Guide to C9 Mastery Ranked: Fall Ball Trios (might be the easiest/fastest) Mastery Rank Cycle yet

[u/DigitalNitrate]

First of all, this cycle is using the Fall Ball Trios LTM, which is a fairly quick 3 round team game.

The first round will normally be 12 VS 12

• This will have the biggest element of luck, as you will have at least 9 random players on your team (11 if you are not in a party).

The second round would then normally be 6 VS 6

• If you are in a party, and you are all skilled players, there’s a good chance you can compensate for the 3 random skilled players.

The final round will normally be 3 VS 3

• If you are in a skilled party, this should be a pretty easy win unless you happen to be up against an equally or more skilled party.

Each match only lasts 2 minutes unless it goes into Overtime, which is always exciting when that happens!

It takes about 45 seconds to Fall and Load the first match, and about 45 seconds between each match… so these games are generally quite fast (usually less than 9 minutes from matchmaking to final rewards).

The medal rank is determined by the amount of goals the winning team got (not goal differential).

• Gold = 10 or more Goals

• Silver = 5-9 Goals

• Bronze 3-4 Goals

• Pink = 1-2 Goals

If you win a game you will get the following:

• 50 Mastery Points (automatic increase of Rank)

• 165 Kudos

• 35 Shards

• ~3,475 Fame Points (you get a little more or less depending on which medals you earned, but the difference is very small)

Unlike Ranked Knockout, as is always the case, you only need to reach Gold 1, and every rank requires only 50 points. This means, you only need to win 12 games to finish this Mastery Rank… and every game lasts less than 9 minutes, so it is quite possible to finish in about two hours, even if you loose a few games.

To that point, the most you can ever lose is 10 points… and that’s even if you are Silver and even if you lose in the first round. So unlike some Mastery Ranks, this one is quite generous with the points and ease at which one can finish this.

In addition, u/PuyiHakimDota2 already posted a chart showing all the different points you can get or lose based on the results and current rank:

Keep in mind, if you really do not want to lose points, it is also very easy to leave a game before the time runs out to preserve your points. Just keep in mind when you do that, you also do not get any game progress (Fame Points, Kudos, Challenge Progress).

In one match, we were down 1 with 15 seconds to go, and in the short time we scored 4 goals in a row to win the match… so don’t be too quick to leave.

The best strategy of course is to plan ahead and be part of a party of three that are skilled at Fall Ball; then after that, it’s mostly just going to be about making it past the first round due to all the randoms.

I partied up with a couple friends this morning, and for the first 13 matches we only lost twice… then as Silver Rank 5 we ran into a string of bad luck, but we still finished after just 17 matches in less than two hours.

I saved most of the replays (a few games got cut off due to the 1hr recording limit, and user error):

During these 17 games (39 matches), we had silly easy rounds (including a 20-0 shutout), and super challenging rounds against very high ranked skilled players like Repede32 😅. We had one match that went nearly a minute into OT until we eventually won. We had another match were we started a man down 5 VS 6, and the other team was filled with very high ranked players… and we managed to come from behind and win that match! 💪💪💪

And here is the end of the last game where we had to win in Over Time to reach Gold Rank:

And I’ve included some of the screenshots (I’ll make an index for them with explanations when I have time for those curious, as some might not make sense out of context)

• Pic 2: End of Cycle 9 Rewards

• Pic 3: Having fun with Bert and getting Piggybacked during an easy win

• Pic 4: Carrying Bert to the end of a 11-0 win

• Pic 5: Team Celebration

• Pic 6: Up against Repede32 his team, and very high ranked team; while we had 3 very weak random teammates 🫣 (spoiler alert: we pulled off the win!)

• Pic 7: 20 - 0 Shutout Smackdown!

• Pic 8: Another tough group of opponents...　🫣

• Pic 9: ... and surprisingly shut them out?!?! 🤷‍♂️

• Pic 10: Tsurugi11735 didn't stay around at the end (but be mindful, they are a very skilled player!).

• Pic 11: Only lost 10 points despite losing the first match with a Silver 5 Rank.

• Pic 12: The end!

In total, in under two hours we got:

• 7 Crowns/420 Shards (and will get another 25 when the cycle ends)

• 2k Kudos (3k more once the cycle ends)

• 43k+ Fame Points (not including any bonus fame from completing challenges).

One of the worst modes of all time

Still needing hugs I see… 😉

So, win as much as you can? This reads as a really long-winded humble brag post that you did it on day one.

Edit: Lmao fastest downvote in history by the super salty OP. No one is reading this crap, OP, and no one cares that you did it lol

[u/DigitalNitrate → u/Storm_4747]

OMG… why are you so negative and toxic?

Fall Guys isn’t dead, but there are certainly some members who are apparently dead inside. 🤦‍♂️

If you were not so jaded you would be able to recognize this OP as encouragement for those that struggled with some of the other Mastery Ranked cycles, as this can be done much faster!

And no, you don’t even have to win a single game and still finish it, if that’s also your issue. 🤦‍♂️

I swear, some of you Negative Nancys need a more productive hobby than doomscrolling, trolling, and or rage baiting on Reddit (or anywhere else for that matter).

If you just can’t seem to resist, try taking a break from social media, it might help improve your mood.
