Modes
Ranked, seasons & duels
Fight other players turn by turn. Ranked duels move your ELO and your season rating; friendly duels are just for fun.
Ranked matchmaking
Ranked opens once you finish Part 3 · Stardust Crusaders in the story. Then queue from PvP → Ranked to be matched against a player close to your ELO. First pick your ranked roster: 5 different stands from your whole collection. Once someone is found, a pick-and-ban opens: you each ban 2 of the other's stands (20 seconds; run out and their 2 strongest are banned for you), then put your 3 survivors in fighting order (20 seconds; run out and your roster order is used). Then the duel starts. Bring depth, not just your three best. A win adds 25 ELO and a loss takes 20 (never below zero). If both teams fall together it's a draw and nobody's ELO moves.
Every pick has a turn clock. When it runs out, your stand picks a target on its own; run out twice in a row and you lose the duel.
Rival bots and chat
Nobody around? After 45 seconds in the queue you can fight a rival bot instead. It's always labelled as a bot, mirrors your roster's rarities, levels and stars, and plays the same pick-and-ban. A bot match pays a quarter of the ELO (+6 for a win, −5 for a loss, up to +30 a day from bots) and doesn't count toward the season's games or ladder. Quests still count it. While you wait, the ranked lobby chat on the Ranked tab is open to everyone; once matched, a match chat opens for you and your opponent, from the draft to the end screen.
Rank tiers
- ACT 10+
- ACT 2500+
- ACT 31000+
- ACT 41500+
- Requiem2000+
- Love Train2500+
- Over Heaven3000+
Your lifetime ELO is shared with the bot and never resets. The top players are on the ranked ladder.
Seasons
A ranked season lasts one calendar month. Next to your lifetime ELO you have a season rating that uses the same tiers and moves by the same amounts. A new season doesn't wipe it: you start from half the rating you finished your last season with (in your first season, half your lifetime ELO). See where you stand on Battle → Ranked and on the Season ladder.
Play at least 5 ranked duels in a month to qualify. Once the season ends, claim your reward on Battle → Ranked (you get a notification). The reward follows the tier you finished in:
| Final tier | From | Reward | Title |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ⅰ ACT 1 | 0 | 350 Meteor Dust | – |
| Ⅱ ACT 2 | 500 | 700 Meteor Dust | – |
| Ⅲ ACT 3 | 1 000 | 1,400 Meteor Dust | ✓ |
| Ⅳ ACT 4 | 1 500 | 2,100 Meteor Dust + 1 Arrowhead | ✓ |
| 🏹 Requiem | 2 000 | 3,150 Meteor Dust + 1 Arrowhead | ✓ |
| 🚂 Love Train | 2 500 | 4,200 Meteor Dust + 2 Arrowheads | ✓ |
| ☀ Over Heaven | 3 000 | 5,600 Meteor Dust + 3 Arrowheads | ✓ |
Season titles name the tier and the month, like “Requiem · October 2026”. They're given from ACT 3 up and stay on your account for good. Show one under your name from your profile (see titles). Unclaimed rewards wait for up to 6 months.
Friendly duels
Challenge anyone by username or Discord ID from Battle → Friends, or with the ⚔ Challenge button on a profile or friend. They have 5 minutes to accept from their inbox. Friendly duels don't change ELO or your season, but they count toward duel quests and achievements.
Every duel can be watched live and replayed afterwards: see replays, live duels & simulator.
For practice without risk, fight the training dummy from the same Battle page.
