Arena 2023 Season 1 Releases

  • 1,983
  • 2


Greetings witches and wizards!

It's time for our Arena 2023 Season 1 Releases!

Arena Dueling Halls: We have updated the Dueling Halls to include a feature where you can see how many people are in each Arena!



New Challenge Types:
We heard your feedback regarding some of our dueling & flying game modes and have decided to add some new ones! Here are all new challenge modes:

NEW - Knockout Flying Challenge
NEW - FFA-styled Dueling Challenge
NEW - Flying Training Sessions




Arena Protocol:
The Arena Team has added two new protocols to its rules. These new rules are:

- If both players forfeit a duel, then both players will be marked as having lost the duel (and will receive the lesser rewards, if forfeiting within the top 4).
- In a team dueling challenge, if a teammate leaves the challenge, the team will be given the option to duel with the acknowledgement that they will be down a player. (This will be a third option between (1) finding them a new teammate that has not participated in the challenge yet, (2) playing with a man down, and (3) forfeiting the duel. Players are allowed to decide on any of the above options.)


We have added these new protocols in our continuing efforts to ensure that your experience in challenges and tournaments remains consistent and fair at all times.



Arena Valentines Changes:
We've gone ahead and decorated both the Arena Lobby and the Arena Hubs...
