'''''PvP (Player vs. Player)''''' is a feature of Elsword that allows players to battle each other.
== Sparring ==
== Sparring ==
Sparring can be accessed by talking to [[Camilla]], the PvP NPC who appears in every town, and choosing the Sparring option. This will take you to the Sparring Lobby.<br>
[[File:SparringLobby.jpeg|thumb|Sparring Lobby]]
Matches in the Sparring Lobby have no effect on your Rank, Rank Points (RP), and neither award nor subtract Arena Points (AP). Consequently, you also cannot gain your rank from Sparring matches.<br>
Sparring is a PvP mode which allows you to spar against other players freely with custom settings across multiple match types. Matches that take place in sparring have no effect whatsoever on your PvP Rank, Rank Points (RP), or Arena Points (AP). You can access the sparring lobby by talking to [[Camilla]] in any town, and selecting the 'Sparring' option. Once you are in the lobby, you can select a room to enter or spectate, as well as create your own sparring room for others to join.
In the Sparring Lobby, you can either create or join a Sparring Room. Each room can have a maximum of 8 players in it at once, with up to 4 players on each team. When creating a room, there are several settings you can adjust to customize the fights in the room. <br><br>

== Match Type ==
=== Channel ===
''Team Match:'' A battle that gives each player one life. There must be the same amount of members on each team in order to start.<br>
There are three channels to choose from in the lobby: Practice, Free, and Competition. <br>
''Team Death Match:'' A battle that gives team points depending on the number of kills for each team. There can be an uneven amount of players on each team, but the team with less players will be granted a damage and MP buff.(Currently cannot start without equal teams).<br>
*''Practice Channel:'' As the name implies, a channel for practice. MP regeneration is much faster than usual in the Practice channel, and both kills and match time are infinite. Stat normalization '''DOES NOT''' occur in this channel.<br>
''Survival:'' A free-for-all. The player with the most kills in the battle wins. This mode favors the usage of large area-of-effect skills, such as [[Generate Black Hole]] and [[Wind Ward]].<br><br>
*''Free Channel:'' Functions closer to Arena PvP, but still suffers from the same stat normalization as the Practice Channel. More modes and options are available in Free Channel, such as being able to adjust kills and playtime, as well as access to the Team Match mode.<br>
*''Competition Channel:'' Under normal circumstances, this channel is closed. It is only opened for official tournaments run by the staff of the server, and can only be accessed by the GMs and participants of the tournament. Specifics of normalization in this channel are currently unknown. Note: During the NA Winter League Tournament, GM Skillz said in a forum post that the normalizations in the Competition Channel were equivalent to the ones in Sparring. Whether or not this is true is unconfirmed.<br>


== Item Rules ==
=== Match Type ===
''Item Mode:'' Allows random items to appear on the battlefield which can change the tide of the battle.<br>
*''Team Match:'' A battle that gives each player one life. There must be the same amount of members on each team in order to start. This mode does not exist in the Practice Channel.<br>
''Power Mode:'' Disables random items from appearing.<br>
*''Team Death Match:'' A battle that gives team points depending on the number of kills for each team. There can be an uneven amount of players on each team, but the team with less players will be granted a damage, awakening charge, and MP buff.<br>
NOTE: Survival rooms cannot be changed to Power Mode, they can only be created in Item Mode.
*''Survival:'' A free-for-all. The player with the most kills in the battle wins. This mode favors the usage of large area-of-effect skills, such as [[Generate Black Hole]] and [[Wind Wall]].
*''Winner Match:'' A tag-team like 1v1 mode where players are substituted with the next player on a given team when they die. Only available maps in this mode are Ash Covered Arena and Room of Greed.
*''[[Brawl Mode]]:'' A battle mode where various buffs, debuffs, and miscellaneous abilities are handed to players through items.
*''2 vs 2 PvP League:'' A 2 vs 2 team battle mode which adheres to the rules and settings of official tournament matches.

