Stadium Competitions

So - you want to take part in a Stadium Competition do you?

First, find a spot where you and your friend/s can access (helps if you are all together at the same time).

Open the menu screen (you know - the little red ball thing at the bottom of the screen). You will see a new button with the word STADIUM underneath it.

Press the button - go on, you know you want to!

You can’t have a competition without other players so you must share it (just like you would do with Altars and Recipes).

You can leave the password blank or if you want to ensure that any passing player cannot ‘gatecrash’ you can enter a password that you can share with your friends.

In this example I have left it blank.

Then hit the APPLY Button.

Your friends (and anyone passing if you did not set a password) will see the Stadium (again a bit like an Altar for a Recipe).

All they have to do is tap on it on the screen.

They will then see the JOIN screen (note the Level boost for the lower level player joining).

You will then see that your friend/s have joined you in the Stadium.

At this point you will be prompted to hold down the green Button until it is confirmed (at the Elyland Server) that everyone is ready to compete.

And here’s your screen ready showing you who your initial opponent will be (or only opponent if there are only two of you taking part).

If you do not start the battle within the alloted time, you wil forfeit the Competition (which is not good!).

Select your team of Creatures the same way as you would in the Duel of Wizards.

Be aware that there is no option for using potions during the Competition so make sure your Creatures are at full health!

These are your your attacking Team Creatures when you Compete against a friend.

They are originally the last team you used in the Duel of Wizards (if you have not taken part in a Duel of Wizards, they will be a random selection from your creatures).

You can change any of them out at this stage to attack with, but the original creatures will be the ones your opponent faces when it is their turn in the Competition.

Off you go!

Remember, Battling style is everything, Dodging is vital.

Fight as if it were a Duel of Wizards.

The screenshot here is from player 2 just to show that the Creature was not in the player 1 original lineup.

You can of course quit the Competition at any time by hitting the surrender flag - but you will lose points by doing so so be warned!

At the end of the Competition - when everyone has finished Battling, you will be able to see how well (or not) everyone did.

This will then feed into the Competition Ranking Scores.

At the time of writing it appears that in order to gain any Competition points, both you and your opponent/s must win their respective battles, points are then decided based on HP retention and a few other factors (which are currently unknown).

For example, if there are only two players in the Competition and one does not win their battle, not only will they lose Competition points but the other player (who won their battle) will not gain any Competition points.

This appears to be intentional to prevent ‘cheaters’ from using purposely weak teams and stops players from benefitting from opponents that ‘surrender’ the Competition.

The Ranking scores are monitored during the month - at the end of the month there are huge rewards for the World top 100 only. If you don’t make the top 100 then unfortunately there will be no reward for you (currently).

The section below is the Elyland Competition Rules information:

COMPETITION RULES

WHAT’S A STADIUM?

If you have already become the master of duels and you are sick of random competitors, then Stadium is a place just for you. Here you can test your duel skills face to face with your friends.

Just get together, place a Stadium and battle without limits!

There can be from 2 to 7 players in a Competition. Players hold robin-round tournaments. It is forbidden fora player to leave the Stadium until all battles are over, that’s why the competition with a big amount of competitors is a challenge for the most tough ones!

RATING AND REWARDS

At the end of the month the best players will receive a big prize. According to the results of Competition the participants receive (but can also lose) rating points. 100 best players of the month will be rewarded with runes and essence. For example, the reward of the winner will be 250 runes of each level and 5 million essence. You can see the information about prizes distribution and your place in the Competitions rating in the ratings window.

How can you most effectively raise your rating?

First, you need to compete with strong players. Only competitors with high Competitions and Duels ratings will give you a chance to get many rating points. The place you take in the Competition is, of course, also important.

Moreover, the amount of players has also a big importance — large Competition will bring significantly more rating points to the winners.

GATHERING 0F PARTICIPANTS

Players who have reached the 25th level can take part in the Competition. In order to even out chances, the players of younger levels get a special bonus, which increases CP of their creatures. On the start screen you can see real level of every participant and till which level it had been raised. Keep in mind that the bonus will compensate only difference in players' levels, but it doesn’t maximize the creature’s level. Improve your creatures yourself!

In addition, don’t forget to resurrect and heal all your best fighters, before you enter a Stadium, because you won’t be able to do it during the Competition!

When the participants have been gathered, they have to hold the start button pressed, until server receives a confirmation from every player. And now — to the battle!

BATTLE RULES

All battles in a Competition are being held according to the usual duels rules — every player has to defeat the competitors' duel teams, one by one. But you have to keep in mind a few important peculiarities:

1. Creatures can’t be resurrected or healed between battles. In order to participate in a large Competition, you’ll have to collect more than 6 good fighters!

2. Time for each battle and rest in between is limited. Respect your opponents and don’t slow down the process. If a player’s overdue a timer, he will be counted as defeated in all left Competition battles.

3. The order of opponents. in which you have to fight, is unknown in advance. Perhaps, the most difficult opponent will be in the end. Take this into account when distributing your forces.

END OF COMPETITION

After finishing all battles, the player can leave the Stadium and return to it to view the results of battles.

Full Competition results will be summed up after all participants finish their battles. Thereby the rating points are charged and after that the Stadium disappears.

Places in the Competition are divided by the number of victories in duels, and then - by the best percentage of the saved HP.
