BATTLE ARENAS

## ***ALL ABOUT BATTLE ARENAS***

***POSITION ON THE MAP OF ELDONIA***

Battle Arenas is the primary battle feature where players face each other in battle. By winning battles you earn trophies and progress on the Battle Arenas milestones. Collecting trophies is how you reach predetermined milestones where you unlock new features and earn valuable resources (Gold, Runes, Gems, Phoenix Tokens and Featured Minions), as well as unlock new Arenas and chances to get new Minions from those Arenas.

Once you unlock a feature, it will stay unlocked even if you go back to an inferior number of trophies. The rewards and contents can only be claimed once. The only exception are Runes, Gold and Phoenix Tokens in Legendary Arenas (3.400+ ) that can be claimed once during each Legendary Arena League.

Each won battle gives you a certain number of trophies depending on your current Arena level and the difference in strength between you and your opponent. You also get a Battle Arena chest with rewards from your current Arena and previously unlocked ones. The higher the Arena, the greater the rewards!

***Trophies won/loss from Arena 1 to Arena 8 have been changed to 15 trophies. To maintain the competitive and dynamic environment in the Legendary Arena, trophies won/loss in Arena 9+ remain the same (0-60).***

Additionally, all players who have unlocked the Tower of Ascension feature at 1.000 trophies earn another resource from victories in Battle Arenas and Campaign - Glory. Glory is a resource that can be put towards Minion Ascensions in the Tower of Ascension. More on that in the Tower of Ascension section.

By reaching 3.400+ trophies on the Battle Arena Milestones you’re entering the Legendary Arenas (Arena 9+) and Legendary Arena Leagues. These are biweekly leagues where the best Heroic players compete by racking up trophies and climbing up the Global and Local Leaderboards. Every two weeks the League resets and all players within the Legendary Arenas have their trophy count reset to 3400 and receive their corresponding rewards depending on the max number of trophies reached during that League.

**ON THE MAIN SCREEN YOU CAN SEE:**

* **HEROE'S JOURNEY (*MILESTONE PROGRESSION*)** (shows how much Trophies you currently have),
* **LEADERBOARD** (shows Global, Local and Friends Leaderboards),
* **BATTLE CHESTS** (shows status of your Battle Chests),
* **SHOP** (shortcut to enter Event Shop).
* **BATTLE** (button to start battle against another player),

#### ***GLOBAL LEADERBOARD***

***YOU CAN ALSO SEE IN WHICH ARENA YOU ARE CURRENTLY IN AND TIMER WHEN CURRENT SEASON ENDS***

### **BATTLE**

***YOU CAN HAVE SAVED UP TO 5 DIFFERENT DECKS FOR BATTLE ARENA.***

***NOTICE THAT SETTINGS OF DECKS FOR BATTLE ARENA DIFFERS FROM SETTINGS FOR THE DECKS WHEN YOU PLAY EVENTS!***

**ON THE BATTLE SCREEN YOU CAN SEE:**

* **SPELLS** (shortcut to Spells where you can change or level up Spells of your Hero),
* **HERO** (shortcut to Hero where you can change or level up your Hero),
* **ARTIFACTS (*FRAGMENTS*)** (try to use Artifacts that give best boost to your Minions and Spells),
* **MINIONS** (shortcut to Minions where you can change, power up or level up your Minions),
* **DECK POWER** (shows your current Deck Power that depends upon Artifacts and Minions you are using in your deck),
* **EQUIP BEST** (you can see equipment stats and how are your deck, Portal and Spells affected by your Artifacts. You can chose automatic Equip best, but I don't recommend it),
* **BOOSTED MINION** (every Season one Minion will be boosted to the current level you are in the game) and
* **BATTLE** (press it to start a battle).

***DECK POWER***

***EQUIP BEST (EQUIPMENT STATS)***

***Actually it's Artifacts stats, not Equipment stats***

**MORE ABOUT ARTIFACTS AND EQUIPMENT WILL BE COVERED IN SEPARATE PAGE!**

***POWER UP***

***LEVEL UP***

***BOOSTED MINION***

***Upon the release of any new Minion, game developers will boost the Minion up to your Account level for the duration of the Season. This means that, for example, if your Account level is 10, but you only have that Minion at level 7 - this Minion will act as level 10 until the end of the Season, at which point it will return the current level it holds in your collection. This should let you play with Minion at appropriate strength for your Account level and help you test its true power in battle. If there is no new Minion in the game, one of Legendary or Mythic Minions will be Boosted during the Season.***

***IN BATTLE EMOTES***

***You can taunt your opponent with 4 battle emotes! If you prefer to stay focused on combat alone there is a mute button.***

### **BATTLE HISTORY**

If you want to watch a replay of one of your previous battles, go to the Player Profile, scroll down to Battle History and choose the battle that you’d like to see. This can help you improve your skills and spot opportunities to outplay your opponent by casting different Minions/Spells. You can also speed it up or pause it.

