Stage Buffs and Debuffs

To prevent battles from dragging on, after a certain number of turns have passed, effects such as reduced heal amount or increased damage may be applied.

Tips!	The 'Sign of the Rift' is a Stage Buff applied to both teams. Buffs and debuffs are applied to all heroes on the battlefield at specific turn milestones.

Realtime Arena Tips and Strategy

Prioritize Certain Skill Effects

In Real-Time Arena, you can activate skills manually makingsome skills are relatively stronger or weaker than in the regular Arena. Generally, skills that are powerful when activated under specific conditions tend to be stronger .

Enemy Equipment is Not Viewable

When choosing a Team to BAN, the opponent can see a hero's and pet's rank and Transcendence level, but they cannot see equipment or Potential status.

It's fine to compromise on equipment for the third team you won't be using and focus your resources on the other two parties.

Point!

You can create a "strong-looking paper tiger party" with highly transcended heroes and to bait them into banning it. .

Team Matchups

Team	Advantage/Disadvantage	Counters
Physical Team	Slightly advantageous against Magic Team Slightly advantageous against Death Team Slightly disadvantageous against Tank Team	Ace Yu
Magic Team	Slightly advantageous against Tank Team Slightly advantageous against Death Team Slightly disadvantageous against Physical Team	Radgrid Sun Wukong
Tank Team	Slightly advantageous against Physical Team Slightly disadvantageous against Magic Team Slightly disadvantageous against Death Team	Elysia Spike
Death Team	Slightly advantageous against Tank Team Slightly disadvantageous against Physical Team Slightly disadvantageous against Magic Team	Radgrid Pallanus

Although it naturally varies depending on the meta and counter heroes, the matchup between pure Team types tends to follow a rock-paper-scissors format of Physical > Magic > Tank > Physical . Also, Death parties are strong against Tank parties that don't include Debuff Removal (or only have Rudy).

By including counter heroes, such as adding Ace to a Physical Team , you can overcome some matchup disadvantages. However, be aware that this might put you at a disadvantage in originally favorable matchups or in even mirror matches.

Check the Opponent's Buffs

A very important point for aiming to activate the consecutive skills of heroes like Lu Bu, Branze & Bransel, or Freyja is to check not only their HP but also the presence of Guts and how many stacks of Damage Nullification/Damage Immunity/Indomitable they have left. Checking for Guts is especially important and should be done first.

Icon	Example of How to Use
Guts	If Kagura does not have Guts, a first-turn consecutive activation skill will be effective
Indomitable	If there are 2 stacks remaining, skills from Lu Bu or Freyja are effective. If there are 3 stacks, a skill from Branze & Bransel is effective
Damage Nullification
Damage Immunity	Pierce skills and buff turn reduction skills are effective

Real Time Arena Best Teams to Ban and Pick

Check Hero Transcendence

While selecting a team to ban, it is important to note that enemy Transcendence levels are visible. This allows you to quickly identify which of your opponent’s teams are highly invested and which are likely placeholders to fill a team slot.

Avoid Bad Matchups

When selecting a team to ban, evaluate the opponent’s roster and prioritize banning the lineup that directly counters your team.

Prioritize Teams with Strong Core Heroes

If you are unsure which team to ban, prioritizing teams with several core heroes such as Freyja, Trude, or Kyle can be an effective strategy.

Notable Core Heroes

Recommended Hero	Details
Freyja	Freyja is a strong pick most teams as she fits into nearly any team and can perform a one-shot combo on the entire enemy team with her skills. At T6, she can wipe a full team even through Immortality.
Trude	Trude is a power house in PvP, and is a solid ban regardless of which team she is in. Her ability to cap damage taken makes her an effective counter to current physical teams centered around Kyle or Teo.
Rudy	Rudy is the backbone of all tank teams, and banning him effectively disables tank compositions in PvP.
Platin	With the resurgence of magic teams, Platin has become a popular option for providing additional HP Alteration and Buff Removal. Banning Platin can hinder both magic and tank teams, making it a worthwhile ban depending on your team setup.
Kyle	Kyle is a common pick in physical teams due to the immense burst damage he can deal to enemy teams. He can also remove Immortality and other buffs, making him a strong counter to heroes such as Teo.
Branze & Bransel	Unlike Celestial and Regular Arena, Realtime Arena allows live skill selection, enabling Branze & Bransel to use their skills at optimal moments, such as using Skill 1 to secure a guaranteed kill or executing an enemy with Skill 2 while also reviving allies.

Tips!	Heroes listed above are strong picks and bans, as they either counter specific heroes or serve as the core of their team.

