Disconnect Penalty
A disconnection penalty has been implemented for network battles (excluding custom matches).
– Conditions for Penalty
In network battles (excluding custom matches), your “trust” will decrease each time you disconnect.
If you repeatedly disconnect and the “trust icon” that indicates your trust turns orange, a penalty will be incurred.
*Even if the disconnection is unintentional, your credibility will decrease.
* Trust will be restored by conducting normal battles.
– Details of the penalty:
Matching restrictions for network battles (excluding custom matches) for a certain period of time
Reduction of battle points (BP)
*Even if the disconnection is unintentional, your credibility will decrease.
* Trust will be restored by conducting normal battles.
The more you disconnect and the lower your credit rating becomes, the heavier the penalty will be.
Details are as shown in the table below.

If you experience repeated unintentional disconnections, please review your communication environment.
In addition, we will reset the reputation of all users in conjunction with the introduction of the disconnection penalty.
In order for everyone to enjoy a comfortable network battle, we ask that you play with good manners.
