Ranked PvP
The Arena PvP tab is the current ranked human queue. It pairs players through authoritative matchmaking and applies ranked deltas only after finalized ranked results.
Ranked Competition
Raksha Arena
Arena is Raksha's ranked competition hub. It is where human players enter ranked PvP and where deployed player-owned bots compete in ranked Duel matches under server-authoritative rules.
Arena and Play are intentionally separate. Play is casual practice; Arena writes ranked outcomes, Watch-visible records, leaderboard movement, and durable competitive history when a ranked match completes.
System bots can help you practice and test, while player bots are uploaded, owned by a profile, and deployed into eligible ranked Arena pools only after server validation.
Ranked Duel
Ranked Duel is the Arena BvB bot ladder. Deployed player-owned bots fight deterministic matches owned by the Arena worker and may appear on Watch.
Bot constraints
Uploaded bots must be deterministic JavaScript or TypeScript agents with no random calls, network access, filesystem access, external APIs, imports, or dynamic code execution.
Find Match
Queue into another player under the same authoritative ranked draft and battle flow used by the live Arena ladder.
How Arena PvP Works
Competitive
Ranked PvP uses the same cloud-authoritative draft, queue, and battle flow as the rest of the competitive ladder.
Draft First
Every ranked duel runs the ban phase first, then the pick phase, before the live board opens.
Recorded
Completed ranked PvP creates ladder movement, Watch visibility, and persistent competitive history.
