Battleground

Diablo Immortal - Battleground
Battleground is the most basic form of PvP in Diablo Immortal. In Battleground, players visit the Immortal Overlook in Westmarch and engage in 8v8 team-based PvP battles. Battleground is where players can engage in PvP before attempting the endgame modes of Cycle of Strife.

You can choose to be part of the Attackers, who aim to destroy the Ancient Heart and slay Guardians along the way—or the Defenders, who prevent the Attackers from reaching the Ancient Heart.

Cycle of Strife

Diablo Immortal - Immortals vs Shadows
Cycle of Strife is an endgame system, where two factions, the Immortals and the Shadows engage in combat. The Cycle of Strife has several modes within it, with around half of them containing PvP features.

Cycle of Strife Game Modes
Vault Raids Rite of Exile
The Challenge of the Immortal

Vault Raids

The Immortals can store away their treasures in their own Vault, while the Shadows test the Immortals by raiding said Vaults. As a Shadow, you can attempt to steal the treasures stored within. As an Immortal, you can attempt to defend your treasure against these invading Shadows.

Rite of Exile

A gameplay mode for Shadows, where they can form teams called Dark Houses. These Dark Houses compete against each other to become the top Dark House, which is then deemed worthy enough to challenge the Immortals.

The Challenge of the Immortal

Once the Rite of Exile is done, the reigning Dark House pits 30 Shadows against a single Immortal, who is transformed into a powerful raid boss only for that encounter. Whoever wins this battle will become the new Immortals.
