5-Star Featured Arena Discussion Thread

Summoners!

The influence of the Grandmaster continues to twist and grow the Battlerealm, producing new and exciting features. It’s time to introduce, the 5-Star Featured Hero Arena!

Starting with the next round of Arenas on February 15th, there will be a new 5-Star Featured Hero Arena! This Arena will allow you to take newly acquired 6-Star Champions alongside your 4 and 5-Star Champions and fight for 6-Star Shards and a 5-Star Featured Hero!

This Arena will allow you to use your 4-Star, 5-Star, and 6-Star Champions to compete to be one of 150 Summoners that will take home the 5-Star Featured Champion.

Let’s Breakdown the Basics

The 5-Star Featured Hero Arena will run on the same schedule as our other Featured Hero Arenas, and will be available to all Summoners at Level 40, or over! There are no Beginner or Intermediate Brackets for this Arena.

This will be your first chance to use 6-Star Champions in Arenas, so here’s what you need to know:

- 6-Star Champions have a cooldown of 12 hours, or 20 units to refresh
- A Base 6-Star Champion will award around 3x the points of a Base 5-Star Champion

The cost to look for a match in this new Arena will be 500 Gold per matchup.

Let’s Talk Milestones

A new Arena, a new set of Milestone rewards for you to collect!

Rank Rewards!

You can earn Rank Rewards after hitting the 1 million point milestone, and earn yourself some 5-Star and 6-Star Shards!

The Top Summoner for Each Arena will also take home the Arena Champion Title, which is also still available in the 4-Star Featured Hero Arena. The Title is the exact same as the one in the 4-Star Featured Hero Arena, and will stack with those. As a reminder, these are the Titles you can earn for Placing 1st in the Arena:

WARBOUND: Earned by placing 1st in a 4-Star or 5 Star Featured Hero Arena once.
DESTROYER: Earned by placing 1st in a 4-Star or 5 Star Featured Hero Arena 3 times.
LIVING WEAPON: Earned by placing 1st in a 4-Star or 5 Star Featured Hero Arena 5 times.
SUPER SOLDIER: Earned by placing 1st in a 4-Star or 5 Star Featured Hero Arena 10 times.
GOD OF WAR : Earned by placing 1st in a 4-Star or 5 Star Featured Hero Arena 25 times.
WORLD BREAKER: Earned by placing 1st in a 4-Star or 5 Star Featured Hero Arena 50 times.

Ready your roster Summoners, this all kicks off February 15th with the addition of Killmonger!

It's about time

Looks good!

Another bad idea, those rewards are not all that the milestones are underwhelming as always. Then you put some titles in there to make it seem better.

It is a 5 star arena and you are still giving out premiums.

Sorry to hear that you won't be competing in this arena. Luckily, there are still other Arenas that you can spend some time in! Unless you're just not into Arenas at all, which is okay, because there is no rule saying that you must compete in this Arena, or any other.

EDIT: I totally misread your post. My apologies. I will take your feedback to the team regarding the Milestones, but the real reward in this Arena is not the Milestone Rewards, but the Rank rewards, especially the top Rewards.

Just bad milstone Pliz Lets US get. Granmaster shard. It abudt time to Lets US get this shard aside from Buy Them with unit

Romario26

So just 150 players get a featured 5* and the rest that grind trying to get a 5* will get at best 2000 5* shards?
Will there be a basic 5* arena soon?

Grandmaster Shards are not included because this Arena is available to all players, and not just The Uncollected.

No plans for a 5-Star Basic just yet, but maybe in the future.

I had a feeling it was coming. I'm happy. This is good news. Thanks!

With the addition of the 5* featured arena, will you be removing the 5* champions from the 4* featured arena?

Just make it exclusive to uncollected players, let’s face it everyone that has a chance at reaching final milestones will be uncollected anyways.

And the lack of grandmaster shards is just the tip of the iceberg, the milestone rewards in general are just plain awful.

Nope. There will be no change to the other Arenas. We think that having more Arenas that use the same Champions will allow for a greater spread of participation, potentially making the other Arenas more accessible to all.

Exactly what I was thinking! Thank you!

Milestones are trash.

Chimp

Why are we still getting premium hero shards/crystals?

Lsilva12

the introducing of 5* arenas were expected, but I would tell a few things:

-The Milestones are way to high for almost all the comunity.

- A 150 pool to get a 5* is so low and that will make the cutoffs be high af.

- PHCs at milestones are kinda weak for the people which will grind those arenas, specially now with all 2*,3*,4* being outdated.

After telling it, in my opinion this pool should be increased to at least the 800 pool we have in the 4* featured arenas, also these milestones rewards should be reduced and change these phcs for GMC shards for us uncollected players at least.

Whales of the MCoC world.. rejoice!

DarkestDestroyer

The units for milestones are really poor?

15 units at 12mil... are you being serious

DarkestDestroyer

Also why not any basics?

Bit rubbish just having features, scores are gonna be about 100mil

The Final Milestone is 12 million!!!! That’s way too high please lower it before release.

They expect this to be high cutoff Arena. top 150 finishers cutoff will be in 30M.
still 12M milestone is 10-hour of MCoC work.
no wonder people hire Merc to run arenas, paying $8-10 per million while they work and make $50/hr.

Miike the real reward is gonna go to people spending 3 odins for an arena.

For all other normal players with normal life's you could make the milestones more generous let's be realistic here

Miike has a point. It's open to everyone at Level 40 ad up. People will still be running Milestones regardless of whether they can Rank or not. Anything more than that would pretty much cause an imbalance in progress.

Raganator

Where is the incentive to run this arena if you are not going for top 150?

Eb0ny-O-M4w

The milestones are too high ... It almost seems that this arena is for iOs user's only, since the load times on android don't allow a player to do that many points (or at least it doesn't allow a good number of android user's to do it)

Gamer

Im just hops the point to get 2k 5 shard. Wuld be arund 8m But im pretty sure it wuld be over.
