# Arena The **Arena** is the competitive endgame: you fight other players' arena teams asynchronously and climb the **arena ladder**. Every player with an arena team holds a fixed **rank** on it. Unlocked from **Chapter 2**. The arena is split into tabs: **Battles**, **Arena team**, **Monthly reward**, **Ranking**, **History**, **Marks shop** and **Rules**. ## Your arena team In the **Arena team** tab you field up to **five Mebulis** that **attack** for you and **defend** your rank in the arena. - This team is **independent of your active team**. You can switch your active team for story, hard missions or quests at any time without changing your arena team. - Your arena Mebulis may be training in the **Resonance Chamber** or away on a **quest** and still fight in the arena. - The Mebuli list has a **name search** and is split into pages. - The front row (slots 1–3) stands in front, the back row (slots 4–5) behind. - At most **one Mebuli with Rally** per team. ### Jewelry in the arena team When you **save**, the arena team remembers which piece of jewelry sits on which Mebuli. It fights with exactly that jewelry, even if you equip the pieces elsewhere afterwards. If you upgrade a piece, the new level applies right away. If you dismantle it, it is missing from the arena team. - The jewelry view in the Arena team tab shows this saved jewelry. It cannot be changed there: equip the jewelry in [Equipment](https://mebulalegends.bitmeup.com/wiki/en/guide/items/) and save the arena team again. - Storage, the marketplace and the item window warn you when a piece is used in the arena team. - If a jewelry slot in the arena team is empty and matching jewelry is in [Storage](https://mebulalegends.bitmeup.com/wiki/en/guide/storage/), you get a **system mail** once a day. ## The arena ladder - New players in the arena start on the **last rank**. - The **Battles** tab lists the players up to **10 ranks above you**. Only those can be attacked. Rank 1 has no opponents above. - **Win:** you swap ranks with your opponent. - **Loss:** your rank stays. - Ranks carry over past the end of the month. ## How it works 1. Set up your team in the **Arena team** tab and save it. It is also your **defense**. 2. In the **Battles** tab pick an opponent above you and hit **Attack**. 3. The battle runs **automatically**. Your **arena team** fights with rows and ultimates, but without your input. Your line-up is **frozen** when the battle starts. Anything you change afterwards only counts in the next battle. An attempt counts as soon as the **battle starts**. If you leave a running battle, the attempt is still gone. You get **5 attempts per day** (reset at midnight German time). **Mebula Plus** members get **one extra attempt** every day, and **VIP level 3** and **VIP level 6** add one more each. If that's not enough, you can buy up to **5 more attempts a day** with **gems** (20 gems, then 40, 60 and so on). ## Leagues Your league follows from your rank relative to all ranks: | League | Ranks | |--------|-------| | Master | top 5 % | | Diamond | up to 15 % | | Platinum | up to 35 % | | Gold | up to 55 % | | Silver | up to 80 % | | Bronze | rest | ## Monthly reward At the end of the month you get a reward based on your rank. It requires **at least 5 battles in the month**. You claim it in the **Monthly reward** tab, which also shows the history of the last 12 months. | Rank | Gems | Marks | Upgrade fragments | |---|---|---|---| | Rank 1 | 1000 | 1600 | 120 | | Rank 2–3 | 800 | 1300 | 100 | | Master | 600 | 1000 | 80 | | Diamond | 400 | 700 | 55 | | Platinum | 260 | 450 | 35 | | Gold | 170 | 300 | 25 | | Silver | 100 | 180 | 15 | | Bronze | 50 | 90 | 8 | ## Ranking The **Ranking** tab shows the whole ladder by rank, in pages of 20 ranks. ## History In the **History** tab you see your **attacks** and your **defense** of the last **7 days**. You can replay every battle with **Watch**. When another player attacks you, your **arena team** automatically defends, even while you're offline. For every defense that holds you earn **arena marks**, credited the next time you open the arena. ## Rewards per battle - **Win:** **12 Arena Marks** - **Loss:** **3 Arena Marks** - **Defense held:** **6 Arena Marks** Every arena battle also grants **10 [player XP](https://mebulalegends.bitmeup.com/wiki/en/guide/player-level/)**, win or lose. ## Arena shop Spend your **Arena Marks** in the **Marks shop** tab or in the [Shop](https://mebulalegends.bitmeup.com/wiki/en/guide/shop/) with the **Mark Traders**: | Offer | Cost | |-------|------| | 30 gems | 50 | | 1 Upgrade fragment | 50 | | 60 Gear Shards | 40 | | 100 Mebuli Dust | 35 | ::: info Why arena battles always run automatically Otherwise a present attacker could steer while the absent defender could not. That is why only your line-up counts: team, levels, ultimates and gear. :::
