Colosseum (also called Team Battle or 5v5) is a battle feature added in November 2018. It comes back periodically in the form of seasons.
By participating, you earn Honor Points that you can trade in for certain rewards.
The battle format is 5v5 and works similarly to 10v10 battles; however it is a lot more fast-paced as you have a lot more tokens at your disposal. There are 2 battle time brackets each day: 10:00-13:00 PST & 20:00-23:00 PST.
You can access the Colosseum by clicking "Colosseum" (Facebook - web3) in the Battle tab.
There are 5 tabs on the Colosseum page:
- Home, where you can register for battle.
- Record, where you can see your current tier and your Battles history (last 10 matches).
- Leaderboard, where you can see your current rank and the 50 top players.
- Award, where you can see the end-of-season rewards.
- Shop, where you can buy certain items with Honor Points and check your purchase history.
Currently there has been 6 Colosseum seasons.

Honor Points[]
Honor Points are a currency you can earn exclusively by participating in the Colosseum, which can be used to purchase a variety of items in the Colosseum Shop.
There is a maximum amount of Honor Points you can earn every week depending on your rank (cf. table in In-game Information above). At the beginning of a new week, your weekly Honor Points counter is reset to zero and you can start earning Honor Points again. Your Honor Points total is not affected by this reset in any way; you can see your accumulated amount under the Shop tab, which will only decrease if you buy items from the Colosseum Shop.
Unused Honor Points during a season should carry over to the next season (that was the case between the three first seasons). Furthermore, you should still be able to buy items from the Shop between seasons, even after the Colosseum banner disappears from the Home page.
Here are several details about the weekly limit and earning mechanics:
- The weekly Honor Points counter resets every Monday before the first session of the day.
- If you go up a rank during the week, your weekly Honor Points limit will go up and you will be able to earn more Honor Points accordingly (whether you had already reached your maximum amount of Honor Points for the week or not).
- Your weekly Honor Points limit is determined by the highest achieved rank that week. If you drop down a rank during the week, the counter limit won't change until the next week. You never lose accumulated Honor Points.
- Your weekly Honor Points limit for a new week is determined by the rank you're at at the start of this new week.
- Individual participation in a match doesn't matter for the rewards. Even if one player does everything and the other 4 do nothing, everyone in the squad will get the same amount of Honor Points and earn/lose a star.
- Within a rank (for any rank), and starting with 0 Honor Point, it takes 24 victories or 40 defeats (or 15 victories and 15 defeats) to reach the weekly Honor Points limit.
Starting the Battle[]
When the event starts, you have 2 options to participate: Single or Team. "Single" will automatically find 4 teammates and 5 opponents and then start the match. "Team" will allow you to invite players from your army and require the team captain to Match the team to start the match.
Matches will last a maximum of 20 minutes or until one side is killed.
Once a player or team is "matching", there is no set time for the battle to start. Once the match is found and the battle has started, a pop-up should appear indicating it. You can also keep refreshing the page by hitting the Colosseum "Home" button, which will immediately bring you into battle if one has started.
You can be inactive during the whole duration of a battle; you will still earn Honor Points (and stars on wins). However of course you will put your team at a disadvantage.
Playing as a Single[]
Simply click on the "Single" button and wait until a match is created.
Teams made up of Single players are immediately disbanded after a match. This was a change implemented shortly after Colosseum was started, and resolved issues related to team leaders not starting the next battle leading to players leaving the team, which could not be repalced (one player leaving meant the whole team had to leave and click "Single" again).
Playing as a Team[]
You can click on "Team" up to 10 minutes before the Colosseum start time to start inviting players to form a squad.
Only the team leader (whoever starts the team) can click the Match button.
The team has to have 5 members before you can click "Match". The Match button can be pressed anytime during a Colosseum session. It is possible to match after the end of the session provided the match button was pressed during the event time slot, and provided there is another team to match to.
The team leader can invite any number of players from their army to join. The first 4 players to join make the team. Anyone that has joined the team in turn can invite other players, again until the team has a total of five players at which point the team is full.
