Arena of Solare

Long ago, when Calpheon and Valencia had just discovered the other, they held a friendly bout in an arena where both brutes and refined knights fought one another. Currently, there exists no trace of the tournament, as it has all but disappeared from the annals of history. Its name was the Arena of Solare.
The Arena of Solare is 3 vs 3 match-type PvP content that you can enjoy without having to worry about differences in equipment (gear) specs.
Modes
You can compete in ranked or practice matches.In Ranked Mode, your overall ranking points will increase on wins, and decrease on losses.
During your fights, you will earn “Seals of Solare" which can be used to unlock new gear, magic crystals, and other items available in Arena of Solare.
Ranked Matches can only be entered during specific windows of time as highlighted below.
Note that, in ranked matches, a team composed of three of the same class is not possible.
For those wishing to just practice their skills, the Practice Mode is the Arena of Solare without the added pressure of ranking points. Although you will not gain “Seals of Solare” for a win in Practice Mode, you also will not lose anything in case your team cannot overcome the odds.
During practice mode, you will also be able to see your opponent's defense effects (Super Armor, Forward Guard, etc) displayed above their heads. You can also create parties of 2 or 3 other Adventurers and jump into the action of Arena of Solare together during practice mode.
In practice mode, a team composed of three of the same class is possible.
• All party members must be on the same server in order for the party leader to start the match-making process.
• During the match-making process, any party member can cancel the match search.
• During the match-making process, you cannot invite other party members, change party leader, or leave the party. Also, the matchmaking will be canceled in the event that one party member switches servers or characters, or disconnects from the game.
