How to Play

Arena Combat Mechanics

Battles in Overworld Arena are fast-paced and strategic. Players choose an amount of Arena Coins to pool before facing an opponent with a matching pool. The victor not only takes all the pooled coins but also receives a 40% Victory Bonus.

Combat involves a combination of stat selection, dice rolls, and action choices. Each battle concludes with the challenger boasting the highest total Battle Power emerging victorious. Players can expedite this process with the "Quick Battle" function by purchasing Gems, the game’s premium currency.

Pool Selection

Before entering Battle, players will select an amount of Arena Coins to pool. Players will be matched against an opponent pooling the same amount, and the winner takes all.

Entering The Arena

Once two players are matched, the Combat Process will begin:

1. Stat Selection: Dexterity, Strength, or Magic will be randomly selected for the battle, to determine each character’s base Battle Power (equivalent to their stat value for the chosen stat)
2. Dice Roll: A random dice roll (1–12) determines how well each Challenger executes their attack, adding the equivalent roll value to their Battle Power
3. Action Choice: Each Challenger chooses to Attack, Spell, or Defend. If an Action is not chosen within 5 seconds, one is randomly selected. The Challenger with the winning Action gains +4 Battle Power (Attack > Spell > Defend > Attack)
4. Tie Breaker: In the event of a tie, there will be a coin flip to determine the winner.
5. Completion: The Challenger with the highest total Battle Power is victorious, receiving all of the polled Arena Coins and their Victory Bonus. In the event of a tie, a coin toss will determine the winner.
