Scoring and social signals
How Heroes earn points from X engagement and what drives their performance.
Hero scores are based on real-time X engagement. The more attention a Hero generates, the more points they score. It's that simple on the surface, but understanding the details will give you an edge.
How Heroes Earn Points
Heroes earn points by posting content that drives engagement on X. Every interaction with their posts contributes to their score:
Views - How many people see their posts Likes - Direct positive engagement from their audience Comments - Replies that spark conversation Reposts - Content shared to other timelines Quotes - Retweets with commentary, showing deeper engagement
The scoring system weighs these metrics to reflect genuine engagement.
What Counts and What Doesn't
Only organic engagement counts. Fantasy Top's scoring system filters out bot activity, spam accounts, and artificial engagement. Metrics are adjusted to reflect real human interaction, not inflated numbers.
This means:
A Hero with 100K followers might score higher than one with 1M if their engagement rate is better
Viral moments matter more than follower count alone
Consistent posting and engagement beats sporadic activity
View-to-follower ratio is also considered. A Hero with 10K followers getting 100K views on a post is performing exceptionally well. The system recognizes these breakout moments.
Time Windows and Score Updates
Hero scores update continuously throughout the day as their posts gain engagement.
For Core Competition: Scores accumulate over the entire week-long tournament. A Hero who posts consistently will build points day by day. A Hero who goes viral on Wednesday can make up ground quickly.
For Arena: Same as Core Competitions.
For Prediction Markets: Each market defines its own time window. Some markets track engagement over a single day, others might cover a week or specific event timeframe. Always check the market details.
Edge Cases and Special Situations
What if a Hero deletes a post? If a Hero deletes a post within 3 hours of posting, any points earned from that post will be removed from their score. If the post is deleted after 3 hours, any points earned will remain and scoring from that specific post will stop generating.
What if a Hero's account is suspended? If a Hero's X account is suspended during a competition, their score freezes at the point of suspension. No new points can be earned.
What if a Hero goes private? Private accounts still generate points but their potential engagement dramatically decreases from limited visibility on the timeline.
Do spaces, DMs, or other X features count? Currently, scoring focuses on public posts and their engagement. Spaces attendance and other features are not directly scored.
Why This Matters
Understanding scoring helps you:
Pick Heroes strategically - Know who's likely to post and engage
Time your entries - Recognize when a Hero is in an active phase
Spot value - Find underrated Heroes before they go viral
Make better predictions - Anticipate engagement patterns in Prediction Markets
The best players don't just follow their favorite personalities. They understand posting patterns, engagement cycles, and which Heroes are entering high-activity phases.
