We have taken a look around and looked for current Vainglory bets. We noticed that the game is increasingly listed and offered by major bookmakers. Of course, many bookmakers always offer only the big events, because more information about encounters can be found than for small events.

How is Vainglory played?

The gameplay in a multiplayer online battle arena game is mostly the same. At the beginning, you have to choose a hero, who is controlled from the bird’s eye view. A team consists of three players, who should choose different heroes, as they are divided into different categories (assassin, mage, protector / support, sniper and warrior).

The objective of the game is to destroy the Vain Crystal, which is located in the enemy base. Here, two lanes lead to the goal. The upper and the lower lane end at the Vain crystal. In the middle of the map is the forest (Jungle), where various monsters can be found, which drop gold after being murdered. There is also a store with unusual items in the Jungle.

The Vain Crystal is guarded by various things, making Vainglory a very challenging mobile game. On the lanes, computer-controlled units, so-called “creeps”, are always sent to stop you. You should kill them to get gold and to be able to strengthen yourself. However, the player only receives gold if the creep is killed by the player with a last hit, i.e. the death blow. Otherwise, you only get experience points that let you increase in level. After a level increase, you can invest an ability point in the hero. These can be used to relearn or strengthen an ability. But not only the creeps block your way to the goal, towers and the opposing players also want to prevent you from winning the game with your team. Towers are enormous sources of damage for heroes and cause more and more damage to the hero per hit. Thus, it is recommended that you kill the opponent’s computer-controlled units quickly so that the tower will pounce on your creeps and not deal damage to your hero.

Since the map is smaller and clearer, a game usually lasts no longer than 25 minutes and is thus much shorter than, for example, a game on a laptop or gaming PC.
