How to: Squads

Squads are teams of four users who join forces to earn bonuses, take part in competitions, and unlock rewards together.

Each squad is managed by a leader, who controls the squad composition.

The main purpose of any squad is participation in Squad Wars.

Squad War — how competitions work

Every month, the platform hosts team-based competitions for squads called Squad Wars.
They start on the first day of the month at 00:00 GMT and divide the month into three equal stages.

During each stage:

• each squad member can publish 1 test and 1 post on behalf of the squad;
• a squad can publish no more than 3 tests and 3 posts per stage in total;
• all published content must be unique and must not overlap by content type.

Content published on behalf of the squad grants rating points:

• to the author of the content;
• to the squad — only within the current stage.

Once a stage ends, previously published content no longer contributes points to the squad. Squad members may then publish new content in the next stage.

Important: each stage includes a bonus for a random content type, which is announced in advance.
Tests of this type grant double victory points to the squad — use this bonus wisely.

Squad War rewards

At the end of each Squad War, all actively participating members of the top 3 squads receive legendary rewards for their most successful content:

• one reward for tests;
• one reward for posts.

In addition, these authors receive:

• animated cosmetic avatar effects with a customizable glow color (for 1 month);
• a flying sword icon orbiting the avatar (permanent).

Additional bonuses

The “Quality Mark” and “Editor’s Choice” awards provide an additional promotion boost for content published as part of Squad Wars.

Even if you are not aiming for top placements, using this opportunity is still highly beneficial. Give it a try — the results may pleasantly surprise you.

Effective communication is key to a squad’s success.

That’s why every squad has a group chat, where members can communicate, discuss strategies, and plan their actions.
