Exos Heroes Real-Time Arena Arkvurze Guide

The Arkvurze Pre-Season might have stumbled at first, but a fresh look at the newly unveiled battle format makes it clear that strategy and preparation are more critical than ever. With up to 15 heroes banned per match, drafting, planning, and synergizing are now key skills players must master. Here's everything you need to know to dominate Arkvurze battles.

What Is Arkvurze?

Arkvurze is a highly competitive mode in Exos Heroes, offering a unique twist to real-time combat. Players must carefully build their rosters while balancing bans, drafts, and synergy.

To qualify:

• Complete Chapter 4, Episode 4.
• Own at least 20 front-row and 20 back-row heroes.

Though the mode isn’t cross-server, its intensity and restrictions make it delightfully challenging for veterans and newcomers alike.

How Does Arkvurze Work?

This mode features a multi-phase draft and ban system:

• Round 1: Both players ban 3 heroes each, then alternate picking 3 heroes. No duplicates allowed.
• Round 2: Each player bans 2 more heroes from the remaining pool.
• Final Phase: Each player picks 2 final heroes, ensuring at least 1 front-row and 1 back-row unit.

By the end of this process, 15 heroes will be unavailable to you: 5 banned by you, 5 by your opponent, and 5 already picked by your opponent. Arkvurze pushes for roster diversity and adaptability over reliance on a set nation team.

Prep Tips for Arkvurze Success

1. Master Synergy Across Nations

You won’t be able to filter by nation during the draft. Learn which heroes synergize well and watch for clues about your opponent's strategy. Break their synergy with smart bans.

2. Invest in Black Fatecores

Black fatecores are often underrated but powerful, especially from themes like Summer Festa and First Guardian. Heroes like Lepin, Annie, Brooks, Adams, Valarr, and others can be pivotal assets.

3. Unlock Lower-Star Heroes with Nation Coins

Use nation coins to awaken 3-star and 4-star units. When paired with strong black fatecores, these heroes can be surprisingly effective and offer much-needed flexibility.

4. Track Meta Trends

Keep tabs on what’s dominating the arena and tailor your bans and builds accordingly. Always be ready to adjust to updates or hero buffs/nerfs.

Advanced Strategies

Disrupt vs. Build

Decide whether you want to target-ban your opponent’s key heroes or protect your strategy by banning potential counters. Try both styles and see which fits your approach best.

Adaptation Matters

Nation-specific team comps won’t cut it anymore. Practice mixing heroes from different nations to strengthen your flexibility and counter opportunities.

Watch Your Opponent

Keep an eye on their early picks and draft with prediction in mind. It's not just about your ideal comp—it's about beating theirs too.

Why Arkvurze Is a Game-Changer

Arkvurze adds unpredictability and complexity that sets it apart from traditional PvP. No two matches feel the same, and it encourages players to reevaluate their heroes, build new strategies, and embrace surprise victories.

Final Thoughts

Arkvurze is a refreshing test of wit, adaptability, and deep game knowledge. Whether you're outsmarting opponents with bans or rising above a last-minute draft, it brings intense new energy to Exos Heroes.
