Nouns Nation Battler has a next-season layer now.
V13 adds rotating Season Challenges on top of the two-week league. A match can become a KO Race, Mint Window, Amp Hunt, Captain Call, Field Claim, Last Stand, or Underdog Audit. These are not just labels: KOs, healing, amplifier triggers, captain rallies, field-control events, and comeback states can score the challenge while the automated 30 vs 30 match keeps running.
Challenge wins now feed the local league table as their own stat, add fan heat, create challenge recaps, and show up in the root cards. The field has a live challenge ribbon so viewers can follow the side quest without opening the operator log.
The TV cast also gets a new challenge brief in the match-start interstitial deck. The broadcast now rotates through League Interstitial, Season Challenge, and Field Guide cards, each with actual generated battler Nouns. It keeps Director Mode, replay bay, QR handoff, Market Pulse, MVP Watch, Comeback Line, and the Space/N/Q/D/I/R controls.
Resetting after a run now starts the next numbered season, so the Nouns Bowl can roll into another two-week league with new challenge texture instead of feeling like a flat replay.
