Arena: cups, leagues and rewards
How many cups each league takes, what its chest holds and what you get for reaching it the first time. What a battle against a live opponent or a bot is worth, what a lost defence costs, and where the cup floor holds.
Leagues and rewards
Tickets per day: 5 · For a win: 35 ether · Weekly season: cups drop by 30%, 70% is kept, but never below your floor
| League | Cups from | Cup floor | Chest: ether | Chest: dust | Also in the chest | One-time league prize |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bronze | 0 | 0 | 50 ether | 4 dust | — | — |
| Silver | 250 | 0 | 70 ether | 6 dust | — | — |
| Gold | 650 | 250 | 110 ether | 10 dust | — | 1 scroll |
| Platinum | 1350 | 650 | 210 ether | 14 dust | — | 1 crystal |
| Diamond | 2500 | 1350 | 230 ether | 20 dust | 1 scroll | 1 crystal |
The league chest is claimed once a day and is paid by your cups without the floor: the floor keeps your cups, not your chest, which goes on shrinking with the weekly decay. The one-time prize is given once, for reaching the league the first time, and the season reset does not bring it back.
Battle against a live opponent
What a battle is worth depends on the cup gap: the opponent's cups minus yours. The same gap sets the opponent's label: Strong when they are more than 20 above you, Weak when more than 20 below, Even otherwise. The label doesn't change the price.
| Cup gap | Win | Loss |
|---|---|---|
| 201 or more below you | 0 | −27 |
| −200 … −190 | +7 | −27 |
| −189 … −170 | +8 | −25 |
| −169 … −150 | +9 | −24 |
| −149 … −130 | +10 | −22 |
| −129 … −110 | +11 | −21 |
| −109 … −90 | +12 | −20 |
| −89 … −70 | +14 | −19 |
| −69 … −50 | +15 | −18 |
| −49 … −30 | +17 | −17 |
| −29 … −10 | +18 | −16 |
| −9 … +9 | +20 | −15 |
| +10 … +29 | +22 | −13 |
| +30 … +49 | +24 | −12 |
| +50 … +69 | +26 | −10 |
| +70 … +89 | +29 | −9 |
| +90 … +109 | +32 | −8 |
| +110 … +129 | +35 | −7 |
| +130 … +149 | +38 | −6 |
| +150 … +169 | +42 | −5 |
| +170 … +189 | +46 | −5 |
| 190 or more above you | +50 | −4 |
Cups are added for a win and taken away for a loss; they never drop below zero.
Battle against a bot
| Bot | Bot Power | Win | Loss |
|---|---|---|---|
| Weak | ×0.85 yours | +12 | −8 |
| Even | ×1 yours | +20 | −15 |
| Strong | ×1.2 yours | +32 | −20 |
A bot is matched to your Power times this number, not to your cups, so it pays by its tier and the cup gap plays no part. Beating a bot takes no defence cups from anyone.
Defence and the cup floor
A lost defence costs half of the attacker's win — from Gold up, and never more than 50 cups a day.
The half is rounded down, and below Gold a lost defence costs nothing. The cup floor (a column in the league table) is the threshold of the league one step below the best one you have reached: neither the weekly decay nor lost defences take you below it. It does not protect you from your own losses.
