Friday: 20:00 – 09:00 (Next Day) (PT)

■ Valor Floor (No Drops Below 200)
・Valor is earned based on match results.
・If your Valor is below 100, you will gain +10 even for a loss or draw. If below 200, you gain +6. Therefore, your Valor will not decrease in these brackets.

・You will receive Crown rewards based on your rank.
・Your weekly ranking results determine your qualification for the monthly "REIGN SUPREME" tournament.
■ About "Weeks"
・Each weekend's Mandate Battle is referred to as a "Week."
・Rankings are locked in at the end of each Week.
・Four Weeks make up one full cycle. The highest-tier Crown you earn across these four Weeks will be displayed on your profile until the end of Week 4 in the following month's Mandate Battle.
■ How Valor is Accumulated
・Valor is awarded based on match results according to the rules below.
