Arena

**Arena** is a new game mode that can be found in the Arcade. Arena was released on 27 November 2020.

**Arena** is a 1v1 tower rush game and the goal is to destroy the enemy's Little Commander.

## Quick Overview

Prior to each match, players construct a deck of 9 cards which they use to attack and defend against their opponent's cards. There are 3 types of card, Monster, Magic and Hero. Monster and Magic cards require a certain number of Shards to play while Hero cards consume a certain number of Essence. The maximum number of Monster and Magic cards in a deck is 6. The maximum Hero cards is 3.

At the start of each game, both players begin with three randomly chosen Monster and Spell cards. Both players start with 5 Shards and 0 Essence. 1 Shard is generated every 3 seconds. By spending 5 Shards through playing Monster and Magic cards, 1 Essence will be generated.
Each Little Commander has 4,000 Health at the start. When the Little Commander is reduced to 2,000 Health, the Little Commander will knock back any attacking enemies and stun them while deploying a shield that lasts for a short while. By reducing the enemy's Little Commander to 0 Health, the player will win the match. After 1 minute, if both Little Commanders are still alive, the match continues into a 1 minute overtime period. Shards will be generated faster during this period.

By winning a match, the player will be awarded with Battle Points, Cup Points and a Battle Chest. By accumulating Cup Points, the player will unlock more cards. By opening the Battle Chests, the player can receive Battle Points or cards that are unlocked which can be used to upgrade their cards.
