Duel Arena

The Duel Arena is the hub for PvP combat, where your party of heroes battles against other players.

## Accessing the Duel Arena

Commanders are given access to the Duel Arena upon achieving Legion Level 5. To access the Duel Arena, tap on the Arena area when you are on the Fortress screen.

### Valor

Valor is needed to fight in the Duel Arena (1 per match). You can replenish Valor three ways:

1. Waiting for the day to reset
2. Purchasing more in the "Goods" section of the Store
3. Tapping on the + to the right of the Valor Icon at the top of the screen to spend Gems for more.

## Features

### Duel your way to the top of the leaderboards

Challenge other players and have your party duke it out with their line-up to dominate the competition. Earn Battle Points for victories, and lose Battle Points from defeats. Players are ranked by Battle Points earned in each Season, a set period of time for players to duel and ascend the leaderboards until reset, which occurs at regular intervals.

### Defend your honor

Set up a Defense Team to defend your honor when other players select you as their opponent. Your Defense Team will automatically battle against other players and ensure you do not lose points so you can maintain your rank on the leaderboards.

To change your Duel Arena Defense party, tap the bottom left of the Duel Arena home screen where your heroes are located. This will open the party select menu where you can assign heroes to your line-up. This is the line-up of heroes that others fight when they select you as their opponent.

### Earn rewards and complete Daily Quests

Completing Duel Arena matches helps you to accomplish Daily Quests by acquiring points to unlock Honor Coins and other rewards.

### Collect Honor Coins

Participating in Duel Arena awards Honor Coins. These can be used in the Honor Shop to purchase various items. Keep your eyes open for special time-limited PvP events that offer different rewards!

### Fight against your rivals

The rival is your first encounter in the Duel Arena. When you win the battle, you can acquire special rewards. You will discover more rivals as you complete main story missions. Rival battles reset regularly and scale in difficulty as your rival adapts to your strategy over time!

### Seek Revenge

You lose battle points if your Defense Team fails to defeat any challengers. When you log into the game again, you have the option to get your Revenge for any of your losses on the Defensive Combat screen.

## Rewards

At the end of each Season, you are awarded various items, such as gems, gold, Hero Shards, and more! Special PvP events will modify these rewards so keep an eye out for them!

## Ranks

Rank affects the rewards you receive and your position on the leaderboards. The rank listings are as follows:

* Bronze I, II, III
* Silver I, II , III
* Gold I, II , III
* Platinum I, II , III
* Diamond I, II , III
* Master
* Legend

Ranks are given based on the amount of battle points you have earned. For example, all players who have 1,000 battle points are Bronze III rank. Once a player reaches Gold I Rank, their performance factors into their ranking as well as Battle Points. For example, the top 8001-10,000 players will be within Gold Rank I, 6001-8000 are within Gold Rank II, and 4001 - 6000 are Gold Rank III.Upon earning a new rank, you will receive rewards such as gems and gold.

If you maintain your rank by the end of the season, you will receive rewards such as gems and honor coins. These rewards will not always stay the same, so look out for special events that may alter them!

## Strategies

### Leaderboards

To help you advance through the leaderboards, here are a few strategies to help out:

* Battle weekly to compete in each season to maximize earnings from rewards.
* Defeat everyone on your battle list without resetting to reap additional rewards.
* Set your defensive combat party wisely. Opponents can challenge this squad at any time and cause you to lose points in your ranking.
* Resets will refresh your challenge list, giving you a new roster of potential arena opponents!
