With last week's Rings of Power and this Arena update, there's plenty of bang for your buck (shameless promotion over).

Arena Mode Features

  • Survive for 15 minutes in a single arena

  • No burdens, sacrifices, or portals

  • 6 new potion powerups can show up in chests (see GIF above)

  • Special combat events can trigger periodically, spawning unique enemy configurations and special hazards

  • Collecting gems levels you up, allowing you to pick one new upgrade each time

  • You get 1 reroll per level up, but the Ring of Rerolls can extend this

  • Upgrade beacons appear, and allow you to choose boons when charged up. These favor upgrades for abilities you already own when possible.

  • Enemies do not drop Infernicite in this mode, instead you're awarded Infernicite based on every minute you survive, with a +10 bonus for victory.

  • Certain rings behave differently in Arena. You can toggle between arena/classic descriptions in the equipment menu.
