Battle mode

**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** mode can be accessed through the 'Battle' button from the main page.

# 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 30+ 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** they want 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.

# Casual Battle

**Casual** (or unranked) battle allows you to play without worrying about losing rank. Playing in **Casual** mode is a good way to learn game mechanics, practice with new decks, and learn card mechanics. Players still receive experience and can complete daily quests or win gold. However, players can’t earn rewards from **Ranked** mode at the end of the season.

# Ranked Battle

**Ranked** battle is the serious version of **Casual** 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 (the smaller the number, the higher the rank).

## Ranks

New players start at rank 25. To progress to the next rank, a player must accumulate a specified number of "stars" or points. Winning games will reward players with stars. Losing a game will remove one star from a player. Players can earn stars by winning games and can earn additional stars if the game was won under special situations.

* Winning any ranked match awards 1 star.
* The first time a player wins a ranked match each day, 1 additional star is awarded.
* Winning a ranked match against a "much stronger" opponent awards 1 additional star. Any opponent that is 5 ranks above you is considered much stronger.
* Winning a ranked match while on a winning streak awards 1 additional star. A player who has won 3 consecutive games or more is considered to be on a winning streak. Practice mode, casual battles, adventure mode, and Pandora mode do not count in the streak tracking.

Each rank has a specific number of slots waiting to be filled with stars. When a player fills their rank with stars they get a new rank (in decreasing order). Once a player has filled rank 1 with stars they reach 'God' rank. All ranks are reset at the end of the season to the bottom of the current leauge (for 'God' rank it is rank 10). Note, that each league requires a different number of stars to progress to the next rank:

* Ranks from 25 to 21 requires 2 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

These ranks represent the League system. Reaching ranks 20, 15, or 10 will raise a player to a new League.

## Notes

* Once you reached a new League you can’t be demoted from it or lose ranks below each reached checkpoint (25, 20, 15, 10)
* Losing matches while you have 0 stars will demote you to previous rank (if you are not already at the last rank in League)

## Seasons

Each month of **Ranked** battle is called a season. Seasons end on the first Monday of the month. 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.

## Rewards

Players achieving these ranks will receive the following rewards at the end of a season:

* Rank 20: 1 Battle Chest.
* Rank 15: Silver Cardback, 2 Battle Chests.
* Rank 5: 1 Mythic Chest.
* Rank 0 (God Rank): Golden Cardback.
* This means that a God rank player will receive both Cardbacks, 3 Battle Chests, and 1 Mythic Chest in total.
