FAQ
Q. What rules apply when battling in this Battle Frontier?
A. Each facility will have rules you must follow. Read them before challenging.

Q. How can I arrange a Frontier Battle?
A. You should vm/pm the Brain you wish to battle, and try to arrange a battle time with him or her. Or find them on their clans chat or Po channel

Q. What should I do if the Brain is on a different time zone to me?
A. The challenger is expected to arrange the battle to the leaders time zone. This should not be too much of an issue, as given any two time zones, there should be at least an hours worth of free time overlap in a week!

Q. What do I do with my Frontier Symbols?
A. Most people will put their symbols or case in their signatures. This can be done by right-clicking the image and selecting properties. Copy and paste the image's web address in your signature settings, using the following vB code.
.

Q. How do I become a Frontier Brain?
A. Don’t ask. By battling your way through the league you will show your skills which will attract our attention and we will approach you. However we will seldom allow applications

The Ops have been updated as of post 2026

Champions:
Congrats you have reached the end of your journey or have you once you defeat the league you will become the champion and will have to defend your title from the opposing challengers whom have earned all the symbols after you. Once a champion is defeated a new one will take over and the struggle to remain on the throne will begin again.

Rules of the champion:
1) You may only challenge them when you have 10 Brain symbols and all 4 Elite symbols
2) When a champion loses in a Bo3 they are dethroned
3) All Champion tiers change each and every round
4) The Champion may challenge the league to obtain all 21 symbols if they wish :)
5) You must wait 72 hours before a rechallenging the champion.

Ways champion battle works:
- Bo3
- 1st battle Challengers Tier Choice
- 2nd Batlle Champions Tier Choice
- 3rd Battle BW2 OU
- The Champion and challenger must both know about the two chosen tiers at least 24 hours prior to the match.
This means both players must discuss this in vm/pm/xat/po channel.
The Choices must be announced in thread 24 hours prior to the match

Score: WIN 2-0, both GG's minus a crit in each match that tilted the match towards my favor. Not sure if it was game changing, but it certainly didnt help him.

For those of you challenging Brains from Crystalline Guard, the easiest way to find us is by joining our Channel #Crystalline Guard on PO.
We always meet up there and some of the Brains from the other clans stop by there as well.
Happy Battling!
