A new season of Arena of Solare has begun!
A new Arena of Solare season is just around the corner.
This time, we've revamped the scoring system to better differentiate ranks based on Arena points, introduced a new battlefield, and made balance changes to certain equipment. On top of that, rewards for matches above the Shining Spear emblem have been upgraded, and a new victory pose feature has been added to make your wins feel even more rewarding. We hope you'll dive into the new Arena of Solare season and enjoy all the new updates.
