About

Ebon Crucible

Read full description

You lost because you're worse. Not because of RNG, not because of gear, not because someone paid more than you. You lost because you used your trinket too early, missed your kick, and panicked when you should have kited. Fix that and try again. Ebon Crucible is arena PvP. Real-time, skill-based, no-excuses combat. 1v1 and 2v2 ranked with 3v3 on the way. Five classes with completely different kits. 63 abilities across stuns, roots, fears, interrupts, gap closers, shields, burst windows, and healing. THE FIVE TYRANT - Melee pressure that doesn't stop. Build Rage, shred armor, execute at 30%. Two gap closers. Good luck running. WRAITH - Stealth opener into Combo Points into a finisher that ends fights. If it doesn't kill, Vanish and reset. INFERNAL - Stack Cinders from range. At 5 stacks, Cataclysm Flare one-shots. Get kicked mid-cast and you're the one who dies. HARBINGER - Death by a thousand cuts. DoTs, drains, and Fear. When the damage stacks up, Hex Rupture detonates everything. REVENANT - The hybrid everyone hates. Build Holy Power, then choose: kill them with a finisher or heal yourself back to full. RANKED ARENA - Solo queue 1v1 or team up for 2v2. Five tiers from The Broken to The Ascended. 3v3 is coming. WAGER DUELS - Challenge someone. Stake your coins. Loser pays. CROSSPLAY - Steam, web, and mobile. Same servers, same ladder. Your account works everywhere.
