The mockup respects the existing home screen layout exactly: top nav, left card column, center character art, PLAY button, Discord card. Event UI is added without disrupting the established pattern.

• FACTION WAR tab — appears in nav with subtle gold tint + live pulse dot. Visible but not aggressive. Click to open the dedicated event hub (screens 03-05).
• Coin wallet — top right, next to existing icons. Gold border draws the eye but doesn't dominate. Shows event-specific currency only — base currencies live elsewhere.
• Consolidated standings card — combines weekly faction standings AND your personal info (faction, faction rank, faction points). The "your faction" banner sits on top with its own azure tint; the standings list is below. Pulled "coins" / "coin multiplier" out per feedback — the wallet handles coins now, the multiplier is implied by your rank.
• Daily quests panel · 4 quests:
  • 1 Faction quest (magenta accent) — collective goal, pinned to top
  • 1 Streamer bounty (purple/Twitch accent) — chat-voted
  • 1 Individual quest
  • 1 Passive / drops (shown as complete)
  Each quest shows XP and Coin rewards explicitly with distinct pill treatments.
• Stream card on left — slot 3 of the existing left column becomes "samet_chess Live · Crimson" with a "Watch + Join Lobby" CTA. Repurposes the existing Alex Botez card slot. The watch+join action is the highest-leverage stream→game conversion surface.

What we did NOT change: top nav structure, left card column pattern, center PLAY hero, Discord card, exit/build chrome. The event lives in the existing home screen, not on top of it.

Pick State: 2x2 grid · each square is one faction · full-page takeover.

• Removed per feedback: header eyebrow, faction tags ("The Order/Court/etc."), subtitles ("Champions of X"), flavor text, % of players
• Faction name is the only typography in each square (single word — Crimson / Azure / Violet / Verdant). "Vanguard / Order / Court / Pact" naming dropped from the picker visual to keep it clean — kept in copy elsewhere.
• Sigil moved to top-LEFT corner · no balance / underdog tags shown · center reserved for proper illustrated faction art (placeholder shown as dashed area)
• Champions row labeled "Champions" · LG pfps · real Twitch profile pictures will swap in when the subagent returns the URLs (currently using gradient placeholders)
• Status pills (Stacked / Balanced / Underdog ×1.3) — soft-balancing UI

Picked State: chosen faction takes the entire top row at scale; other 3 factions live in a small bottom row, faded.

• "Your Faction" gold badge = direct equivalent of Fortnite's "MY FACTION" tag
• Inside the chosen card: art on the left, name + Champions (XL pfps) + CTA stacked on the right
• Other factions remain visible at smaller scale → reinforces "your team / their teams" narrative without hiding the rivals
• Welcome pack details (coins, nameplate, catch-up boost) deferred to a separate intro toast/screen — kept the picker visual clean

The store has three independent lock dimensions. Each gives a different motivation.

• Reputation-tier locks (gold gate · "Requires Champion") — gates items behind your personal reputation. Each tier unlocks at a threshold (Soldier 1,500 / Officer 3,500 / Champion 6,000 / Legend 10,000). Personal grind motivator.
• Faction-milestone locks (purple gate · "Win a week", "Faction · 2M pts", "Win season") — gates items behind collective faction achievements. Achieved milestones flip to a green check + the item becomes purchasable. This is the "team accomplishment" motivator and creates social pressure to contribute.
• Mystery weekly drops (gold "Wk N" pill · "?" art) — future cosmetics revealed live every Monday. Builds anticipation and gives players a reason to return at week roll-over even if they don't have coins to spend yet.

Why three lock types? Each one targets a different player motivation. Rep-tier appeals to grinders. Milestone appeals to team players. Mystery drops appeal to FOMO / collectors. Together they give every player type a reason to engage with the store every week.

Open question: milestone-locked items — does the player still need to spend coins after the milestone is achieved (current design), or does the milestone itself unlock the item for free? Recommendation = still cost coins (preserves the coin economy), but reduce price by ~30% post-unlock so the milestone feels like a meaningful discount.

Open question: coin expiration — convert to base currency post-event, or hard-expire? Recommendation = convert at a discounted rate (e.g. 10:1) so players who hoarded don't feel betrayed but late spending is still incentivized.

• Tab 1 · Factions — same UI as the picker pick state (2x2 grid · sigil + art placeholder + faction name + champions). Azure has a "Your Faction" pip + glow. CTAs are hidden in the embed since switching is gated to the Week Summary screen.
• Tab 2 · Calendar — 6-week season strip + running league standings. Weekend tournaments live here (no separate bracket page). Past weeks are clickable for tournament results.
• Tab 3 · Weekly Rewards — chest + countdown to end of week. Reputation tier + ladder. Clear messaging that reputation persists across weeks but resets if you switch factions.
• Tab 4 · Leaderboards — one sub-tab per faction (Crimson · Azure · Violet · Verdant) plus an All view. Each board shows player rank, reputation tier badge (Recruit / Soldier / Officer / Champion / Legend), and faction points. Top 40 per faction qualify for the weekend tournament — drawn as a glowing dashed cutoff line between #40 and #41.
• Tab 5 · Faction Store — where Faction War Coins are spent. Three lock dimensions: reputation tier (personal grind), faction milestones (team accomplishment), and mystery weekly drops (FOMO/anticipation). Coin balance + season expiration shown at the top.
• Tab 6 · How It Works — onboarding/reference for the event. 6-step explainer (pick a faction → earn points → climb rank → win the week → weekend tournament → spend in store) plus three callouts (points vs reputation, coin expiration, switching factions). Designed as a permanent landing for new players and a refresher for returning ones.

Tournament cutoff = 40 — Tunable. Higher = more inclusive (more "I qualified!" moments) but a less curated final. Recommend 40 as a starting point: gives ~2% of an active faction a real shot, makes the line feel reachable for Officer-tier players.

Reputation system: Faction Points are earned weekly (reset Sunday midnight); cumulative total = your Faction Reputation. Reputation determines weekly chest quality + unlocks tier-gated Faction Store items. Switching factions wipes reputation.

The single most important screen for retention week-over-week. Three jobs, in order:

1. Reveal — "WEEK 2 COMPLETE" + winner faction reveal + faction rankings (no league points, no dates)
2. Reward — one big visual chest. Label = "[Rank N] [Tier] Chest". The faction-rank component (1–4) does the work that the old "faction-result bonus" used to. Contents are not shown — that's the open-the-chest moment.
3. Decide — Open Chest (primary) or Switch Faction (secondary). No warnings on this screen — the switch flow opens a follow-up screen with the reputation-loss confirmation.

Reputation: represented as a single visual progress bar. Tier name (Officer) on the left, next tier (Champion) on the right. The blue segment = prior reputation, the glowing gold segment = this week's gain, ticks divide the 5 tiers. One callout below: "+1,840 earned this week."

Design intent on the switch: this is the only place a player can switch factions. Keeping warnings on a follow-up screen lets the summary stay clean and dramatic, while still preserving the gravity of the choice on the next step.

Open question: if the player closes the game without claiming, does the chest auto-deposit to inventory? Recommend YES — never punish closing the app. Explicit "Open Chest" button just unlocks the open-the-chest animation.
