# 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.

While fighting in the arena, players are rewarded with materials for [consumables](https://planetarium.gitbook.io/nine-chronicles-1/game-overview/items/consumables) that they can use in the [Campaign](https://planetarium.gitbook.io/nine-chronicles-1/game-overview/the-campaign) to increase their Combat Power and further increase their chances of winning against the various enemies that they will have to face.&#x20;

In the current implementation of the Arena, players have five entry tickets available each round which refresh every [2800 blocks](https://planetarium.gitbook.io/nine-chronicles-1/game-overview/time-in-nine-chronicles). 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](https://planetarium.gitbook.io/nine-chronicles-1/game-overview/time-in-nine-chronicles)

The Arena periodically hosts competitive seasons during which players are able to compete for [$NCG](https://planetarium.gitbook.io/nine-chronicles-1/nine-chronicles-gold-ncg) prizes as well as unique NFTs during a limited time period!&#x20;
