Raid tournament opponent selection

[Buryyourdead]

I have been wondering how our initial raid tourney opponents are selected. Maybe I missed it somewhere but, is it similar to war in the TP of top legal heroes? Your very first opponent is worth X points, a win and 2nd is usually worth a few more ect.

If I win my first 5 to 10 and have an A defense. I’ll be ranked pretty high but not too 100. What determines who those top 100 face with higher available points then say myself.

Roster, tourney performance history, RNG?
Hopefully that made sense. Thank you

Matchmaking for Attacks

As of the Third Raid Tournament, initial matchmaking was based on your Top 5 strongest heroes that qualified for the Tournament’s rarity and elemental restrictions:

medal_sports [Apr 22, 2019] 3rd Raid Tournament! — 5* Bloody Battle, All Elements

Morning all, I double checked this from our developers and seems like there was incorrect information in the change log, it has been now corrected. Since previous Raid Tournament, this is valid:
“The difficulty of enemies that the players face at the beginning of the Tournament is now determined by the 5 best heroes in their roster.”

medal_sports [Apr 22, 2019] 3rd Raid Tournament! — 5* Bloody Battle, All Elements

To clarify, the best 5 heroes within the rarity and element limits of the current tournament.

medal_sports [Apr 22, 2019] 3rd Raid Tournament! — 5* Bloody Battle, All Elements

The special skills of the heroes are not taking into account, so for example in this tournament healers are indeed included for the matchmaking.

This was slightly amended as of the Fourth Raid Tournament:

• The difficulty of the opponents reduced slightly in the beginning of tournaments.

Check out this thread, it goes into much more detail based on data collection:

Raid Tournament Scoring Guide

Tournament Scoring Guide This guide is designed to help understand tournament scoring and how, in general, starting position and scoring progression happens with wins and losses. The guide is in two parts. The first helps to explain a player’s starting position in a tournament. The second helps detail how scoring progression happens. It should be noted that this guide deals in approximations. In other words, despite having a very good idea of the behavior of the scoring system and how ever…

Thank you! Id sifted through a few threads but had not found a solid answer. That explains a lot as usually 4* I start out versus fully emblemeed teams but that is where my highest TP at top would be.