Players invited to a team will receive the invitation (Group Invite!) in the "Allies" section on the Home page, where you also receive gifts and army invites (web3) or in the social section/messages on the iOS app.
After a match is over, another match can be started right away by the team leader.
If the leader leaves the squad after a battle, the entire squad is disbanded.
Players may choose to leave the squad, but must do so before the Match button is hit. Openings in the squad can be filled by inviting other players until a total of 5 players are on the team.
The players on a team do not need to play, however the captain is needed to hit the match button for the next battle.
The Matching Process[]
The help section in-game states: "We will arrange similar-tier opponents for you".
Ranks seem to be the only factor taken into account. The player level for instance doesn't seem to be taken into account at all, a level 1 could face a level 2000.
The highest you go in the ranks, the longest in takes to find matches. At the highest ranks, there weren't many players and most of them played exclusively in Teams and as a Single you could have not found a match during a full 3-hour session or more.
If ever you are not matched by the end of a session the matchmaking will eventually be cancelled and you will be able to click Single or Team again at the beginning of the next session.
When playing as a Team, the matchmaking depends on the player with the highest rank in the team.
Seasons 1 and 2[]
In seasons 1 and 2, what was taken into account was the number of stars separating players: from what we could observe, players more than 15 stars apart would not be matched together (see the Ranks section). This meant that for instance, players in Platinum V could not be matched with players in Platinum I. In Gladiator, the matchmaking would have to find 10 players within the same 15-star range to create a match.
When playing as a Team: for two teams to face each other the highest players from both teams had to be at a maximum of 15 stars apart.
Season 3[]
In season 3, from what we could observe each rank could only be matched against the same rank plus one below and one above. For instance, a player in Bronze could only match against players in Bronze or in Silver; a player in Diamond could only be matched against Diamond, Platinum or Gladiator players. Furthermore, it appeared that the matchmaking would first try to find players of your own rank and only fetch players of the rank below or above if it didn't find any of your own rank. When playing as a Team, the highest players on both teams simply have to be of the same rank, or one below or above.
Ranks[]
There are 6 ranks: Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond and Gladiator.
Everyone starts at Bronze III.
There are 3 tiers in Bronze and Silver ranks, 4 tiers in Gold, and 5 tiers in Platinum and Diamond.
The Gladiator rank has no tiers, and instead shows the total number of stars you have accumulated after you've reached the Gladiator rank. For instance: Gladiator x 36
The amount of stars decreases if you lose matches, and increases if you win.
To move up a tier, you need to earn stars.
In order to go up a tier, you need 3 stars in Bronze and Silver ranks, 4 stars in Gold, and 5 stars in Platinum and Diamond.
You also win more or less Honor Points when you win or lose a match depending on which rank you're currently at. Tiers within a rank have no influence on this.
It should be noted that it's possible to drop down a tier or even a rank.
- There are several star inconsistencies. You go from Silver I with 3 stars to Gold IV with 1 star (regular ranking behavior); however if you then directly lose a match, you'll remain in Gold IV with 0 stars. If you lose again the next match, you'll go back to Silver I with 2 stars only.
All ranks and tiers in ascending order: Bronze III, Bronze II, Bronze I, Silver III, Silver II, Silver I, Gold IV, Gold III, Gold II, Gold I, Platinum V**, Platinum IV, Platinum III, Platinum II, Platinum I, Diamond V**, Diamond IV, Diamond III, Diamond II, Diamond I, Gladiator.
**There is currently a display bug on the web version of the game: Platinum V and Diamond V are displayed as Platinum VI and Diamond VI. You do however directly go to Platinum/Diamond IV when ranking up from Platinum/Diamond VI. Same when you drop from IV, you go to VI.
Seasons differences[]
Seasons 1 and 2
For every match won you earn one star, and for every match lost you lose one.
In Bronze and Silver, it's not possible to drop down a tier, or even to lose a star. Only when reaching Gold IV you can then lose stars and even drop back to Silver I.
Season 3
This season sees the introduction of Colosseum points. You need 100 Colosseum Points to earn a star. For every match won you earn 10 Colosseum Points, which means that compared to previous seasons you need 10 times more wins to get one star.
