Olympiad progress

During the Olympiad you must sign up for participation in the Olympiad.

During the Olympics, a special icon is displayed to the left of the minimap with a countdown of the remaining time. When clicked, the Olympiad window opens.

When a character is teleported to arena:

All buffs and debuffs casted before are removed and when countdown reaches 50 seconds remaining for the match to start after teleportation НР, МР and СР are fully restored.

Cubics and Summons are released when moving to the arena.

The timer for second usage of Skills (which could be re-used in less than 15 minutes) is reset.

If during the battle one of the opponents leaves the game, the second opponent wins.

If during the battle the server is reset, the battle is cancelled, the participants will not lose any points and the battle will not be counted.

The chat is unavailable to the participants; they can't receive/send private messages.

Any battle lasts for 6 minutes (it stops when one of the characters is dead). If by the end of the battle both opponents are alive, the winner is the character which has inflicted more damage during the battle.

Battle result

The reward consists of Olympiad points. The points go from the loser to the winner. The more points a character has, the more points he can lose. Once the battle is over, you can check the damage received by the participants.

You can see the total damage received in the corresponding column in the line related to your character.

Rewards for the Olympiad

There are 2 main rewards in the Olympiad. The first one is the Hero status for the next 14 days after the cycle ends; the second one is Marks of Battle.

Marks of Battle can be obtained in exchange for points. The points are awarded for each victory (once the battle is over), and for character’s place in total ranking (when the whole Olympic cycle is over). To get a reward, your character needs to participate in at least 10 Battles during the cycle (1 victory is mandatory).

Olympiad points

In each battle a character either receives points or loses them, depending on the result. The points go from the loser to the winner, the amount of points depends on how many points the opponents have at the moment, but not less than 1 and not more than 10.

1/5 of the minimal amount of points for both is transferred (rounded up) but not more than 10 points.

Marks of Battle

The character who's got the Hero status, gets additional 75 points ( Mark of Battle — 3000 pcs.)

The bonus of 10 points is given to every player for 10 Battles and 1 victory ( Mark of Battle — 100 pcs).

When the Olympiad is over, each participant gets a place in total ranking depending on how many points they have. All the participants are divided into categories. There's one ranking for all classes and another ranking for each class, so if you're a Hero of your class it doesn't mean you're in top 1% of the general ranking.

Rank	Place	Amount of Marks of Battle given
1	Top 1%	50 Points Mark of Battle - 2000 pcs.
2	Top 10%	80 Points Mark of Battle - 800 pcs.
3	Top 25%	12 Points Mark of Battle - 500 pcs.
4	Top 50%	7 Points Mark of Battle - 300 pcs.
5	Below 50%	4 Points Mark of Battle - 150 pcs.

The total amount of Marks of Battle is given based on the sum of your rewards for your place in total ranking, Hero status and 10 battles with 1 victory. Max. possible reward is 5100 Marks of Battle (if a Hero gets into 1% of the total rating).
