The Weekly League
The Weekly League is a seven day race that everybody runs in one global pool. A week opens and closes on Thursday at 20:00 Istanbul time, and the board wipes clean each time. You do not sign up. You enter the moment you score your first trophy.
Nothing carries over except the Renown you earned, so a bad week costs you your place and nothing else.
How a trophy is scored
There is one way to earn a trophy: hatch an egg. A trophy measures what your eggs produced this week, so fusing a pet in the Evolution Hub banks nothing at all. Your level, your coins and your net worth have no bearing on the score either.
The size of a trophy is the value of the pet that came out. Rarity, form and size all raise it, and the number is then pegged to your own world. Farming a shallow world you have long outgrown will not beat racing where you actually live.
The twelve finishing tiers and what they pay
The top hundred places are ranked absolutely, so on a small board a good week can land you inside a named tier outright. Everything past rank 100 is measured as a percentile, which keeps the lower tiers fair whether a thousand or a million people race. The percentile tiers only start paying anyone once the board is big enough for them to reach past rank 100.
Renown is permanent. It is never spent, it stacks week after week, and the same tier pays the same Renown no matter how crowded the board is.
| Tier | Who it covers | Renown | Prize |
|---|---|---|---|
| Champion | Rank 1 | 60 | 2 Secret boxes, a Singularity wheel ticket, a week of the Secret Hunter pass, 20 Secret Essence |
| Legend | Ranks 2 to 3 | 24 | 2 Eternal boxes, a Relic spin, 2 Alchemist spins |
| Master | Ranks 4 to 10 | 12 | 2 Galactic boxes, a Relic spin, 3 Cosmic spins |
| Elite | Ranks 11 to 25 | 6 | 3 Celestial boxes, 2 Alchemist spins, 3 Digsite shovels |
| Vanguard | Ranks 26 to 100 | 4 | 3 Mythical boxes, an Alchemist spin, 3 Digsite shovels |
| Luminary | Top 0.1 percent | 3 | 2 Mythical boxes, 2 Cosmic spins, 3 Digsite shovels |
| Contender | Top 1 percent | 2 | 3 Legendary boxes, 2 Cosmic spins, a Legendary lucky potion |
| Challenger | Top 5 percent | 1 | 2 Legendary boxes, a Cosmic spin, a Legendary lucky potion |
| Striver | Top 10 percent | 1 | 3 Epic boxes, a Cosmic spin, 2 Epic lucky potions |
| Finisher | Top 25 percent | 1 | 3 Epic boxes, a faster hatch potion |
| Participant | Top 50 percent | 0 | 3 Rare boxes, a faster hatch potion |
| Runner | Everyone with a trophy | 0 | A Rare box |
The egg on top
An egg rides on top of the tier prize and reaches down to the top ten percent of the board. Rank 1 takes 12 eggs, the top 1 percent takes 6, the top 5 percent takes 3 and the top 10 percent takes 2. While a season is running these are Season Eggs; between seasons the ladder pays a permanent Exclusive Egg instead.
Those are the numbers on a board of a hundred racers or more. On a smaller board the ladder pays less, and the scale is locked in when the week opens, so the prize you were shown is the prize you are paid.
Your place on the board
The League screen gives you two views. One is your own neighbourhood, the players just ahead of you and just behind you. The other is the global top list.
Standings are rebuilt on a schedule rather than the instant you hatch, so a fresh trophy takes its place at the next update. When the week closes your reward is written to your account as a pending prize and you have to go and claim it. Nothing lands in your bag on its own.
Colonies race too
Your colony is scored on the trophies its members earn during the same week. Finish in the top three and a gem pool opens, sized by the colony itself: 700 gems for every trophy-earning member in the first colony, 350 in the second and 210 in the third. A colony with fewer than three contributors is paid nothing, and tiny contributions only count partially toward the headcount, so an account that hatched one egg does not grow the pool.
The pool is split by contribution across everyone who earned trophies: more trophies means more gems, but the share grows gently the further you sit from the average. One member can take at most 2,100 gems a week. Contribute nothing and you get nothing.
The Renown floor
Renown has a floor that the prizes do not. Finish in the bottom half of the board and you mint no Renown at all, whichever tier paid your loot.
How do I earn trophies in Time Heroes?
By hatching eggs. Fusing a pet banks no trophy at all, and the size of a trophy is the value of the pet that hatched, pegged to your own world.
When does the Weekly League reset?
Every Thursday at 20:00 Istanbul time. The old week closes and pays out, and the new one opens on the same beat. Renown, which the top tiers pay, is permanent and never resets.
Do I get my Weekly League reward automatically?
No. When the week closes the reward is written to your account as pending and you have to claim it yourself.
