# The Arena - PvP competition

The Arena is the main Player vs Player (**PvP**) experience in Nine Chronicles. Players can challenge each other to climb the leaderboard and earn rewards while doing so.

![Main Arena screen with Leaderboard](https://4093852953-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2Fk52GDFQC2iLkf9e0z5MU%2Fuploads%2F13hYJgcgOCMoL9b90kfS%2FMain%20Arena%20Screen.png?alt=media\&token=9e228bc7-a1ff-4d4a-8363-7350aed2e364)

While fighting in the arena, players are rewarded with materials for [consumables](/nine-chronicles-1/game-overview/items/consumables.md) that they can use in the [Campaign](/nine-chronicles-1/game-overview/the-campaign.md) to increase their Combat Power and further increase their chances of winning against the various enemies that they will have to face. 

In the current implementation of the Arena, players have five entry tickets available each round which refresh every [2800 blocks](/nine-chronicles-1/game-overview/time-in-nine-chronicles.md). Each Challenge requires one entry ticket and depending on the outcome of the fight vs the opposing player, the player's rating is affected.

The **leaderboard** of the Arena resets every **40 arena rounds** or [112,000 blocks](/nine-chronicles-1/game-overview/time-in-nine-chronicles.md)

The Arena periodically hosts competitive seasons during which players are able to compete for [$NCG](/nine-chronicles-1/nine-chronicles-gold-ncg.md) prizes as well as unique NFTs during a limited time period!