== Arena ==
== Arena ==
Arena PvP is, in a sense, the "official" PvP. Each match will have an effect on your server-wide ranking, as well as rewarding AP, a currency used to buy items from Camilla's PvP Shop. Winning a match will also reward RP, which is used to determine your ranking within whatever rank you currently hold. Be careful, as losing a match will also subtract RP! <br>

Arena can currently be accessed in two ways: Talking to Camilla and choosing Arena, or simply clicking the Arena tab when in a town or field. From there, you can choose either a one-on-one fight, or a three-versus-three fight. If you are in a party of two or three, you may only choose 3v3. <br>

== Rank ==
=== Rank ===
When you first create a character, they will have no rank. To obtain a PvP rank, you must participate in ten qualifier matches. After the end of your tenth match, you will be awarded your rank. The ranks, from lowest to highest, are E, D, C, B, A, S, SS, and SSS. If your character held a rank in Season 1's PvP, you can only receive a rank one higher than your Season 1 rank after your qualifiers for Season 2 (i.e., if you were an A rank in Season 1, the highest you can get in your qualifiers is S). Your rank determines many things, such as:<br>

To increase your rank, you must consistently win matches in Arena. Doing so will increase your AP Tier, an unspecified variable that can be determined by finding the amount of AP you receive from winning a 1v1 match. Upon reaching certain AP Tiers, you can rank up by winning a few matches at that tier. Conversely, you can rank down by consistently losing and dropping down AP Tiers. '''Take note that every time you switch ranks, be it up or down, your RP will be RESET to zero.'''<br>

Upon reaching certain AP Tiers, you can rank up by winning a few matches at that tier. Conversely, you can rank down by consistently losing and dropping down AP Tiers. <br>
 
In 2v2 and 3v3, AP tier can be calculated using the formulas below. <br>
 
n = (K + A) / 2 = (average of kills and assists) <br>
 
2v2 Win: (AP won) / (n + 3) <br>
2v2 Lose: (AP won) / (n + 0.75) <br>
 
3v3 Win: (AP won) / (n + 4) <br>
3v3 Lose: (AP won) / (n + 1) <br>
 
[[File:PvPUI.png|thumb|300px|You can also check the rank gauge which shows the current percentage of their rank.]]
'''Take note that disconnecting and/or leaving a match early does not negatively impact your AP tier. Rather, you will lose RP instead, which has NO bearing on your letter rank, and only becomes relevant at SSS for board placement.''' <br>
 
'''Also, every time you rank up, your RP will be RESET to zero. Ranking down will yield a little bit of RP.'''<br>

== Tips and Tricks ==
The current season's PvP gear can also be purchased from Camilla, see '''[[Duelist's Sparring Equipment]]''' for  more information. Buying these from Camilla is unnecessary though, as you acquire them during the '''[[Story/Other#.5BPvP.5D_Champion.27s_Condition.21|[PvP] Camilla's Training for a Champion! Equipment!]]''' story quest for free.
 
== Tips and Details ==


The Arena is a cut-throat competition that takes hours of practice and perseverance to master, but there are some basic tips that every character should follow:<br><br>
The Arena is a cut-throat competition that takes hours of practice and perseverance to master, but there are some basic tips that every character should follow:<br><br>


'''Establish good baseline stats before PvPing:''' The main stats that are vital to PvP are your three speeds, your critical, and your HP. Having a minimum of 20% in your speeds allows you to both move and attack at a brisk pace, staying one step ahead of your enemies. This is the most important thing you should work on with sockets, as low speeds will allow other players to easily catch you and even slip out of your combos. Having around 30% critical will greatly help your damage output, and stacking HP will increase your overall durability.<br><br>
*'''Establish good baseline stats before PvPing:''' The main stats that are vital to PvP are Action Speed, Movement Speed, Jump Speed, Critical, HP, Additional Damage, and Damage Reduction. Having a minimum of 20% in your speeds allows you to both move and attack at a brisk pace, staying one step ahead of your enemies. This is the most important thing you should work on with sockets, as low speeds will allow other players to easily catch you and even slip out of your combos. Having around some critical will greatly help your damage output, and stacking HP will increase your overall durability. Having a minimum of 30% reduced damage is almost as essential as HP and serves the same purpose. Additional Damage benefits multi-hit classes more than others.<br><br>
 
