Olympiad Points

Olympiad points are the currency of the Grand Olympiad — earned through victories, lost through defeat, and exchangeable for Noblesse Gate Passes at the end of each period.

  • At the beginning of each Olympiad period, 18 points are equally awarded to all Noblesse, and 3 additional points each week thereafter.
  • Upon completion of a match, the loser's Olympiad points are transferred to the winner.
  • When a game ends in a draw, Olympiad points for both sides are reduced.
  • A buff is provided in games between PCs of the same class, and a Noblesse Gate Pass is rewarded to the winner.
  • Competitors can check their current point status at any time through the Grand Olympiad Manager.
  • Previous period scores can also be viewed through the Grand Olympiad Manager.
🎟
Noblesse Gate Pass Exchange
  • At the end of the period, characters with more than 50 Olympiad points may exchange them for Noblesse Gate Passes.
  • Exchange rate: 1,000 Noblesse Gate Passes per 1 Olympiad point. For example, 50 points = 50,000 Gate Passes; 49 points = 0 Gate Passes.
  • Noblesse Gate Passes may be used to purchase items from the Grand Olympiad Manager or for teleporting via the Gatekeeper.

Hero Selection & Ranking

A player who has recorded the highest Olympiad score in their class is conferred the title of Hero. When there are ties, a strict tiebreaker hierarchy applies.

🏆
Tiebreaker Rules (C5)
  • When there are multiple 1st place winners in a class: the character with the most games won becomes Hero.
  • If the number of wins is equal: the character with the highest winning percentage becomes Hero.
  • If Olympiad points, number of wins, and winning percentage are all equal: no Hero is selected for that class.
📋
Minimum Requirements
  • A character must have competed more than 9 times and achieved at least 1 victory to be eligible for Hero status. Updated in C6
📊
Rankings
  • All Noblesse have access to the top 10 ranking of the last period's results. Those who competed fewer than 4 times are excluded.
  • The Olympiad point value that determines final standing is not revealed in the ranking — only character names are listed.
  • Up to 15 individuals with equal points can be displayed simultaneously.
📜 The Hero retains the title throughout the entire duration of the next month's competition. The Hero is determined on the first day of every month.
