■ WEEKEND-ONLY REAL-TIME PVP: MANDATE BATTLE

MANDATE BATTLE is Three Kingdoms: BOND’s top-tier player-vs-player (PvP) ranking battle, held only on weekends through real-time matchmaking. With opponents’ formations hidden and a strict time limit in play, players must read as deeply as possible into their opponent’s opening setup and outmaneuver them in an intense battle of wits.
 

MANDATE BATTLE Rules Held every Saturday and Sunday. Each day's session runs from 8:00 PM PT the evening before through 9:00 AM PT the next morning (Noon to 1:00 AM the following day, Japan Standard Time). Rankings are determined by “Merit Points” earned. Merit Points rise and fall based on match results. Rankings are finalized each week. The highest Crown earned during the month stays displayed on your profile. Each week, the top 2 players in the weekly ranking earn a spot in REIGN SUPREME. 2 qualifiers per week × 4 weeks = 8 total finalists for REIGN SUPREME. Rules differ for the August Preseason Trial (Aug 28–30 JST); that session carries no rewards.

Crown System: Your Weekly Ranking Determines Your Crown Color
Each week, players are awarded a differently colored “Crown” based on their MANDATE BATTLE ranking that week. The highest Crown earned across all four rounds of the month stays displayed on the player’s profile until the fourth round of the following month’s MANDATE BATTLE concludes — showing off their skill to every player.
