🏆 Honor & Glory Systems

Advanced progression through the Eternal Strife and Beyond Colosseum

Honor

Honor is earned by sending heroes into the Eternal Strife — an endless dungeon from which heroes never return. When a hero falls, they are promoted to the Beyond roster and you earn Honor based on new floors cleared beyond your previous record.

Honor is spent in the Honor Store on:

Unlocking advanced classes (Samurai, Onmyoji)
Raising the hero level cap
Extending offline progress time (Eternal Vigil upgrades)
Increasing concurrent run slots

The Beyond Colosseum

Promoted heroes fight in the Colosseum in 1v1, 3v3, and 5v5 formats against other players' Beyond heroes or seeded opponents. Each format has its own ELO ladder.

Wins earn Glory and increase your ELO
Losses decrease ELO (with a floor)
ELO determines matchmaking tier and affects Glory per win

Glory

Glory is earned from Colosseum wins and spent in the Glory Shop on:

Unlocking Gladiator and Valkyrie classes
Expanding your Colosseum roster
Accessing the Blood Colosseum dungeon (5,000 Glory)
Champion's Discipline — bonus gold/XP per Colosseum win
Pinnacle of Glory raid unlock (3,000 Glory + 1,400 ELO)

Tip: Build Beyond heroes specifically for survival depth in the Eternal Strife (max HP + DEF) rather than mirroring your dungeon party's DPS focus. The deeper your heroes push before falling, the more Honor you earn per promotion.
