[Updated] Ranked Battles return from October 23
02.12.2020
It’s time to find out where you really stand!
Update 02/12/2020: Be aware that you will no longer be able to take part in Rank Battles from December 7. We will announce the start of a new season of Ranked Battles in due course.
Update 25/11/2020: As an additional reward, if you amass 2,100 points and are among the top 25 players on your server for Ranked Battles, your hero will receive the special Mount Banner. The banner will remain available until the end of Season VI.
20/10/2020: Ranked Battles are making a comeback for Season V! Thanks to your feedback, the Tercio Arquebusier Attire is among the top tier rewards and cross-server matching will be enabled across all four EU realms. Check out the updated Event Schedule to plan your ascent through the ranks!
Unlike regular matchmaking battles, from which you primarily earn Bronze and XP, ranked battles are all about creating a persistent record of where you sit alongside other heros. 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 primarily about establishing an evolving order of dominance.
It’s not just about bragging rights, of course. As well as ranks to ascend by earning points, there are weekly and season rewards to unlock - including a choice of units attires, so that your opponents will soon know who they are up against!
You can always check out your current rank by pressing J and selecting the Ranked Battle tab.