*'''Aim for "End-game" gear:''' Most of the higher-ranked players sport one of the so-called end-game gear sets, and you should aim to do the same. Which set you should use is dependent on your character and your own play style. The first, easy-to-get, yet crucial gear is [[Elrianode Equipment|Duelist's Sparring Equipment]] via Camilla’s Story Quest, as this gear is specialized for PvP gameplay since the equipment set effects won't be reduced to 40% unlike most of the gears. Harder-to-get but more powerful ones include Violet [[Amethystine Prophecy Equipment]], [[Flames of Judgement - Demonic Weapon]], [[Vestige of Soul - Weapon of Requiem]], and [[Submergence of Abyss - Phantom Weapon]]. Until you acquire this equipment, the [[Apocalypse Type - Void Weapon]] you get through between leveling to 99 is a nice alternative for beginners, as they are easy to socket and attribute.<br><br>
 
*'''Know your attributes:''' Attributing your weapon and armor can mean the difference between life and death. Certain characters and classes can utilize elements better than others, refer to the [[Attributing Equipment]] guide to see what some options are for your setup. Furthermore, remember to add resists smartly. All elements can be deadly if used correctly, so learn which ones you're most vulnerable to and attribute your armor to resist them.<br><br>
 
*'''Aim for a [[Accessory|Magic Necklace]] and an MP visor:''' While not necessary, a Magic Necklace can give you a serious leg-up in Arena. 30% extra MP from attacks both dealt and received adds up quickly, and lets you both break more often and dish out more damage with more Special Actives. Furthermore, an MP visor accessory (such as [[Accessory|Nasod Prototype Goggles]]) can be helpful to tell if your enemy can [[Mana Break]] or if you can expect them to use a skill in order to catch you.<br><br>


'''Aim for "End-game" gear:''' Most of the higher ranked players sport one of the so-called end-game gear sets, and you should aim to do the same. Which set you should use is dependent on your character and your own play style. Until you acquire these equips, the PvP gear you get through the story can be a nice alternative, as they are easy to socket and attribute.<br><br>
*'''[[Mana Break|Mana breaking]] is not a "noob" tactic, use it to your advantage:''' Contrary to what the ragers would have you believe, mana breaking is an incredibly useful technique that can save you from losing a match in one catch. There are plenty of players who know how to reset the knockdown counter and have no qualms about killing you in a single combo. Of course, there are some situations where it's better to simply take some hits, but when those are is something you can only learn through experience.<br><br>


'''Don't do 3v3 for your qualifying matches:''' 3v3 can be a fun, fast-paced battle mode as you advance in your Arena career, but don't try to dive right into it. A large element of 3v3 is luck, so you should stick to the more reliable and predictable 1v1 until you feel confident enough to attempt 3v3.<br><br>
*'''Hit And Run:''' Although this may seem like a noob tactic, this may come in handy when you're about to die in a match. It also might provoke your opponent to try a high-mp attack and they end up losing it all if you evade.<br><br>


'''Know your attributes:''' Attributing your weapon and armor can mean the difference between life and death. Certain characters and classes can utilize elements better than others, refer to the [[Elements]] guide to see what some options are for your setup. Furthermore, remember to add resists smartly. All elements can be deadly if used correctly, so learn which ones you're most vulnerable to and attribute your armor to resist them.<br><br>
*'''Awaken when necessary:''' The delay from awakening as well as the damage increase can quickly turn the tide in a match, allowing you to escape combos, catch opponents in combos, and power up your attacks. Don't be afraid to use it when your back is against the wall.<br><br>


