In the arena, you can battle with other players according to various rules, such as one-on-one duels, up to six-person brawls/cooperative battles, and battles by summoning spiritual bodies.

Up to 6 players can participate, split into 2 teams in a joint battle, fight against each other as enemies in a brawl, and compete for the number of defeats within the time limit. You can use each of the Scarlet Chalice Bottle and the Blue Drop Chalice Bottle once. In a joint battle, the Holy Grail bottle used by defeating other players will be replenished.
The ban on ashes will be lifted at the “Kayrid Arena”. In a duel, a brawl, or a joint fight, you can use the ashes to summon spirits. Only one cremated remains can be used at a time, but in brawls and joint battles, if the player character dies and revives, the cremated remains can be used again.
