Modes

You can compete in ranked or practice matches.

 

 

In Ranked Mode, your overall ranking points will increase on wins, and decrease on losses.

 

During your fights, you will earn “Seals of Solare" which can be used to unlock new gear, magic crystals, and other items available in Arena of Solare.

 

Ranked Matches can only be entered during specific windows of time as highlighted below. Note that, in ranked matches, a team composed of three of the same class is not possible.

 

Arena of Solare ranked mode is available during the following hours:

 

NA	Mon-Fri	Sat-Sun
	16:00 - 00:00 PDT 19:00 - 3:00 EDT	12:00 - 00:00 PDT 15:00 - 3:00 EDT

	15:00 - 23:00 UTC 17:00 - 1:00 CEST	11:00 - 23:00 UTC 13:00 - 1:00 CEST

 

 

For those wishing to just practice their skills, the Practice Mode is the Arena of Solare without the added pressure of ranking points. Although rewards are diminished compared to ranked season rewards, you also will not lose anything in case your team cannot overcome the odds.

 

You can match for the Arena of Solare Practice Match, even outside an ongoing ranked season, by going to the main menu (hotkey: Esc) → War (F7) → Arena of Solare → [Find Match].
Arena of Solare practice match hours: 

 

NA	EU
11:00 AM - 2:00 AM PDT 14:00 - 5:00 EDT	10:00 AM - 1:00 AM UTC 12:00 - 3:00 CEST

 

Note that participants will be matched to others of similar skill levels.

 

During practice mode, you will also be able to see your opponent's defense effects (Super Armor, Forward Guard, etc) displayed above their heads. You can also create parties of 2 or 3 other Adventurers and jump into the action of Arena of Solare together during practice mode.

 

In practice mode, a team composed of three of the same class is possible.

 

How to Participate 

You can participate in the Arena of Solare from Lv. 60 with a character that has completed their Succession/Awakening questlines. Both season and non-season characters can participate.

 

You can use the Arena of Solare menu by going to the main menu (hotkey: Esc) → War (F7).

 

As mentioned above, Ranked Mode is only available during certain times, while Practice Mode is available outside of these times.

Arena of Solare Rules 

In the Arena of Solare, you will not only be provided with equalized gear, but you will be restricted from using potions, meals, elixirs, etc. Your character’s recovery effects, AP, DP, Accuracy, and Evasion stats will each be applied according to a set ratio.

 

The following set of rules will additionally be applied in the Arena of Solare.

 

• The team with the best 3 out of 5 rounds will win. Each round will last for a maximum of 3 minutes.
  • At the end of the match, the party with the highest total HP amongst the surviving players wins.
  • If the total HP is the same, the party with the higher total damage wins.
  • If total HP and damage are the same, the match will conclude in a tie.
• You cannot use any type of potions, meals, elixirs, etc., and certain skills will be adjusted.
• All potions are restricted. However, your character's default HP/MP/WP/SP recovery will be greatly increased.
  • The amount naturally recovered will be comparable to using Ornette's or Odore's Spirit Essences with a Fairy that has acquired the skill, "Miraculous Cheer V."
• HP recovery skills will recover only 30% of the amount normally recovered.
• The Guard Guage will be equalized across all classes.
• All players' AP, Damage Reduction, Accuracy, and Evasion stats will be halved.
• Any active meal, elixir, and perfume effects will be nullified, and their remaining time paused when entering the Arena of Solare. The effects and remaining time will resume upon returning to your original location after the match ends.
• While in the arena, max HP will increase by 2000, and Critical Hit Rate, and Attack, Casting, and Moving Speeds will be set to level 5.
• Upon entering the arena, Black Spirit's Rage, HP, MP, SP, WP, cooldown, and other functions will be completely recovered.
• The cooldown for Emergency Escape will reset each round.
• Only “elemental trace” buffs exclusive to the Arena of Solare will be applied for skills, exclusive gear, and the battlefield.
• Effects from your Family's Adventure Log stats will not be applied.

 

Placement Matching

Upon starting Ranked Mode, you will enter the "placement matching" process.
The starting score for placement matches will be allotted based on your final score at the end of the previous season. If you did not participate in the previous season, your starting score will be 7000.
A total of 10 placement matches will be played per family. If you win, you will receive four times more victory points than usual.
Points will not be deducted upon losing during placement matches. However, the penalty for deserting a match will be the same.

 

Deserter Penalty 

If you leave in the middle of a match, you can use the reconnect window to return to the battlefield before the match ends.
Penalty points are accrued depending on the circumstances behind you leaving a match.

 

 

• If you don't re-enter the match: deserter penalty gained
• Re-entered the match but lost: loss points gained
• Re-entered the match and won: victory points gained

 

 

 

You can click the magnifying glass icon next to other Adventurers’ names to view their information, such as whether they play Awakening or Succession, their skill add-ons, and their current gear setup.
