I am noticing that high MP against low MP yields lower gains. Also, a low MP fighting a high MP seems to grant bigger rewards. Is this true and how the mechanics work?

Please answer and say if MP plays a role in the points people earn or lose in PVP.

My PVP screenshot shows me winning a defense and gaining 28, and then losing a defense and only losing 4. There has to be a mechanics reason why, I suspect MP level.

It's the number of trophies that is factored in, not the MP.
Though obviously people with a high MP will usually also have a lot of trophies.

So the low loss of 4 trophies must have been due to that guy climbing the ranks and then punching down on me via revenge attack? All attacks you make in pvp are attacking people with slightly more trophies so there's no way it could have been that if trophies impact the points, I reckon. Thanks for the input.

@monsterbath said in PVP trophy points factor MP into calculating points of loss/win?:

Highest ranked players cannot always attack players with slightly more trophies than them. So they sometimes have to punch down.

If I get attacked and only lose 4 trophies, I can be sure it was a top 3 ranked player.
