Revision 1

Overview

Friendly Duel (友谊对决) is the casual PvP mode in Roco Kingdom: World. It is unranked, does not affect the player's Shining Contest rank, and is the primary way to scrim new compositions with friends before queueing ranked.

Access

• The Friendly Duel entry sits alongside Shining Contest in the PvP menu. An Enter Ranked checkbox on the same screen toggles between Friendly Duel and ranked queues.

• No minimum rank or magic level beyond the standard PvP unlock gate is required.

• Players can invite a specific friend for a direct scrim or queue into public matchmaking.

Rules and Matchmaking

• Standard 3v3 spirit rotation with morale points carried over between turns.

• Matchmaking prioritizes similar team archetypes. Pollution Bloodline and Strange Bloodline lineups tend to match against similar-archetype teams.

• Long winning or losing streaks can widen matchmaking and cross-match into different archetypes to keep queue times reasonable.

Rewards

• Payouts scale with spirit usage (shiny, nightmare, bloodline variants) and match performance (medals earned, turns played).

• Win and loss both contribute to daily reward progress, but wins carry a higher Roco Shell multiplier.

• Friendly Duel does not feed into the Light-Collecting Token Shop. For token payouts, play Shining Contest ranked.

April 9, 2026 Patch: Rematch Cap Fix

Before the April 9 patch, direct scrims against a friend bypassed the daily rematch cap that applied to public matches. The patch closed this loophole: both friend and public rematches now share a unified daily cap, preventing unlimited token grinding. The exact daily cap number is displayed in the Friendly Duel entry screen after the fix.
