Brand New Content
I. Introducing Champion Fight and Champion Fight Point System
For players who've reached Asura and seek greater challenges, we're launching Champion Fight matches and the Champion Fight Point system in Ranked Mode. This is your gateway to a new era of competitive glory.
- Champion FightA New Battlefield for Elite Players
(1) Prerequisites
In Ranked Solo, Duos, or Trios modes, teams with any player whose current mode rank ≥4500 points will match into Champion Fight by default.
Players with exceptional recent performance may access Champion Fight early, even below 4500 points. Early access grants bonus Champion Fight Points and a 30% rank score bonus or a 30% less rank score loss.
(2) Match Characteristics
Fewer players per match means sharper competition.
Strategic resource distribution changes keep every match more unpredictable.
Tighter initial safe zones in Solo create more intense encounters.
Champion Fight Points: Exclusive Reward System
(1) Unlock Requirements
Champion Fight unlocks the Champion Fight Point system. You can find it in your Ranked Mode interface.
(2) How to get Champion Fight Points
Your match performance determines Champion Fight Points earned at the end of each match. Better performance earns more points. Your points only go up, never down.
(3) Rewards
Champion Fight Points feature six different tiers. Stack your points and climb the ranks for exclusive rewards, including prestigious Champion profile backgrounds and Champion auras that mark true competitive excellence.
Reward Duration: Champion profile backgrounds and auras activate immediately and last until the end of the next season. Earn them again to extend the duration by another full season.
