Arena Matchmaking
Queue for balanced 1v1, 3v3, or 5v5 matches, build a seasonal ELO rating, climb each bracket's leaderboard, and claim ranked rewards.
Overview: What The Arena Is
What It Is
The Arena is Rayvin's ranked PvP ladder. Solo players and parties queue into balanced 1v1, 3v3, and 5v5 matches that are added to your seasonal ELO rating, Hall of Fame, and reward table. It is the quiet, structured counterpart to the public events: you fight with a fixed loaner kit, not your own gear.
How It Works
Open the Arena window in game and join a queue. The matchmaker first searches opponents within 100 ELO, widening the search as you wait, and tries to avoid repeating the same opponent for 30 minutes. Once both sides accept, the match starts and is played to the mode's kill limit or time limit; results then update ELO. Every bracket has its own rating, and the first 10 matches act as calibration with wider rating swings.
Key Rules
- Each bracket starts at 1,000 ELO; a single match result can move at most 40 rating points. Draws are supported.
- 1v1 invites allow 15 seconds to accept; team prematch confirmations allow 20 seconds.
- Teams must enter with the exact party size, and every member must be close to the leader.
- Season rewards are stored for eligible ranks and are claimed from the Arena panel.
How To Use It
Reach level 500. For solo play, use !arena while out of combat to enter the waiting room in 1v1 mode. For 3v3 or 5v5, form an exact-size party and have the leader use the Arena entrance with teammates within five tiles. Pick the correct mode, wait for a match, accept the invitation, and claim ranked rewards from the Arena interface when the season ends.
How To Enter
