Designer Tips

To build your arena, use existing prefabs and galleries centered around a theme. You can modify these buildings by opening up the roofs and adding additional walkways to increase the verticality of the level. This allows more three-dimensional gameplay and dynamic fighting for the players.

You can also use invisible Barriers around the main arena to prevent players from leaving the battlefield.
