Arena
The Arena is a separate PvP battlefield where pilots fight in teams. There are two ways in:
- Ranked — matchmaking finds opponents of similar strength. Winning earns LP and moves you up the leagues; leagues and leaderboards are tied to seasons.
- Custom lobby — set up your own room, invite your friends or join an open lobby. It’s for practice and friendly matches; it doesn’t count toward LP, leaderboards or rewards.
The Arena window has Ranked, Custom, Season, Leaderboard, Quests and History tabs.

How a match works
Section titled “How a match works”Every arena match is played in rounds. A round ends when all ships of one team are destroyed; the first team to win 3 rounds wins the match (up to 5 rounds).
- Each round starts with a short countdown; once it ends, weapons are free.
- After a while the battlefield starts to shrink. Ships outside the zone take damage every second — hiding until the end won’t work.
- If the round timer runs out, the round goes to the team whose members have the higher average remaining hull + shield ratio.
- If both teams are wiped out at the same moment, the round is a draw and is replayed.
- If a match exceeds its maximum duration, it ends without a result (it is cancelled).

Platforms
Section titled “Platforms”The Arena is open on PC, Android and iOS at the same time. Players on all three platforms are matched in the same queue and share the same leagues and leaderboards. Your game version must be up to date to enter — the arena doesn’t open on an old version, and the game asks you to update.
In this section
Section titled “In this section”- Ranked — queue requirements, solo or group play, the ready check, matchmaking, the daily match limit and what happens when a teammate leaves.
- Leagues & LP — the leagues from Iron to Champion, divisions and LP, placement, promotion shield, demotion and decay.
- Seasons — Season 0, rewarded seasons, the season break and what resets in a new season.
- Rewards & Quests — match rewards, daily arena quests, kill rewards and consumption refunds.
- Penalties — leaving a match, declining the ready check and not showing up.
- Titles & Badges — the league badge on your nameplate, permanent season titles and the live Champion title.
Note: Some arena numbers (daily match limit, rewards, penalty durations and so on) can change with the season settings. This section only lists numbers that are fixed in the game; you can always see the current values in the Arena window in-game.