'''Aim for a Magic Necklace:''' While not necessary, a Magic Necklace can give you a serious leg-up in Arena. 30% extra MP from attacks both dealt and received adds up quick, and lets you both break more often and dish out more damage with more Special Actives.<br><br>
*'''X Drop is incredibly useful''': The mid-air knockdown command for certain characters (normally known as X Drop) is useful for PvP gameplay. Since it reduces knockdown counters and could be the hit-confirm tool for continuing combo. (When an enemy gets launched and falls down to the ground while '''not''' in the knocked-down state, with good timing, there'd be a standby frame at the moment the character touches the ground where an enemy can take the opportunity to counter by surprise. X Drop doesn't allow this situation to happen.)<br><br>


'''Consider a B-Slot:''' Another unnecessary item, but it can be a nice tool to have. More skills available to use at once will increase your versatility and unpredictability.<br><br>
*'''Undying Flame can counter the resurrection effect''': One of the [[Eternal Flame Set]] accessories, [[Undying Flame]], can burn the enemy's HP within range in any situation, even when the freeze frame occurs. Making it a useful tool for countering the resurrection titles (for example, Eclipse and The Freed Shadow) and certain characters' resurrection passives where HP is '''gradually generated''' after being defeated. (for example, [[Apeiron]] and [[Flexible Movement]]). Note that this method doesn't work on certain characters' resurrection passives where HP is '''generated at a fixed amount''' after being defeated. (for example, [[Resurrection (Ara)|Resurrection]], [[Blood Mastery]], and [[Mystique and Awe]])
'''Mana breaking is not a "noob" tactic, use it to your advantage:''' Contrary to what the ragers would have you believe, mana breaking is an incredibly useful technique that can save you from losing a match in one catch. There are plenty of players who know how to reset the knockdown counter, and have no qualms about killing you in a single combo. Of course, there are some situations where it's better to simply take some hits, but when those are is something you can only learn through experience.

== Trivia ==
-Before the PvP revamp, all matches took place in the Sparring Arena.<br>
*There is a secret [[PVP Dark Forest|Dark Forest]] PvP map made for Developing Purposes. Information about this map is currently unknown. Can only be accessed through debug map-select.
-In Roman mythology, Camilla is a famed virgin warrior, which may have lead to the NPC [[Camilla]]'s name.<br>
*Before the PvP revamp (commonly known as Season 1 Arena), all matches took place in the Sparring Arena.
-Prior to the Season 2 revamp, 2v2 mode existed in Arena queuing. However, it was removed due to its unpopularity in Korea. Despite being much more popular in the North American server, it was also removed there due to coding conflicts.
**At this point, the ranks only went from D to SS, and all players started at D.
**AP also didn't exist at this point. Instead, winning gave you VP (Victory Points). These were mainly used to buy items from Camilla, but her shop was much more limited than the Season 2 shop.
*In Season 1 Arena, all players started at F Rank, and had to work their way up to higher ranks. Anyone with a rank from pre-Season 1 got to keep their rank.
*Season 1 wiped all players' VP, and introduced AP. They were used to purchase Season 1 PvP gear from Camilla, and also for some items at the Accessory shops.
**Season 2 PvP introduced the concept of qualifier matches, wiped all players' current ranks and RP, and also removed F Rank and added SSS Rank.
**It also introduced a new damage table that heavily nerfed most skills over 120MP in Arena.
**Furthermore, most of the normalization that existed in Season 1 was removed, the most prominent being the restrictions on HP.
*Prior to the Season 2 revamp, 2v2 mode existed in Arena queuing. However, it was removed due to its unpopularity in Korea. Despite being much more popular in the North American and European server, it was also removed there due to coding conflicts.
**However in NA, 2v2 mode was reinstated after the July 15th, 2014 Patch (In EU after the July 30th, 2014 Patch).
*While entering Sparring for the first time, the music track will not change, carrying whatever track was playing when you entered the sparring room. However, once you've entered a match and exit back into the Sparring menu, the game will begin to play [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8FlmAdvGrmI '''''lobby'''''].
*There's a 60% global damage modifier on all projectiles.
