Saturday-Sunday crew PvP events, top-16 regional rewards, and how to carry your crew to victory.
Crew Wars is the weekly Saturday-Sunday PvP event in Re:AOPG. Top crews in each region compete for Bounty, Beli, Awakening Stones, and a Champion title. This page is the full strategy — schedule, requirements, rewards, and the meta crew build for winning.
Crew Wars Schedule
Crew Wars runs every weekend:
- Saturday — open bracket, all qualifying crews.
- Sunday — top-16 finals.
- Match time — 19:00-23:00 UTC each day.
- Region — split into NA-East, NA-West, EU, Asia, Oceania.
- Format — 4v4 crew battles, single elimination until finals.
Crews need a minimum of 8 active members to enter. The minimum crew buff level is 8. The full crew setup walkthrough is on the How to join crew guide.
How to Qualify
To enter Crew Wars your crew needs:
- 8+ active members (login within last 7 days).
- Crew buff level 8+.
- Captain registered the crew by Friday 23:59 UTC.
- All members on the same regional server.
Registration opens Friday 18:00 UTC. The captain registers via the Crew Wars NPC at Marineford. The full Marineford guide is on the Bosses hub.
Match Format
Each Crew Wars match is a 4v4 knockout:
- 4 crew members enter the arena.
- The other 4 are substitutes (can swap between rounds).
- Match is best-of-3 rounds.
- Each round is 5 minutes.
- Last team standing wins the round.
Bans work like League of Legends: each team bans 1 Mythical and 1 race before the match. Banned fruits cannot be used by either team for the entire match. The full race tier list is on the Race tier list page.

Berry is the new PvP currency used at the Marineford Berry Shop. The Berry conversion rate is 10 Berry per bounty earned in the match. The Bounty and Berry farming page has the full Berry ladder.
Best Crew Wars Build
The meta 4v4 build is:
- Captain — Awakened Saiyan + Dragon Awakened + Godhuman + True Gryphon (lead DPS).
- Support 1 — Mink V2 + Light Awakened + Soru + Yoru V2 (burst assassin).
- Support 2 — Cyborg V4 + Magma Awakened + Sharkman Karate + Sword Saint (AoE clear).
- Tank — Fishman V2 + Sand Awakened + Water Kung Fu + Pirate King’s Sword (point tank).
This composition covers burst, AoE, mobility, and durability. The full build comparison is on the PvP tier list.
Crew Buff Level Requirements
Crew buffs add to your character stats. The buff levels:
| Buff level | Beli cost (cumulative) | Stat bonus |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1M | +1% all stats |
| 5 | 500M | +5% all stats |
| 8 | 50B | +10% all stats |
| 11 (max) | 317.4B | +15% all stats |
Minimum for Crew Wars is buff level 8 (50B Beli total). Most veteran crews run buff level 11. The full Beli ladder is on the Crew upgrades page.
Strategy Tips
- Ban the enemy’s strongest Mythical — usually Dragon or Light. Check the Devil Fruits tier list for the meta picks.
- Run a coordinated composition — don’t stack 4 of the same race. Mix DPS, support, tank.
- Use the round timer — if you’re losing the round, stall for the timer. Resets aren’t possible mid-round.
- Save Awakened Saiyan for round 3 — V4 transformation animation takes 2 seconds; that’s when enemies typically dive in.
- Coordinate ultimates — Dragon breath + Light burst combo can one-shot a tank.
How to Find a Crew Wars Crew
If your current crew isn’t eligible for Crew Wars:
- Top 16 crews in your region are listed on the Marineford Crew Wars NPC.
- Recruitment channels — official Discord #crews-recruitment channel.
- Crew finder NPC at Logue Town (random match).
The How to join crew guide covers the full crew-finding walkthrough.
