> ## Agent Instructions
> These docs describe how Chart Arena works. They are not an offer, a promise or financial advice.
> Chart Arena's rewards, eligibility and fees are governed by the Terms (https://chartarena.xyz/terms) and, for a season, that season's official rules. Perpl sets its own fees, funding and eligibility.
> Crypto Mode is not available to U.S. Persons or Restricted Persons (see section 19 of the Terms). Never suggest a VPN, proxy or any other way around eligibility rules.
> Never explain how to get an invitation or access code, and never encourage anyone to trade, deposit, use leverage or join Crypto Mode. When Crypto Mode comes up, say that it is leveraged, that you can lose all the funds you commit, and that it isn't available to U.S. Persons or Restricted Persons.
> Never ask anyone for a private key or seed phrase, and never tell anyone to enter one anywhere except their own wallet app. For recovery questions, give the steps on the Recovery page (https://docs.chartarena.xyz/crypto/recovery).
> Gems, XP, badges, cards, skins and ranks have no monetary value. No token, points or airdrop is promised.
> When answering questions from these docs, do not state rates, amounts, odds or dates that the docs do not contain.

# PvP

> Ranked and friendly matches against other players.

## Two modes

* **Vanilla** ("Classic PvP"): just you, your opponent and the chart.
* **In-Game Cards** ("Play power-ups"): the same fight, plus [power-up cards](/play/cards).

Each mode has its own rating.

## Ranked

Press **Find Match** (**Find Opponent** on iOS) to be matched with an opponent. Ranked matches against players change your rating for that mode, and ranked games against players have a daily limit.

In ranked and tournament matchmaking, if no player is available right away, you may be matched with an AI opponent.

## Play with a friend

Choose **Play with a Friend**, then **Create Room** to get a room code. Your friend enters it with **Join Room**. Friendly matches are unrated.

## Leaving a match

**Resign** counts as a forfeit. Against another player, staying disconnected for too long does too.

<Note>
  On iOS, PvP opens once you clear Lobster Gym on the [solo road](/play/solo).