Most of the time when losing a match you also lose 10 Colosseum Points. However when reaching Gold rank and in all higher ranks, if you're exactly at 0 Colosseum Points (for instance if you just earned a star with your previous match) when you lose a match, you will lose 50 Colosseum Points at once and thus drop down a star. For instance if you are at Gold III 2 stars 0 Points and lose, you will drop to Gold III 1 star 50 Points.
Additionaly there were bugs where you could lose 60 Points at once or even 1 star and 50 Points (amounting to 150 Points).
In Bronze and Silver you still can't lose stars once you've earned them, but you can lose Colosseum Points at any time. Furthermore, you can drop from Gold IV back to Silver I.

Season 2 Season Rewards[]
With Colosseum Season 2 were introduced end-of-season rewards, which can be seen under the "Award" tab.
These rewards are based on the highest rank you achieved during the season and are not cumulative. Players in the top 10, top 50 and top 100 at the end of the season also earn extra rewards.
Highest Rank | Rewards |
---|---|
Gladiator |
Honor Points × 30000 Trundle × 1 Flaming Greataxe × 1 Savage Battle Armor × 1 Primal Pendant × 1 |
Diamond |
Honor Points × 25000 Flaming Greataxe × 1 Savage Battle Armor × 1 Primal Pendant × 1 |

Extra Rewards | |
Top 1-10 | Trundle × 3 |
Top 11-50 | Trundle × 2 |
Top 51-100 | Trundle × 1 |
The rewards were sent out 48 hours after the season concluded.
Season 2 Leaderboard[]
For two months, the maximum number of stars one could have in Gladiator was 999. It was probably the same during the first season, although no one reached it.
The reason was probably that the developers didn't think the players would reach those amounts of stars; however several players reached it in about 10 days, on July 6th.
On August 26, 2019, one month before the end of Colosseum II, the 999-star cap was increased to an unknown number (source).
At the end of the season, the top player of Colosseum had 6,486 stars. Actually, the first 6 players on the Leaderboard had 6,486 stars, so the rank 1 player was the one with the highest level (level is what is used to decide the rank among players with an equal number of stars).
The rank 10 player had 5,257 stars, and the rank 50 player had 2,330 stars.
At the end of the season, there were at least 1,903 players in the Gladiator rank (someone was rank 1,903 at Gladiator 1 star).
There was an easy way to "abuse" the matchmaking system in order to reach the Gladiator rank and earn stars extremely quickly, which many players used, and which explains how many players earned thousands of stars. It was involving the "Team" option. On the other hand, playing as "Single" in the Diamond and Gladiator ranks was very difficult, as finding a match could take up to several hours, and could sometimes result in searching for a match for entire 3-hour sessions without finding one.
Colosseum III[]
Colosseum Season 3 started on January 7, 2020 and ended on April 8, 2020. It lasted 91 days (13 weeks).
Season 3 rules change[]
【Battle】5v5 Battle is similar to 10v10. You have 10 tokens when you enter the battle and the amount restores by 1 every 1 minute. The maximum time of each battle is 20 minutes.
In previous seasons you started with 20 tokens and every 2 minutes 10 tokens were restored at once. This time, much less tokens are available over the duration of a battle overall. Consequently, many battles last much longer.
【Reward】You will earn 10 Colosseum points when you win, and lose 10 Colosseum points when you fail. Every time you gain 100 Colosseum points, they will be converted into 1 star, conversely you will lose 1 star when your Colosseum points fall below 0. After winning 50 battles, Colosseum points you gained will be reduced.
This season sees the introduction of Colosseum points.
In previous seasons, 1 win awarded you 1 star. This time you need 10 times more wins to get 1 star, and even more after the initial 50 wins. It is much harder to climb ranks.
For more information, see The Matching Process and the Ranks sections.
Season 3 Shop[]
The Shop is identical to the Season 2 Shop. There are no new items.
Season 3 Season Rewards[]
These end-of-season rewards are based on the highest rank you achieved during the season and are not cumulative. Players in the top 10, top 50 and top 100 at the end of the season also earn extra rewards.
