Duel of Champions

Duel of Champions is a PvP play-mode in Era of Chaos, unlocked at Player Level 34, where players can duel each other in a pseudo-real time mode. Amongst the most important rewards players can obtain Universal Hero Tokens and League Coins to spend in the Champion Store (frequently exchanged for specific Heroes or more ).
=Seasons=
Duel of Champions runs based on a season mechanic. A season starts at the beginning of the week at 9 AM and finishes the next Sunday to Monday midnight. Every season player rank and points are reset and have an equal chance to climb in the ladder. Fighting in matches awards points to players - more for winning, less for ending in a draw or losing.
Note: season rewards are not collected automatically at the end of the season. Players have 7 days to manually loot them, before the following season starts, which wipes any unclaimed spoils.

==Ranking== 
Accumulating points during a season enables players to climb in rank. Growing in rank happens automatically and is independent from other players' progress in the season.
Rank has the following benefits:
* Climbing to the next rank grants an immediate reward to the player.
* At the end of each day, players receive a daily reward based on their current rank.
* The capacity of the player grows. Capacity refers to the amount of /h that automatically accumulates in a Reward Pool. This pool can be collected at any moment by the player to add into the actual reserve that can be spent in the Champion Store.
* Marquis and King ranks unlock specific items in the Champion Store.
* Legendary rank allows to customize (once per season) the three additional hotspot units.
Rank 	Required Points	Capacity	Upgrade Reward	Daily Reward

Apprentice 	1020+ 	1000/h 	5000 5 30 	8000 24 30

==Battle of the Gods Qualification==
The top 32 players at the end of the season are eligible for participating in the next Battle of the Gods (BoG).
However, because BoG happens only every other week, the participants are decided based on the Duel of Champions leaderboard at the end of the previous week.
Therefore, Duel of Champion weeks that coincide with BoG week do not matter from this point of view.
=Formation=
While all the players' heroes and units are available in Duel of Champions, there are some caveats to consider.
==Hotspot Units==
Specific units will receive an ATK and HP hotspot bonus. These bonuses can range from +50% up to +100%.

Here are the more specific rules in regards to this:
* There are always 2 fixed season hotspot units. They are decided at the beginning of the season and remain hotspot until the end of the season. Their bonuses are usually +50%.
* Up to three additional hotspot units will be randomly decided. Their number is decided by the rank - Novice players benefit from one additional hotspot units for example. Also upgrading in rank shuffles previous hotspot units. 
* At Legendary rank, the player gets to choose the three additional hotspot units instead of the game randomizing them.
==Hero Balanced Mode==
In order to level the field a bit, all heroes are subjected to balanced mode. That is
* Hero level is retained and still matches the level of the player
* Hero Attributes are completely stripped. Only the hero's 4* innate hero attributes are taken into consideration (e.g.: Sandro gets 25 INT and 50 KNW)
* Hero Spells are set at a predefined level based on the hero level, but seems not to be maximum (e.g. A level 91 hero has all spells at level 21). They don't benefit from bonus levels. 
* Spell Mark is not available
* Hero Spells don't seem to benefit from global bonuses like Hero Global Bonuses and Magic Guild global bonuses (to be investigated further to what extent)
* All heroes that you own (including the season Assistant) have Hero Adjutant skills level 40.
==Assistant Hero==
Each season features an assistant hero that is available to players until the end of the season. The hero is globally decided for all servers and is subjected to balanced mode.
Each player is still free to play with any hero from their own collection.
