Inviting someone into a Eternal Return ranked squad group from a nickname and one stat line often exposes region, platform, rank, role, and goal conflicts too late. Keep a public post limited to information needed to play; omit real names, phone numbers, school or workplace, exact location, credentials, and money. Put same Asia, North America, or Europe server on PC with stable latency, current tier and premade eligibility, frontline/damage/utility coverage, two-character minimum, and shared routes, and two or three 90-minute sessions, English/bilingual voice, objective, engage, and disengage caller in one scannable block so incompatible candidates can opt out before private contact is exchanged.
How to screen a ranked squad candidate
Replace “good players only” with observable conditions: region and platform, current rank range, primary and flex roles, available hours, voice language, and whether the goal is competitive or social. A profile or clip is context from one moment, not proof of identity, conduct, or repeatable skill. During two Normal games to test routes and fight calls, then one Ranked game only if eligible, observe calls, role discipline, punctuality, and response to a loss. Agree before recording voice or publishing any clip.

A practical recruiting sequence
- 1State the purpose first — Say whether this is ranked squad, a long-term roster, a climb, or social play.
- 2Separate required from preferred — Only mark genuinely essential parts of same Asia, North America, or Europe server on PC with stable latency and current tier and premade eligibility, frontline/damage/utility coverage, two-character minimum, and shared routes as required.
- 3Check basics in a public channel — Confirm schedule, role, voice, and goal before rushing to a private messenger.
- 4Run a bounded first session — Use two Normal games to test routes and fight calls, then one Ranked game only if eligible and never demand an open-ended tryout or account access.
- 5Make a mutual decision — Judge punctuality, communication, role fit, and safety—not the win alone.

Use DOR to review play context
DOR does not automatically assign Eternal Return teammates or verify identity, rank, or skill. Use the Eternal Return page, public clips, and communities as extra context, then start the conversation yourself. Apply the safety checks in the game friend and party finder, and use PC gameplay recording guide to record or review a short, consensual trial. Do not treat one public highlight as proof of long-term fit.
Recheck current rules at the official source
The key point in Eternal Return official information is: The official game-mode guide describes Ranked as teams of three that gain or lose Rank Points based on match results. Party limits, seasons, regions, and modes can change, so recheck the official page and current client on recruiting day. This matrix is practical DOR guidance, not a publisher matchmaking or certification rule.
