They had cleared the first hurdle, but that was only one step in a long journey to the top. The newly-formed Raven's Call might have qualified for the D-rank tournament, but they still had many things to completely before they were fully prepared.

Leah walked along the streets of the main hub, shopping, observing, picking up information and gossip wherever she could. Her team had the skills to challenge for the top, but they also only had very basic equipment at this point. If they wanted to make a serious challenge to move up to C-rank they needed as many advantages as they could get, even if they were small.

But it wasn't just a matter of buying the equipment with the highest stats and using it. There were always restrictions as to what they could use depending on their rank. A-rank equipment was better than B rank and required a higher skill level to use, and so on and so forth.

Their skill level was a point value directly tied to how many enemies they had defeated, and in the case of the tournaments it worked in tiers. A D-rank player could have killed the exact number of enemies that an A-rank player had, but once they stepped inside the arena the cap went into place. The players could only use skills and equipment up to a certain level until they progressed to the next rank.

And then there was the issue of the point values that came along with everything. All players had a point value determined by their equipment and skill level, which translated into how powerful the team ranked and how many points their foes received when they defeated them. A team in the D-rank with maxed-out skills and equipment would be worth 20,000 points, 5,000 for each individual player.

It seemed like nothing more than a formality of the scoring system, but Leah's time in the A-ranks had taught her far differently. The tallest blade of grass was the first one to get cut, or so they said, and it was no different in the Avalon Online tournaments. In multi-team matches, the strongest team was often targeted by all the others if they had a significant advantage.

And strength was a relative term anyhow. Support magic was considered to be less powerful than destruction magic by the points system, but used correctly it could be just as strong, or even capable of exceeding it in some cases. Her team's fight against the Black Wolves had been proof of that.

The enemy archer had also given her some ideas about a possible new character build…

But there was another quirk to the points system, one that many teams tried to manipulate to their advantage. There were dozens of stages that a match could take place inside, ranging from forests, to swamps, to mountains, to caverns and many more locations. Every place had its quirks, its secrets and pitfalls that could greatly influence the outcome of a battle.

That was where the points system came into play.
