# Duel / Player vs Player Mode

This is one of two multiplayer modes in the game. In this mode, players are paired for one-on-one battle using a prompt matchmaking system. Players proceed through 6 ranks, each rank has a specific number of divisions: 

Private (3 Divisions) 

Lieutenant (4 Divisions) 

Captain (5 Divisions) 

Major (5 Divisions) 

Colonel (5 Divisions) 

General (No Division) 

To gain ranks, players will need to win matches. Each win provides a Victory Point, and each loss reduces a Victory Point. To advance to the next division, players will need four Victory Points. If a player is ranked Lieutenant or above, and loses all Victory Points in a Division, the next successive loss will result in a demotion to the previous division.
