Well, if it isn't Hans!

If you're here it must mean you're wanting to give the Colosseum a go, right?

What is it, you ask? Don't tell me you came all the way out here without knowing at least that much!

Ha ha ha. Oh Hans, you never change.

Fine, I'll teach you a thing or two about the Colosseum then.

The Colosseum is a battleground located beneath the Arena.

Summoners can fight each other just like in the Arena, but the rules are a bit different.

First of all, all Summoners are entitled to both a first and second strike, which means that all battles are decided in two rounds.

And for each round, depending on whether you strike first or second, you will have to choose a battle formation to proceed.

The term "battle formation" should be self-explanatory, but it basically just refers to how your Units will move on the battlefield.

However, Colosseum battle formations have their own strengths and weaknesses, so make sure to choose wisely!

If your opponent chooses a formation stronger than yours, that means you'll lose that round.

So the point of it all is to choose the formation which will allow you to use your battle power in the most efficient way possible.

......

You with me so far? You look like you're spacing out a little...

Anyway, let's move on, shall we?

Let's talk about rewards and classes.

Well, well! Looks like you're more focused now that we're talking about rewards, eh?

When you win at the Colosseum, you get special points called Colosseum Battle Points (CBP).

If you collect a bunch of these, you can trade them for rewards later at the Exchange Hall.

There are also different classes in the Colosseum.

A certain Cost limit is assigned to each class you participate in.

However, there are classes without Cost limits in which you can get more CBP than usual...

...but the opponents awaiting you there are pretty powerful, so don't push yourself harder than you need to at first.

But knowing you I'd say you'll be reaching that class in no time.

By the way, the rewards you can trade for are also divided into different ranks.

Once you have claimed all the rewards in one specific rank, the rewards for the next rank will become available for exchange.

I hear that the higher the rank, the better the rewards, so make sure to exchange your points often!

And one last thing.

The Colosseum also has a seasonal ranking system.

This ranking is based on all the points you have collected during a certain period of time.

And actually, there are rankings for each class...

...so there's a chance you could make it into the rankings for all classes if you're lucky enough!

So? Are you excited to get started now?

Personally, I don't really care for stuff like this or the Arena.

Ha ha ha. C'mon, don't act so surprised.

The truth is that I only came here to explain all this stuff to you because I was ordered to by the Summoners' Hall.

But I'm looking forward to seeing you in action anyway!

It's gonna be great having you show off your amazing skills against other Summoners.

So, do you have a better idea of how the Colosseum works now?

It might be more difficult than the Arena...

...but it's something new, so it might be good to just give it a try.

Oh yeah, don't forget that you can get the tickets you need to fight in the Colosseum by winning at the Arena.

But just this one time the Hall has been gracious enough...

...to let you have 3 tickets to start with! So here you go!

Now, why don't you hurry up and try your luck?

I gotta go though. But I'll be waiting to hear about your victories soon!
