[edit] Description
The map has two routes to the opposing team. The main route to the west splits into two chokepoints in the center of the map, the alternative route leads through a poisonous pool. There is also a connection of both routes in the middle leading from west up a slope over a bridge to a central raised area and finally down to the pool to the east.
[edit] Objective
Annihilation: To be victorious, at least one player on your team has to be alive after he has killed the last opponent.
[edit] Common Tactics/Tips
- When walking through the poisonous pool, it's possible to evade getting poisoned by walking where the distance from one side to the safe central area is the shortest.
- If you stand on the bridge it's possible to attack enemies in melee who are directly below you, and vice versa.
- Make sure your team stays together. On this map it's very easy to accidentally split up before the battle if you are not careful, leaving you at a disadvantage.
- This map is notorious for abuses by teams that avoid combat and run around, often using teleportation skills.
[edit] Trivia
- This arena used to be the PvP arena for Lion's Arch. Following the release of the Battle Isles, people with access to Kryta and beyond could go to said isles for most PvP affairs, thus eliminating the purpose of this arena. It was since relocated, though it can still be seen on the World Map.
- This arena, before the release of Competition Arenas was a 6v6 arena with a level cap of 17.
