The Crownfall event in Dota 2 is still—without a doubt—entertaining with its plots, mechanics, and prizes. This multi-act event chronicles the conflict between Skywrath Mage and Vengeful Spirit who both waged wars for the control of the Skywrath throne. Currently, new maps, tokens, mini-games, and fascinating cosmetics are available in the form of three acts. In this guide we will discuss how to complete acts I, II and III, collect tokens and claim rewards.
How Crownfall Works: Overview of the Event
The central aspect of the Crownfall event is earning tokens while playing either classic or Turbo Dota 2 games. These tokens are then made use of, to be able to access different parts of the event map, advance in the story and get rewards. Collecting the different types of tokens (up to three) amongst the heroes of the game is also possible. The match you play determines the token that you will earn alongside the hero that you played as well as whether you won or lost the match.

Token Distribution:
Standard Mode
3 tokens when you win
1 token of any type when you lose.

At the same time, each act allows for the addition of more tokens, thereby providing players with the means to further diversify their strategies through the opportunities offered by the tokens. Players can also purchase tokens using Scraps, which is an auxiliary currency, thus making it easier for them to proceed with the event.
