||
+ | '''Arena''' (formerly known as '''Battlez''' until 7.5.1) is a player vs. player [[:Category:Modes|game mode]] in ''[[Plants vs. Zombies 2]]'' that was introduced in the 6.6.1 update. This mode is unlocked after [[Pirate Seas - Day 17]] and obtaining at least six [[Plants (PvZ2)|plants]]. |
||
+ | ==Gameplay== |

ā | To start a match, the player has to pay one [[gauntlet]]. Gauntlets can be bought with [[gem]]s. However, every four hours, the player receives a free play. Two free gauntlets per day can be obtained by watching ads. |

+ | To start a match, the player has to use a [[Gauntlet]]. Gauntlets can be bought with [[gem]]s. However, every four hours, the player receives a free play. The player can press the ''''FREE PLAY'''' button, which is located to the left of the Play Button, to watch an advertisement and obtain a free gauntlet. Up to four free Gauntlets per day can be obtained by watching ads. In Soil League, the zombies are level 1, and for each higher league the level rises by 1. |

+ | When an opponent is found, the player will usually choose five plants, with the first slot reserved for the plant of the week. Once the plants are chosen, the player is set in the [[Last Stand (PvZ2)|Last Stand]] format, then after setting-up, the "battle" begins. The player gains points based on the distance the [[Zombies (PvZ2)|zombies]] are away from [[Player's House (PvZ2)|the house]], and their starting health. Zombies in the yellow zone are worth their full potential of points, while zombies in the red, blue, and brown zones being worth 60%, 40%, and 20% of their potential respectively. Points can also be scored by removing most forms of [[armor]] through any method. Zombies buffed by [[Cardio Zombie]] are worth extra points. Destroying [[Tombstone|Gravestones]] and [[Surfboard]]s also gives a small amount points. |
+ | This mode is time-based. The zombies in Arena are extremely buffed, to the point where they eat plants in the blink of an eye and can absorb extreme damage. The faster the player kills the zombies, the more health they will have. Having a non-defensive plant getting eaten will result in a penalty, causing the zombie health to be reduced and therefore significantly reducing the score they will give. Having a sun-producing plant getting eaten or manually launching a [[Lawnmower]] will result in a big penalty, and if a zombie activates a mower, this will result in a huge penalty. Winning a match of Arena is brought about by getting a higher score than your opponent, and grants the player five [[Crown]]s, whereas losing a match only yields one crown. Surrendering yields no crowns. |
||
ā | This mode is time-based, and as the time decreases the zombies get stronger and stronger, to a point where they could be unkillable unless you either have some instant-kill plants or leveled up plants to take on this challenge. The faster you kill the harder the zombies will get. |
||
+ | Most of the player's [[Upgrades|upgrades]] (except Instant Recharge, [[Wall-nut First Aid]] and Mower Launch) are removed in this mode. The player also cannot spend 1000 coins to buy [[Plant Food]] or use [[Power Ups]] in this mode. |
||
ā | Each week, there will be a different type of tournament that the player will have to compete in. Each type of tournament has its own way of changing the gameplay (the change can be quite minor, however). For example, a tournament can shorten the time it takes for a match to finish. |
||
+ | As the player wins matches, they will collect rewards from a reward streak, found under the play button. The rewards get better as the player wins more consecutive matches. If the player breaks a streak, they can pay 20 gems to retain it. |
||
ā | Also, this mode also has several different leagues; the player gets promoted if they place top 3. If they are placed in one of the last three spots, they will be demoted to the league before that one (This is not the case in the lower leagues, where special methods are required to be demoted). Several gems, [[Mint|mints]] and [[coin]]s are rewarded in promotions. |
||
+ | '''Current possible rewards for the reward streak (in order):''' |
||
ā | It has been noted that this mode does appear to be lacking a "real" matchmaking feature that pairs you as the player fairly. There have been reports of people that had low-leveled plants to still be paired with a person with max-level plants or still high-level plants. Of the players with max level plants, there has been speculation and proven facts that either a bot, a cheater from PopCap, or someone who took the effort of high-leveled plants ran that through. |

||
+ | '''NOTE''': Rewards may be doubled in some tournaments. |
||
+ | |||
+ | Each week, there will be a different type of tournament that the player will have to compete in. Each type of tournament has its own way of changing the gameplay. For example, a tournament can shorten the time it takes for a match to finish. It could also be quite major (for example, from 17th July - 19th July 2018 Grapeshot's Double Shot Tournament lasted 2 days and the rewards were drastically decreased). |
||
+ | |||
+ | Also, this mode also has several different leagues; the player gets promoted if they place top 3 in their league by having a number of crowns higher than all but two or less other players in their league. If they are placed in one of the last three spots, they will be demoted to the league before that one (this is not the case in the lower leagues, where special methods are required to be demoted). If they place in any of the middle spots, their league will remain unchanged. Several gems, [[mint]]s and [[coin]]s are rewarded in promotions. |
||
+ | |||
+ | It has been noted that this mode doesn't have a real matchmaking systems and seems to pair players with bots that pull their performance directly from other players, forcing them to lose their winning streak. There have been reports of people that had low-leveled plants to still be paired with a person with max-leveled plants or still high-leveled plants. |

||
+ | In June 2019, Illektron LLC (the company behind ''The Battle for Battlez'' collectible card game) sued [[Electronic Arts]] for allegedly trademark infringement to gain substantial profits from unfair competition and the infringement of the former companyās āBATTLEZā trademark.

