First-Time Victory Rewards

Duels (PvP)
Direct 1v1 on the same map seed. Both players independently explore the same dungeon, make their own routing and itemization choices, then their final builds are matched in combat. The player with the better strategy wins.
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| Stake | 0.1 SOL |
| Revenue Split | 3% company / 2% Gauntlet pool / 95% winner |
| Starting HP | 20 HP |
Pit Draft (PvP)
A fully randomized instant PvP mode. Both players are assigned a random loadout from their item pool — 1 Tool + 7 Gear with a random oil applied — and fight immediately. No exploration, no choices. Pure luck and item pool depth.
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| Stake | 0.1 SOL |
| Revenue Split | 3% company / 2% Gauntlet pool / 95% winner |
| Starting HP | 20 HP |

PvP Mutual-Kill Tiebreak
In PvP, if both combatants die on the same exchange, a tiebreak order (HP+ARM, SPD, DIG, ATK, Max HP) determines the winner. See the Combat System page for full details.
