The Arena
In the Arena, you can battle against players from all over the world in real time. Players select a ★6 character to use and then receive rewards depending on their performance.
The Arena can be accessed by tapping the "Arena" button on the Home screen. Soul Tickets are not required to enter the Arena. You must clear Part 1: Chapter 6 of the main story on Normal to unlock the Arena.
Player Matching
You can be matched with players from any server (All Asia, Global, Japan) and you will be automatically added to a team if you choose to enter the Arena alone. Alternatively, you can also form a team with Friends and members of your Guild, or by sharing your Room Number.
Characters are separated by their Arena Rank, which can be increased by earning Trophies. You will be matched against players of similar strength.
Score Battle
In Score Battle mode, players form teams of three and then attempt to defeat enemies of various Attributes and NPC characters with the same stats as the opposing team. The team with the most points when the time expires wins.
The two teams fight enemies on separate but identical maps at the same time, with scores and some actions taken by each team having an effect in real time on the opposing team's match status.
Auto mode cannot be used for Score Battles.
1. Own Team Score
This shows your team's score. Defeating the opposing team's NPC bots and other enemies increases your team's score.
2. Own Team Power Gauge
This shows your team's Power Gauge. The gauge increases or decreases under certain conditions.
3. Time
This shows the remaining time for the current match. The team with the most points when the time reaches zero wins. The remaining time can be extended by 10 seconds by triggering a Score Steal when there are 15 seconds or less left on the clock.
4. Opposing Team Score
This shows the opposing team's score. The opposing team can increase their score by defeating your team's NPC bots and other enemies.
5. Opposing Team Power Gauge
This shows the opposing team's Power Gauge. The gauge increases or decreases under certain conditions.
6. NPC Bots
NPCs are bots with the same stats as the opposing team's characters. As with player-controlled characters, bot's strong attacks grant them a few frame of invincibility and their normal attack strings have a brief cooldown period before they can be used again.
When a bot's Stamina reaches zero, it will respawn with increased stats. The higher a bot's stats, the greater the reduction to a team's Power Gauge when the bot's Stamina is reduced to zero. There are five levels of stats increase. A bot with a stats increase will have a number next to their name indicating their current stats increase level.
7. Arena Missions
Arena Missions are selected at random for each match. Completing an Arena Mission before your opponent will cause a significant reduction to the opposing team's Power Gauge.
8. Power-Up Items
Defeated enemies and breakable objects may sometimes drop power-up items that grant a boost to the player that finds them. Each power-up item increases the character's stats by 30%.
9. Log
The log contains a record of significant events during the match, such as a character being reduced to zero Stamina or a Score Steal being triggered. Actions by each team are displayed in a different color.
Character Stats and Abilities in the Arena
The Arena is easy to enter for all players, whether veterans, new players, or returnees. All you need to enter the Arena is a ★6 character. Regardless of how powered up the character is under normal conditions, all ★6 characters will be treated as being level 200 with a 150% Soul Tree for the purposes of the Arena, with character growth in the Arena operating under a different system from standard character growth. Character growth in the Arena will not have any effect on character growth for other games modes such as Epic Raids or Co-Op, and some standard character growth systems such as Inheritance and Transcendence will have no effect in the Arena.
Arena Rank Rewards
These are rewards you earn for increasing a character's Arena Rank. These rewards are only awarded the first time a character reaches a given Arena Rank.
Trophy Rewards
You can earn Spirit Orbs for reaching certain Trophy milestones. These rewards are only awarded the first time you reach each milestone.
License Rewards
These rewards, which are mainly Arena-related power up items, depend on the total number of Arena Points earned each season.
Arena Medal Exchange
In the Arena Medal Exchange, you can trade any Arena Medals you have acquired for various items. The exchange limit for items in the Arena Medal Exchange reset every month.
