ELO and Ranks

How ELO Works

Every tracked player starts at 600 ELO. Confirmed competitive kills can add ELO, while deaths and combat suicides can remove ELO.

Killing a higher-rated or better-geared player is worth more than killing someone below your rating or worse geared than you.

Large rating gaps matter more heavily: high-ranked players can receive very little ELO for repeatedly killing much lower-rated players.

Weapon type matters. Sword and bow kills are generally worth more than crystal, anchor, or mace kills because crystal PvP is the normal 2b2t meta and melee/ranged finishes are harder to land cleanly.

Active killstreaks add a small ELO bonus per kill. The bonus caps after a few kills, and resets once the player dies, so streaks matter without creating runaway rating gains.

Repeatedly killing the same player is heavily reduced by anti-farm protection, so farming alts or one target does not keep boosting rating.

Existing valid kills were backfilled as fair even-geared crystal fights to kickstart the ranking system.

No ELO is awarded for possible bots, low-confidence events, out-of-render events, or kills against players the tracker cannot classify as meaningful PvP targets.
