Spike — Twilight's loyal dragon assistant appears as an unlockable pet skin—one of the most sought-after rewards.

Story Overview

When the Tree of Harmony in Equestria detects a disturbance, it sends a magical signal that bridges two worlds. Players travel to Whale Island, a special event zone, where Discord's chaotic magic threatens to unravel the festival.

Through story quests, you'll team up with each member of the Mane 6, restore balance to the island, and ultimately face Discord in a climactic showdown. The narrative unfolds across multiple chapters, with each pony offering unique dialogue and side missions.

Event Mechanics

Tree of Harmony

At the heart of Whale Island stands a growing Tree of Harmony. Players water it daily using event currency, watching it flourish throughout the collaboration period. As the tree grows, it unlocks milestone rewards. Tend to it consistently, and you'll receive a grand prize when the event concludes.

Gacha System: No Duplicates

Here's the good news for collectors: the MLP gacha uses a no-duplicate system. Once you pull an item, it's removed from the pool—you'll never waste tickets on something you already own.

How it works:

6 separate gacha pools (one per Mane 6 character)
Each pool contains 6 unique items
Maximum 60 pulls per item = 360 tickets per pool
Worst-case scenario: 2,160 tickets for a complete collection

This system guarantees progress. Every pull brings you closer to completion.

What We Know from China

The MLP collaboration first launched in Heartopia's Chinese version from July 17 to August 24, 2025—a full 5-week run. It was a massive hit:

The event drove a 171% revenue increase compared to typical periods
Player engagement spiked as completionists chased the Harmony Car
The no-duplicate gacha was widely praised for being "fair but still exciting"
