The Rite of Champions will be live on PS4, Xbox One and PC from May 17th @ 17:00 PM UTC to May 31st @ 12:00 PM UTC. For any updates or changes to the schedule please refer to this Reddit sub-channel


Q: WHAT ACTIVITIES WILL BE AVAILABLE DURING THE EVENT?

Play the new limited-time game mode, Carousel of Death! When you die, you respawn 5 seconds later, plus 5 seconds more for every subsequent death. Victory is achieved when all opponents are dead at the same time. Single Pick with no Revive, no Feats and no Gear Stats.

As it is time to honor the past, we have prepared 18 contract orders about the heroes of the past. Each day, 3 contract orders are spawned and replace the normal contract orders during the event.

We have created three community orders that will tell the legends of each faction throughout the entire event.

• Belval The Medusa: May 17th to May 21st
  
• Musashi The Crane: May 22nd to May 26th
  
• Heidrek The Warthog: May 27th to May 31st

An exclusive Emblem Outline will automatically be given to players who have at least one hero that has a reputation score of 50! The emblem outline will be introduced on May 17th and will remain unlockable after the event once the condition is met.

Players will be awarded with 7 days of Champions Status for each hero that has a reputation score of 50. Finally, an XP boost ticket will be awarded for each hero with a reputation score between 1 and 49. These two rewards will be given between June 4th and June 8th for all players who qualifies even if they did not logged-in during the event.

I can't help but notice that this makes reference to heroes of "Reputation score of 50 or more."

Is there something you'd like to tell us about Reputation?

Probably an error, as I'm not aware of any plans to raise the reputation max cap.

Went ahead and confirmed this with the designers. Max Rep is still 50.

I've got an effect at the end of a battle, but I can't seem to find it at all. I get the effect only for the character I'm playing, right?

Edit: Radiance is not even listed for me, so idk.

are event weapons earned random too or are those set for the character played?

and are they rep-locked or can a rep 0 character get their respective weapon parts?

This. No one knows for sure, if they are different based on reputation, do they get better later on as we increase rep?

You always get gear for the character you played, and event gear is no exception.

The event gear is not reputation-locked. You can get it at any Reputation level, and it will be added so your Visual Collection, so later on when you have Legendary-tier gear, you can change the appearance to that of the event gear.
