Honor Circle: duel rating, marks and Duelist of the Week
How the Honor Circle duel rating works: start at 500, a level adjustment, duelist marks and their shop, season rewards and the Duelist of the Week title.
The Honor Circle is a seasonal duel rating. Everyone starts the season with 500 points; wins against live opponents add points, losses take them away. The Circle follows the same season as the arena.
How points are calculated
The formula is the arena's Elo, but with a step of 40 and a level adjustment: a hero's strength in the calculation is their Circle points plus 21 for every level. That is why beating a higher-level hero is worth more.
| Who beat whom, with equal points | The winner gets |
|---|---|
| Heroes of the same level | +20 |
| Level 55 beat level 60 | +26 |
| Level 30 beat level 60 | +39 |
| Level 60 beat level 30 | +1 |
The loser loses as many points as the winner gains. A draw moves points too — as half a win.
What counts
- Only duels between live heroes of different accounts: fights with world residents and between your own heroes give no points.
- With the same opponent, at most 3 fights a day count.
Duelist marks and the shop
Every counted win gives 10 duelist marks. They never expire when the season changes and are spent in the Marks shop (Arena → Duels). It sells looks only — nothing there adds power in battle:
| Item | Marks |
|---|---|
| Knight of the Circle title | 150 |
| Crossed Blades portrait frame | 300 |
| Thrown Gauntlet card back | 500 |
| Arena of Honor battle board | 900 |
Season rewards
The Circle table has 100 places — in the game and on the website under Ratings. At the end of the season:
- 1st place — the First Blade of the Circle title and a portrait frame;
- 2nd to 10th — the Blade of the Honor Circle title and a frame;
- 11th to 100th — the Member of the Honor Circle title.
The Duelist of the Week is whoever gained the most Circle points during the week (the week starts on Monday at 03:00 Moscow time). They wear the title for the following week.
