Practice Mode
For those wishing to just practice their skills, Practice Mode is the Arena of Solare without the added pressure of ranking points. Although you will not gain “Seals of Solare” for a win in Practice Mode, you also will not lose anything in case your team cannot overcome the odds.
During practice mode, you will also be able to see your opponent’s defense options (Super Armor, Forward guard etc.) displayed above their heads. You can also now create parties of 2 or 3 Adventurers and jump into the action of Arena of Solare together during practice mode.
