## Arena of Heroes

The Arena of Heroes works with a system of a classic battle. All players need a formation to defend themselves when they are attacked by other players while offline or online.

They also need a formation when they want to attack other players. This formation is different than that of defense. The defense formation can be modified separately.

A record system is available to give the player information about recent attacks or defenses. They can see how many ladder points they received or lost. Moreover, they can also see a replay of the battle.

### Background

*-- "Champion" Edmund • A • Stormheart*

## Legends' Challenger Tournament

The **Legends' Challenger Tournament** is available after beating stage 5-40. It has a battle system similar to the Arena of Heroes battle system. Players have to create a formation of heroes to defend themselves against other players. Players may also create a formation for the attack to adapt their strategy against the defending opponent. Unlike the Arena of Heroes, this battle system is about pitting 3 teams of 5 heroes against each other. Each team fight is independent.

There also exists a record system to review each battle. Every win will reward a player more challenger point accumulation per hour. The amount depends on the player's ranking. A player can only store a maximum of 10,000 challenger points: they must collect it or else the points will stop accumulating.
