Hello everyone,

I’m currently a lower-mid level Valiant player and have never seriously competed in the Gladiator's Circuit before. In previous seasons, I typically just reached the Gladiator Circuit to secure the Victory Track rewards.

However, this season I’ve set my sights on the Radiance rewards and am trying to compete more seriously. At present, I’m in Gamma 4. Earlier today, my rank was approximately 802, but I’ve now dropped to below 1,000.

With only three days remaining, I understand that the final stretch of the season often sees a significant push from other players. I’m concerned about whether I’ll be able to remain in the Gamma 4 bracket or if I might fall back into Uru 1, especially given the strength of some of the opponents I’m facing. Many have multiple Rank 4 champions and nearly full decks of Rank 3s, which makes it challenging to stay competitive.

Additionally, I’ve been encountering issues with AI behavior — for example, Enchantress stood idle for over 10 seconds in one match, causing my Rank 3 Hulk’s Fury buffs to expire — which adds to the frustration.


If anyone has experience with how rankings typically fluctuate in the final days of the season or advice on how to maintain my bracket placement with a mid-level roster, I’d greatly appreciate your insights.

    Stop looking at ranks,
    And Just stop playing BG the moment you lose a round, then pick it up again after 2-3 hours or so

    I am about where you are (one point less actually) - I have been estimating I need at least 1 probably 2 wins to stay in gamma from this point. But I’d have been on a W-L-W cycle for the last 48 hours.

    The other thing to consider (and I am not sure if it’s implemented or not) but they plan to start decaying your score if you park for a certain amount of time. Others will have to supply the details. I went looking the other day and couldn’t find anything.

    Just an FYI… one win at this point total jumps you to gamma 3. So you can win and park. I also went back to the the previous release notes and I don’t see anything about losing points if you park at the moment. It was mentioned in a dev diary like its upcoming, but they didn’t mention it being implemented this season from what I saw.

    @Chuck_Finley Yes I also didn't thought it was implemented.. but few days ago I was parking at 2000+ in gamma4 ..later I was dropped down to uru 1 .. don't know if it was a glitch or that is how GC works as I don't have prior experience..
    Now I am planning to to hit GC only if I drop below 2000 in gamma 4 .. lose- win- cycle is what I am most afraid of . Anyway if u face anything else in future related to this .. please inform

    You will move down ranks as other people leap frog you. That’s just part of the mode. The decay (when implemented) would be you had 160 points and after a few days you were at 155 or 150 and you hadn’t played,

    After finishing my objectives, it is interesting seeing my Gamma 4 "rank" continue to slip down as we head into the last day. My ranking has slipped 1000+ in the past half day.

    It definitely does seem like the Radiance jump between Uru and Gamma is encouraging a lot of players to increase the points needed to be in Gamma 4.

    Can confirm all of this. Happens every season, especially when rewards are juiced. If you want to park during the last three to four days, you probably needed to be Gamma 1 in order not to fall all the way to Uru. Tons of movement with so many people cramming matches in the final 24 hours.

    Gamma 3 (low level) Down in the 700s of gamma 4 now, dropped about 500 spots today. Would have to drop 2300 spots by tomorrow mid day to end up in uru. Gonna let it ride, it will be informative if nothing else. 12000 radiance isn’t going to make or break my account…, though grinding BGs might break my device,
