Know which Arena you enter, when promotion is offered, how scoring works, and why your saved defense lineup matters.
ScopeRecurring Arena event · not Season 2-specific
🟦 Facts
- Gale Arena opens Monday at 01:00 server time and ends Sunday at 24:00.
- Elite-level Arena is for the top 200 in Warzone Total Hero Power; Mid-level is ranks 201–800; Commanders below that enter Entry-level.
- Elite can include Commanders from 1–4 Warzones, Mid-level from 1–2 Warzones, while Entry-level stays within your Warzone.
- Every Commander starts at 1,000 points. Each challenge offers 5 nearby opponents; wins add points and losses remove points, with larger point gaps changing the amount won or lost.
- Daily reward chests unlock after 1, 3, and 5 challenges.
- Arena battles use highest-level Units and cause no unit casualties.
Promotion and defense-lineup behavior
- If Entry-level Hero Power rises into ranks 201–800 after the event opens, a promotion window can move the Commander to Mid-level.
- If a Mid-level Commander rises into the top 200, promotion to Elite-level can be offered; promotion eligibility is retained for the event period.
- The default defense is your strongest squad. After the Arena begins, manually save the defense lineup; an unsaved defense can change when your normal squads change.
🟩 BlackBar Gaming recommends
- Claim the easy 1/3/5 daily challenge chests before worrying about aggressive rank pushing.
- Save a deliberate defense lineup after the Arena starts so ordinary squad edits do not silently change what opponents face.
- Treat a promotion offer as a competition-level choice, not automatically as a reward upgrade; compare the live reward tables before moving.
🟥 Warning
- Challenge attempts are limited each day; use the live Arena counter for the available number.
- Older Arena strings remain in the game; this page follows the dedicated Gale Arena rule set.
