3v3 Arena is the multi-squad side of the Arena. Instead of one fight, you bring up to three squads and each fight uses a different lineup. It rewards accounts that built more than one strong squad: if you put everything into Squad 1, your second and third squads hand your opponent free wins.
How it works
- Open the Arena and switch to the 3v3 Arena tab, next to Glory Arena.
- The bracket is cross-server: several servers share one ranking, shown under the title, with a countdown to the end of the season.
- Prepare up to three squads. Each fight in a match uses a different one.
- Defense sets the three lineups other players attack. Log shows recent fights, Rewards shows the rank rewards, and Revenge lets you hit back at someone who beat you.
- Your available challenges are limited, so pick your fights.
- Typical rewards are 3v3 rank rewards, season prestige, and materials.
The Arena also lets you choose which squad’s research bonus to bring (T1 for Squad 1 through T4 for Squad 4), so research on your second and third squads matters here too.
Squad goals
- Squad 1: your full Warrior core, the strongest lineup on your account.
- Squad 2: a Tactical or hybrid tank-and-DPS lineup.
- Squad 3: SSR bridges and Assault fillers.
Balance stars and gear so that no squad is a free kill. Only start building Squad 2 once Squad 1 is competitive.
Recommended squads
Squad 1: Warrior core
| Frontline | Backline |
|---|---|
| Arnold, Dirk | Monroe, Carter, Nora |
Your account’s ceiling. Don’t weaken it to prop up Squad 3 early. A good starting point is to copy your Garrison Squad 1 as your first 3v3 lineup.
Squad 2: Tactical hybrid
| Frontline | Backline |
|---|---|
| Vince, Bekka | Leah, Kim Mina, Aria |
Your second real core once you have Bekka and Leah. Vince is the Hero Pass bruiser tank; use Zara if you skipped the pass. Aria is a Warrior hero here as a filler, so swap in Taylor if you’d rather have five Tactical heroes for the squad bonus.
Squad 3: Assault and SSR depth
| Frontline | Backline |
|---|---|
| Jack, Toxina | Yana, Victor, Silas |
The third lineup for 3v3. Silas’s Suicide Robot and Victor’s execute keep this squad from being a free win for the other side. Toxina is a Warrior tank filling in; Celeste makes it a full Assault five.
Priority heroes
| Hero | Priority | Rarity | Faction | Role | Tier | Squad |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Arnold | #1 | UR | Warrior | Tank | S | 1 |
| Monroe | #1 | UR | Warrior | DPS | S | 1 |
| Bekka | #3 | UR | Tactical | Tank | S | 2 |
| Leah | #3 | UR | Tactical | DPS | S | 2 |
| Vince | #3 | UR | Tactical | Tank | S | 2 (Hero Pass) |
| Zara | #4 | SSR | Warrior | Tank | S | 1 or 2 |
| Yana | #5 | UR | Assault | DPS | A | 3 |
| Victor | #5 | UR | Assault | DPS | A | 3 |
Tips
- Don’t open Squad 2 until Squad 1 is competitive. A strong first squad still wins its fight.
- SSR heroes like Zara, Nora, and Logan keep Squads 2 and 3 from collapsing early in the season.
- Check your defense lineups after any hero changes, since they’re what other players attack while you’re offline.
