🏅 Results by faction
A quick look at each faction's dynamics — for the full breakdown, head to the results page.
⚙️ Axiom
Axiom featured 5 heroes with very contrasted scoring dynamics. Sierra stood out with the largest single-hero gap in the entire contest (+73 pts), while Isaree saw the tightest race of all — four decks separated by just 4 points total.
⚔️ Bravos
Bravos showed consistently clear results across its 4 heroes. Atsadi delivered the sharpest margin in the faction (+29 pts), while Sol & Halua sparked the closest battle, with three decks separated by only 9 points.
🎵 Lyra
Lyra's 4 heroes produced moderate margins throughout, with no runaway scores. Auraq was the tightest contest — decks A and E tied for 2nd and 3rd place — while Nevenka showed the cleanest separation at the top.
🌿 Muna
Muna had the most decks in the contest, with heroes like Arjun (11 decks), Rin (11) and Turuun (13). That spread made scores tighter overall — Kauri was decided by a single point, and Turuun's top 3 were within 5 points of each other.
