-Ladder Tiers:

Consisting of five levels—Bronze, Silver, Gold, Diamond, and Master—each tier is divided into three sub-tiers.

- Ladder Matchmaking Mechanism:

Matches are made based on the following priorities, from highest to lowest:

1. The smallest difference in player ranks

2. The smallest difference in the average card level between players

-Reward Distribution Mechanism:

① Distribution Time: Rewards are issued at 8:00 AM on the first day of each season.

② Reward Allocation: Rewards are distributed based on player ladder rankings.

First Batch: The 1st, 2nd, and 3rd ranked players receive 8%, 6%, and 5% of the ladder pool, respectively.

Second Batch: Players ranked 4th to 10th evenly split 11% of the ladder pool.

Third Batch: The remaining 70% of the ladder pool is distributed linearly among participants, with a deduction of 10% from the total number of ladder participants.

If a player fails to claim their ladder rewards from the previous season by the end of the current season, the rewards are directly credited to the player's account.

-Ladder Punishment Mechanism

①Fatigue State

Penalty Conditions: Cards that participated in the previous season's ladder

Penalty Effects: Eligible for the next season's ladder; one level downgrade; a chance to enter a Damaged State

Card Display: In the card info screen, the ladder status is displayed in yellow font for Fatigue State. Note: Normal state is displayed in green font.

Recovery Method: Players can remove the status by spending a certain amount of DIG in the card details screen; the process is as follows:

DIG Consumption Formula for Recovery: Recovery DIG cost = Number of cards needed to upgrade to the current level x * (300/6/Current price of DIG) (Example: For a card at level 3, x = 2, since upgrading from level 2 to 3 requires 2 cards)

②Damaged State

Penalty Conditions: Cards in Fatigue State have a chance to enter Damaged State upon being assessed for fatigue

Penalty Effects: Prohibited from participating in the next season's ladder; one level downgrade

Card Display: Card avatar is greyed out with visible damage effects; ladder status is displayed in red font for Damaged State.

Recovery Method: Players can recover by spending a certain amount of DIG in the card menu; the process is as follows:

DIG Consumption Formula for Recovery: Recovery DIG cost = Number of cards needed to upgrade to the current level x * (300/3/Current price of DIG) (Example: For a card at level 3, x = 2, as upgrading from level 2 to 3 requires 2 cards)

- Ladder Compensation Mechanism

Recovery from Fatigue State costs DIG, compensated with *60 Eco-Contribution Points per card needed for upgrade;

Recovery from Damaged State costs DIG, compensated with *120 Eco-Contribution Points per card needed for upgrade;

- Special Cases

For cards at level 1 participating in the ladder, the penalty effects are: Disqualification and no attribute downgrade.

Card Display: Same as the general Fatigue State.

DIG Consumption Formula for Recovery: Recovery DIG cost = 0.5 * (300/6/Current price of DIG)

Compensation Points = 0.5*60 Eco-Contribution Points
