The match is scheduled to be held in December 2020 via streaming session. Match details to be announced.

Starting from the Qualifying Match (Top 1600), all contestants can enter the “Match Mode” by tapping the Mad Head on the main screen 30 minutes before the game starts.

In the “Match Mode”, contestants will challenge 3 stages with their own teams. The ranking of a contestant will be determined by the combined score of “Stage Clearance Time” and “Achievement Bonus” obtained from each stage.

“Stage Clearance Time” Score:

The shorter the clearance time is, the higher ranking and score will be. (Only the best record will be counted; If there are more than 1 contestants achieving the same time, the priority will be given to the one with less battle rounds; The second criteria will be the damage output)

“Achievement Bonus” Score:

There will be 3 bonus achievements in each stage. Bonus score will be awarded when a contestant completes the achievement (given when the achievement is completed and the stage is passed; score will not be given if the achievement is completed but fails to pass the stage). Each achievement can only be completed once.

E.g. The clearance time of Contestant A ranks no.1 in all 3 stages. He receives 1000 marks from each stage, 3000 marks in total. In addition, he completes the 1st achievement in 2 stages. According to the list above, 25 marks will be awarded for completing the 1st Achievement, which means 50 bonus marks will be given to contestant A. The final score of contestant A: 3000 (Stage Clearance Time) + 50 (Achievement Bonus) = 3050

Forbidden items in the “Match Mode”: “Majesty of Millennium – Ying Zheng”, “Hegemon of the Empire – Xiang Yu”, duplicating monsters and customised Dragon Crafts.
