Multi PK
Multi PK puts 3–5 anchors on stage at once, ranks them by gift score every round, makes the top N the winners and can rotate players automatically by rank.
Multi PK puts 3–5 anchors on stage at the same time. Each position has its own gifts, and a gift sent for a position adds to the anchor in that position. At the end of each round anchors are ranked by score, the top N win, and anchors outside the winning ranks can be swapped automatically for anchors in the waiting area. It suits several anchors competing side by side.
Rules
Number of players: pick 3P, 4P or 5P in the dropdown in the top row of Team Setup; the widget then has that many positions. The first anchors in Anchor Config fill Position 1, Position 2 and so on in order (marked P1, P2… in the list), and the rest wait in the waiting area.
Scoring: each position has a set of gifts. A gift sent for a position adds its coin value to the anchor in that position. Gifts that match no position go to Unassigned Gifts, where you can assign them by hand; see Anchors and Gift Attribution.
Deciding the winners: when the round ends, anchors are ranked by score from high to low, and everyone within Winning ranks wins:
- Choose from 1st only up to Top N−1 (N being the number of players).
- On a tie, the earlier position ranks higher; 0 points never wins.
- Ticket adjustments made with Count ticket adjustments toward progress and round results turned on count toward the ranking.
- Changing the winning ranks does not affect rounds that have already ended.
Wins and streaks: each winner gets +1 win and +1 streak. Anchors who played but did not win lose their streak. Anchors who did not play are not affected.
Rotation:
- Manual: the lineup stays as it is; swap anchors by dragging on Home.
- Auto: after each round, anchors outside the winning ranks (at most "players − winning ranks" of them) are swapped, from the lowest rank up, for the anchors at the front of the waiting area; those swapped out go to the end of the waiting area. The swap happens when you click Prepare or Start for the next round, with the message Auto rotation swapped out N. If everyone has 0 points, nobody is swapped.
Settings
Select a Multi PK config on Team Setup. The top row holds the player-count dropdown; if you lower the player count and the winning ranks no longer fit, they are reduced automatically and you are told so. The Workbench on the right has three sections:
Appearance
| Setting | Notes |
|---|---|
| Widget Style | Score-weighted bars: each anchor's bar width follows their score. Equal bars: all bars are the same width. Locked during a round |
| Display Elements | Current Round, Participant Count, User Avatar, Member Nickname. With both Current Round and Participant Count ticked, the widget alternates between them. User Avatar shows the top 3 gifters of each anchor and only appears with 3 players |
| Win stats | Off, Wins, Win streak. Wins are the rounds won in this session; Win streak is consecutive rounds won and resets after a loss. Off only hides it on the widget; the stats keep tracking |
Gameplay Rules
This section is locked during a round (except Countdown style).
| Setting | Notes |
|---|---|
| Winning ranks | See above; you can also change it on Home between rounds |
| Rotation | Manual or Auto, see above; the active area on Home has the same switch |
| Countdown (min:sec) | Length of each round, 3:00 by default. Turn off the switch on the right for no countdown; the round then has to be ended by hand |
| Countdown style | Appears only when the countdown is on: place the countdown at the Bottom (default) or Top of the widget, and choose whether to add a Dark background |
| Auto-pause at 0s | See Auto pause at zero |
| Single Gift Binding | Set one team gift for each position. After a viewer sends it, their other gifts count toward that anchor; sending another position's team gift switches them over |
| Exclusive Gift Follow | Fills in each position's anchor exclusive gift and forces Single Gift Binding on. The anchors on stage need exclusive gifts first |
| Position Gift Config | Up to 6 gifts per position, and the same gift cannot be added twice. With Single Gift Binding only the first cell is used; with Exclusive Gift Follow it shows Exclusive Gift Following and you do not pick gifts by hand |
Widget Settings
These can be changed during a round. For Leaderboard Widget Settings and User Ranking Widget Settings, see Shared Mode Settings.
During the stream
Before you can start: collection must be connected; the number of anchors in the active area must match the player count (otherwise The active area needs exactly N anchors, matching the configured participant count); and every position on stage needs gifts (otherwise Give every active position a target gift first).
Operation Area: the header shows the round pill, the assigned coins, the number of gifters and the Score visibility switch (see Showing or hiding scores). Below are the widget view, a row with Winning ranks and Auto pause at zero, and the Prepare, Start and End buttons; see Game Modes Overview for how they work. Winning ranks cannot be changed while a round is running.
Active area: the title reads "N active slots", with the Auto / Manual switch next to it. Each seat card shows the anchor, that position's gifts, the anchor's coins so far this session, and their wins and losses. Drag an anchor from the waiting area onto a seat to replace the anchor in that position; this is not possible while a round is running. With auto rotation on, seats that will be swapped out after the round are marked Out next round.
Data: Data Overview on the right has three tabs. Round Data lets you pick Round N (Current) or Round N (Settled) and view PK Battle (each anchor's gifts plus Unassigned Gifts, with ticket adjustment) and User Leaderboard. Anchor Leaderboard has an Adjust button. User Overall ranks this session's gifters. Live Session Totals below sums up Assigned Total Points, Unassigned Total Points and Gift Users.
Widget
Copy the main widget link from Widget Link: in the bottom bar of Team Setup; see Widgets and OBS for adding it to OBS. The leaderboard widget links are under Widget Settings in the Workbench.
Widget links contain an access credential. Do not share them publicly.
Each position has its own color on the main widget. A position that is alone in the lead is highlighted. When scores are hidden (see Showing or hiding scores), the widget shows no scores, the bars become equal width under a fog layer, and no leader is marked, so viewers cannot read the ranking early.
Notes
- Right after a round ends and before the next one starts, reassigning gifts or adjusting tickets re-ranks that round using the new scores, only among the anchors who played in it, and wins and streaks are updated to match. For older rounds, changing gift ownership only updates scores and reports; the original winners stay as they were.
- Auto rotation only picks from the waiting area: an anchor you just swapped out by hand after the last round is not brought straight back, and with Exclusive Gift Follow on, waiting anchors without an exclusive gift are skipped.
- To turn on Exclusive Gift Follow, the first anchors in Anchor Config (the ones filling the positions) must all have exclusive gifts.
