FAST ANSWER / SCORING
Use the model to plan a replay, not to fake precision.
Community references discuss party size, average stats, meals, and traits as score inputs. The public result meter still does not expose an official formula, so record the visible result and test one modifier against a fixed baseline.
- Record the quest, party size, visible stat pressure, traits, meals, and meter result.
- Rewind to the same preceding state and change one modifier only.
- Compare the meter, result class, reward, and unexpected outcome separately.
- Label the finding as reproduced, community report, or unverified.
The reported model
Public guides discuss a party-size penalty, stat averages, meal bonuses, and trait adjustments. Those claims are valuable because they explain why a larger or apparently stronger party can still produce a surprising result, but they are not an official formula and may be quest- or build-sensitive.
- Party size: reported as a possible score pressure
- Visible stats: compare the relevant average or lead
- Meals and consumables: record the displayed effect
- Traits: record the knight, trait, and quest together
Build a controlled scoring test
Start with one quest and one baseline party. Rewind, change one variable, and repeat. A score change without a result-class change is still useful evidence, but it does not prove a universal threshold.
- Baseline: same quest, cycle, party, equipment, and choice
- Test A: change party size
- Test B: change the relevant stat lead
- Test C: change one meal or trait
- Compare the result screen before comparing rewards
Relationship to Quest Result Meter
Use Quest Result Meter for what the screen shows and this page for designing the test. Keep the two pages linked rather than duplicating a guessed formula in both places.
Patch 1.0.10 score corrections
The official 1.0.10 notes fix quest result scores summing incorrectly and correct several trait or mount calculations, including Arron's TIMID and BRUTAL handling, Angelica's FORTUNATE interaction with Arron, Rufus's competitor trait, and Colombus's flying-mount bonus. These corrections improve the build boundary but still do not reveal an official score formula.
- Re-test old score notes in build 1.0.10
- Keep trait, mount, party, and quest changes in separate test cards
- Compare the visible meter with the final result class
- Evidence state: official calculation corrections / formula remains unverified
Patch 1.0.11: hints and quest-duration corrections
The official 1.0.11 notes fix incorrect stat hints, some ultimatum quests that lasted longer than one cycle, and duplicated damage-risk or stat-requirement text in Volga Camp Serial Killer options. These changes affect what the interface and quest flow show, but they do not publish the underlying score formula.
- Fixed: incorrect stat hints
- Fixed: some ultimatum durations exceeding one cycle
- Fixed: duplicated Volga Camp Serial Killer requirement text
- Re-test the hint, duration, and result screen separately
- Evidence state: official UI/quest corrections / scoring formula remains unverified
Final battle tournament: current player question
A recent community question reports difficulty with the final battle tournament and a low visible failure bar. However, one report does not establish a universal party, stat threshold, or winning route. Treat it as a controlled replay target.
- Record the exact final quest, cycle, visible failure bar, party, stats, meals, traits, and equipment
- Repeat from the same checkpoint with one variable changed
- Compare the meter, Critical Success, ordinary success, failure, and Unexpected Outcome separately
- Evidence state: community report / needs verification
SEARCH QUESTIONS / SHORT ANSWERS
Common questions
How do you win the final battle tournament in Sovereign Tower?
There is not yet a confirmed universal party or stat formula. Record the final quest, failure bar, party, stats, traits, meals, equipment, and result, then replay from the same checkpoint while changing one variable at a time.
Does Critical Success change the final battle story?
Current community reports suggest Critical Success may affect damage without necessarily changing the plot, but this remains unverified. Keep Critical Success separate from Unexpected Outcome and record both the result screen and story branch.
Did Patch 1.0.11 change quest scoring?
The official notes fix incorrect stat hints, some ultimatum durations, and duplicated Volga Camp Serial Killer requirement text. They do not publish a universal scoring formula, so keep party, stat, trait, and result comparisons as controlled tests.
