In Tournament mode, players compete against the previous attempts (records/ghosts) of 14 other players. Each player's rank is determined by the total number of questions (turns) taken to defeat all enemies.
If there is a tie in number of questions, the tied ranks will be determined by the total time taken to answer questions. On the unlikely chance that both the time taken and the number of questions are the same, the tied players will both be rewarded with the lower rank's reward (e.g. both players that tie for first place will get second place rewards). Time is only associated with the time spent during answering the question; time taken when choosing a question category and using skills are NOT included. Using a skill only takes a turn if it finishes the last battle of the run.
Points are awarded in tournaments for increasing players' Wizard Rank. Players only compete against others of the same Wizard Rank. Beginning at Rank 12, placing in the lower half earns negative points. Players can then get their rank dropped, but cannot go lower than Rank 11.
Wizard Cup Events[]
In Wizard Cup events, players receive Cup Points based on their current Wizard Rank and how well they place in tournaments. These events give a variety of rewards such as golds, crystals, ethers (see Hidden Powers) and limited spirits.
Rewards may take up to two hours to be processed before they are awarded the next day. (e.g. 12:00 AM ~ 2:00 AM)

Rewards[]
There are 3* types of rewards in Wizard Cups.
- Daily Ranking Rewards
The daily ranking rewards are special rewards awarded based on a ranking of points accumulated each day. The points are reset after each day of the event. - Accumulated Points Rewards
The accumulated points rewards are special rewards given to each Wizard for accumulating the target amount of points. Like the daily ranking, the points are reset after each day, so you can obtain all the items in the list for every day during the event. - Overall Ranking Rewards
The overall ranking rewards are the rewards for the ranking of points accumulated over the whole period of the event! Unlike the other rewards, the points will not reset after each day.
* Note
- Wizard Cup Golden Edition only had Daily Ranking Rewards
- Wizard Cup Snowflake Edition only had Daily Ranking Rewards and Accumulated Points Rewards
- Starting from Wizard Cup Astrological Edition, all Wizard Cups had all 3 types of rewards
Tips[]
Preferred Spirits[]
In tournaments, spirits that may be good in other events and quest may not be as good in tournaments due to the nature of their abilities. In a nutshell, skills that enable the spirits to deal damage as high as possible to enemies in shortest turns possible are preferred.
A list of preferred types of Answer skills are listed below in no particular order:
- Consecutive attackers or Divided Trimagicians (e.g. Iris Lantia (Holy Blade of Honor) or Mayvis Draclow (Death's Seductive Smile)) for cleaning-up and/or minimizing wastage/overkill
- Deck element-based attackers (e.g. Valzine (Heavenly Mech Dragon)) for high damage in multi-colored decks
- Elemental Slayers (e.g. Riel (Aqua Sharpshooter)) for killing elemental-specific enemies quickly
- Team ATK boosters (e.g. Fasaar Patrameseth (Empty Visions) or Isabeli Hays (Death's Messenger)) for increasing offensive power of the team
- Undivided Trimagicians (e.g. Coffy Strife (Wild Dual Pistols)) for dealing full damage to all enemies. The total damage can be very high if there are more than one enemy.
A list of preferred types of Special skills are listed below in no particular order:
- Specific-emblem Changers with 7 iTTC or less
- Emblem Shufflers (e.g. Rider Valentine (Lightspeed Mystic Wheels)) to counter early emblem trolling
- Nukers, whether pan- or single-target, with 7 iTTC or less (e.g. Yukka Ende (Defender of Time), Ewan Edgar (Shining Clown))
- TTC Shavers with 6 iTTC or less (e.g. Dario & Galatia (Two Worlds))
Defensive and survivability-based Answer & Special skills like the ones below are not recommended for tournament use because the enemies can be killed before they inflict too much damage. For instance:
- Healing: Heal all, Self Heals, HP Absorption.
- Revival (e.g. Tsutsunokami (Bringing of the End))
- Turn Delaying (e.g. Chihiro Unagami (Dancing Princess of the Sea))
- Shielding (e.g. Jin Side (King of Dry Ponds))
- % HP Reduction: Not useful for low ranks because of its high TTC and bosses having too little HP to make this significant.
Note: TTC stands for Turn(s) to Charge. iTTC stands for Initial Turn(s) to Charge.
Preferred Formations and Targetting[]
This section talks about in what order your spirits should be placed in your decks (formation) and which spirits attack which enemies (targetting) in tournament battles.
Spirits' Formation - From left to right order
- Undivided Trimagicians (Order doesn't matter)
- Elemental/Race Slayers
- (Any spirits other than specified in this list) (Highest ATK first)
- Consecutive attackers (Highest ATK first)
- Divided Trimagicians (Highest ATK first)
Targetting Enemies - This is done manually and assuming Answer Skills are activated
- Undivided/Divided Trimagicians : No need to manual target
- Elemental/Race Slayers : Enemies with element/race said in the spirits' AS description
- Consecutive attackers : The enemy with the least HP
- Other spirits : Depends on enemies' HP and your spirits' ATK.
Note that it's only a general advice.
Targetting depends a lot on your spirits' AS & SS skills, ATK stat, the number of enemies left, enemies' HP & element, etc. Try different targettings if you find previous targettings didn't work.
