About Rankings
Accumulate Valor based on your match results. Your total Valor determines your rank.
Rankings are finalized based on the results of each weekend.
Earn Crown rewards corresponding to your rank.
Weekly ranking results determine your eligibility for the monthly tournament, REIGN SUPREME.
About "Weeks"
Each weekend of Mandate Battles is classified as a "Week."
Rankings are finalized at the end of each Week.
Four Weeks make up one full term. The highest Crown tier you achieve across these four Weeks will be displayed on your profile until the end of Week 4 of the following month.
How to Earn Valor
Valor is gained based on battle results under the following rules.
The calculation differs depending on whether you have less than 100 Valor or 100+ Valor.
Once you reach 100 Valor, your score will never drop below 100.
Under 100 Valor:
Win: +10
Loss/Draw: +2
Bonus: If you defeat an opponent with higher Valor, you gain bonus Valor equal to (Opponent's Valor - Your Valor) / 33 (Max +40).
100 Valor or more:
Win: +10
Loss/Draw: -8
Bonus: If you defeat an opponent with higher Valor, you gain bonus Valor equal to (Opponent's Valor - Your Valor) / 33 (Max +40).
Rewards and Missions
Rank high in Mandate Battles to earn Crowns:
Top 1%: Gold Crown
Top 5%: Silver Crown
Top 15%: Bronze Crown
Top 50%: Blue Crown
You can check your earned Crowns in your Profile Details.
At the end of Week 4, the highest tier Crown you earned across the term will be displayed on your profile until the end of the next month's Week 4.
Until the Week 4 results are finalized, your profile will display the previous month's Crown (or none at all).
In late September, we plan to add missions that grant exclusive Titles based on the number of Bronze (or higher) Crowns earned.
Matchmaking Details
Matchmaking targets adapt based on your win record.
If no opponents are available in your immediate bracket, the matchmaking range will expand over time.
What is REIGN SUPREME?
A monthly tournament featuring the top 2 players from each Week's Mandate Battle (8 players total).
These 8 players compete in a bracket to crown the monthly champion.
If a qualifying player is a duplicate or declines to participate, the invite passes down to the 3rd place player (or lower) for that Week.
The 8-player tournament will be broadcasted live.
Players who place in the Top 3 will receive custom-drawn portrait icons and exclusive Titles.
