Introduction 

Ranked Mode

 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 opponents defense options (Super Armor, Forward guard etc) displayed above their heads. You can also now 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.  

Practice Mode Party Matching 

- You can start a practice match with up to 3 people in a party.  
- 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, 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, characters or disconnects from the game.   

How to Participate 

You can participate in the Arena of Solare from Lv. 60 with a character that has completed their Succession/Awakening questline. Both season and non-season characters can participate.
