What is the Colosseum?

The Arigora Colosseum, also just called the Arena, is a cross-server PvP event added with the Neverfall expansion. Level 100 players join through the NPC Arigora Agent Khroatis, who stands in West Archosaur, South Archosaur and Neverfall. Fights are 3 against 3 or 6 against 6, with a fixed squad or a random one, and the arena is open every day from 00:00 to 12:00 CET.
Squads
Any level 100 player can found a permanent squad at Khroatis: choose 3v3 or 6v6, pick a name and pay a one-time fee in silver coins. The founder becomes leader and can invite or remove members. The squad window opens with Alt + J.
| Squad | Fee (silver coins) | Members | Class rule |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3v3 | 30,000,000 | up to 5 | No repeated class |
| 6v6 | 50,000,000 | up to 10 | At most 2 of one class |
- You can belong to one 3v3 and one 6v6 squad at the same time, but you only get rewards from the one with the higher score.
- If you leave a squad after fighting with it, you cannot join another until the Colosseum resets on Wednesday. Your squad score is wiped, but your personal score stays.
- Random squads let you team up with players from other servers, but they give no rewards and do not count for the weekly quest. They are just for fun.
Matchmaking and battle rules
- Talk to Khroatis and pick Squad Matchmaking (the leader starts it with a full team) or Personal Matchmaking (you are grouped with other solo players). The search lasts up to 10 minutes and cannot be cancelled.
- When a match is found, every member has 75 seconds to accept. You will not face the same squad twice in a row.
- Before the fight you get 90 seconds to prepare and cannot leave the waiting area. The Colosseum Special Elixir can be used then without putting other elixirs on cooldown.
- Flyers, mounts and all elixirs are allowed, but genie energy recovers at only a quarter of the normal rate. Killed players stay on the field as ghosts who cannot attack or be hit. A disconnect counts as a death. A battle lasts at most 10 minutes.
Score and rewards
A new squad's first ten battles are placement matches that set its starting squad score: 0-1 wins give 1350, 2-3 give 1425, 4-6 give 1500, 7-8 give 1575 and 9-10 give 1650. A player who has just joined a squad also plays ten placement matches before they can spend Arigora Coins. Your personal score puts you in a group; higher groups get better rewards.
| Group | Personal score |
|---|---|
| Darkmetal Warrior | 1-1399 |
| Finesteel Fighter | 1400-1599 |
| Bronze Warrior | 1600-1799 |
| Mithril Knight | 1800-1999 |
| Goldlight Champion | 2000+ |
| Platinum Warlord | 2200+ and top 50 |
- Weekly rewards follow your squad score and can be claimed after 08:00 on Wednesday from the squad window (Alt + J), while standing in a safe zone. Rewards you do not claim are lost.
- To qualify you need at least ten battles, and your battles must be more than 30% of your squad's total. If your personal score differs from the squad score by more than 200, your personal score is used instead.
- The weekly quest "Colosseum Battle (Weekly)" from Sixtus in Neverfall pays Arigora Coins for 15 squad battles; Personal Matchmaking fights do not count. The fan wiki says this weekly resets on Sunday.
- Arigora Coins buy titles, the Special Colosseum Elixir, War Avatar packs and more, and they are the main material for grade 17 capes and rings.
Seasons
The Colosseum used to run seasons in which squads raced for the highest score. At the end, the top 100 players of 3v3 and the top 100 of 6v6 won titles, Arigora Coins, exclusive fashion (the Snowstorm Set) and an exclusive mount (the Venerated Dragon). Seasons are inactive now, and it is not known if they will return.
