The new game mode introduces a host of new rules that make the gameplay engaging and challenging. These are the main rules of the challenging new mode of Fortnite Festival Battle Stage:

• Each Battle Stage match starts off with 16 players.
• Players compete for the highest score in every round.
• The four lowest scorers are eliminated every round, leading to a total of four rounds per battle.
• All players will get the same jam track but they can select their own song part and difficulty.
• The higher the difficulty, the better the score.
• Songs are randomly chosen. Players cannot choose a setlist.

Another way in which the mode makes the gameplay balanced is by choosing a Jam track per round that no player has in their library or owns. This essentially eliminates the advantage of better scores due to familiarity and memorization of the song.

One of the best ways to score higher in the Fortnite Festival Battle stage is to select the difficult section of the Jam track with an increased difficulty. Higher difficulty offers additional bonus points for the advanced difficulty and helps players lead in the battle.

Another way to dominate and score high in Battle Stage is by launching attacks on opponent players that can slow down their scoring and break their streaks. Players can attack in the same way they used to use overdrive previously and successful attacks lead to bonus points for the player and breaking of streak for the opponent.

Additionally, players can play accurately, maintain their streak, and attack perfectly to get the highest score in Battle Stage. Players can play without worrying about their opponents as the new matchmaking system is skill-based and levels the playing field for all players
