Battleground: Brawl and Multi-Duel
The 5v5 battleground in Zarhold: the Brawl and Multi-Duel modes, how each is won, 150 Honor per win and a rating ladder of its own.
The battleground is a five-versus-five PvP fight with its own rating ladder, separate from the arena. A win earns 150 Honor — the currency you spend on gear in the PvP shop.
Two modes
Brawl
A team fight on one shared board: ten heroes, five against five. You lead your hero while allies and opponents fight alongside. The team that defeats the other wins.
Multi-Duel
Five one-on-one duels at once: each fighter on your side is paired with an enemy fighter. You play your own duel, and the other pairs are resolved automatically. The side that wins more duels wins the battleground; if it is a tie, the side with more total Health left wins. After the fight you see a table of all five pairs and the score.
How to join
Open the Arena, go to the Battle tab and find the Team Battleground block: choose a mode and press "⚔️ Fight Manually".
- Alone — the fight starts at once, and world residents fill the seats.
- As a party — the leader calls the party, and the game first spends 45 seconds looking for a live enemy party; every live player plays their own hero.
Levels work as in the arena: tiers 1–59 and 60, and below 60 the level gap is at most ±6.
Honor and rating
- A win gives 150 Honor, a loss gives nothing.
- You can earn up to 5,000 Honor a week, or 7,500 with the catch-up bonus. The week starts on Monday at 03:00 Moscow time.
- There is one battleground rating for both modes, calculated with Elo against the average rating of the enemy team — see Rating and calibration.
- With premium there is a battleground auto-battle — up to 3 a day, with the same rewards.
