Battle mode is a game mode that matches players against other human players. There are two versions of battle: Unranked battle and Ranked battle. Battle can be accessed through the 'Battle' button from the main menu screen.
Functionality
In battle you can play against human opponents to get different rewards. Battle mode allows player to:
- get experience to reach new level
- complete daily quests
- get 10 gold reward for each victory
Battle is the main mode to play using constructed decks. It allows to select a custom deck of their choice before searching for opponent. To the top right of the screen player can select what battle he wants to play: Unranked or Ranked. The two modes are functionally identical: two players do battle using constructed decks of their choosing. However, Unranked matches are 'friendly' matches and Ranked matches take place within a ranked system, and offer special rewards. To start searching for match, the player must first select a deck with which to do battle. There are 12 deck slots which allows to switch between different decks. After that player can start to search for opponent using 'Play' button at the bottom right screen. However, player can search for both modes simultaneously.
Unranked Battle
Unranked battle allows to play without worrying about losing rank. Unranked is a good place to learn game mechanics, practice with new decks, learn mechanics. Players can still get experience, get gold reward from victory, complete daily quests. However, players can’t earn rewards from Ranked mode at the end of the season.
Ranked Battle
Ranked battle is the serious version of unranked battle, where players can earn special ranks to get rewards and reflect their power in this season. There are 25 regular ranks, and an extra rank, 'God' above that. 'God' rank additionally shows the player's precise numerical ranking and are sorted by player Elo rating. Ranked play occurs in seasons, each a month long. Ranks are numbered in decreasing order (smaller the number, the higher the rank).
Ranks
New players start at rank 25. Winning games will reward players with star. Losing games will remove star from players. Players can earn more stars with winning streak. The winning streak grants players a bonus star if they won 3 or more ranked matches in a row. Each rank has a specific number of slots waiting to be filled with stars. When player fills their rank with stars he gets a new rank (in decreasing order). Once player filled 1 rank with stars he reaches 'God' rank. Reaching 'God' rank guarantees that 'God' rank will not be lost within a season. Note, that each rank requires different number of stars:
- Ranks from 20 to 16 requires 3 stars.
- Ranks from 15 to 11 requires 4 stars.
- Ranks from 10 to 1 requires 5 stars.
This ranks represent League system. Reaching 20, 15, 10 rank will grant you new League. Each league requires unique number of stars.
Notes
- You can lose stars but you can’t lose ranks below Rank 20.
- Once you reached a new League you can’t demote from it.
- Winning streak works on all ranks.
- Winning streak starts from 3 wins and grants +1 star every win until you lose.
- Losing match while you have 0 stars will demote you to previous rank (if you are not already at last rank in League).
Seasons
Each month of Ranked Battle is called a season. At the start of each season ranks are reset, with each player's new rank determined by their rank at the end of the previous season. Player Ranks will be set to the following numbers:
Current player rank → Rank after each reset
Ranks 20 to 25 → Rank 25
Ranks 15 to 19 → Rank 20
Ranks 10 to 14 → Rank 15
Ranks God to 9 → Rank 10
For example, this means that if you were God rank this season, after the reset you will start again at Rank 10.
