Come try Arkheron’s newest game mode, Spires, during Friday Night Fights.
Spires was created to capture the fast-paced intensity of Beacon team fights in a more combat-focused format. It’s our take on an “Arena” mode, designed to help both new and veteran players sharpen their mechanics, improve team fighting, and experiment with different playstyles.
This is still an early version of what we want Spires to become, and your feedback will help shape its future. Unlike modes such as Turbo or Blitz Ascension, we see Spires as a mode with the potential to become a long-term experience alongside core Ascension.
Check out the full list of activities here, including Spires, Custom Games, and dev livestreams on Discord and Twitch.
