About Mystic Kingdoms gameplay
Q: What type of game is Mystic Kingdoms?
A: Mystic Kingdoms is a fast-paced 5v5 arena battle game with a unique balance of PvP and PvE gameplay. Matches are quick, dynamic, and action-packed, with many different ways to contribute to your team's victory. Fight, loot, capture, or defend -- the choice is yours!
Q: What’s the goal of the game?
A: Players work together as members of a five-player team to capture up to three zones and defeat opponents. The first team to reach 1000 points, or the most points at the end of a 10-minute game, wins.
Q: How do you earn team points in a game?
A: In addition to earning individual XP, players can also earn points towards their team point total. Team points are rewarded for:
- Destroying NPCs with a difficulty level of 3, 4 or 6
- NPCs with a difficulty level of 3 or 4 reward 1 points each
- NPCs with a difficulty level of 6 reward 3 points each
- Capturing zones
- 1 point is rewarded per occupied zone for approximately every 1 second occupied per zone
- Player knockouts
- 10 points are awarded per player knockout
- Destroying the map boss
- 100 team points are rewarded for destroying the boss
Q: How does character leveling work?
A: You can increase character experience (XP) by defeating other players and NPCs, discovering loot, destroying numina crystals, and most importantly, capturing points and defeating defenders.
Q: How do I earn in-game currency and what do I spend it on?
A: In-game currency can be earned in many different ways. Numina crystals can be found around the map and broken for random loot, which may include in-game currency. Players can also obtain currency randomly through locked and unlocked chests, and by defeating NPCs.
Q: How do purchasing defenders work at capture points?
A: After a capture point has been secured by your team a store will appear in game in the upper right-hand corner of your screen. The store will have three options for adding defenders to defend your zone: grunts, ranged, brawlers, and champions. Defenders can be purchased for varying costs that increase with defender strength level. The store has one button that cycles through defender options beginning with lowest strength (grunts) to highest strength (champions). Tap and hold to complete the purchase.
Q: What triggers a boss spawn on the map?
A: Bosses spawn on the map midway through a match. The map boss spawns when one of these moments occurs:
- 60% through the match (the sixth minute 6 of a ten-minute match) OR
- When a team reaches 60% of the total possible match points (i.e., 600 of 1000 points)
Q: What are treasure chests? What do they contain? How do I open locked treasure chests?
A: Chests are purple boxes with varied locations per map. Chests contain opportunities for loot in game that randomly include: XP, in-game currency, or keys for locked chests.
- Unlocked chests: Players can open unlocked chests by navigating their character in front of a chest and selecting the OPEN option that appears on screen next to the chest.
- Locked chests: Players can open locked chests by obtaining keys. Keys can be randomly obtained from defeating NPCs (Level 3), opening chests, and breaking energy crystals.
Q: How do I earn cosmetics? How do I equip them?
A: All character cosmetics in Mystic Kingdoms are currently unlocked for a limited time. More character cosmetics will be available at a later date. Character skins can be selected in the “Collection” menu located on the home screen. Once in the “Collection” menu, select your character and toggle through the available options located under abilities. Profile cosmetics (icons, titles, frames) can be unlocked by leveling up your account while playing the game.
Q: Can the game end in a tie?
A: Yes, but it’s rare that both teams have the same score at the end of a match. In this case, both teams get the winning bonus.

A: Custom matches are not yet available in Mystic Kingdoms alpha, but this is a feature we’d like to add in the future.
