In the Arena menu, you can select one of the three suggested opponents to battle:

If you do not want to battle any of them, you can click Refresh enemies.

Also, on this screen, you can view:

  • your current Arena ranking,
  • number of available battles;
  • your defense team and its overall power.

You can assemble your attacking team after clicking Attack under the chosen opponent's nickname.

Battles

To start a fight, you need a battle attempt. Battle attempts refill to five every day at 5:00 AM your in-game time.

After reaching VIP level 3, you can buy more battle attempts with emeralds. Each purchase grants you five attempts. The higher your VIP level, the more purchases you can make per day. To purchase attempts, press the plus icon next to the attempt counter:

Note: If you have five or more attempts at the time of the daily reset, they will not refill.

Battles in 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.

Note: All battles in Arena are automatic, so you cannot control your heroes manually. When you press the To battle! button, the game server calculates the battle results. The battle you see is just the recording; it is not real-time.

You can skip the battle replay by clicking the pause button in the upper-right corner and pressing Skip battle.

After the battle, you cannot attack again for one minute. However, you can skip the waiting time for 50 emeralds.

Note: If you have attacked a player and won, but your position in the Arena has not changed, it means that while you were choosing a target, they were attacked by another player and lost. Since their position became lower than yours, your ranking did not change.

Matchmaking

The Arena has two matchmaking ranges: visible and hidden.

  • The visible range includes player positions you can see in the list of suggested opponents.

  • The hidden range is wider than the visible range. It ensures that opponents do not disappear while you are choosing an opponent or heroes to attack. Without this range, you would have to constantly look for a new opponent because positions in Arena are dynamic and change quickly.

Note: The hidden range allows you to attack an opponent even if they have changed their position while you were selecting your heroes. However, if the new position is outside both the visible and hidden range, you will have to look for a different opponent.

Rewards

There are five types of rewards in the Arena. All come to the in-game mail in a letter.

  1. Ranking reward. Each time you reach a new place in Arena, you receive emeralds.
Note: Your personal record will not reset if you change the server, and you will not receive these rewards again.
  1. Rewards for reaching the top 1000, top 500, top 100, top 50, top 10, and top 1. You receive EXP Potions, Arena Coins, and gold for reaching these rankings for the first time.
  2. Daily reward. At 8:00 PM your in-game time, you receive a daily reward according to the highest ranking in the Arena and Grand Arena. For example, if you ranked 20th in the Arena and 30th in the Grand Arena, you get the reward only for the 20th place. The daily reward can include EXP Potions, Arena Coins, gold, and emeralds.
Note: You get the reward only if you attack at least once in the Arena or Grand Arena before 8:00 PM your in-game time zone. This article provides more details on how the daily Arena reward is issued.
  1. Successful defense reward. Every day, you can get 10 Arena Coins for the first five successful defenses, up to 50 Coins a day.
  2. Successful attack reward. You receive 20 Arena Coins for each successful attack.
Note: Unlike other rewards, coins for successful attacks are added to your Inventory immediately after the battle ends.
