Rules of combat

What counts as a rep

• Put your phone on the floor in front of you with the front camera facing you.
• The camera must see your whole upper body, arms and hips.
• Lower until your elbows bend to about 90 degrees, then push back up until your arms are straight.
• Keep your body straight from shoulders to hips. Sagging or piking doesn't count.
• If the screen turns red, the camera has lost you. Reps don't count until it sees you again.

Ranked battles

A ranked battle lasts 30 seconds. Whoever does more valid reps wins. Equal reps is a draw. Matchmaking looks for an opponent near your rating and widens the search the longer you wait.

Placement

Your first 5 ranked battles are placement battles. Until you finish them you are Unranked. After the fifth, the game reveals your starting tier.

Rating and tiers

• Wins raise your rating and losses lower it. Beating a stronger opponent earns more.
• A bigger winning margin earns a small bonus.
• Your rating sets your tier, from Bronze up to Fury.
• Reaching a tier above Bronze gives you 2 shields. A shield stops one loss from dropping you a tier.
• Winning against the same opponent more than 3 times in a day earns less rating.
• Fury players who don't play ranked for 7 days lose 25 rating a day, never below the Fury floor.

Leaving a battle

Forfeiting counts as a loss. If you lose connection, you have 10 seconds to come back before the battle counts as a loss.

Friend battles

Battles against a friend through a link or a challenge can be 30, 60 or 90 seconds long. They are unranked: your rating doesn't change, but your reps still earn FP.

FP

• 1 FP per rep, up to 300 rep FP a day.
• 20 FP for finishing a ranked battle, plus 30 more for winning.
• 15 FP for finishing a training session.
• More for daily missions, streaks, Arena Road and ranking up.

Streaks

Any battle or training session keeps your streak going for the day. Days follow your local time zone.
