+1 Upgrade Per Kill PvP Tips: Upgrades and Survival

Build and protect your upgrades

Each kill advances your gear one step, and death resets your upgrades to zero. The HUD counts upgrades out of 34. The armor ladder runs from Leather through Copper, Iron, Full Diamond, Ruby, Shadow, and Prism to MAXED.

When deciding whether to take another fight or retreat, consider how many upgrades you would lose on death. Progress up the ladder depends on surviving between kills.

Choose fights for the reward you want

The free-for-all arena includes crits, knockback, and armor. Keep those mechanics in mind when choosing a fight; an upgrade gained from a kill is lost if you die afterward.

Hunting a player with high upgrades grants bonus XP. That makes such players useful targets when XP is your priority, but the bonus does not remove the risk to your own upgrade run.

Recover from a high-upgrade death

If you die at a high upgrade, a Gear Saver can preserve your armor. Consider using one when you want to keep the armor from that run.
