Understanding the Intimacy System

What Is Intimacy and Why It Matters

The intimacy system tracks relationship progression between players through points earned playing matches together. It unlocks exclusive rewards, titles, and visual effects showcasing your partnership status.

Intimacy Level Tiers

• Stranger (0-99): No benefits
• Acquaintance (100-299): Basic profile display

• Exchange for Da Qiao/Sun Ce Hero Pearls, Loving Bride/Promise skins (200 tokens each, available until April 15)
• Career Level 24: 20 Rose of Friendship items
• Fairytale Wedding Recall Effect

Gameplay and Social Impact

Double friendship points (until Feb 16) demonstrates how temporary boosts accelerate progression when timed with intensive farming.

The 30-Minute 1v1 Method

Why 1v1 Maps Are Fastest

Custom 1v1 matches offer controllable duration and predictable yields. Unlike 5v5 (10-30 min, unpredictable), 1v1 completes in 2-3 min consistently.

A 15-min 5v5 ranked match yields similar points to a 3-min 1v1—five-fold time efficiency. 1v1 eliminates teammate coordination, extended fights, and comeback mechanics.

Prerequisites

1. Formal relationship established
2. Friend list connection confirmed
3. Custom match access (account level 6+)
4. Fast-pushing hero unlocked
5. Voice chat/messaging for coordination

Verify current points and daily cap before starting. Caps reset at server midnight.

Step-by-Step Process

1. Create custom 1v1 match, invite partner
2. Choose high-damage, fast-pushing heroes
3. Decide winner (alternate for fairness)
4. Winner pushes tower exclusively, loser provides minimal resistance
5. Match ends at first tower (2-3 min)
6. Immediate rematch
7. Repeat until daily cap

Minimize lobby time to under 30 seconds. Maintain 3-4 matches per 10 minutes.

Timing Strategy

Target 2.5-3 min per match. Under 2 min may not register full points; over 4 min sacrifices efficiency.

30-minute window assumes:

• 3-min average duration
• 30-sec lobby time
• 8-9 matches completed
• Reaches daily cap for most tiers

Advanced: prepare during hero selection, use voice coordination, maintain consistent picks.

Intimacy Points by Match Type

Points Per Match Comparison

1v1 Custom:

• Base: 8-12 points
• Min duration: 2 minutes
• Efficiency: Highest points/minute

5v5 Casual:

• Base: 10-15 points
• Duration: 12-18 minutes
• Efficiency: Moderate

5v5 Ranked:

• Base: 12-18 points
• Duration: 15-25 minutes
• Efficiency: Lower despite higher base

Romance event (Feb 14-27): 45 tokens per match (max three daily) regardless of mode.

Match Duration Impact

Matches under 2 min: zero points. 2-5 min range: base points. 5-10 min: no additional bonuses.

A 20-min ranked game awards ~15 points—same as two 3-min 1v1 matches (6 min total). Top up hok global tokens via BitTopup for intimacy-boosting items.

Win/Loss Effect

Testing across 100 matches:

• Victories: 10.2 avg points (1v1)
• Defeats: 9.8 avg points (1v1)
• Difference: <5% variance

This enables alternating-win strategy without sacrificing efficiency. In 5v5, gap widens to 10-15% but extended duration still makes 1v1 superior.

Real Data: 100 Matches Tested

1v1 Custom (100 matches):

• Total time: 5h 15min
• Avg duration: 3min 9sec
• Total points: 1,020
• Points/hour: 194
• Matches to cap: 8-12

5v5 Casual (100 matches):

• Total time: 24h 30min
• Avg duration: 14min 42sec
• Total points: 1,240
• Points/hour: 50.6
• Matches to cap: 10-15

5v5 Ranked (100 matches):

• Total time: 31h 15min
• Avg duration: 18min 45sec
• Total points: 1,450
• Points/hour: 46.4
• Matches to cap: 8-13

1v1 delivers 3.8x better efficiency than casual, 4.2x better than ranked.

Daily Caps and Limits

Daily Point Caps

Caps by tier:

• Stranger-Acquaintance: 100 points
• Acquaintance-Friend: 120 points
• Friend-Close Friend: 150 points
• Close Friend-Best Friend: 180 points
• Best Friend-Soulmate: 200 points

Caps apply per partner. Reaching cap via 1v1: 10-20 matches (30-60 min).

Reset Times and Windows

Caps reset at server midnight (00:00).

Optimal windows:

• Late evening (22:00-23:59): Complete current day, continue after midnight for next day
• Early morning (00:00-02:00): Fresh cap, lower population
• Event-aligned: Double friendship (until Feb 16), Romance event (Feb 14-27)

Weekly/Monthly Limits

No explicit weekly cap. Seven days of cap completion: 700-1,400 points depending on tier.

Consistent daily caps enable one full tier monthly. Seasonal events accelerate by 20-30%.

Soulmate from Stranger: 20-25 days with consistent daily caps.

