INSIDE THE GAME

Separate base preparation from an equal-conditions duel.

A strategy game connecting base defenses and attacking armies. Ruby Battles uses the same base and units for both players, so its decisions differ from ordinary progression.

An introduction from official sources. Installation, registration and gameplay were not performed. See the entry conditions below.

02 / DETAILA closer look at the gameplay

Compare defenses and attacking armies

Consider defenses together with the attacking army. The HQ documentation separates unlocking new options from upgrading existing troops and structures. Values may change, so this guide does not claim an optimal build order or a battle result.

Read each currency through its role

Read currencies separately too. The currency guide describes Ruby as earned through play, Sapphire as premium in-app currency and MAVIA as obtained outside direct gameplay. This does not establish a required first purchase or current yen prices.

Separate mode: Ruby Battles

Ruby Battles is a separate equal-conditions mode

In the dedicated Ruby Battles documentation, both players attack the same Ghost Base with the same randomly selected units. Stars take priority; reaching three Stars first wins immediately. If both finish with the same one or two Stars, destruction percentage decides, followed by shorter attack time if destruction is also equal. Read this equal-conditions mode separately from base building and army selection.

Ruby Battles — dedicated mode and scoring ·

Ruby deduction before and after matching

This separate mode spends Ruby according to the documentation. Ruby is not deducted during the search, cancellation during that search has no penalty, and deduction occurs when a match is found. Documented tiers, fees and rewards do not establish current prices or actual winnings, or the ordinary mobile edition’s free-play scope and initial entry conditions.

Sample notes, scoring and all reviews

Posts concern the Japanese iOS listing for Heroes of Mavia, not other regions, PC, Android, other apps or all trading experiences. Current applicability and accuracy of historical bug and earnings claims are unverified.

Separate metric: store star rating 4.1/5 · 56 ratings (including ratings without text) · A different population from this written-review sample.

Positive share = positive ÷ (positive + negative) × 100, rounded to an integer. Mixed, neutral and unclear posts are counted separately. This pilot withholds scores below 5 clear verdicts and marks fewer than 30 as provisional. These editorial thresholds do not establish statistical representativeness or an error margin.

Codex classified review titles and full text with recorded reasons; independent human validation has not been performed. Text sentiment can differ from stars or recommendation flags.

Up to 20 latest posts from the saved response are sampled, excluding future dates and duplicate IDs. Quotation selection does not determine the score. Source visibility and reviewer self-selection limit representativeness.

Written records returned 17 · Classified 17 · Outside the sample 0 (outside the latest-20 cap; none excluded for being negative)

App Store uses the latest-first feed for the stated storefront; Steam uses the English filter, all purchase types, recent order and the service’s off-topic filter. Returned text may be in another language. Scores are not pooled across platforms. Apple feed update times are shown in JST, not asserted as original posting dates. Recorded playtime can include loading screens.
