Editing Game Modes

[[Spellbreak]] currently has 2 main '''Game Modes''': Battle Royale and Dominion.
{{MainImage|Dominion.png}}{{NOTOC}}
Completing matches in either game mode will award the player with XP to rank up their [[Progression|Mage]] & [[Progression|Class Ranks]].
<br>
In [[Leagues|ranked]] they will also be awarded {{Crowns|Crowns}} based the [[Progression#Accolades|Accolades]] they earned during the match.

In BR, players can queue as either [[File:Solo.png|25px]] '''Solo''', [[File:Duo.png|25px]] '''Duo''' or [[File:Squad.png|25px]] '''Squad''' (3 players). Max&nbsp;player lobby size: 42.

To win the match, players must fight to [[Status_Effects#Channels|exile]] each other while staying out of the [[Spellstorm]] until they're the last ones standing.

In '''solo queue''', the player will be [[Status Effects#Channels|exiled]] upon taking lethal damage, ending their match.
<br>
All [[Equipment|equipment]] plus a random [[File:Spirit_Scroll.png|25x25px|link=Scroll]] [[Scroll]] they have read will be dropped in the process.

In '''duo & squad queues''', a match only truly ends for a squad once all their members have been [[Status Effects#Channels|exiled]].
<br>
Upon taking lethal damage, they will first be [[Disruption|disrupted]] into a wisp for up to 60 seconds before being [[Status Effects#Channels|exiled]].
<br>
[[Disruption|Disrupted players]] are immune to damage, but their actions are limited to slow movement alone.
<br>
In this state they may be [[File:Exile.png|25x25px|link=Status Effects#Channels]] [[Status Effects#Channels|exiled]] by an opponent early, or [[File:Revive.png|25x25px|link=Status Effects#Channels]] [[Status Effects#Channels|revived]] with 40 health by a squadmate, following a 6.5 / 5 second channel respectively.

Players may still be [[Resurrection|resurrected]] post-exile by their remainding squadmates, once they enter a new safe zone.
<br>
Allies resurrected this way drop into the [[Spellbreak Lore|Hollow Lands]] anew with full health, but with no [[Equipment#Consumables|Consumables]] or [[Equipment]] besides their [[Classes|Class Gauntlet]]. They may also miss out on potential [[Classes|level ups]] from new safe zones.

Baseline stat values: Max Health: '''100''' | Max Armor: '''0''' | Max [[Mana]]: '''50''' | Run Speed: [https://www.reddit.com/r/Spellbreak/comments/jhq76u/trying_to_determine_the_base_run_speed_in/ <span style="color:black">'''24.5'''</span>]

===The Spellstorm===
One of the core game mechanics in Battle Royale is an ever-shrinking safe zone outlined by a circle on the map.
<br>
Players must aim to stay inside the safe zone at all costs in order to survive.
<br>
The safe zone will spawn 20 seconds after match start, and can appear anywhere on the [[Spellbreak Lore|Hollow Lands]] map.
<br>
Players '''level up''' upon entering a new safe zone, unlocking the next [[Classes|Skill]] for their chosen [[Classes|Class]].

Outside the safe zone is a furious [[Spellstorm]] that slowly deals damage directly to a player's health.
<br>
The damage roughly doubles in power each time the [[Spellstorm|Storm]] fully encloses a new safe zone, and will continue to shrink until the entire map is covered.
<br>
Additionally, [[File:Mana_Vault_New.png|25x25px|link=Equipment#Chests]] [[Equipment#Chests|Mana Vaults]] will spawn inside the safe zone each time the [[Spellstorm|Storm]] fully encloses it.

==Dominion==
<!--For DESKTOP eyes only.--><span class="nomobile">[[File:Dominion.png|180px|thumb|<center>'''Dominion'''</center>]]</span>
<!--For MOBILE eyes only--><div id="mf-banner"><div style="float:left;">[[File:Dominion.png|180px]]</div>{{clear}}</div>
'''Dominion''' is an objective-based 5v5 game mode, where teams fight to earn points by capturing zones and exiling each other until a score threshold is met.
<br>
The match takes place in one of five randomly chosen maps: Banehelm, Dustpool, Halcyon, Hymnwood and Bogmore.

The maps share the same regions of the [[Hollow Lands]] you would find in BR, but are encircled by a red [[Spellstorm]] that instantly [[exile|exiles]] players.

Within each map are three distinct zones to capture: '''Moon''', '''Sun''', and '''Star'''.<br>To capture a zone the player simply has to stand inside it for 10 s. The capturing process accelerates if multiple teammates are present, but will be paused if contested by a nearby enemy player.

