GAME FORMAT
Each game consists of a four player tournament that lasts until only one player remains. Each game is scored.
MODES
There are four game modes. Grind Mode where your score converts to in-game currency (Shark Points). Contender Mode where your score converts into XP. The seasonal Competition Mode which you need to unlock and Event Mode where you compete in various special, stand-alone events.
CONTENDERS
Before each game you select a Contender. Each has a unique set of skills. Depending on Mode and Level you either get to add additional abilities yourself or select from pre-generated builds called Contender Cards.
LEVEL UP
Each Contender can be leveled with XP. Each level comes with it’s own set of rewards. When you reach a Contender’s final level you unlock competitive play in the form of Ranking and leaderboards.
COMPETE
Once you have earned the right to play competitively with a Contender you can rise up the ranks and qualify for special events like the monthly Hands of Victory final.
