Leaderboards, Barracks and Archives
Two screens in the Progression section of the main menu show what you’ve achieved: the Leaderboards, to measure yourself against other players, and the Barracks, your personal record. The Barracks open at level 2 and the Leaderboards at level 12, each with its guided tour and reward (see Levels, ranks and prestige).
Ranked matches
Only ranked matches count for the leaderboards, for the best round on your profile and for the round goals of challenges and achievements. A match is ranked if:
- it starts at round 1 (a match launched at a higher starting round isn’t);
- it isn’t the beginners’ guided match;
- the difficulty isn’t Easy (see Lobby and match settings).
The Barracks history marks the others as “Unranked.” Before level 10, the matches you start are played on Easy, so they aren’t ranked.
Leaderboards
First pick the map (Ker-Ys or Nec Mergitur), then the leaderboard:
| Leaderboard | What counts |
|---|---|
| Highest round | The highest round reached in a ranked match. |
| Kills | Your total kills across all your ranked matches on the map. |
| Level | Prestige, then total XP earned. This leaderboard is shared by all maps. |
| Awakening of Ys / Last Metro | The map’s main Easter egg completed fastest (match time). |
Filters narrow down the list:
- squad size (All, Solo, Duo, Trio, Quad), for highest round and the Easter egg;
- difficulty (Normal or Realistic), except for level;
- Global or This Discord server: the latter only keeps matches played from the same Discord server. It’s available when you play from the Discord Activity or in a server-linked lobby.
Each leaderboard shows the top 100; in a tie, whoever set the score first ranks higher. For rounds and the Easter egg, the Squad column shows who you played with. Your own position is shown below the list.
Squad-size leaderboards are separate: a great Solo or Duo match is ranked among matches of the same size, not against four-player squads.
The leaderboards are also public on the ANKOU website, without logging in, and every player has a public profile there with their leaderboard positions, stats and latest matches. See Playing in Discord.
The Barracks
The Barracks gather your player identity and your whole history, in six tabs.
Ranks & prestige
Your player card: name, title, emblem, level and XP to the next level, with your upcoming unlocks. This is where you enter prestige at level 55 (see Levels, ranks and prestige). The tab also shows every rank tier and the prestige emblems.
Emblems
Your emblem is shown next to your name, visible to every player. Choose Automatic to have it follow your rank and prestige, or pick an unlocked emblem:
- Ranks, Prestiges and Master of Ys: one per rank tier, per prestige, and a Master of Ys emblem that evolves every hundred levels;
- Achievements & challenges: rewards from achievements and challenges;
- Special: main Easter eggs and referrals;
- Battle Pass and Events: pass rewards;
- Shop: the animated emblems from shop bundles.
A locked emblem tells you how to get it.
Titles
Your title is shown under your name. “Cabin Boy” is available from the start; the others come from:
- level: “Ker-Ys Sailor” (10), “Sea Dog” (30), “Admiral of Ker-Ys” (55);
- prestige: “Ferryman of Souls” (I), “Tomb Watcher” (V), “The Ankou” (X), “Master of Ys”;
- Easter eggs: “Liberator of Ys” (Ker-Ys), “Boatman” (Nec Mergitur);
- achievements, the final tier of some challenges and the Battle Pass;
- the Hideout’s Trophy room: each trophy on display gives a title (see The Hideout);
- referrals: “Herald of the Ankou” at 5 confirmed recruits (see Bring your friends);
- the shop: “Ferryman of the Karrigell” with the Ankou’s Cart bundle.
Stats
Your career numbers: kills, best round, accuracy, headshot share, time played, then the details by group (Combat, Survival, Economy & map) and the Easter eggs completed on each map. Your favorite weapons are ranked by kills, with their level, next to the breakdown of your kills by weapon class.
Archives
The Archives collect, map by map, what you’ve discovered: Project Morgane radio transmissions, secrets and Easter egg documents. What you haven’t found yet shows as “??? — Undiscovered.” The Archives are kept after a prestige.
History
Your last 10 matches: date, map, round reached, squad, kills, points and XP earned. An unranked match or one started at a higher round is flagged, and the Easter egg time is shown when you completed it.
