Thank you for always playing THREE KINGDOMS: BOND.

This is the THREE KINGDOMS: BOND Development Team.

The October Phase 4 of the real-time PvP ranking match, the "Mandate Battle," is about to begin!

Based on your Mandate Battle rankings, you can earn the right to participate in the monthly tournament "REIGN SUPREME" held the following month. Aim for the pinnacle of THREE KINGDOMS: BOND!

Please read the following carefully, as we have added new rules regarding the event period and weekday sessions starting from this Phase.

Until now, rankings were finalized weekly based on weekend-only sessions. However, taking your feedback into consideration, we are making the following changes:

・One Phase will now span 2 weeks, and rankings will be finalized based on the Valor accumulated at the end of the 2 weeks (The October Phase 4 Mandate Battle will be held over 9 days).*There will be a total of 2 Phases per month.*The schedule from November onwards will be announced at a later date.

・On weekdays (Monday to Friday), the Mandate Battle will be open for ranking matches for 1 hour every day from 06:00 to 07:00 (PT).

The October Phase 4 Mandate Battle Schedule is as follows:*Please note the shift in dates/times due to the time zone difference from JST.

10/23 (Fri): 20:00 - 10/24 (Sat) 09:00 (PT)

10/24 (Sat): 20:00 - 10/25 (Sun) 09:00 (PT)

10/26 (Mon): 06:00 - 07:00 (PT)

10/27 (Tue): 06:00 - 07:00 (PT)

Rankings will be determined by the total Valor earned over these 9 days.

Previously, the right to participate in REIGN SUPREME was granted to the top 2 ranked players. With the extension of the event period, we are changing this so that the top 4 players will be granted the right to participate.

For October Phase 4 as well, the top 4 players will earn the right to participate in the November REIGN SUPREME.

Furthermore, the November REIGN SUPREME will be a special tournament with a total of 10 participants.
