Alternatively, certain Limited-Time Events and Alliance Encounters will have direct links to their specific rankings within their respective UI panels.

Types of Leaderboards

THRONE AND LIBERTY features a diverse array of Leaderboards, each tracking different aspects of player and Alliance performance. Focusing on specific categories can help you strategize your gameplay for maximum impact.

Individual Player Rankings

• Champion Talents: This leaderboard ranks players based on their overall Champion Talent points accumulated. To climb this board, actively participate in Dungeons, complete Adventures, and engage in Random Enemy Encounters to earn experience and talent points.
• Paragon: The Paragon leaderboard showcases players with the highest Paragon levels. Gaining Paragon levels is a long-term goal achieved through consistent gameplay, completing daily tasks, and participating in high-level content.
• Spoils of War: This ranking tracks the total value of "Spoils of War" collected. Engage in PvP activities, conquer Seats of Power, and participate in Alliance Raids to maximize your gains here.
• Dungeon Completion Times: Specific Dungeons will often have their own leaderboards, ranking players or parties by their fastest completion times. Master Dungeon mechanics, optimize your Equipment (Official), and coordinate with your party to dominate these speed runs.
• PvP Kills: For the most aggressive players, this leaderboard tracks the total number of player kills. Focus on open-world PvP, Warpath Map engagements, and Regional Capital skirmishes.

Alliance Rankings

Alliance-based leaderboards are vital for showcasing your guild's collective strength and coordination. Contributing to your Alliance is key to success in these categories.

• Alliance Contribution: This board ranks Alliances based on the total Alliance Contribution points earned by their members. Encourage your Alliance members to complete Alliance Tasks, donate resources, and participate in Alliance Technologies research.
• Alliance Bastion Power: Tracks the overall power level of an Alliance's Bastion. This is influenced by upgrades to City Walls, Barracks, and the strength of your Army. Strategic resource gathering from Resource Locations and efficient Workshop management are crucial.
• Alliance Raids: Ranks Alliances based on their success in Alliance Raids, often by completion time or total damage dealt to raid bosses. Effective communication, strong Mercenaries, and well-equipped members are paramount.
• Seats of Power Control: This dynamic leaderboard reflects which Alliances currently control the various Seats of Power across the World Map. Constant vigilance, strategic diplomacy (Alliance Diplomacy), and strong forces are required to maintain control.

Strategies for Climbing the Ranks

To effectively climb the Leaderboards, consider these actionable strategies:

• Daily Engagement: Consistent participation in daily activities, such as completing Adventures, clearing Dungeons, and contributing to Alliance Tasks, provides a steady stream of points and resources.
• Optimize Equipment: Regularly review and upgrade your Equipment (Official). Visit the Workshop to craft powerful gear and enhance existing items. Better gear directly translates to better performance in combat and faster completion times.
• Master Champion Talents: Carefully plan your Champion Talents to maximize your character's effectiveness in your chosen role. Experiment with different builds to find what works best for specific Leaderboard challenges.
• Alliance Synergy: For Alliance-based leaderboards, active participation and coordination within your Alliance are non-negotiable. Communicate strategies in Chat, contribute to Alliance Technologies, and participate in Alliance Encounters.
• Resource Management: Efficiently manage your resources. Utilize the Menagerie for resource generation, scout Resource Locations with your Scout Tower, and plan your Queues for building and research effectively.
• Limited-Time Events: Pay close attention to Limited-Time Events. These often offer accelerated ways to earn points for specific leaderboards or introduce new competitive challenges. Check your Calendar regularly.
• Understand the Meta: Stay informed about the current game meta. Which builds are strong? Which strategies are effective in specific Dungeons or PvP scenarios? Consult community guides and discussions.
• VIP Benefits: While not mandatory, VIP status can offer bonuses that accelerate progress, such as increased resource generation or faster research times, indirectly aiding your climb up the rankings.

Rewards and Recognition

Achieving high ranks on the Leaderboards often comes with significant rewards. These can include:

• Exclusive Titles and Banners displayed on your Player Profile.
• Rare Items and crafting materials.
• Unique Equipment (Official) skins or cosmetic enhancements.
• In-game currency and premium currency.
• Special Chests (Special) containing valuable loot.

Beyond tangible rewards, the recognition of being a top-ranked player or Alliance within Aeterna is a reward in itself, fostering a sense of accomplishment and prestige.
