PvP Battlegrounds

In the fiery crucible of PvP Battlegrounds, the roosters of Ragroost clash in a test of might, cunning, and mastery, echoing the epic battles of Ragnarok itself. This player-versus-player mode transforms Gullinkambi, Fjalar, and Dagrún into fierce combatants, pitting them against rival flocks in real-time duels where glory and rewards await the victorious. With a dynamic ranking system and season-end prizes, PvP Battlegrounds elevate competition to a mythic scale, offering players a chance to prove their dominance, earn $RAG, and etch their names into the annals of this apocalyptic saga.

PvP Mechanics

PvP Battlegrounds operate as a ranked arena where players deploy a single rooster from their flock—equipped with armor, weapons, and buffs—to face off against an opponent’s champion. Battles leverage the roosters’ stats (STA, STR, AGI, SPT, REC) in a turn-based system, with outcomes determined by skill, preparation, and a touch of fate.

• Entry Requirement: Roosters must be at least Level 5, have a passport, and possess at least 50% STA to enter.

• Matchmaking: Players are paired based on their Elo Rating (a skill-based score starting at 1,000), ensuring fair fights.

• Battle Format:

  • Duration: 2-5 minutes per match, with auto-resolve option.

  • Combat: STR dictates damage, AGI sets turn order and dodge chance, STA absorbs hits, SPT resists debuffs, and REC speeds post-battle recovery.

  • Victory: Deplete opponent’s STA to 0; loss if your STA hits 0.

• Cost: 5 $RAG entry fee per match (winner takes 70% of combined fees, 8 $RAG; loser gets nothing; 25% goes to season prize pool, 5% fee system).

• Cooldown: 15-minute rest per rooster after each match (reduced by REC), encouraging flock rotation.

Ranking System

PvP operates on a seasonal basis, with each season lasting 30 days. Players compete to climb the Ragnarok Leaderboard, a global ranking tracked on Solana’s blockchain for transparency.

• Elo Rating:

  • Win: +10 to +20 Elo (higher gain vs. stronger opponents).

  • Loss: -10 to -20 Elo (higher loss vs. weaker opponents).

  • Starting at 1,000, ratings adjust after each match, reflecting skill.

• Tiers:

  • Bronze (0-1,199 Elo): Entry-level competitors.

  • Silver (1,200-1,499 Elo): Skilled fighters.

  • Gold (1,500-1,799 Elo): Elite warriors.

  • Mythic (1,800+ Elo): Legends of the arena.

• Leaderboard: Top 100 players (Mythic tier) are displayed publicly, updated in real-time, with ties broken by total wins.

Season-End Rewards

At the end of each 30-day season, the PvP Battlegrounds reset, and rewards are distributed based on final rankings. The prize pool comprises 30% of all match entry fees ($RAG), supplemented by a fixed developer contribution to ensure lucrative payouts.

• Reward Structure:

  • Top 1 (Grand Champion): 10% of prize pool + 1 Epic Rooster NFT (unique stats/traits) + 500 $RAG.

  • Top 2-5: 5% of pool each + 1 Rare Rooster NFT + 250 $RAG.

  • Top 6-10: 2% of pool each + 100 $RAG + Special Feed (5 servings).

  • Top 11-50: 50 $RAG + Premium Feed (5 servings).

  • Top 51-100: 25 $RAG + Regular Feed (5 servings).

  • Participation Bonus: All players with 10+ matches get 10 $RAG, regardless of rank.

• Prize Pool Example:

  • 10,000 matches in a season = 50,000 $RAG in fees.

  • 30% to pool = 15,000 $RAG + 5,000 $RAG developer bonus = 20,000 $RAG total.

  • Top 1: 2,000 $RAG + Epic NFT + 500 $RAG = 2,500 $RAG value.

• Reset: Elo ratings soft-reset to 1,000 + (previous season Elo - 1,000) / 2, preserving some progress (e.g., 1,600 becomes 1,300).

Match Rewards

Beyond season-end prizes, each match offers immediate incentives:

• Win: 8 $RAG (70% of 10 $RAG combined entry fees) + 20 XP.

• Loss: 5 XP (effort reward).

Stat Impact and Strategy

• STA Cost: Each match reduces STA by 20-30%, requiring feeding to replenish.

• XP Gain: Fuels rooster leveling, with wins accelerating growth toward Level 10 for breeding.

• Equipment: Armor, weapons, and buffs (e.g., Mjolnir’s Spur, Einherjar’s Mead) provide critical edges, amplifying STR or AGI for victory.
