The Arena

One-on-one duels, ranked or unranked, with separate arena health.

Queue for a ranked or unranked duel and you are matched with a player near your rating and level. Arena health is separate: losing never sends you to hospital or costs you money. A turn not taken in 30 seconds is played for you; three missed turns in a row forfeit.

Ranked opens at level 5 on accounts at least a day old. After five placement matches you join a division, from Bronze up to Champion. Seasons last a month; at the end ratings move halfway back to the middle and you keep a title for the highest division you reached.

If nobody fits within about 30 seconds you meet a ghost: another player’s real build, played automatically, or a generated fighter of your own strength. Ghost duels are rated for you as normal.