***BATTLE HISTORY***

### **PLAYING AGAINST COMPUTER PLAYERS (BOTS)**

You can find BOTS while playing battles in Arena or while playing Events. Even if only PvE Event is **LAST HERO STANDING** (you only play against BOTS in this Event), because there are not enough players in the game, you can meet BOTS in other 2 PvP Events: **CAPTURE THE FLAG** and **COLOSSUS AWAKENING**. More information about Events you can find here: EVENTS.

**Reasons to meet BOTS in Arena are:**

* **if there are not enough players in the game (that have similar level and strength like yours) and**
* **if you in continuity lose 4 or 5 battles.**

#### **HOW TO RECOGNIZE A BOT**

*1) BOTS WILL HAVE VERY CLOSE COUNT OF TROPHIES LIKE YOU DO AND ALWAYS A BIT LOWER*

*2) BOTS CAN HAVE **TITLE** OR **BADGES** THAT NO ONE HAVE IN THE GAME (LIKE: **XXL VIP BADGE** OR **"HEROIC IMERATOR" TITLE**)*

*IN THIS CASE BOT HAS **TITLE "LAST ONE STANDING"** WHICH REFFERS TO **BADGE "ULTIMATE STAND"** WHERE YOU NEED TO BE 1st ON GLOBAL LEADERBOARD OF **LAST HERO STANDING** EVENT MINIMUM 10 TIMES (NO ONE HAS DONE THAT IN THE GAME YET)!*

MORE ABOT BADGES AND TITLES YOU CAN FIND HERE: BADGES AND TITLES

SOMETIMES BOT EVEN DOESN'T HAVE A TITLE UNDER HIS NAME

OR HAS A VERY STRANGE GUILD NAME

*3) BOTS DON'T HAVE COLOURFUL NAMES OR NAMES THAT HAVE SPECIAL FONTS*

IN THIS CASE BOTS ARE MARKED IN RED.

*4) BOTS CAN SOMETIMES HAVE VERY STRANGE NAMES*

*5) BOTS HAVE BASIC PORTAL HP LEVEL (**THEIR DECK CAN'T HAVE ARTIFACTS, ARTIFACTS BOOST PORTAL HEALTH**)*

**WHEN YOU ENTER THE BATTLE, THIS WILL MOST LIKELY BE YOUR FIRST CLUE THAT YOU ARE PLAYING AGAINST BOT!**

IN THIS CASE BOT HAS LEVEL 11 AND HIS PORTAL HP IS 40.151.

YOU CAN CHECK BASIC PORTAL HP HERE (PORTAL STRENGTH):

*6) BOTS DON'T HAVE PINK DOTS ON THEIR SPELLS OR MINIONS **(THEIR DECK CAN'T HAVE ARTIFACTS)***

**BOTS CAN ONLY HAVE ASCENDED MINIONS, BUT NEVER WITH "GAME DECISIVE" MINIONS (LIKE PHASE ASSASSIN)!**

**HUMAN PLAYERS DO HAVE PINK DOTS (HOW MANY DEPENDS UPON OF THEIR ARTIFACTS)**

EXAMPLE WITH PINK DOTS ON A HERO SPELL

MORE ABOUT ARTIFACTS AND PINK DOTS YOU CAN FIND HERE: ARTIFACTS AND EQUIPMENT

#### **HOW TO EASILY BEAT A BOT**

***BOT VERY OFTEN HAS CRYSTAL COLOSSUS (CC) IN HIS DECK. TRY TO AWOID THE LANE WHERE CC APPEARS AND IN 99% OF THE CASES BOT WILL NOT SEND ANOTHER MINION ON YOU OR USE A SPELL AND YOU CAN EASILY FINISH THE BATTLE  :-)***

***ALSO AWOID USING DOPPELGANGER (EPIC MINIONS#DOPPELGANGER) TO COPY CC :-)***

DO NOT ATTACK BOT THAT HAS CRYSTAL COLOSSUS MINION

### **BATTLE ARENA CHESTS**

You earn Battle Chests from winning battles. You have 4 slots available for these types of chests. If all slots are occupied, you won’t earn new chests if you win a battle.

There are different ways to unlock your Battle Chests:

* Start the timer,
* Use Ferrum (Referral Points) to open them immediately,
* Use Gems to open them immediately (***NOT RECCOMENDING***).

There are three types of Battle Chests:

* Simple Chest
* Artisan Chest
* Deluxe Chest

### **FREE CHESTS**

Once every 4 hours you get a Free Chest. It generates automatically and you can stack up multiple Free Chests (***UP TO 20***) at the same time. You can find these in the bottom right corner on the World Map.

### **VICTORY TRACK**

Victory Track contains 14 Victory Chests and refreshes every 14 days. One Victory Chest becomes available for unlocking each day of the Legendary Arena League which matches the Victory Track duration. To open it up, you need to win 8 battles in Battle Arena, Capture the Flag or Colossus Awakening; Campaign, other events and friendly battles do not count.

***GAME UPDATE: A new Victory Chest will now become available for unlocking each day of the Legendary Arena League which matches the Victory Track duration. This means you will now be able to have more than 2 incomplete Victory Chests stacked, and the possibility of completing them all retroactively on the last 2 days of the League before the timer resets. Victory track will continue resetting every 14 days.***
