Arena
Into the Frying pan
The Arena is a firefight-like gamemode in which a fireteam of three fights against three waves of enemies in multiple sets. Current, the only Arena is the Prison of Elders.
In an arena, traditional and unique modifires come into play. They range from things that can help Guardians — such as increased Guardian melee damage — to things which can severely harm them, like having shields which don't recharge.
The key to succeeding in the Arena is to have a balanced team. While random Guadrians can do well together at lower levels, the high level Arenas require communication and balancing.

Tips and Tricks
- The balance of your team is crucial. From testing, the best outcomes come from one of each class, each with a different Light element, or a Defender Titan with a combination of two Hunters or two Warlocks. Having such a build allows generous Super use from the creation of Orbs of Light, especially when the game is modified to slow replenishing of abilities or strengthens enemies in general.
- It is also wise to have weapons that cover all three Light elements so that swapping out between matches can be done. It's best to use Solar against the Cabal, Arc against the Fallen, Void against the Vex, and a mix of Solar and Arc against the Hive.
- The bosses you face in an Arena are anythign but ordinary. Be weary of getting close to them, but also watch out for ones who have powerful ranged attacks. They usually have legions of their allies at their sides, so don't hesitate to thin the weaker enemies first.
