A few things to know
Before you
enter the arena.
Quick answers. A clear way in.
Is Arena of Champions free?
Yes. Arena of Champions is a free, independent WoW-style PvP game. Play in your browser on the official site, or use the Windows option offered there.
Is this an official Blizzard game?
No. The game is an independent fan project by jerz. This guide is also independent and is not affiliated with the game developer or Blizzard Entertainment.
Do I need an account?
You can enter as a guest and practise. Use a registered account for rated queue matches and leaderboard progress. Do not rely on guest access for lasting account progress.
Do I need to download anything?
The browser version loads from arenaofchampions.live. A Windows client is also available through the official site. We do not host game downloads.
Can I play on Mac or Chromebook?
Try the official browser version with an updated browser and hardware acceleration. Compatibility depends on your device, graphics support and the game build; we have not tested every operating system.
How is it different from WebWoW?
Both aim to make WoW-style PvP accessible in a browser. Arena of Champions has its own class, talent, utility and arena systems. This database describes Arena of Champions, not WoW retail or League of Legends Arena.
