PvP modes and hardcore server ruleset

PvP is presented as a major pillar of Scars of Honor, with an emphasis on fairness, competition, and skill expression. The showcase highlights two main PvP formats—Morning Pass and Talents Ring—and also announces a separate hardcore server environment.

Morning Pass battleground

Morning Pass is the game's battleground mode. It is described as a 5v5 conflict set inside an ancient fortress shaped by long warfare.

To keep matches fair, level and gear advantages are disabled. Instead of relying on pre-existing character power, players fight using resources earned during the match. The captions mention looting temporary champion gear and securing soul jars as part of the battleground's internal progression and objective play.

The mode had previously been shown in 2024, and feedback from playtests and an appearance at Brazil Game Show is said to have informed further improvements made during 2025.

Talents Ring arena

Talents Ring is the arena mode. It is described as fast, unforgiving, and centered on pure skill, positioning, timing, and quick decisions.

The showcase mentions several supported formats, including 1v1v1, 2v2v2, same-class mirror fights, mixed 1v1, and 2v2. In the explanatory segment, the arena rules are summarized as a one-round fight with a five-minute time limit in which players must eliminate the enemy team or opponent.

The mode is framed as the place to prove class mastery or duo coordination without excuses.

Hardcore servers

A separate hardcore realm is announced for players seeking higher stakes in both PvE and PvP. The showcase describes this as more than simply the standard game with increased difficulty. Instead, the entire experience is said to be tuned around risk, consequence, and mastery.

The captions do not provide a full ruleset for hardcore play, but the intended identity is clear: victories are meant to feel more earned, and mistakes are meant to matter more than on standard servers.
