Introduction of the Illuvium Levithan All-Star Leaderboard

[vagrant kindle]

TLDR:
This proposal concerns the introduction of the Illuvium Levithan All-Star Team Leaderboard. The leaderboard is intended not only to showcase the Illuvial collection achievements of an individual player but also to quantify the tactical performance of a team creator. But, at its core, this All-Star leaderboard leans more toward collecting and leveling up Illuvials.

Revised Proposal Based on Community Feedback:

1. Scope Clarification
   This leaderboard will track the statistical rankings of all NFT Illuvials in a player’s collection, not just those in the Team Builder (which I’ve since learned is currently inactive).

2. Scoring Formula
   The total All-Star Rank Score (X) is calculated as:
   X = A + (B × C)
   A: Sum of all Illuvials’ Combat Stats Scores in the collection
   B: Leviathan battle performance points
   C: Balancing coefficient (TBD)

3. Individual Illuvial Combat Score
   A weighted function of 8 core stats:
   Health, Resistance, Omega, Attack Damage, Attack Speed, Critical Damage, Critical Chance, Dodge Chance

(a, Not just TPI, because TPI is the modifier of all battle stats.
b, Stats are weighted differently per Illuvial class—for instance, Bulwarks assign higher priority to Health and Resistance, aligning with their core tank role. )

4. Duplicate Handling
   Only the highest-scoring duplicate of each Illuvial variant is counted.

5. Key Differentiation from Leviathan Leaderboard
   Official Leviathan Leaderboard: Primarily reflects player skill
   All-Star Leaderboard: Incentivizes diverse engagement by showing:

• OW activities: Leveling up Illuvials
• Leviathan participation: Battle experience
• Collection strategy: Acquiring high-stat NFTs
  (Unlike the skill-focused Leviathan board, this creates multiple progression paths.)

Is this Leaderboard for NFT player only or for all players?

Only Levithan mode currently supports the Team Builder feature- that includes TPI calculations and all that. So yeah, for now it's Leviathan-exclusive.

Hi @vagrant kindle thanks for taking the time to put this up

1. when you talk about team builder does it means we would have to build and choose our team in advance?

2. what is the purpose of the x score here. Seems like a leaderboard takes those point into account, does that mean if we both have 1579 elo and my avg team is 2000 x points but yours is 1800 x points you are placed higher?

If you are a NFT illuvial holder, you have to use team builder to build your Team , then you can use this team to play in Leviathan.
I think it's a leaderboard about the Team you builded and how you use this team to play , it's a leaderboard for both NFT collection and game play skill.
You would have to collect better TPI, play better and play more to be placed higher.

Interesting idea. This proposal is an evolution of the section with players' teams, cool. Such a rating will definitely serve not only as an incentive for those who are constantly looking for new strategies in the arena, but also for educational purposes for newcomers as guidelines, If you make a convenient menu (table) in such a rating, so that it would be more understandable for those who study.

Hi @honest portal Glad you ask. As Taker pointed out earlier.

1. Yeah, the Team Builder can be seen as a place for NFT players to organize and manage their NFTs. Each Team Builder supports up to 50 NFTs, and when you play Leviathan, you’ll draw from this pre-built deck. You should be able to access the Team Builder interface directly within the Leviathan game.

2）Perhaps I didn't fully understand your point earlier - let me revise my previous response as it wasn't quite appropriate. What you mentioned is possible, because these two leaderboards could indeed serve different purposes. While the Leviathan ranking hasn't been officially released yet, based on current information, I believe it will still primarily rank players according to battle results.

Hi. To be honest, I’m a bit confused.

At first, I supported the proposal because I thought it would be something like the collection leaderboard from Beyond — meaning: all Illuvials’ TPIs (once updated) would be summed up, and that total would determine the overall ranking.

But if I understood correctly, you're suggesting something different that involves the Team Builder.

At the moment, the Team Builder is a completely inactive feature. It was previously used for the Ascendant mode, which is currently removed from the game. There's not even a confirmed date for its return after the rework — so it’s definitely not something that will happen in the near future.

In Gauntlet Leviathan, the Team Builder isn’t used. The player’s entire collection is available instead.

Maybe creating a leaderboard based on the total TPI of a player's entire collection would be more relevant? What do you think?

[stiff birch]

now I'm also confused ))
it seemed to me that this sentence serves as a rating for meta-assemblies of teams.. if in simple words, you assemble a team that wins and gains points in the rating, each victory of your team is rating points, also if someone copied your team, but you were the first to come up with this team, points in the rating are added to you, because you came up with it.. something like a race for the meta ))

I don't know where the truth is here, but it seems to me that the idea of ​​chasing the meta is not bad and it definitely enlivens the team builder)

[echo karma]

I don’t think there’s a direct connection between the quality of NFTs and the performance of a specific team build.

Showing a leaderboard of team builds with win rates is great — that’s what Dota Buff does.
Showing a leaderboard of big spenders is also good — that’s what Beyond does.

I believe it would be nice to implement both ideas, but keep them separate rather than linking them together.

[honest portal]

One of the best thing of the 8 player gauntlet format is the fact that all nfts are available and you can build any team, any time. The fact that your best team isnt always the same is really good for replayability

The Team builder was a feature used in ascendant and it showed to be a very important entry barrier to play. This feature was definitely negative, they said if/when they rework ascendant they would look for a way to remove it. This is certainly not something we want to bring into gauntlet imo

I like the general aim of increasing illuvials utility but i dont think this is it tbh

Hi @echo karma I appreciate your clarification on this matter. I wasn't aware the Team Builder was available in both of Leviathan's modes - 'Ascendant' and 'Gauntlet'. In any case, it's truly unfortunate that the Team Builder feature isn't being utilized. Anyway if there is a place to assemble all those Illuvial NFTs and players can then manually select which of these (Illuvials) to deploy in Leviathan battles, making the system much clearer.

And given the Team Builder’s current unavailability, I’ve already updated the main post accordingly. Let me know if this version is easier to understand!

Wow. Though this diverges from my initial concept, I appreciate the creativity here—it opens new possibilities.