Highest Rank | Rewards |
---|---|
Gladiator |
Honor Points × 30000 Groot × 1 Ancestor Power × 1 Shadow Cloak × 1 Blizzard Boots × 1 |
Diamond |
Honor Points × 25000 Ancestor Power × 1 Shadow Cloak × 1 Blizzard Boots × 1 |
Platinum |
Honor Points × 20000 Shadow Cloak × 1 Blizzard Boots × 1 |
Gold |

Honor Points × 5000 |
Extra Rewards | |
Top 1-10 | Groot × 3 |
Top 11-50 | Groot × 2 |
Top 51-100 | Groot × 1 |
The rewards were sent out 48 hours after the season's announced end time. Which was itself 9 hours after the end of the last Colosseum session, so the wait time was actually 57 hours.
Season 3 Leaderboard[]
Obtaining stars during this season took at the very least 10 times longer than in previous seasons.
Stars were capped at 999 again.
At the end of the season, the top 5 players on the Leaderboard had 999 stars. The rank 10 player had 652 stars, the rank 25 player had 130 stars, and the rank 50 player had 77 stars.
Although it was still possible to abuse the matchmaking by using the Team option, it was much less reliable than in the previous season due to the matchmaking system change.
It was much harder for everyone to climb ranks.
Here are the estimated numbers for each rank at the end of the season (those are not official and not 100% accurate):
- 16,000 players entered Colosseum III (100%)
- 14,000 ended in Bronze (87.50%)
- 1,235 in Silver (7.72%)
- 500 in Gold (3.13%)
- 83 in Platinum (0.52%)
- 36 in Diamond (0.23%)
- 146 in Gladiator (0.91%)
Which means that only 12.5% of players ended in Silver or above, 4.78% in Gold or above, and 1.65% in Platinum or above.
In comparison, during the previous season almost 2,000 players reached Gladiator (although many ended up there by abusing the matchmaking system).
Colosseum IV[]
Colosseum Season 4 started on June 11, 2020 and ended on Sept. 10, 2020. It lasted 91 days (13 weeks).
Season 4 rules change[]
【Matchmaking】You can choose Random Team or Set Team to search for other players. We will arrange similar-tier opponents for you. The search will stop if no opponent has been found for 10 minutes.
"Single" has been renamed "Random Team" and "Team" has been renamed "Set Team", but it hasn't actually changed anything; it appears Random Teams still only match against other Random Teams and Set Teams against other Set Teams.
If you stay in queue for too long, the search will stop and you will be able to click "Random Team" or "Set Team" again.
【Battle】5v5 battle is similar to 10v10. You have 10 tokens when you enter the battle and the amount restores by 5 every 2 minute. The maximum time of each battle is 20 minutes.
As in last season you start a match with 10 tokens, but you get 5 back every 2 minutes instead of just 1 every 1 minute. So overall you will have a lot more tokens available during a match (55 maximum).
【Anti-botting】If a player hasn't spent any tokens during a battle, they won't get Honor points and Colosseum points upon victory, but will lose Colosseum points upon defeat.
Now completely inactive players won't earn anything after a match. However it's possible to just drop 1 token, become inactive, and get credit for the match.
Unannounced changes & other things:
- It appears the matchmaking system hasn't changed.
- It still takes a very long time to rank up (still 100 Colosseum Points (CPs) required for 1 star).
- Bronze and Silver are now completely "protected": you can't lose ranks, stars, or even CPs in those ranks. You can't even drop back to Silver once you've reached Gold.
- You can still lose 50 or even 60 Points at once on a loss in Gold and above.
- After winning 50 matches during a single Colosseum session, you'll start earning only 3 CPs per win instead of 10 for the remainder of the session. After 100 wins, you stop earning CPs altogether. So you can earn a max of 650 CPs per session, which translates to 6.5 stars (500 CPs from the first 50 wins, 150 from another 50 wins after that). These limitations don't affect the vast majority of the playerbase however; they just limit the speed at which the "top players" can climb the ranks.

