Competition Rules (Key Points)
A match is won by reaching ≥ 6 points. Each match has a maximum of 7 rounds, minimum of 5 rounds:
Round 1 – 3-Player Battle (3v3)
Round 2 – Challenge
Round 3 – Group Battle
Round 4 – Single Combat
Round 5 – Tag-Team Battle (2-Player)
Round 6 – Group Battle
Round 7 – Single Combat
Tag-Team Battle (2-Player): 4 players/team, next player swaps in immediately when one is downed; running out of substitutes ⇒ loss. If no one is downed when time runs out, damage dealt decides the winner; the player with the lowest deployment order may be forced to swap in.
Group Battle: includes a support — the team leader can invite one player mid-match to replace any player on the field. Without a team leader, support control priority goes to the squad leader, then the player with the highest Combat Power. Players who took part in 3-Player Battle cannot take part in Group Battle.
Win condition (applies to Single Combat/Challenge/3-Player Battle/Group Battle): (1) Eliminate all opponents; (2) Time runs out: the side with more knockdowns wins; (3) Still tied: the side that dealt more damage wins.
Empty slots when time runs out: the system will automatically fill in an eligible player. Bans only take effect once confirmed.
Important Notes
- Lineups and bans/picks carry restrictions between rounds. Plan your roster proactively for Rounds 4, 5, and 7 to maximize your score.
- Round 3 and Round 6 share the same lineup: prepare a suitable support in advance.
- Check your device and connection before match time; practice early to reduce misplays.
Other Features
- Valor Quiz (Sep 7 – Sep 16): every day the system posts 1 question about the Valor Altar; players Level ≥ 68 can answer to earn Silver and EXP.
- Prediction Reward Pool: tied to the Valor Quiz — right or wrong answers both add Silver to the prediction reward pool.
- Valor Champion Fan Quest: for 1 month after being crowned, visit the Jinling – Valor Altar Host NPC daily to pick up the quest and choose to worship the Valor Dashen; completing it grants a Blessed Treasure Chest.
