## PvP Menu

When you access the "PvP" menu, you'll notice that players are sorted by rank.

Everyone starts with the bronze rank.\
To rank up, you must accumulate star points :star: and competence points :green\_circle:.\
You can only attack players around your rank as you progress.

{% hint style="info" %}
For example, if you're Bronze and placed towards the end of the board, you won't be able to attack the diamonds at the top of the board.&#x20;
{% endhint %}

## Attacking other players

Attacking another player allows you to steal 0.5% of his star points :star: and reduce his lifetime  :heart: by 30 minutes in case of a win. If you lose, the opposite will happen: you will lose 0.5% of your star points  :star: and 30m of your lifetime :heart:.\
\
Success or failure is calculated using a winrate expressed in %.\
Here's how winrate is calculated: AttackerPoints / (AttackerPoints + DefenderPoints).\
Learn more about Competence Points here: [Train Your Veggie](/veggies-gotchi/gameplay/train-your-veggie.md)\
\
Note that you can only perform one attack every 2 hours, and your Veggie can only be attacked once every 2 hours. \
\
When a Veggie dies, 25% of its star points are redistributed to other living Veggies.
