Dominion

Ranked Ladder

Ranked Dominion rounds place you on a competitive ladder. Your rank is a tier and a division, and your progress inside a division is measured in Glory.

Tiers, divisions and Glory

The ladder has 6 tiers: Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond and Immortal. Each tier has 3 divisions, counted down from III to I: a new Gold player enters at Gold III and works up to Gold I.

Inside a division you collect Glory, from 0 to 100. Good finishes earn Glory and poor ones cost it. How much depends on your placement and on the strength of the lobby: results against stronger players count for more.

Placement and calibration

Your first 3 ranked rounds are placement rounds: your rank stays hidden and no Glory moves. Afterwards your starting rank is revealed, at most Gold.

Until you have played 10 ranked rounds you are calibrating: you climb faster, lose less, and cannot be visibly demoted.

Promotion and demotion

A full Glory bar promotes you to the next division, or to the next tier from division I. Part of any surplus Glory carries over. The way down is padded:

  • Glory floor: a loss with Glory above 0 first drops you to 0 instead of demoting you.
  • Soft landing: after a demotion you start the lower division with 75 Glory, not 0.
  • Tier shields: reaching a new tier gives 2 shields; each one absorbs a loss that would drop you out of the tier.

Glory cannot be farmed in lobbies full of bots: a dominant win over a much weaker lobby can give no Glory at all, and rounds with many bots count for less than rounds against players.

Rewards

Every ranked round pays into your Ove account:

  • Wild Essence by placement, from 5'000 for last place up to 20'000 for the win (less in lobbies with many bots).
  • 10'000 extra Wild Essence for your first ranked round of the day.
  • 1 Divine Stone and 1 Light Essence for the winner.
  • An artifact for places 1 to 3 (1. Random-type artifact (Grade 5, 1 days); 2. Random-type artifact (Grade 4, 1 days); 3. Random-type artifact (Grade 3, 1 days)).

Reaching a tier for the first time pays 5'000 Wild Essence per tier level, once. At the end of every month you played, your tier pays out again:

Immortal150'000Random-type artifact (Grade 7, 7 days)
Diamond100'000Random-type artifact (Grade 6, 7 days)
Platinum60'000Random-type artifact (Grade 5, 7 days)
Gold35'000Random-type artifact (Grade 4, 7 days)
Silver20'000—
Bronze10'000—

Reward artifacts roll their type when you receive them: mining, recruiting, luck or harvesting. Your rank only sets the grade, strength and duration.

Rank and ranking points

Your Dominion rank measures competitive skill. It has nothing to do with ranking points, which measure activity in Ove.