The score threshold is equal to 75 + (15 * number of players per team).
<br>
So for a full team of 5 players the threshold will be 150.
<br>
If the score hasn’t been reached after 15 minutes, the team with the highest score wins.
<br>
Teams will passively earn 1 point every 10 seconds for each zone under their control. Exiling an enemy player grants points equal to the number of zones controlled, but always a minimum of 1 point.

As the match progresses, players will '''level up''' at minutes 2, 4, and 8, unlocking their next [[Classes|Class Skill]].

===The Vowguard===
Dominion features NPC Vowguards that spawn in groups of three at fixed locations.<br>Vowguards have 35 max health, and will attack nearby players with an arcane spell, dealing 10 damage.

Upon being exiled they can drop any [[File:LargeHP_Consumable.png|25x25px|link=Consumables]] [[Consumables|Consumable]], a random piece of up to {{Rarity|Rare}} rarity loot, or [[Scrolls]].
<br>
Once the entire group is defeated they will respawn after 20 - 35 seconds.

===The Merchant===
<!--For DESKTOP eyes only.--><span class="nomobile">[[File:The Merchant.png|180px|thumb|<center>'''The Merchant'''</center>]]</span>
<!--For MOBILE eyes only--><div id="mf-banner"><div style="float:left;">[[File:The Merchant.png|180px|thumb|<center>'''The Merchant'''</center>]]</div>{{clear}}</div>
In the [[Game Modes#Dominion|Dominion]] game mode there are no [[Equipment#Chests|Chests]], Amulets, Belts or Boots. Instead, players get their loot by exchanging so-called [[File:Boon Gem.png|25px]] Boon Gems at '''The Merchant'''.

Players start with and can store up to 3 Boon Gem charges. Charges fill up slowly over time, and faster as players exile or deal damage to enemy Breakers & Vowguards.

Boon Gems can be exchanged at the merchant for a Boon offer after [[recalling]] or getting exiled. Being exiled grants the player a Boon Gem charge if they don't have any.

At the beginning of a match, the merchant offers two rounds of three boon choices, consisting of random {{Rarity|Common}} offhand Gauntlets & Runes respectively.
<br>
The merchant will then cycle through three different '''sets''' of boon choices between each purchase.
<br>
These Boon choices include [[Spells & Sorceries|Gauntlets]], [[Runes]] and Blessings. All Boons offered are guaranteed to be one rarity level higher than what is equipped.

'''Boon Set 1''':
*Option 1: Offhand Gauntlet Upgrade of a random [[elements|element]]
*Option 2: Equipped Rune Upgrade
*Option 3: Class Gauntlet Upgrade '''OR''' a random Blessing
'''Boon Set 2''':
*Option 1: Equipped Offhand Gauntlet Upgrade
*Option 2: Rune Upgrade of a random type
*Option 3: Class Gauntlet Upgrade '''OR''' a random Blessing
'''Boon Set 3''':
*Option 1: <span class="nomobile">&nbsp;</span>[[File:Mana Blessing.png|25px]] Mana Blessing: +20 Max [[Mana]]
*Option 2: [[File:Armor Blessing.png|25px]] Armor Blessing: +20 Max Armor
*Option 3: [[File:Speed Blessing.png|25px]] Speed Blessing: +3 Run Speed

Blessings max out at +100 Max Armor, +100 Max [[Mana]], and +9 Run Speed.

Players have access to three rerolls per match. Rerolling cycles to the next Boon Set, with no repeats of prior choices.

'''''Note''': If a boon option is maxed out (Either equipment rarity or a Blessing) you will be offered a different option.''
<br>
''If you've maxed out all Blessings, Minor [[File:Minor Mana Blessing.png|25px]] Mana Blessings & [[File:Minor Armor Blessing.png|25px]] Armor Blessings (+5 Mana / Armor) will be offered in their place indefinitely.''

===Dominion-specific Mechanics===

*Players have the ability to [[Recall]] to The Merchant if they have any Boon Gems by holding down the [[Gameplay#PC_Controls|Use key]] for 6 seconds.
**Recalling restores health and armor to full before spawning them above their recall location.
*Upon being exiled, the player will visit The Merchant and respawn after 15 seconds above a non-contested zone they control.
**If their team does not control any zones, they will respawn at a starting spawn location instead.
*Sorceries start on cooldown after [[Recall|Recalling]] or respawning.
*When exiled, the player will always drop a random [[Scroll]], but no other equipment or [[Consumables]].
*If there's a team size disparity, the disadvantaged team respawns 2 seconds faster for each missing player.
*Players start with '''70''' Max [[Mana]] instead of 50.

===Custom Dominion Matches===
*A minimum 2 parties of 3 players are required to join a match.
*Custom Matches last up to 15 minutes.
*The match will be played on the region of the player hosting the match.
*All player [[Progression]] is disabled during the matches. (XP, Crowns, Accolades, Quests etc.)
