something is actually on the line. The Ascension Series runs across two weeks in July, one session each week, with a different official scenario each night. Build your list, sharpen your strategy, and show up ready.
