Set the timer

  • 3 minutes

Each Build Battle world contains a timer that shows the time allocated and remaining for the match. This timer should be set before the match begins and can be adjusted during the match. Follow these steps to set the timer in preparation for the match:

  1. Select Set Time from the NPC at the registration desk.
