Asynchronous fights against other masters' parties, not a shared live dungeon.

Rankings and Seasons

Origin Studio’s launch package for 14 September 2026 at 08:00 UTC includes a Hall of Battle, plus ranking and season systems that record best runs across several categories. A studio short even jokes about becoming a legendary ranker who stays in the game forever. This page is what those words mean in a single-player guild sim, what they do not mean, and how they sit next to Hidden Swamp. Pair it with combat for party setup and the launch notes for the clock.

You still play alone in the village. Hall of Battle lets you pit a trained party against parties raised by other guild masters. That is asynchronous competition. You are not queuing a live raid with a Discord friend. Difficulty still matters: Beginner copy says you will not enter the speedrun board, only PvP and gold rankings; Conqueror records clear time. Those rules lock at new game on character creation.

Hall of Battle

Think of it as a mailbox fight. You build a three-person (or larger) party at home, set potions when Party Strategy exists, and send that snapshot against someone else’s snapshot. Gear, levels, and mood are the ones you trained in your village, not a rented meta team. If your healer is in the Tavern repairing mood, they are not in the hall.

The public demo does not include the hall. CBT2 and launch posts do. If the button is missing before 14 September, you are on the demo slice. See demo notes.

Seasons and boards

Launch copy mentions ranking and season systems across a variety of categories. Proven categories from difficulty text include:

  • Speedrun / clear-time boards (Conqueror; Beginner is excluded).
  • PvP ranking from Hall of Battle results.
  • Gold ranking.

Studio shorts talk about leaving a legendary name in the world. Treat that as flavor for the board, not a promise that a demo character migrates. Demo saves do not carry over. A rank you farm on 12 September is a screenshot.

Early Access is expected to last at least a year, with more dungeons, items, and endings still on the roadmap. Seasons will move. This wiki will not publish a fake ladder with invented cutoffs.

What to train before you care about a board

  1. A tank, healer, and damage seat who can clear Hidden Swamp. The party planner is enough.
  2. Locked potions and a lab so Hall of Battle is not a dry-bar fight. See items and economy.
  3. Mood that is not red. The Tavern is the launch lever.
  4. A second save slot in 1.0 if you want a Conqueror speed file and an Adventurer village file. Five slots ship with the full client.

Class balance is still moving. Demo V5 already retuned Warrior Rage haste stacks and Hunter Rapid Fire. Rankings on the class list are labeled wiki opinion for that reason. Do not reroll a tank the night before launch because a short said canon characters matter. Canon is a studio joke; your swamp still wants a shield.

If you only remember one sentence: Hall of Battle is a scoreboard for parties you already trained, and seasons are calendars for those scoreboards. They do not replace the village. They do not open a live dungeon. Confirm they exist on 14 September 2026, then send a party you would actually trust in Hidden Swamp.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers for new guild masters.

Is Hall of Battle live PvP?

No. You send a trained party against another master's party asynchronously. Combat covers the home side.

Can Beginner characters sit on the speedrun board?

Difficulty text says no. Beginner still tracks PvP and gold ranks. Compare modes on character creation.

Does a demo rank transfer?

No. Demo saves do not carry into 1.0. The demo page repeats the close date.

When do seasons start?

With the 14 September 2026 full build, according to studio launch notes. The roadmap lists the bundle.

Should I wait to play Hidden Swamp until rankings go live?

No. Learn the cave now. Use getting started and send a three-person party.
