Leaderboards and Discord

Every finished run can land on a public board, and every named player has a public Armory page. This guide covers where to find both, how the ranking works, the Daily Challenge, and what the community Discord adds when you link your account.

Where to see the boards

• In the game: the RANKS button in the top bar of the hero menu opens the leaderboards window.
• On the website: Leaderboards has three tabs: Boards, Daily challenge and Events.
• In the Game Modes window: the Daily Challenge shows today's board next to its rules.

Both the game and the site read the same cloud boards, so a run shows up in both. Playing with the cloud switched off keeps your save on your computer but puts nothing on a board; the RANKS window then asks you to turn the cloud on in ACCOUNT.

Getting a run onto a board

1. Name your hero. Your hero's name is your name on the leaderboards. A name is 3 to 16 letters and digits and starts with a letter. The game checks it online, so it needs the cloud, and names that fail the filter are refused. You change it on the hero screen.
2. Be signed in to the cloud. A run is sent when it ends. The ACCOUNT window shows whether the cloud save is synced.
3. Play a run. Wins and losses both count. A win always ranks above every loss.

Runs held for review

A run that looks out of the ordinary is held before it appears. The RANKS window then tells you that the run awaits the team's check and joins the board once approved. Honest wins get approved, some of them automatically, so a held run is not a verdict.

Edited saves and cheating are not welcome on the boards. An account that breaks the rules can be banned from them, and the RANKS window shows the ban and its reason.

Reading a board

One board exists for every combination of these choices:

A Discord players only switch narrows any board to heroes whose account linked Discord. They are ranked among themselves, and the Discord mark sits before their name on the normal board too.

How the ranking works

• Each account appears once per board, with its best run there.
• Wins come first. Among wins, the faster win ranks higher. Among losses, the longer survival ranks higher.
• A tie goes to the run with more kills, then to the earlier run.
• The website lists the top 50 runs of a board.

Each row shows the hero's name and class, the result (Victory, or Fell in the game and Survived on the site), the time, kills, level, and the build the run ended with: spells, rings, trinkets and amulet, and talent points. In the game, hover a row to see the build in columns, hold Shift to see every talent that was taken, and click a row to open that player's Armory page. Your own best run is highlighted, and shown under the rows when it ranks below them.

Which game modes count: the Game Modes window shows a ladder for each mode, or says when runs in the mode stay off the ladders. The zone boards in RANKS are the campaign's. See Runs and zones for the modes.

The Daily Challenge

Open Game Modes, pick Daily Challenge and press Enter the Challenge.

• A new challenge starts at midnight UTC. The window shows today's class, zone, difficulty and affixes, and a countdown to the next challenge.
• Everyone plays the same hero, zone, difficulty and affixes, and is offered the same cards. It is solo only.
• Everyone starts alike: no gear bonuses, talents or perks.
• Your first run of the day is the one that counts on the day's board. Later runs are practice, as many as you like.
• A win pays a chest, and the mode pays gold.
• The board lists the day's best runs and your own place ("Your run today"). On the website, pick any earlier day with the arrows.

Event boards

During a holiday, the Events tab on Leaderboards ranks players by the holiday currency they picked up while the event ran. Pick an event and its year from the list. Currency counts once the game saves to the cloud, a tie goes to whoever got there first, and spending currency in the Event Shop costs you no place. The Event Shop in the game shows the top of the same board and your own place. More about holidays in Runs and zones.

The Armory

Every named account has a public page at azreborn.com/armory/<hero name>. Search for a name on the Armory page (names are spelled as in the game), or follow a link from a board.

The page shows the account's heroes, one per class played, with a picker to switch between them. For the chosen hero there are seven tabs:

Your own page is in the game: open the ACCOUNT window and look for YOUR ARMORY PAGE. Open it from there, or click the link and press Ctrl+C to copy it. The site's own Copy link button does the same.

Linking Discord

Linking ties your game account to your Discord account. It is optional, and it gives you:

• Your account on another computer. Link the same Discord there and you play the same account with the same cloud save.
• Discord friends in the game. Friends who link Discord and play become friends in the game too, and the friends list marks them with Discord.
• The Discord mark on the boards, and a place on the Discord players only boards.
• Mentions in the community Discord's posts about your records and rank.

To link:

1. Open the ACCOUNT window (click the cloud or Discord badge on your hero card in the hero menu).
2. In the DISCORD section press Link Discord. A page opens in your browser; finish linking there. If no page opened, the window shows the address to go to. While you wait it says "Waiting for Discord...", afterwards "Linked". Use Link again to redo it.

One Discord, one account. If the Discord you link already belongs to another account, the window offers to switch this computer to that account and its cloud save. Switching deletes the cloud account this computer had before, so read the question before you accept.

Pings

Posts on the community Discord mention every linked player by name. A mention only shows the name. You get a notification only if you said yes: tick Ping me in Discord for leaderboards in the ACCOUNT window, or use /pings on the Discord server. Weekly class champions and records are the posts that mention you.

What the community Discord posts

The community Discord is also behind the Join Discord button in the hero menu. Besides help and people to play with, it receives automatic posts:

The weekly class ranking counts each account once per class, with its best solo run of that class in the week across all boards. Wins beat losses, a higher difficulty beats a lower one, a later zone beats an earlier one, and then the board order above decides.

The lobby post's link opens the installed game on that lobby on Windows, and the browser game otherwise. See Co-op for lobbies.

Commands

Type these on the Discord server. The bot answers in the language of the person who typed.

A German Discord client sees the German command names (/profil, /rang).
