Arena of Solare

Last Edited on : Aug 8, 2025, 11:47 (UTC+3)
 

Long ago, when Calpheon and Valencia had just discovered the other, they held a friendly bout in an arena where both brutes and refined knights fought one another. Currently, there exists no trace of the tournament, as it has all but disappeared from the annals of history. Its name was the Arena of Solare.

 

The Arena of Solare is 3 vs 3 match-type PvP content that you can enjoy without having to worry about differences in equipment (gear) specs.

Modes

You can compete in ranked or practice matches.
 
 
◈ Ranked Mode

In Ranked Mode, your overall ranking points will increase on wins, and decrease on losses.

 

Ranked Matches can only be entered during specific windows of time as highlighted below. Note that, in ranked matches, a team composed of three of the same class is not possible.

 

Arena of Solare ranked mode is available during the following hours:

 

Ranked Matches Mon-Fri Sat-Sun
17:00 ~ 25:00
13:00 ~ 25:00
 
 
◈ Practice Mode

For those wishing to just practice their skills, the Practice Mode is the Arena of Solare without the added pressure of ranking points. Although rewards are diminished compared to ranked season rewards, you also will not lose anything in case your team cannot overcome the odds.

 

You can match for the Arena of Solare Practice Match, even outside an ongoing ranked season, by going to the main menu (hotkey: Esc) → War (F7) → Arena of Solare → [Find Match].
Arena of Solare practice match hours: 

 

Practice Matches Mon-Fri Sat-Sun
10:00 ~ 25:00
10:00 ~ 25:00

 

Note that participants will be matched to others of similar skill levels.

 

During practice mode, you will also be able to see your opponent's defense effects (Super Armor, Forward Guard, etc) displayed above their heads. You can also create parties of 2 or 3 other Adventurers and jump into the action of Arena of Solare together during practice mode.

 

In practice mode, a team composed of three of the same class is possible.

 
 
◈ Practice Mode Party Matching 

• You can start a practice match with up to 3 people in a party.  
• All party members must be on the same server in order for the party leader to start the match-making process. 
• During the match-making process, any party member can cancel the match search.
• During the match-making process, you cannot invite other party members, change party leader, or leave the party. Also, the matchmaking will be canceled in the event that one party member switches servers or characters, or disconnects from the game.
 
 
◈ Custom Match

In a custom match, you can enjoy the Arena of Solare with friends.
A custom match can be created through the Arena of Solare UI, where you can directly invite participants to join the game and assign teams.
 

How to Participate 

You can participate in the Arena of Solare from Lv. 60 with a character that has completed their Succession/Awakening questlines. Both season and non-season characters can participate.

 

You can use the Arena of Solare menu by going to the main menu (hotkey: Esc) → War (F7).

 

As mentioned above, Ranked Mode is only available during certain times, while Practice Mode is available outside of these times.

Arena of Solare Rules 

In the Arena of Solare, you will not only be provided with equalized gear, but you will be restricted from using potions, meals, elixirs, etc. Your character's recovery effects, AP, DP, Accuracy, and Evasion stats will each be applied according to a set ratio.

 

The following set of rules will additionally be applied in the Arena of Solare.

 

  • The team with the best 3 out of 5 rounds will win. Each round will last for a maximum of 3 minutes.
    • At the end of the match, the party with the highest total HP amongst the surviving players wins.
    • If the total HP is the same, the party with the higher total damage wins.
    • If total HP and damage are the same, the match will conclude in a tie.
  • You cannot use any type of potions, meals, elixirs, etc., and certain skills will be adjusted.
  • All potions are restricted. However, your character's default HP/MP/WP/SP recovery will be greatly increased.
    • The amount naturally recovered will be comparable to using Ornette's or Odore's Spirit Essences with a Fairy that has acquired the skill, "Miraculous Cheer V".
  • The Guard Gauge will be equalized across all classes.
  • Any active meal, elixir, and perfume effects will be nullified, and their remaining time paused when entering the Arena of Solare. The effects and remaining time will resume upon returning to your original location after the match ends.
  • While in the arena, max HP will increase by 10,000, and Critical Hit Rate, and Attack, Casting, and Moving Speeds will be set to level 5.
  • Upon entering the arena, Black Spirit's Rage, HP, MP, SP, WP, cooldown, and other functions will be completely recovered.

◈ Elemental Traces


They spawn in places within the arenas. Upon destroying them, you can obtain boons from each of the elements.
You and party members nearby can receive the effects of these elemental boons (excluding Wind's Song).
10 seconds before the elemental traces appear, a light effect will indicate the spot where they will appear. 

 

– Flora's Breath: Recovers HP.

 

 

 

– Fire's Warmth: Increases All AP for 20 seconds.

 

 

– Wind's Song: Increases Attack/Casting/Movement Speed by 25% for 30 seconds. However, you cannot share the buff with your party.

A total of 10 placement matches will be played per family. If you win, you will receive 2.4 times more victory points than usual. Points will not be deducted upon losing during placement matches. However, the penalty for deserting a match will be the same.
 

Match Points and Emblems of Solare

Points will be awarded or deducted according to the results of the match, and you will be awarded an Emblem of Solare based on your point bracket.
 
 

You can earn more points the longer you maintain a winning streak.

 

 

◈ Ranking Point Deduction


If you do not participate the matches for certain period in higher score range, your score will be periodically reduced based on your grade.
