  • When Galaxydome passes go on sale, the price is halved: 20 Galaxydome Passes for 3 GS
• All the extra GD passes can be saved up without time or number restriction.

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 latest game levels, as you can be attacked much more frequently.
• 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.
