Playing with friends increases the excitement of enjoying games to a new height. Whether you are playing with your squad or fighting against them, the enjoyment is always greater than fighting with strangers. Considering this fact, Marvel Snap has added a new game mode, named Friendly Battle, where players can fight against their friends. Sounds exciting, right? Let’s check out the method of competing with friends in the game.

Marvel Snap is a digital collectible card game released in 2022, but the Friendly Battle mode was not part of the game initially. It was added to the game later in 2023 and enables players to invite their friends for private battles. If you are planning to start the Marvel Snap journey, this fun feature shouldn’t be missed.

How to Play Against Friends in Marvel Snap

In this section, players need to create or join a lobby in Marvel Snap.

The mode is added to the game after almost one year of its successful run. However, if you haven’t ever played the game before, the Friendly Battle mode is not unlocked from the beginning for new players. Instead, to access the mode, you need to complete the Stakes tutorial. Doing this will instantly take you to level 10 and unlock the mode you are looking for.

Once the mode is unlocked, you can access it from the Game Modes tab of the game. Players will find this tab next to the main menu on the home screen of the game. From the Game Modes, choose Friendly Battle mode to begin your experience of fighting against your friends. To start the journey, first, create a Friendly Battle or join the one your friend has created.

Let us explain the process a bit more to make it clear. If you want to create your own lobby to invite your friends for a fight, click on the Create option. Doing so will generate a code that you can share with your friends. They can join your lobby using the code. Similarly, if your friend has created the lobby and you want to join it, get the code from them. Put the code in the designated box and click on the Join option to get into the lobby. 

Once both parties join the lobby, the game will begin. However, this game mode has a different set of rules to maintain. Players must understand them to conduct the match smoothly.

What Are the Rules for Friendly Battles in Marvel Snap?

Rules should be maintained to have a fair game in the Battle Mode.

If you have been playing Marvel Snap and trying to dive into the Friendly Battles against friends, you need to understand some basic rules that are exclusively created for this mode. The first is that if you are expecting rank rewards or boosters in this mode, you are going to be highly disappointed. This mode is not going to give you these.

The next thing that’s unique about this mode is that in Friendly Battle, each player will have 10 health, and the rules of the game require you to defeat your opponent in a few rounds to drain all 10 health. To put it simply, you need to deal 10 damage to win the game. 

Of course, the more rounds you lose, the more cubes you will lose. However, there’s a catch. If both players go beyond level 5 without either of them losing their health completely, players will snap for higher stakes. This process will be automatically triggered if you meet the criteria. 

That’s everything players should know to start a fight against their friends in Marvel Snap. The process may seem a bit confusing at the beginning, but with some practice, you will understand the rules properly. They will be easier to understand when playing the game.
