The Duels system is the Crypto Raiders PvP mode where players can fight their friends and foes in the arena and compete for $AURUM in tournaments and seasons.

The system provides players immediate access to testing builds and earning $AURUM rewards for the top placers in Duels Tournaments.

## **Tournaments**

With several formats cycled throughout the week and month, Duels Tournaments occur daily and allow for all varieties of players to compete for $AURUM prizes.

Normal Duels - Top-tier Raiders show off their best and rarest gear in these single-elimination tournaments, earning points throughout the month to compete in a monthly invitational tournament with an even bigger prize pool.

Limited Duels - Raiders are limited to a maximum level, maximum gear rarity, or both in these Duels, allowing even the newest of players to compete.

Endless Dungeon Runs - Earning points for each MOB they kill weighted by its strength, players see how far they can go and see who can earn the most points.

Power Leveling - Participants start with a Raider with 0 XP and a fixed number of keys, grinding for gear until the ultimate showdown at the end.

Guild vs. Guild - Guildmates gather in teams of four to compete in various Duels formats to see which Guild rises to the top.
