What makes one eligible for the "Epic Badge"? If one wins 50 challenges in a row with some draws in between is he/she eligible?

Answer 1

You have to win 50 challenges in a row, with the same weapon, with no draws. A draw breaks the run. Which is annoying because even if you score 5 in every challenge, you're still relying on your opponents to get one wrong.

Answer 2

@Helioform
When did you get your epic badge? I believe the rules have only recently changed around draws.

There was some discussion about it here:

Answer 3

Good to know, thanks Helioform! 😊

I'm disabling all other weapons and give it a shot. Will let you guys know if it's changed or not.

Answer 4

Yes, all with the same weapon.

Answer 5

I won the badge in c++ with a few draws in between. I don't think it has changed since I got it..

Answer 6

Got it a few months ago (December 2016 I think). But I see from that thread that it has changed...too bad. 😐

Answer 7

@Helioform : There were no draws in December, I think.

It is true that draws break the win streak. You have to get 50 consecutive wins in a single language to get Epic badge in that language. If you want that badge, patience is very important. Don't accept a challenge from higher level Sololearners...

Answer 8

@Krishna, that's possible, I forget....Can you get the xp more than once using different weapons?

Answer 9

@Nicolas bonnet, what you said is true. I just won 50 challenges in a row with few draws in between 5th and 6th (yesterday and today). Yet I wasn't awarded the Epic Badge.

Answer 10

Good question Denis, I was wondering that too.

@Helioform & Michael Foster: There's contradiction between you two, but I see Helioform has unlocked the badge. Could you please tell us which weapon did you use and how many draws do you estimate you had in between wins? Thanks in advance 😊

Answer 11

@Helioform : Yes, I got 500 XP each in C++, JavaScript, Java, C#, HTML5.

Answer 12

Draws break streak. That makes the Epic badge impossible unless you get a friend involved or challenge only level 1, 2, 3 ...

Answer 13

As you will see on my profile I just won 51 HTML challenges today with no loses and a few draws. No badge, we have our answer ...

Answer 14

Not sure if it realy works so, cause my 5 flawless in a row...wasn't 5 flawless in a row :D
it was mixed loses+draws+wins...and...not even flawless...
