Season X: Ranked Battles
05.01.2022
It’s not a prank-—it’s time for Rank(ed)!
Ranked Battles return on January 7! Accessible throughout Season X: Highlanders, check out the Event Schedule to plan your rise through the ranks.
Unlike regular matchmaking battles, where you earn Bronze and XP, Ranked Battles are all about creating a continuous record of where you sit beside other heroes. Your efforts will still reward you with experience and go towards fulfilling quest objectives (although you won’t receive any Bronze), but Ranked Matchmaking is predominantly about establishing an evolving order of dominance.
As well as ranks to ascend by earning points, there are Weekly and Season rewards to unlock - including a choice of Unit Attires to show off in front of your adversaries.
You can always check out your current rank by pressing ‘J’ and selecting the Ranked Battle tab.

Ranked Battle Information
- Cross-server battles will be enabled, meaning players from NA/EU will be matched together. Matchmaking for NA will first search for players on their own server before moving them into the cross-server queue (EU will automatically go into the cross-server queue).
- Ranked Battles will occur all weekend during the Season, and with cross-server enabled, we anticipate shorter queue times.
- Ranked Battles are scheduled to run throughout Season X.
- Characters must be level 100 or above to take part in Ranked Battles.
- Player groups are limited to 3 members.
- *Above Gladiator, players within a group must all be within one rank of one another. (Eg: If one player is ranked Arena Hero, the others must either be Arena Hero or Gladiator, or Arena Hero and Imperial Hero)
- Deployable artillery per player is limited to one piece for defenders and two for attackers.
- Units do not endure permanent losses.
- In-game currency is not given out as a reward for participation.
- Rewards will be distributed weekly and after the conclusion of a season, as appropriate.
- The rules, schedule and rewards for Ranked Battles are subject to change, although we will strive to keep you updated prior to any changes.
