words and adds UAS-specific strategy.
Alliance Battle Royale
1 · What is Alliance Battle Royale?
Picture a cricket-themed Hunger Games for alliances. One by one, groups of ten
alliances battle until only a single banner still has “hearts” left. Daily
eliminations keep the pressure sky-high. Top-100 alliances play a special
Champions track; everyone ranked 101 + fights in identical mini-brackets.
2 · Tournament Format
2.1 Group Stage (Top 100)
Ten groups of ten alliances (sorted by global ranking).
Each real-world day: one alliance with the fewest hearts is eliminated.
Last team standing in each group advances to the Champions bracket.
2.2 Finals
Group winners form Bracket 1, runners-up Bracket 2, and so on. Same daily-KO rule applies until a champion emerges from Bracket 1.
2.3 Non-Top-100 Path
Rank 101 + alliances enter identical 10-team groups. Two full rounds give twice the shot at lifting a mini-title.
Auto-heal: +1 heart per member if your alliance survives the day.
Bonus heal: beat a 0-heart opponent with ≥ 24 balls left → regain 1 heart.
6 · Rewards Cheat-Sheet
6.1 Top 100 Alliances
Daily Survival Chests: 1 chest per member per day survived.
EPB Tokens: 10 tokens per heart destroyed (up to 30/attack) + situational 20-token skill-gap bonuses.
Ultimate Champion: Trophy for alliance leader + video call with Harsha Bhogle.
6.2 Rank 101 +
Finish 1st in group → 3 Battle Chests/member.
Finish 2nd in group → 2 Battle Chests/member.
7 · Roster Lock & Other Rules
Once the event begins alliances are locked. Top 100 cannot add members;
lower tiers may add but not remove. Line-up not set? Your league XI auto-loads.
Daily attack attempts reset 20:00 IST.
8 · Universal Allstars Game-Plan
Our all alliances tackle the Battle Royale with full heart and gets the best ranks each time.
