Game modes

**Game modes** are the ways to test Champions' strength and players' own skills. Skydome offers both the opportunity to play with a group of friends AND the chance to demonstrate players' personal abilities in solo gaming.

## Tutorial

**Tutorial** is the first game mode a player encounters after launching the game, it is the initial experience of Skydome. Finishing the tasks in the Tutorial is a must to proceed with trying out other exciting modes. The Tutorial provides a variety of tips regarding the gameplay, it explains all basic game mechanics, gives a chance to fight different monsters coming in waves, build defenses to slow them down and eliminate them more quickly, and also an opportunity to face scary creatures in the jungle area.

Currently only one Champion is available to play the Tutorial — the noble knight Egon whose incredible skills help players enjoy this game mode. The only one map that can be assigned is the Cross Roads Dawn Temple (the Sun side).

Completing the Tutorial rewards you with the Champion Egon, a few goodies, and Diamonds.

## Training Match

 **Training Match** is a PvE arena where players can practice their skills or test different Champions while fighting against AI controlled characters (also known as 'bots'). Each team consists of 4 players who face each other with the main goal to destroy the enemy Artifact.

The Training Match has no restrictions regarding the Champion selection (unlike the Tutorial), however the only map that can be assigned in this mode is also the Cross Roads Dawn Temple (the Sun side). But unlike the Tutorial, this game mode provides a chance to meet more petrifying Bosses like The Twin Guardians or one of the Aspects who are extremely powerful and also aim to destroy the Artifact. Defeating the Aspect brings victory.
The Training Match mode is suitable for both playing with friends and solo.

## Quick Match

 **Quick Match** is a PvP arena where two teams of 4 players face each other in a fierce battle with the goal to destroy the enemy Artifact. This game mode provides the best chance to demonstrate players' skills and abilities, their strategic thinking and gameplay knowledge. All the possible tactics can be applied here, every detail matters, and every player can contribute something to lead their team to victory.

The Quick Match mode has no restrictions regarding the Champion selection and any of existing maps can be assigned. The main gaming process is not different from other modes: players build walls in various ways to slow down the enemies, place towers to eliminate monsters coming in waves, defeat creatures in the jungle area to earn Prestige Points and useful buffs and attack The Twin Guardians and the Aspects with all their might. Defeating the Aspect brings victory.

## Ranked Match

**Ranked Match** is a PvP arena where players can enter solo or in duo. Ranks are divided into Five tiers, each tier has three divisions inside it.​ The tiers are in the order of: Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond. This is based on MMR (Matchmaking Rank) that separates divisions and tiers. A player must complete 10 placement matches to get their placement rank. Players that are 3 divisions in either direction cannot play together, so a Bronze cannot play with their Platinum or Diamond friends. Lastly for Ranked Matches there is a leaderboard on your in-game profile that allows you to see the top 20 people of the season along with your rank.

## Custom Match

**Custom Match** is a PvP arena where players are free to set up their own conditions for a match: the room name, the map and the side they want to play (the Sun or the Moon). The number of players isn't limited (it is also a good way to learn to play different Champions since the match can be started even with 1 player). The room master can invite other players that are on their friendlist.

The custom matches do not give EXP and coins, and do not count in quests and Champion mastery.
