- Rank Wars
- Match History
Rank Wars (ランク 戦, Ranku Sen ?) are official matches fought between agents as training and to increase their ranking. They are divided into Solo and Team Matches. In Team Matches, they are fought between 3 or 4 Squads at a time. The squad with the lowest ranking has the right to choose the Rank War Stage.
Rising to no.1 or no.2 in the war rankings gives a squad the right of challenge to rise to A-rank in the form of a promotion test.[1][2]
Rank War Rules[]
B-rank Wars[]
According to their rank, B-rank squads are split into the three groups of Upper (1-7th place), Middle (7-14th place), and Lower (15th place and below). The squads compete for points in matches within that group.[3]
After every match, the points scored are tallied and the standing changes. Depending on that a switch can occur between the groups. B-rank no.1 and no.2 receive the right of challenge to rise to A-rank.[3]
When the season starts, bonus points are added according to the standing of the previous season. (The higher the standing, the bigger the advantage next season.)[3]
Standard Rules for the Matches[]
- A match is a three-way or four-way squad battle. (1 squad is 1 operator and 1-4 combatants)
- Defeating 1 member of an enemy squad is 1 point. (Cases where you are taken down by trion leakage, the point goes to the one who did the most damage)
- The squad that survives until the end earns 2 bonus survival points. (Cases where the time runs out before the match is settled, there are no survival points)
- 1 match has a time limit of 45~60 minutes (This changes according to the size of the stage. The bigger the stage, the longer the time limit)
- In the match, the squad with the lowest standing has the right to choose the stage.
- Even in squad rank wars solo points fluctuate just like solo rank wars.
- Only when there are no members of enemy squads in a 60m radius can a voluntary bailout be made. (Exiting the stage without giving the enemy points)
- Withdrawing from the combat area of the stage is treated as the same as a voluntary bailout.
