Defense
Defensive Formation is where the player will decide on a position for their character NFT’s to defend against attacking players
Battle History and Preview
Knowing how to attack and knowing how to improve your formation is key in the arena, but having knowledge on how to defend is also important, that’s why always Check up on your history in arena.
Battle Preview
Opening the history of the players account in arena will show them their attack and defense history, which can filtered out by pressing the buttons on the left, But the main function of the history is to let the players have a saved preview of the match that they had, so they can watch a replay of the attack they did, or a replay of defense when they were getting attacked.
Confirm your ranking and required BWP
The BWP earnings from the Battle Arena and a player’s ranking can heavily affect that player’s daily C2E earnings. This is because BOUNTYKINDS implements a bracket and ranking system for their players that allocates different amounts of YU Points daily.
Ranking meter
The ranking meter shows the BWP needed to attain that rank, Also the ranking meter changes everyday as more players get more BWP , the higher the BWP requirement for the each rank goes higher too.
Summary
Based on the Contribute-to-Earn concept, BOUNTYKINDS players earn more BWP the more they play the game. But with the Battle Arena, players who secure victories are also rewarded more the better they play and strategize against other players. By climbing the Arena Rankings, players can climb up to higher rank brackets and potentially earn more from the daily YU point allocation. Players must be cautious since a single loss could spell disaster due to how drastic BWP gain and losses are at higher ranks. This makes the PvP mode an exciting high-risk high-reward game mode where players are rewarded according to how well they perform.
The Battle Arena is BOUNTYKINDS’ unique take on the turn-based PvP experience and is the optimal game mode for players who enjoy challenging themselves in strategizing team compositions against other players in intense battles.
