How to Beat the Battle Arena

Level Up Your Party and Vocations

Character Level Up

Silver and Gold battles heavily punish underleveled players and incomplete vocations. If you find yourself repeatedly losing or barely clearing fights, it usually means your level or vocation mastery is lacking.

Using a fully maxed vocation gives access to stronger skills that shorten battles, which is crucial as enemy durability and damage increase in higher tiers.

Use as Few Turns as Possible

Rampage Roads

Getting all the rewards in the Battle Arena requires you not only to defeat all enemies in a set, you will also need to defeat them in a limited amount of turns. If you spend too many turns buffing and healing your party, you will surely run out of time.

Make sure to optimize your team so you can balance between attacking your enemies and supporting your party.

Focus on Dealing Damage Over Healing

Multihit

The Battle Arena is designed around clearing fights quickly rather than staying alive for long periods. Since your HP fully resets after every battle, recovery skills and defensive playstyles lose most of their value.

Instead of wasting turns restoring HP, you should focus on dealing as much damage as possible to end each fight quickly and stay within the turn requirements.

List of All Skills

Multihit and AoE Skills Speed Up Clears

Multi-Hit Skill

Enemies in the Battle Arena are often grouped together, making multihit and AoE skills extremely effective. These skills allow you to damage or defeat multiple enemies in a single turn, reducing the total number of turns needed to clear a battle.

Best Skills Tier List

Reset When Status Effects Become A Problem

In Gold battles especially, status effects like sleep or paralysis can completely shut down your momentum. Since turn efficiency is critical, trying to recover from a bad status often wastes more turns than it’s worth.

Resetting the battle immediately is usually the better option, letting you attempt the fight again without losing valuable turns.
