[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. It is essentially a large circle that you can walk around to both sides.
[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 or a ranged weapon. It can also be a help when hiding because there is a tree that is occasionally glitched so others cannot attack you there.
- 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.
- 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, its predestroyed form is the Ascalon Academy arena.
- When competing in the low-level version of this arena, you do not get gladiator points.
