# Ice Arena 3v3
## About the 3v3 Tournament
* Our tournament aims to bring fun with a PvP mechanic different from the usual, which is usually more intense with little strategy.
* With our mechanics of damage reduction, cooldown on skill and potion heals, and central buffs with 100% HP/SP heal, PvP becomes less “all in” and more about positioning and strategy.
## **Arena Opening Hours**
The Arena will be open in friendly mode **(no scoring)** every day from **8:00 AM to 9:59 AM**, from **3:00 PM to 4:59 PM**, and from **7:00 PM to 8:59 PM**.
## How to participate
To participate, type the command @joinarena
* **The Tournament will take place 2 days a week and lasts ****1 hour**.
* To enter the queue just use the command **@joinarena**.
* If you entered the queue and need to leave for something else, use **@leavearena**. If your character enters a match and stays AFK, or is proven via reports, it may result in a **BAN**! This includes other accounts (**alts and mains**) from the same computer or IP! Even if they are not related to the event!
* **You must not be in a party** to use the command and enter the queue.
* If you enter the queue and then join a party, you will be automatically removed from the queue!
* **The paid tournament entry will only be sold in the first week of each month** (*to prevent players from buying on the last day if they are in the top*).

## Mechanics
* **Teams are random**, which makes it fairer and prevents "cliques".
* **Damage reduced by 65%****.**
* **Healing skills** get **+10 seconds cooldown**.
* **Consumables** get **+15 seconds cooldown**.
* **Winning** a match gives **20 points**, and **losing** will take **15 points**.
* It’s not allowed to leave the map or teleport out. If you log out during a match, **60 points will be removed** as punishment.
* Every **30 seconds**, a **random set of buffs** is **spawned** in the center of the map, granting various buffs and **healing 100% HP and SP** of everyone in the group that captures it.
* There are **3 buff sets**, and every **30 seconds** one of the sets will **spawn**, each with its own animation and visual effect for identification.
## Life System
* Each team has 3 members.
* Each player has **3 lives**.
* When all members of a team lose their 3 lives, the match ends.
* The team that still has at least 1 member with 1 life wins.
## **NOTES**
* Entering the enemy base (crossing the bridge) results in instant death—your character dies immediately. This is to provide a safe zone for parties to regroup.
* At 3 minutes into the match, the safe zone is disabled to prevent parties from avoiding combat.
* At 4 minutes into the match, an Emperium will spawn in the center of the map. The group that destroys it will automatically cause one member of the enemy group to lose a life. The Emperium will then respawn every 1 minute thereafter.
* **Emperium has REDUCED HP, has no immunities, and does not suffer element reduction.**