Season 4 Leaderboard[]
At the end of the season, the top player of Colosseum had 803 stars. The rank 10 player had 214 stars, and the rank 50 player had 72 stars.
Note: a few days before the end of the season, four players were removed from the Colosseum Leaderboard for cheating and banned for a few days (source). They were in the top 11. They still got the rewards for reaching the Gladiator rank however.
This season was very similar to season 3, except that more tokens were available, and Bronze and Silver ranks were completely "protected" against the loss of Points which meant that anyone could reach Gold eventually just by playing a lot. Getting out of Gold however was still incredibly hard.
Here are the estimated numbers for each rank at the end of the season (those are not official and not 100% accurate):
- 15,100+ players entered Colosseum IV (~100%)
- ~10,000 ended with Bronze as their highest rank of the season (~66.23%)
- ~1,650 with Silver (~10.93%)
- ~3,100 with Gold (~20.53%)
- 134 with Platinum (~0.89%)
- 41 with Diamond (~0.27%)
- 230 with Gladiator (~1.52%)
Which means only about 2.68% of the players reached Platinum or higher.

Observations, Strategy & Known issues[]
Matchmaking details[]
Strategy/Details - Click to display |
---|
It appears that the matching process runs every minute, collecting the list of teams to match between the :00 and :01 second mark and matching them in the :02 through :09 second mark depending on the number of teams available, provide the team is in the queue to match before the :00 second mark. As a strategy if are very fast, and can kill your opponent in the roughly 50 seconds between the time you match and the :00 mark you will match again very fast in the next 10 seconds. If you can't kill your opponents within the timing minute, your next battle can take anywhere from 3 seconds to about a minute to match in normal circumstances. It does appear that teams match in a modified FIFO process provided the teams actually meet the matching criteria. If you are putting two teams in we have seen a high probability of a cross match with another 2 teams entering at roughly the same time, though this does not necessarily conflict with the FIFO theory. It is possible that there is a limit to how many can be matched in the 10 second window where it collects and matches teams, if there is such a limit then teams that don't get collected in that period would wait another minute to match. It is also possible that there is a team or a set of players that aren't really ready to match because the team of singles is not complete or some other reason that delay is not part of this point. If you are cross matching with a bigger team, consider not hitting the button until "after" they are matched, which is most likely between the 10-15 second mark. If they make the window of the last match you will be clear at that time since they can't. |

Campaign tasks and Colosseum[]
All Guild Battle related Campaign tasks can be achieved through the Colosseum (except earning Guild Coins):
- Damage Players to 0 HP in Guild Combat!
- Use Heal!
- Evade Attack!
- Achieve Polymorph Victory!
- Achieve Whirlwind Victory!
The Colosseum is a very effective way of completing these tasks.
Furthermore, since season 5, Hero and Evolution Crystals purchased from the Colosseum Shop count towards the related Campaign tasks completion.
Notes[]
- The battle times are PST. They usually correspond to UTC-8 in winter and UTC-7 is summer.
- Up until season 5, not a single aspect of the Colosseum required the use of FP.
- The guild bonuses to Health and Damage (which can go up to 5.75% and are obtained from passing level thresholds in Health and Damage storage in the Trade Market) are not taken into account in Colosseum matches.
History[]
- The Colosseum was first announced on Oct. 31, 2018 through a News Headline in-game: World Monster Suspension Notice - The World Monster event will be suspended indefinitely as of Nov 1st 2018. The brand new Team Battle feature is coming soon.
- Colosseum was first called Team Battle, and 3 weeks before its release, the World Monster was suspended.
- The Colosseum was first unveiled on Nov. 20, 2018. It was announced as being in beta. The first Colosseum battle happened the same day at 10 a.m. PST.
- At first, the Colosseum looked like a permanent or at least semi-permanent feature, as it was presented on the Home page in the same way as the World Monster. However in May 2019 it was anounced that Colosseum "Season 1" would end and that there would be a new season in the future.
- With Colosseum Season 2, Season Rewards were introduced and a new " Award" tab was added, as well as a 【Season Reward】 line in the in-game information.
