Ranked battle arena
Hi @HailBifrostGlow ,
Ranked battle arena is indeed a new mode added to BfN. It got added today, so you're just in time! 🙂
In basic terms, it is regular battle arena but has a ranked aspect to it. You have to begin by doing 5 placement matches, in which it will determine your starting rank. This rank will determine what rewards you will earn at the end of each season. I believe, but don't know for sure, that each season lasts one week. By winning games, you can increase your rank. By losing games, your rank will be reduced. The higher your rank is when the season ends, the better rewards you receive.
Kind of surprisingly, Battle arena itself seems to be quite popular from what I have seen. However, in my local region, Australia, I couldn't find a game at all after waiting for a while, so I changed my region and would, most of the time, find a full lobby in under a minute. It can take a while to find the best matches, but most of the time it shouldn't take too long to find a lobby. If you would like to join another lobby after completing a round of battle arena, simply wait and the game will find another match for you, you automatically go back to Giddy Park while you wait for another game. You can do as you wish while you wait. When the game finds another match for you, it will automatically put you into that match, so be ready for that. If you want to cancel matchmaking before another game, either return to Giddy Park just after your match ends or there is a cancel option, so keep a lookout for that so you know for reference! 🙂

I hope that answers your questions and all! Let me know if you would like to know more! 🙂
