Duels For Diwali - Arena Mode

Triumph over the competition in Arena Mode!

Greetings Yodhas!

During our last community poll, we asked our players to pick the next update we prioritize. We’re excited to announce that “draft mode”, or as it’s called in-game, "Arena Mode" is here!

New Game Mode: Arena Mode

Arena mode is a new game mode that allows you to play with curated Heroes and Cards, even if they’re locked content. Draft your Arena Mode deck, and you’re ready to play the gauntlet of six matches waiting between you and the prize.

Tickets are your way into the Diwali Arena. After tapping duels in the game lobby select Arena and use a ticket to enter Arena Mode. Studio Sirah is giving you some tickets to get started. If they run out, tickets are available in the Arena Store. Once entered you’re locked in for 6 duels where every win matters.

Drafting will show you some familiar Heroes and cards, alongside others you may not own yet. Choose one from three Heroes on your screen. You can pick your familiar comfort pick or, roll the dice like Shakuni Mama and experiment with a less familiar Hero. Once your hero is selected, it’s time to build your deck. Choose from three random cards offered to you onscreen. Cards offered will cycle based on synergies with each other, rarity, and cost. Your chosen Hero and crafted deck will be by your side for the matches ahead.

You won’t be able to change your deck or Hero, so think hard and build the best deck possible with these offerings!

Now, the true challenge begins with a six-match gauntlet. Take on other players in PvP battles and win all six matches on your ticket to climb the Arena Mode leaderboard. Winning 6 duels without a single loss rewards you with a Gold and Silver medal. If you lose a duel on this ticket but still complete your six wins, you get a Gold medal. Three Silver Medals will convert to a Gold Medal. If you lose twice though, your ticket expires and you need to start again with a new ticket.

Each Gold Medal earned will help you climb the event leaderboard and collect limited-time rewards.

Your first Gold Medal will earn you 400 Gold. Your second Gold Medal will earn you an Epic Card. Your third Gold Medal will earn you a Legendary Card. Your fourth Gold Medal will earn you 250 Shards. Your fifth Gold Medal will earn you an Epic Card. Your sixth Gold Medal will earn you 1250 Gold. The top 10 players on the Arena Mode leaderboard will each earn a Karma Pass, so keep collecting those precious Medals!

Don’t forget to check out the store for exclusive discounts on Coins and Shards during Diwali. These discounts will run until the 11th of November, so if you’ve been waiting to unlock a particular Hero or grab a new board like the recently added Meru board, now’s the time!

Remember to check in over the next two weeks and climb the leaderboard for a chance to win the Karma Pass and more rewards.

Happy Diwali from the Studio Sirah Team, we’ve added a new firecracker emote in-game as a gift so you can light up the Arena!

We’ll be back to working on Kaikeyi and some other planned overhauls after the Diwali break.

If you’d like to get involved with our community and look for early sneak peeks, here are our links: Discord, Instagram, and YouTube.

Arena Mode will make a return in the future.

See you on the battlefield! Studio Sirah
