PVP - Gauntlet/Crucible Guide | Silver and Blood

PVP for Silver and Blood is both a fun and challenging content.

There are primarily 2 types of PVP activity (Gauntlet and Crucible).

Each season lasts around 12 days. Rewards around 120-180 tokens (Marks of Bravery) depending on rank difference of battle per battle. End of day receive a token award based on rank, usually around 1,000 tokens.
Number of free attempts per day is based on your account's Honor level, which can be found in castle section. New players start with 3 attempts per day and end game accounts have 5 as of sept-2025. more attempts can be bought with MoonTear blood at increasing more expensive cost - see https://youtu.be/myr8E4wlPgc for cost of each additional ticket. Max of 10 extra tickets can be bought per day.
Clive (wolf vassal) is unlocked from Playing Guantlet, and copies of Clive unlocked at 3 wins and 6 wins respectively.
Winning against players of higher rank provide more tokens and rating, lower ranks provide less. There is an achievement for number of wins in gauntlet, so you should always strive to pick fights you can win.
There is a edit defense team screen, where you setup the team that other players would attack when they choose you. the defense and attack teams do not have to be the same
Battle against other players has a pre-battle screen and a battle screen. Battles cannot be "quick-battle" as of sept-2025, but feature maybe coming soon.
Exiting anytime before pressing "start" or "quick-battle" does not consume tickets.

Each season lasts around 12 days. Rewards passive tokens (Marks of Bravery) depending on rank, and 1 big token reward at end of season.
Number of free attempts per day is always 2, more attempts can be bought with 100 MoonTear blood for cost of each additional ticket, does not increase. Max of 10 extra tickets can be bought per day.
There are now 3 defense team setups which you can edit - again, defense team does not have to be same as attack team
Winning against players of higher rank displaces the losing player from that rank and puts the winner there, in other words, the 2 players "swaps" rank positions.
On top of marks of bravery which is the same as as gauntlet reward used to buy pavana and skill lvl up orbs, there is also an etched keystone token reward. This keystone does not show up in your inventory, and is used to calculate final rank at end of season.
1. This means your rank at end of season does NOT determine your final rank and rewards! The amount of keystones you collect determines your rank. So If you don't collect them every 24 hours, your rank may differ.

Battle against other players has a pre-battle screen and a battle screen. Battles does have be "quick-battle" feature. Leaving anytime before clicking "start battle" does not consume tickets.

Marks of Bravery are used to unlock and buy copies of Pavana, a sleep focused vassal. Marks are also used to buy skill level up orbs.
Tier List and Strategies
1. This section will change as pvp meta change.
2. As of Oct-2025,
  1. The strongest dps is Timeless Aiona
  2. The strongest support is Fleeting Bella
  3. The strongest tank is Quinn
  4. The strongest CC is Lorelei
  5. The strongest Assassin is Stella
  6. The strongest artifact is chronometer at level 5 - this gives 1 bloodsoul per summon
  7. The strongest team composition is T.Aiona + Bella (summon) + S.Gilrain (summon) + Clive.Jr (summon) + flex
    1. The flex is either Quinn, F.Bella or Stella
    2. This team gives you 3 bloodsoul instantly, and after 1 more second, T.Aiona will ult and kill entire enemy team.
    3. Only way to counter this team is to kill T.Aiona with Stella if T.Aiona on defense is positioned badly, or invest in same team with higher stats and copies
