[edit] Description

Players start on opposing sides of the map. The central area of the arena has a pond filled with Tar with a slope leading to a small plateau on one side and a plain area on the other.

[edit] Objective

Annihilation: To be victorious, at least one player on your team has to be alive after he has killed the last opponent.

[edit] Common Tactics/Tips

  • The tar will slow you down if you stay a short while in it(both when running and standing still), yet the condition does not start fast enough to effectively help in kiting an enemy.
  • The slope can be used to gain a height advantage when using a bow.
  • Both teams start close enough to each other to select players from the opposing team before the battle starts. Use this to gain early information on the composition of the enemy team.

[edit] Notes

  • Elite skills are not allowed in the low-level version of this arena.
  • Ascalon Arena is commonly referred to as "AA."
  • Although it says the levels are 1-10, players can get up to level 11+ if they level up inside the arena.
  • This is the first arena that Prophecies PvE Characters experience, it's predestroyed form is the Ascalon Academy arena.
  • When competing in the low-level version of this arena, you do not get gladiator points.
