League Arena is a cross-server PvP game mode available at team level 10. Players on some servers will have League Arena in place of the usual Arena on the main screen:
Follow our social media to stay tuned about League Arena.
Menu
In the main League Arena menu, you can see all the information about the current League Arena Season:
In League Arena, players are grouped into leagues based on their ranking points. Over the course of a 28-day Season, you battle opponents to earn points, climb the ranks, and unlock valuable rewards.
First, make sure you have set your defense team in advance.
Then press To the Arena to find an opponent, gather an attack team, and start a fight. If you do not want to battle the suggested opponent, press Replace:
You can assemble three attacking teams and choose the best one for each opponent to gain a tactical edge.
When you are ready, press Attack in the middle of the screen.
Battles
To attack an opponent, you need a League Arena attack attempt. You can view the number of your attempts in the top-right corner of the main menu:
If you have fewer than five attempts, they will reset daily at 2:00 AM UTC. Need more attempts? Press the plus icon next to the attempts to get five of them using emeralds or one attempt for 500 Friendship Chips:
Each purchase adds attempts to your existing count, meaning you can stack up more than five at a time.
The cost of purchasing additional attempts with emeralds increases with each purchase.
Battles in League Arena last two minutes, just like in the Campaign. If both teams are still alive at the end of the battle, the defense team wins.
Unlike in the original Arena, the battles in League Arena are not automatic, so you can control your heroes manually. If you skip the fight, it will be finished in Auto mode.
After the battle, you do not have to wait and can initiate the next battle immediately.
Battle Results and Ranking
The rewards you receive after a battle depend on both the type of battle (offense or defense) and its outcome.
In offense:
-
When you win a battle in offense, you get ranking points, among other rewards.
-
When you lose a battle, your ranking does not change. However, you still receive League Arena Coins as a reward.
In defense:
- You lose ranking points if the battle ends in defeat.
- There is no reward for winning in defense.
The number of ranking points you receive or lose after a battle depends on the outcome of the battle and the current leagues of participants.
Leagues
Once you get enough ranking points, you move to a higher league. To see more info about the leagues, press the banner in the center of the main screen.
Here you can see:
- All the leagues and rewards.
- Your current ranking and how many points you need till the next league.
- The rewards for reaching a certain league.
- The seasonal reward that you receive at the end of the League Arena Season. The reward is based on your final ranking.
Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Challenger leagues also have several divisions and the rewards for reaching them.
Heroes of the Week and Today's Elimination
On the main League Arena menu, you can see Heroes of the Week:
Include them in your attacking team and get an extra 25 League Arena Coins for each Hero of the Week after winning the battle.
Below the Heroes of the Week, you can see Today's Elimination.
You can receive additional rewards for defeating a number of opponent heroes during the day. If you do not collect these rewards, they will be sent to your in-game mail the next day.
League Arena Shop
You earn League Arena Coins for battles in offense, whether you win or lose. You can spend these Coins at the League Arena Shop.
Some items in the Shop will be available after reaching a certain league.
The Shop is available for three more days after the League Arena Season ends.

League Arena will roll out gradually, starting with a select group of servers. The new game mode will replace the old Arena there.
This phased launch allows enthusiastic players to dive in early while giving others time to prepare. If your server is not on the list, it means the current version of the Arena will remain on your server for now.
If you want to try out the new League Arena, you can transfer to one of the servers listed above according to the usual rules. Meanwhile, players on servers with League Arena will be able to transfer to other servers for free if they prefer to continue battling in the familiar version of the Arena.
Since the Arena and League Arena use completely different systems, there will be no ranking transfers between them.
The first League Arena Season ends on June 23. Your remaining League Arena Coins will remain in your Inventory until the next League Arena Season starts.
You can spend them in the Arena Shop. To access it, go to your Inventory, open the Coins tab, find and select the Arena Coins, and then press the Spend button.
League Arena offers its own unique rewards, which you can learn more about in the article above. Daily Arena rewards will not be available on servers that feature League Arena.
League Arena will have its own unique cosmetic rewards, but the Champion Frame will not be among them. If you have already earned it, you will keep it. After League Arena rolls out for all, the frame will not be obtainable anymore, so there is still time to go for it!
We do not have a global release date to share just yet. The current limited rollout on select servers is a key step to help us polish the mode before launching it everywhere. While we have our estimates, we remain flexible—should any critical issues arise during this phase, we are ready to adjust our rollout plan to ensure the best possible experience for all players.
