Choosing your team

• You add players from your Fleet to your Galaxydome team.
  • To get players for Fleet, send friend requests.
  • Each accepted friend request will add one person to your Fleet.
• There are four positions on each team: Tank, Melee, Healer, and Ranged.
• You must occupy one of the four positions on your team.
• You do not have to fill the other three positions.

Calculating Team Power

• The power rating for each position is calculated as follows:
  • Tank - (Atk*0.3 + Def*1.0) * %Bonus = power def
  • Melee - (Atk*0.5 + Def*0.8) * %Bonus = power stam
  • Healer - (Atk*0.2 + Def*1.2) * %Bonus = power energy
  • Ranged - (Atk*0.8 + Def*0.5) * %Bonus = power attack
• Your power
  • The game adds your equipment and status, then applies the percentage modifiers listed above.
  • Example: you have 3000 attack + 600 attack from equipment, and you are in the Tank position
    • So: (3000 + 600) * 0.3 = 1080 attack power.
  • You receive no %Bonus.
  • You get 1 extra GD power for each 20 health you have. It is not recommended to increase health before reaching GD rank 41 or 44, as you can be attacked more frequently the more health you have.
  • Health Cost Table per level
• Your teammates' power
  • The total GD power is based on your own stats and gear, plus the power of the equipment worn by all your teammates.
  • Your teammates' stats do not affect directly your GD team power, but determine a % bonus to the gear they are wearing.
  • That % bonus vary from from 0% to 20%.
• The Power from fused items figures into all Galaxydome power calculations.

Choosing your opponent

• LotS places two limits on who you can fight in the Galaxydome Arena.
  • You may only fight people six ranks above you and six ranks below you.
    • Example: If you are rank 21, you will see people from rank 15-27.
  • The Galaxydome also groups players in 500 level blocks.
    • Example: If you are level 501-1000, you will only be able to fight other players that are between 501 and 1,000.
• Attacking stronger levels

Winning

• You earn between 1-13 base GP per Victory.
  • When you fight players of your own rank, you receive 7 GP per victory.
  • If you defeat someone ranked lower than you, subtract 1 GP for each rank lower.
  • If you defeat someone ranked higher than you, add 1 GP for each rank higher.
• Certain Galaxydome rank rewards give you a chance to earn extra GP.
  • The chance to earn extra points appears to be less than 5%.
  • Each chance to earn extra points increases the multiplier of extra GP earned, up to a max of 4x.
  • You earn multipliers at ranks 6, 23, and 39.
• You earn 1 Medal or (rarely) 1 Galaxydome Pass per fight.
• If you deplete an opponent's PvP health, the opponent will flee and your PvP kill count will increase by 1.
• You can not attack or be attacked when your health is below 10.

Losing

• You lose GP based on the rank difference between you and your opponent, although the numbers are unclear.
  • You lose this GP regardless of whether you attack and lose or whether someone else attacked and Defeated you.
• If you lose enough GP, you will go down a rank.
  • Your rank and GP cannot drop below a safety bar. Safety bars occur every four ranks (blue lines).
• If another player depletes all of your PvP health, your death count will increase by 1.

Ranking up

• All players start at rank 0
• When you achieve enough GP, you rank up automatically.
• Ranking up entitles you to the reward specific to that rank.
• If you purchased rewards at a specific rank and then lose your rank, you can no longer purchase the reward, but you can still use rewards you have already purchased.
• Galaxydome has a current hard cap of 100,000 GD points.
