# Arena - PVP

The Arena in Re:Anima allows you to battle other players in intense PvP matches. Defeating opponents earns you Arena points and increases your seasonal ranking.&#x20;

To climb the ranks, you'll need to craft smart Hero lineups and combat strategies to outplay the others.

## Matchmaking

In the Arena, you are matched against opponents based on your Arena Points. Winning a match earns you points, while losing deducts points. The amount of points gained or lost is determined by the relative ranking of you and your opponent. Defeating a higher ranked summoner awards more points compared to beating a lower ranked one. Similarly, losing to a lower ranked opponent costs more points than losing to a tough higher ranked summoner.

## Rank Rewards&#x20;

There are tiers to work through, from Bronze up through King. At the end of each Arena season, higher-ranked players receive more generous rewards.

There are 7 ranks and they are - Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond, Legend and King.
