How a match works

One battlefield. Many decisions.

Your champion is only the beginning.

Abilities can turn a skirmish. Army orders and stronghold defense decide what happens next.

01 / CHAMPION

Pick your moment.

Choose a champion with a distinct kit. Join a fight, protect an ally or open a route for your army.

02 / LEGION

Command the push.

Build and upgrade your troops, set their orders and decide where your army puts pressure.

03 / TEAM

Hold what matters.

Coordinate with two teammates, defend your strongholds and keep an eye on the other three teams.

Four core champions

Your questions, answered

Before you enter.

The essentials for a first Legion Arena match.

What is Ellaris: Legion Arena?

A competitive army arena for Windows PC. You control one champion and command a growing legion in a four-team battle. The last team with surviving strongholds wins.

How do I join the Alpha?

Download the Windows installer from the download page. It installs the launcher, which downloads the game on first start and keeps it updated. Sign in with an Ellaris account for online play.

Do I need twelve players?

The arena has four teams of three seats. Open seats can be filled by bots during the alpha, so a full human lobby is not required.

Can I train on my own?

Yes. Local 1v1 training is available to practice selection, champion abilities and army orders.
