Bracket System

Open PvP uses experience brackets so a late-game ninja cannot farm brand-new accounts. STUDENT and GENIN sit outside normal PvP. Higher ranks are grouped by total experience.

Immunity and initiating

If you start an attack, your bracket immunity lifts for a few minutes. War participation also flags you for a longer window. Sleep at home or stay in protected buildings when you do not want the fight.

Ranked PvP and tournaments have their own queues — see ranked standings and combat.
