Wild Forest has introduced Arena, a new competitive mode that allows players to assemble decks using any unit in the game regardless of rarity, rank, level, or whether they own NFTs. The mode operates on a separate ELO-based rating system with its own leaderboard, and top seasonal performers will qualify for special tournaments rather than earning direct farming rewards.
Whats Happening
- Arena introduces a separate competitive environment where players can build decks using any unit in the game, with no NFT ownership or prior progression required.
- Players can freely switch between their Primary Deck and Arena Deck at any time and customize units by rank, level, and perks within the mode.
- Arena Decks can be used in Private Battles, enabling practice sessions, coaching, and community or guild tournaments without requiring upfront investment from participants.
- Arena has its own dedicated PvP queue and isolated leaderboard, with wins and losses affecting Arena Rating, which also drives matchmaking.
- Top seasonal Arena players will qualify for special tournaments with significant rewards instead of receiving direct farming rewards within the mode.
- Future seasons may rotate available units, ranks, or perks to create changing competitive environments, with examples including epic-rank-only seasons or limited perk pools.
Dates and Rollout
- The Arena feature was announced on 12 May 2026.
- Community championships and experimental competitive formats using Arena are planned for the coming weeks.
Numbers and Rules
- Arena Rating is determined by an ELO-based system, with wins and losses both affecting the score.
- Arena does not offer direct farming rewards. Reward access is limited to top seasonal performers who qualify for special tournaments.
