Player vs Player (PvP)

In BattleForge, Player versus Player (abbreviated PvP) allows players to take their decks and challenge other players. Players can play Unranked matches for a consequence-free environment or play to improve their rank in Ranked matches. This PvP gameplay mode allows players to use decks built from their entire collection of cards. PvP can be done with one player to another (1v1) or in teams of two players against two other players (2v2).

Ranked PvP

Ranked Matches use an automated match-up system in the Dueling Grounds, while Unranked Matches are created in the Sparring Grounds.

Players that participate in 1v1 Ranked PvP earn an ELO score. Before the game begins, an automated match-making system matches players or teams, and thus, the competition is not known until the game begins. The system tries to ensure that opponents have close ELO scores, though the time to find a match may take some time depending on the availability of opponents. Since these matches are somewhat guaranteed to be of close ability, ranked matches are the only way for players to earn PvP Tokens and to improve their ELO score.

Unranked PvP

Unranked matches allow players a free-form mode of PvP, without consequences or ranking constraints. This allows players to test new decks and strategies, take on players of opponents of their choice, and learn the PvP maps. Since Unranked PvP provides no constraints and consequence, it also provides no rewards. They are played in the Sparring Grounds.

Solo PvP

Solo PvP is where a player goes head to head with another player and the winner will gain ELO depending on the ELO score of the opinion depends how much the winners score will increase by, same goes for the loser, however their score will decrease depending on the winners ELO. There are special PvP maps just for 1v1 games. The better ELO score the harder the competition will be.

2V2

2v2 PvP is where two teams of two work together to defeat the others. There are special PvP maps just for 2v2 games. Compared to 1v1 PvP there is no ELO scoring instead it gives team MMR for that goes into a leader-board. The better the MMR the better the ranking in the leader-board.

PvP Maps

After matchmaking, from a pool of eight maps for both 1v1 and 2v2, a map will be selected at random. Most maps contain a bottleneck in the middle, which houses a monument spot and several power wells spots. This gives players incentive to 'rush' to the center in the map in order to gain map dominance.
