How it Works

To keep the playing field level, the level the tournament is at (Listed as 'Max Equip Level') determines the maximum item level allowed to be used. Any items over this level will be ignored, level up points, relics, buffs and guild structures are also ignored in the arena.

Start by selecting your 10 Combat Moves (note, you will need to win some tournaments to gain additional combat moves) If you enter a level 100 tournament you will have to pick your best set of items for level 100. Once you enter the tournament a snapshot of your equipment will be taken and your list of "combat moves". Hence you will not be able to change your arena stats or moves after it has been entered.

Once the tournament is full, combat will then start and each move the player has picked will occur at the same time as your opponents, making combat in the tournaments more tactical than regular PvE or PvP.

The combat will run through your 10 attacks, if combat is not resolved after 10 attacks combat will continue for up to an additional 10. If it is still not resolved, the judges will decide on a number of factors.

Tournaments will be automated and a new round will start every 10 minutes.
