Arena Combat is a mode where players can compete against other players in ritual combat. There are different modes and venues to chose from and the more Victories a player claims, the higher they'll increase in rank, though there are currently no practical rewards for competing in Arena Combat. Players have some control of whom they can connect with through the use of passwords.
