Hi everybody, 1 week reminder to sign up. I’ve added some rule clarifications below.

 

There’s 1 person looking for a partner in this thread plus I’ve seen people asking in arena chat and discord. Remember on top of the huge influence prizes you get: bragging rights (most important), maybe a custom Discord title if you want, and potentially you can get featured in some of the various community content like the possibly upcoming Terminal, people’s Twitch/Youtube, and the totally real Arena magazine (Aug ‘19 featuring the previous champs).

 

 

 

Clarifying a few questions and concerns that have been brought up:

 

Can you use temp powers which can’t be disabled in arena? (e.g. mystic fortune)
Yes. They’re accessible for everyone to get without major hurdles and pretty minor buffs, plus I can't really police this in every match.

 

Can I leave my team as a defender to get the extra vigilance damage boost?
Yes.

 

If a teammate DCs in the first 2 minutes restart the match. If they DC in the rematch you must play it out. Both players (barring DCs) must stay in the match for the entire duration. If a team is found to be doing something really stupid like having one player “DC” when they’re ahead and leaving a stalker or tank in T9 in the rest of the match they’ll be given a loss. I don't expect cheesy stuff like this to be an issue, just use your best judgement.

 

If a team is shown to be running non-alpha incarnates (in combat logs for example) they’ll be given a loss for the round.
