Last Epoch Arena is an endgame activity where waves of mobs spawn in a confined area. Arenas have different layouts and environmental hazards, and mobs will become progressively stronger as you progress through the waves. There are two types of arenas: Arena of Champions and Endless Arena, with different rewards and modifiers. While Arenas give decent experience, they are not the most efficient way of leveling your character. However, they are a good place to test your build and compete with other players on the leaderboard. Keep moving, open barrels and collect loot, use shrines strategically, and learn the enemies to succeed in Arena.
