The new arena "Protection of the Altar" is already in the game!



Unlike all other arenas, here everything is decided by your tactics, speed and reaction. Alone or with friends, you have to protect the ancient altar from hordes of monsters with the help of special ifrit towers.



To defeat the monsters in the lanes, you need to use defensive towers that can be built and upgraded by spending special resource points. The following towers are available:
Fiery ifrit - deals damage to a group of enemies at the same time.
Poisonous Ifrit creates poisonous puddles under enemies.
Ice Ifrit - Attacks with slow projectiles in an area.
Resource Generator - Does not attack enemies, but generates additional resources.
Ifrit of Destruction - Fires a powerful stone projectile at a single target and reduces its defense.
Ifrit skirmisher - shoots powerful arrows at single targets at a great distance.



All towers can be upgraded with resource points. The level of tower improvement is marked by color: white, green, blue, purple, red.

In addition, the altar will be attacked by weaker monsters that do not follow the lines. For killing them, you will be awarded a bonus rating.

From time to time, bonuses will appear around the altar: healing the altar, increasing the rating, and others. Collecting them will require resource points, and you need to have time to collect them before they disappear.

For completing the arena, you get victory points, for which a special “altar guard reward” is issued. In it you can find recipes and rune components, equipment and many useful consumables. Accrual of victory points can be accelerated with the help of a special potion.

In addition, for the successful completion of the arena, you earn a rating, and players of level 60 can get into the list of the best defenders at the end of the season. The rating is earned for activity in the arena: building and upgrading towers, killing monsters, successfully completing waves and rounds, saved resource points, saved altar health.

You can participate in battles in the arena both in single player and in group mode.

Arena passes can be obtained by defeating world bosses.



Additional entry attempts (“Altar Arena Passes”) can be purchased from the in-game store.

In the future, we will continue to work on improving the arena, and your feedback is the key to making it even more interesting.

We wish you good luck in conquering the arena!
