Matches last minutes, letting players test builds and roles repeatedly. The mode functions as a practical tutorial for the main Ascension battle royale, broadening the game's appeal.","whyItMatters":"Spires directly addresses the high entry barrier of Arkheron's main mode by condensing team combat into short, repeatable matches that teach build variety and coordination.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eArkheron\u0026#39;s closed beta, running until July 27 at 16:00 JST, opens Spires on weekdays and Ascension on weekends.

That makes it a practical tutorial, but also a standalone competitive mode that could outshine the main event.","newsletterBlurb":"Arkheron's closed beta introduces Spires, a mode that condenses the game's team combat into short, repeatable matches.
