Arena 9th

Arena 9th is a strategy card game set in the Ninth Universe, where disputes are settled through competition. You play as a contestant from another universe, recruit soldiers, form a team and fight to advance through tournaments toward the title of Universe Champion.

Choose your heroes

At the start, you choose a commander and an adjutant from seven randomly selected heroes. The commander has two skills and the adjutant has one, which can strengthen your clan. You place soldier cards in soldier positions to fight, use mask cards to give soldiers extra skill effects, and play spells to strengthen them or gain additional resources.

Battles and promotion

Each turn assigns you an enemy, and the soldiers on both sides fight that enemy. Your hero loses health while fighting; when health reaches zero, you are eliminated, with later elimination resulting in a lower ranking. A higher placement can promote you to a more advanced tournament, with the Cosmic Finals as the highest level.

Matches use battle data from real players rather than dummies or AI. You are matched with players who recently completed the same difficulty and received the same resources. After your match, your data can also be used in other players' matches, and elimination data comes from historical battles.
