Duel Modifiers & Formats
Duels in VvW support 4 formats (1v1, 2v2, 3v3, free-for-all) with 10 modifier options (no items, low-Initiative cap, banned skills, etc.). Custom matches let players set the rules; ranked enforces standard rules.
Format breakdown
1v1 Arena: standard ranked queue. 2v2: paired queue, MMR averaged. 3v3 Colosseum: organized teams. FFA: 4-8 players, last standing. FFA awards Honor based on placement, not rating.
Modifier options (custom only)
No-items, no-consumables, low-rating cap, banned-skills list (max 3), single-class-per-team, double-Init-cost-per-skill, double-cooldowns, friendly-fire-on, no-stealth, no-resurrect.
Ladder vs custom
Ranked: standard rules, MMR/rating affected. Custom: practice or stylized fights, no rating affected. Tournament organizers use custom + restrictions extensively.
