Arena

From Guild Wars Wiki

An arena is a game area meant for PvP matches. They are self-contained, meaning that there is no outside area accessible from within the Arena.

Guild Wars provides the following kinds of arenas:

• Random Arenas

Participants enter the arena individually and are randomly grouped together in teams of 4, playing in random maps with random victory conditions.

• Team Arenas

Participants enter the arena to battle as two teams of four and get to play in random maps with random victory conditions.

• Hero Battles

Participants enter the arena with a group of heroes to play in various maps, gaining scores by killing opponents and keeping shrines captured.

• The maps played on in Arenas are usually small and straightforward with little place to hide from opponents.