Real Time Arena Best Team Samples

F2P Starter Team

Front Row	Front Row	Front Row	Front Row	Back Row
Ace DPS	Evan  Tank	Rachel Support DPS	Ariel  Support	Karin Revive

A beginner-friendly team built entirely from free heroes unlocked at the start. Ideal for climbing early ranks without relying on summons. This setup balances survivability, healing, and damage output. 

Sustain Team

Front Row	Front Row	Front Row	Front Row	Back Row
Rudy Tank	Alice Support	Lina  Support	Sun Wukong Damage Dealer Support	Pallanus Karma Trude Damage Dealer

Note!	Trude will require Transcendence 6 to perform at her full potential. Until then, Teo serves as a strong alternative DPS option.

This team focuses on survivability access to Buff Removal, ideal for extended fights and outlasting burst comps. Best against fragile burst teams or single DPS comps.

Note that the Sustain team requires significant investment across all heroes, including Transcendence 6 for Rudy, Lina, Alice, and either Karma or Trude. Platin also benefits from reaching Transcendence 2 for an additional instance of healing.

Pick One
Pike	Karam	Paragon

Melia Magic Team

Front Row	Back Row	Back Row	Back Row	Back Row
Melia Tank	Mercure Sub DPS	Kyrielle Vanessa CC	Freyja  Damage Dealer/Buff Removal	Juri Yeonhee Sun Wukong DPS

With the release of Melia, magic teams have once again seen a resurgence, with Melia easily countering Trude in the late game. The heroes recommended above are interchangeable and can be adjusted as needed depending on your Transcendence.

Recommended Pets

Pick One
Yeonji	Pike	Note

Physical Team

Front Row	Front Row	Front Row	Front Row	Back Row
Elysia Tank/Cleanse	Fai AmeliaColtLu Bu Debuff/CC	Kagura CC	Trude Teo Freyja Branze & Bransel DPS/Tank	Kyle DPS

Note!	Trude will require Transcendence 6 to perform at her full potential. Until then, Teo serves as a strong alternative DPS option.

A Physical Arena team that combines frontline durability, AoE burst damage, and strong crowd control. This composition is designed to hold steady in both early and late-game fights by controlling the battlefield while dealing high burst damage.

The choice between Amelia, Colt, and Fai will depend on which heroes you have available and which one has the highest investment. Additionally, if you have Trude or Branze & Bransel at Transcendence 6, you can replace Teo.

Recommended Pets

Pick One
Eiren	Sherry

Universal Team

Front Row	Front Row	Front Row	Back Row	Back Row
Alice  Lina  Support	Radgrid Tank	Gelidus Crowd Control Damage Dealer	Sun Wukong Damage Dealer Support	Pallanus Damage Dealer

Radgrid is the newest addition to the Universal Team and perfectly synergizes with the current top meta picks such as Gelidus, Sun Wukong, and Pallanus.

This is an example of a tank team leaning towards Support types. Depending on your Transcendence, Lina can also be a formation candidate. The biggest advantage of this formation is that the Incoming Healing Boost effect applies to everyone.

There are two types of rewards in Real Time Arena
Tier Rewards are obtained upon reaching a point goal. Season Rewards are provided at the end of each season.

Special Costumes

Herald of Duels

Special Costumes will be prepared exclusive to Real Time Arena.

What is Real Time Arena

Real Time Arena is a PvP mode that may feature live, head to head battles against other players. Unlike regular Arena, both sides act in real time, creating a more dynamic environment where timing and team composition play a larger role.

Release Date Announced New!

The Real Time Arena Pre-Season will begin on 2/19/2026 (Thu) at 13:00 (UTC+0), providing players with ample time to prepare.

Part of Celestial PvP

The Real Time Arena is part of Celestial PvP alongside other competitive game modes such as Advanced Arena and the Seven Knights Cup.

Features Live Battles

Unlike Advanced Arena and Arena, Real Time Arena will allow both you and your opponent to select skills in real time. This real time decision making also gives players the opportunity to adjust their strategy based on the enemy’s choices as the battle unfolds.

Limited Action Timer

It was revealed that each player will have 10 seconds to select a skill. This timer resets at the start of each new turn, giving players enough time to react and select a skill every turn.

Point System

Opponent's Rank Affects Points

The number of points gained from a victory or lost from a defeat will vary based on the point difference between you and your opponent. Defeating a higher ranked opponent grants a large number of points, while losing to a lower ranked opponent results in a significant point loss.

Win Streak Bonus Until Diamond Rank

Up to Diamond Rank, you will receive an additional win streak bonus for consecutive wins. Once you reach Master Rank or higher, you no longer receive the win streak bonus , so having a high win rate becomes important.

Next Season's Rank

Your starting points for the next season are determined by your final points (rank tier) from the current season. It's a waste to end at Gold 1 or Platinum 1, so it's better if you can aim for Platinum or Diamond Rank and above .