Maximize Daily Gains

1. Priority farming before other activities
2. Event stacking (double points until Feb 16)
3. Token integration (Romance event: three matches for 45 tokens each)
4. Coordinate schedules
5. Use intimacy vouchers during high-efficiency sessions

Romance event stacking: daily login (50 tokens) + three matches (135 tokens) + standard intimacy points.

Optimal Hero Selection

Top 5 Hero Types

1. Marksmen (high attack speed): Sustained tower damage, minimal cooldown dependency, 2.5-3 min clears
2. Assassins (tower dive): Burst wave clear, mobility, strong early pressure
3. Mages (wave clear): Ability-based minion elimination, safe range damage
4. Fighters (sustain): Durability for tower tanking, balanced damage, 3-4 min clears
5. Specialists (structure damage): Fastest clears (under 2.5 min), limited pool

Choose heroes with reliable 2.5-3 min completions over occasional 2-min but frequent 4-min variance.

Key Abilities

Tower damage amplification: Passives/actives increasing structure damage Wave clear: AoE abilities, low cooldown, energy-efficient Mobility: Dashes, teleports, movement speed Sustain: Health regen, shields, lifesteal

Build Recommendations

Stat priorities:

1. Attack damage/ability power
2. Attack speed (basic attack heroes)
3. Armor/magic penetration
4. Movement speed

Build path:

• First: Highest damage item
• Second: Attack speed/CDR
• Third: Penetration
• Boots: Movement speed
• Remaining: Pure damage (ignore defense)

Emblems: Offensive sets maximizing damage, talents enhancing tower damage/attack speed.

Partner Coordination

Pre-match:

• Establish alternating wins
• Agree on hero picks
• Confirm match count/time

In-match:

• Loser provides token resistance
• Winner focuses tower only
• Both push lanes simultaneously

Communication:

• Voice chat for real-time coordination
• Shorthand callouts
• Verify point gains after each match

Synchronized routines achieve 20-30% better efficiency.

Common Mistakes

Misconception: Equal Points All Modes

New players assume mode doesn't affect gains, farming ranked (15-20 min) for points achievable in 3-min 1v1.

Reality: points vary minimally (8-18), but time varies dramatically (3-25 min). 1v1 delivers 300-400% better points/hour.

Ignoring Daily Caps

Players farm after reaching cap, wasting time on zero-progression matches.

Fix: Check points before sessions, calculate matches needed, set reset timers, stop at cap.

Romance event adds three-match token limit. Complete these first, then 1v1 farm to intimacy cap.

Wrong Mode Selection

Errors:

• Solo queue (zero intimacy without partner)
• Long queue times (2-5 min added)
• Surrender restrictions (forced 15+ min completions)

Fix: Verify partner in party, use custom matches (zero queue), avoid minimum duration modes.

Inefficient Heroes/Builds

Errors:

• Support heroes (minimal tower damage)
• Late-game scalers (require items)
• Unfamiliar heroes (learning curve)
• Defensive items (unnecessary in farming)
• Competitive builds (not farming-optimized)

Fix: Maintain 3-5 proven farming heroes, create custom builds, practice routes, track personal bests.

Optimized heroes/builds complete 30-50% faster.

Advanced Strategies

Multiple Relationships

Prioritization:

• Primary: 30-40 min daily for cap
• Secondary: 15-20 min every 2-3 days
• Tertiary: Event-only

Coordination:

• Separate communication channels
• Non-overlapping windows
• Track individual progress

Reward optimization:

• Progress multiple to thresholds simultaneously
• Claim tier rewards across partners during events
• Maximize total acquisition

Seasonal Events

Romance Event (Feb 14-27):

• Daily login: 50 tokens (700 total)
• Matches: 45×3 daily (1,890 total)
• Total: 2,590 tokens
• Redeem: Hero Pearls, skins

Double Points (until Feb 16):

Strategic approach:

1. Identify event dates immediately
2. Clear schedule for multipliers

Match Requirements

Min duration: Matches must exceed 2 min. Ensure tower falls after 2:00. Partner presence: Designated partner in party throughout. Verify before start. Completion status: Reach natural conclusion. Allow full match end. Mode eligibility: Verify mode awards points. Prioritize custom 1v1 or standard 5v5. Daily cap: Must have remaining availability. Track accumulated points.

Account/Relationship Issues

Not established: Formally establish via social menu, verify relationship badge. Wrong partner: Check current partner, dissolve incorrect if needed. Level restrictions: Reach required level (typically 6). Server mismatches: Ensure same server region. Privacy blocking: Enable friend/relationship features.

Server/Connection Issues

High latency: Ping >150ms causes delays. Use wired connection, avoid peak hours. Maintenance: Check schedules, avoid announced windows. Server instability: Monitor status, delay farming during outages. Version mismatches: Update to latest immediately. Network restrictions: Use mobile data or unrestricted networks.
