The Training Arena is where warriors can test and practice their acquired skills. Here, warriors can test out and learn how to play new new heroes, practice movesets, combos, and tactics, practice countering enemy tactics, and just improve their overall skill.
Map Selection[]
There are only three maps where warriors can practice: The Ring, The Sanctuary, and The Pit. These are open and simple arenas where warriors can practice skill sets without the fear of traps and hazards.
Hero Selection[]
Before you enter the arena, you will pick a hero to practice. You can also practice with heroes that are locked. If you choose to change heroes, you will be taken back to the training menu.
Opponent Selection[]
Before you enter the arena, you will pick an opponent to practice against. You will chose not only what warrior to face but what level AI they possess. You can change opponents at any time in the arena either through the menu or through the quick menu.
Settings[]
Settings can be changed for both you and your opponent. You and your opponent have the same but separate options. The same with Health and Stamina.
Health & Stamina[]
- On: Regular settings. Heroes become exhausted when stamina is depleted and die when health hits zero.
- Regenerate: As it is drained, it will be restored a moment afterwards.
- Heal on Kill: After killing your target, the meter will be restored.
- Off: The meter remains fully charged at all times.
Revenge[]
- On: Regular settings. Revenge is gained when performing defensive acts.
- Always On: Revenge is always active.
- Off: Revenge is no longer a factor.
Attack Stats: a box on the right displays the information about the moves being performed by both your and your opponent. Details are stamina cost and health cost.
Move validation: Indicates when a tagged move it performed correctly with a visual and audio cue. You can change which moves are tagged in the moveset menu.
Opponent Timing Feedback::When your opponent performs and attack, a bar will appear indicating during what period defensive actions should be taken.
Opponent Type[]
- Custom moveset: the opponent performs the moves checked off for it. When they are summoned, all opponents start with no moves check and, therefore, do nothing.
- Presets: Each hero has a preset set of moves that are often seen performed. Check off the moves you wish to face to learn how to counter them.
- AI: Your opponent is seized control by a Bot of the level you selected for them. Lowering the AI level will require a new opponent.
[]
- Follow Player: Opponent will continuously try to close the gap between you and it
- Stay: Opponent will remain in the same location.
