Champions Arena Guide: Summons, NFTs, Battle Pass & Arena

TL;DR

Summon at Gem Champions to dodge council estate fees; Premium Summoning raises odds, Normal Summoning is cheaper and can drop soul stones.
Link non-primary champions to two leveled mains—only NFT champions earn Victory Points in the Arena.
Lock NFTs via Settings > NFTs and check items in Settings > Delivery; mint champions at an estate to create NFT champions.
Use Tower of Trials for equipment, manage Mana through champion skills, and use the Mayhem tab for perception-based raids.

What You Need to Know First

Quick checklist and where things live before you start.

Item	Effect	Where to Get
Estate choice (Gem Champions vs council estate)	Gem Champions = lower summoning and minting fees; council estate charges high fees	In-game estate selector when summoning/minting
Premium Summoning	Higher chance to get champions	Summoning UI inside estates
Normal Summoning	Cheaper pulls; can yield soul stones or champions	Summoning UI inside estates
NFTs	Required to earn Victory Points in Arena; must be locked to account	Settings > NFTs; mint at an estate
Battle Pass (two rows)	Default free row + purchasable premium row (buy only on mobile)	Battle Pass screen (mobile purchase required)
Mana	Resource for champion skills; generated by champion actions/passives	Shown in combat HUD
Tower of Trials	Primary source of equipment	Tower of Trials game mode
Mayhem tab	Perception-led exploration, mines, and raids	Mayhem tab in main menu

Notes:

Link your Gala Games account via Settings if you play on iOS or Android. It’s painless and required for account continuity.
Lock any NFT champion via Settings > NFTs before trying to use it in-game, and check all deliveries (NFT and non-NFT) under Settings > Delivery.
You only need to actively level two champions; others can be linked to match their level.

Step-by-Step Guide

Follow this path for an efficient early-to-mid progression.

Link accounts and secure NFTs
- On iOS/Android, open Settings and link your Gala Games account first. Do it before you spend anything on mobile.
- After buying or minting an NFT champion, go to Settings > NFTs and lock it to your account. Verify the item in Settings > Delivery.
Pick your summoning estate wisely
- Avoid the council estate unless you enjoy burning currency. Use Gem Champions for lower fees.
- Decide between Premium and Normal Summoning based on your budget.

Item	Effect	Where to Get
Premium Summoning	Higher champion drop rate	Summoning UI in estates
Normal Summoning	Cheaper; can drop soul stones	Summoning UI in estates

Summon with intent
- If you’re chasing a specific Champion class or passive, spend a few Premium Summons to increase odds. If you’re farming materials or soul stones, Normal Summoning is fine.
Leveling and linking champions
- Level two primary champions you intend to use as anchors.
- Link the rest to those two mains so they inherit levels and perks without individual leveling costs.
- This is where resource management matters—don’t pour materials into every champion.
Minting NFTs
- Visit an estate (Gem Champions preferred for fees) and use the mint feature to turn a champion into an NFT.
- After minting, lock it in Settings > NFTs before attempting Arena play.
Battle Pass and monetization choices
- The Battle Pass has two rows. The default row is free; the second is purchasable but only via mobile.
- Buy the pass only if the rewards align with your progression plan.
Equipment and Tower of Trials
- Run Tower of Trials for gear drops; if you’re short on specific pieces, check the estate marketplace.

Item	Effect	Where to Get
Equipment	Stat boosts and relic slots	Tower of Trials drops; estate marketplace
Relics	Passive bonuses and combinations	Tower of Trials, marketplace

Arena and Victory Points
- Only NFT champions can earn Victory Points. If your goal is Gala conversion, make sure the champions you run in Arena are NFTs.
- Higher rank = more Victory Points. Play your strongest NFT roster for PvP seasons.
Mana and combat decisions
- Mana generation depends on champions in play. Pick champions whose attacks or passives synergize to accelerate Mana for your win condition.
Mayhem tab usage

Use teams with the highest perception stat for Mayhem exploration. Success nets mines and raid opportunities.

That’s the basic loop: summon smart, lock/mint NFTs you want to use for Arena, level two mains, use Tower of Trials for gear, and chase Victory Points with NFT champions.

Pro Tips

If you're short on resources, prioritize leveling two champions that cover your core roles (damage + utility/tank). Link the rest to them and save XP and materials.
Run Normal Summoning when you need soul stones or inventory fillers; switch to Premium Summoning only when chasing a specific champion or rarity spike.
Before minting, test a champion in Arena and Tower of Trials. Minting costs fees—don’t turn a mid-tier experiment into an NFT by accident.
Use perception-heavy comps for Mayhem runs; perception is the stat that actually moves the needle there. Treat Mayhem like gated content that rewards exploration scale.
Track mana synergies: a champion with mana-on-hit paired with a mana-burst ultimate often wins tempo fights. Build around resource loops rather than just raw numbers.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Minting too early: players mint champions before testing viability and then get stuck with an NFT that underperforms in Arena.
Using council estate for summons or mints because it’s convenient—fees will eat any short-term gains.
Leveling every champion individually instead of linking most to two mains, which wastes XP and resources.
