> [@Slypenslyde](#): > > My _guess_ is it’s a sliding average of your last 20 matches or so? It seems like it changes slowly if your team gets bigger. I’ve never tested if you can game it the other way. My guess is that it is based strictly on your inventory of troops. As you level and trait your troops, your hero power increases and your PVP results decrease. I’ve noticed with each new kingdom that comes out, my maximum PVP scores seem to decrease. If you’re interested in testing this, one possibility might be to disenchant _all_ copies of all the common and rare troops that you don’t regularly use to reduce your inventory of available troops. This might decrease your hero power in a meaningful way but it might also do nothing since the game remembers the level and traits of any troops that you fully disenchant. I personally tested the “move to a lower” guild strategy a little over a year ago and documented my results in a forum thread. That alone was surprsingly effective, raising my potential points from around 55 to 66 per battle (if I remember correctly). I’ll see if I can find those threads… Edit: here is a link to the thread with some good discussion and data. > [@This is why people are worried about GW. Can anyone explain?](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/this-is-why-people-are-worried-about-gw-can-anyone-explain/21747/69): > > @htismaqe @Rickygervais So, I just dropped from a top 5 guild to a more casual guild and played a few PVP battles. The points and gold available in my 3-trophy matchups increased dramatically. I had 60+ points available in 5 out of 6 matches. Before today, I seldom saw 50 point options. If someone deliberately kept their kingdoms down to suppress bonuses, I wouldn’t be surprised if they could average 65 points or more, but I’m too far along to test any of this myself. BTW, I didn’t change guil… And here is a link to a discussion with even better data: > [@PVP Points seem to be very unbalanced](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/pvp-points-seem-to-be-very-unbalanced/21953/10): > > @Rickygervais, @htismaqe Here are the results for my first 41 PVP offers over last night and this morning. I accepted any battle with a PVP score of 60 or greater. Of those 41, 24 were 60 or greater, meaning that I skipped 17 battles at a cost of 17 gems. Of the 24 I did, 18 were 66 points, 4 were 60 and one each were 65 and 63. My record was 21 wins and 3 losses. The average offer to me was 60.1 and the average that I accepted was 64.8. Each of the three losses cost me exactly 3 points. … --- _[View the full topic](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/pvp-points-scoring/39937)._
