# Scholarship

Players who do not have any heroes can join the game via the system called Scholarship. They can borrow heroes or units from other Guilds or even other players. Scholarship system allows them to use other players’ heroes as their own, participating in many modes, including both PvE and PvP. Rewards are shared with the owner by a predetermined amount, agreed upon by both players.

Scholarship also gives the players the ability to borrow Royal Army - composition of distinctive units designed following the 6 kingdoms’ theme.
