Rift Battles

**Rift Battle** is a competitive game mode where players compete head-to-head against another player's collection. You'll need to prepare a "base" of defensive Fighters, and then attack other player's bases to earn points and increase your Rift Rating. At the end of a season, all players will receive rare rewards, depending on their final rank which is determined by their overall performance reflected through their Rift Rating for that week.

## How it Works

* Rift Battles are available for players that have reached player level 25. To participate in Rift Battles, you will have to setup your defenders found in your base. Make sure to check the modifiers for the best tactical advantage!

* In Rift Battles, players are presented with a list of three possible opponents to fight. Tap on any of these players to get some information on their Boss Node, and you can take a peek at their Player Profile. List of opponents can be refreshed for FREE once every two hours or for 25 Theonite.
	+ At the start of a Rift Season, players will now be matched by Rift Rating and their Player Level. However, as you start to win matches, the Player Level matchmaking becomes weaker and you will start to be matched more exclusively on Rift Rating.

* Spend your Green or Red Rift Tickets to fight your opponents. Defeating all three opponents in your list will grant you a free green Rift Ticket.

* To win a Rift Battle, you need to defeat every node on the enemy's base. There are six nodes in total, each with their own unique modifiers. While attacking, you will only be able to use each of your fighters once. Make sure to plan out your attacks carefully and not use up your best fighters too early in the battle!
	+ You will only get **two chances** to win a Rift Battle. If you lose any two fights on a single Rift defense base, your Rift Battle will end in defeat. Choose your battles carefully.

* Once you have defeated the entire Base, the Rift Battle will end and you will be given a score based on how well you fared. See the table below for information on how points are calculated.

* Defense History displays information of opponents that challenges your base. You can tap DETAILS and see exactly how your opponent fared on your base and what team compositions they used on each fight. Use this information to make improvements to your base!

* If a player has defeated your base, you can choose REVENGE in the Defense History page to challenge that player's base. Revenge battles will consume a Rift Ticket. Revenge battles are successful if you can defeat the entire map AND have a higher score than theirs. Successful revenge battles will grant a huge boost in Rift Rating while unsuccessful revenge battles will cost you more Rift Rating. Only attempt a Revenge fight if you're confident you can win!
	+ You can only attempt a Revenge Battle against a player once - win or lose, you cannot Revenge that same fight again. If I defeat a player and they Revenge Battle me, I cannot Revenge Battle that Revenge Battle.

## Rift Maps

Rift Battles have several Rift Base layouts, each with a unique set of Modifiers on every node. Every season (weekly), the Rift Map configuration will change. This will give players a huge incentive to update their defense layouts regularly to take advantage of devilish Modifier combos. The Boss Nodes for each map will be elementally themed, but the entire map will change every week.

The modifiers for rift battles change every week in the following order:

* Water Map
* Fire Map
* Air Map
* Light Map
* Dark Map