||
+ | *The background music in the Arena leaderboard is the music heard when one fights the [[Zombot Dark Dragon]]. |
||
+ | *[[Thyme Warp]] is banned in all Arena levels, even if it has been removed its selection restrictions since the 10.5.1 update. |
||
+ | *According to the files there was supposed to be a league above Jade, that being Crystal League. |
||
+ | ** The trophy spritesheet includes a Crystal Trophy that was supposed to be used for this league. |
||

||
ā | ==Trivia== |
||
ā | *When tapping on the Battlez icon, the [[Dark Ages]] [[Dr. Zomboss|Zomboss]] Battle intro plays, along with the [[Music|boss music]]. |
||
ā | *The player gets five crowns for winning and one for losing. |
||
ā | **No extra crowns are given for obtaining higher scores or beating your opponent by ???%. |
||
ā | *If the player breaks a streak, they can pay ten [[gem]]s to retain/fix it, with the cost increasing by ten per retain. |
||
ā | *This is the only mode in the game where zombies cannot eat your brains. This is because when a [[Lawn Mower|lawn mower]] is activated, it is automatically regenerated. If a zombie somehow manages to reach your house, it will get instantly killed. |
||
ā | *All [[upgrades]], except for [[Wall-nut First Aid]], Instant Recharge and Mower Launch, are disabled on Battlez. |
||
ā | **Also, '''plants that are boosted in the Zen Garden''' will not have the boost in this mode. |
||
ā | *The player does not get points for the zombies destroyed by lawn mowers. |
||
ā | **However, it scores points when it destroys a [[Surfboard]]. |
||
ā | *World exclusive plants canāt be used in this mode. |
||
ā | **Wasabi Whipās Blitz Tournament is one of the four levels/battles where dinosaurs appear outside of [[Jurassic Marsh]]. The others are [[Modern Day]] - Days 12, 26 and 29. |
||
ā | ***[[Perfume-shroom]] still canāt be used in those levels/battles even knowing thereās dinosaurs in them. |
||
ā | *According to a PopCap community manager (referred to [https://www.reddit.com/user/Haemophilus_EA/ Haemophilus EA] on Reddit), the player is not actually fighting against other players in real-time, rather, just "ghosts". The score progression seen in gameplay is just a replay of the "ghost" player's previous Battlez round. |
||
ā | **Other affirmations that support this are: |
||
ā | ***You can spend infinite time on the pause menu, Choose Your Seeds screen, and the Last Stand defense preparation stage. |
||
ā | ***The Turbo Button can be used. |
||
ā | ***There is no feature in which time must be synchronized with the other player due to lag, pausing the game, or the Turbo Button. |
||
ā | **A list of over 9900 names for these "ghost" opponents may also be found [https://pastebin.com/EXwRRqjd here]. |
||
ā | ***Some bot names also include [[Solar Flare]], [[Spudow]], [[Rose]] from ''[[Plants vs. Zombies Heroes]]''. |
||
ā | *In the textures for the trophies that identify for each league, there appears to be an unused crystal-like trophy. |

- For similar game modes in the Chinese version, Plants vs. Zombies: All Stars, and Plants vs. Zombies 3, see Battle, Dave Cup, and Arena respectively.
Arena (formerly known as Battlez until 7.5.1) is a player vs. player game mode in Plants vs. Zombies 2 that was introduced in the 6.6.1 update. This mode is unlocked after Pirate Seas - Day 17 and obtaining at least six plants.
Gameplay
To start a match, the player has to use a Gauntlet. Gauntlets can be bought with gems. However, every four hours, the player receives a free play. The player can press the 'FREE PLAY' button, which is located to the left of the Play Button, to watch an advertisement and obtain a free gauntlet. Up to four free Gauntlets per day can be obtained by watching ads. In Soil League, the zombies are level 1, and for each higher league the level rises by 1.
When an opponent is found, the player will usually choose five plants, with the first slot reserved for the plant of the week. Once the plants are chosen, the player is set in the Last Stand format, then after setting-up, the "battle" begins. The player gains points based on the distance the zombies are away from the house, and their starting health. Zombies in the yellow zone are worth their full potential of points, while zombies in the red, blue, and brown zones being worth 60%, 40%, and 20% of their potential respectively. Points can also be scored by removing most forms of armor through any method. Zombies buffed by Cardio Zombie are worth extra points. Destroying Gravestones and Surfboards also gives a small amount points.
This mode is time-based. The zombies in Arena are extremely buffed, to the point where they eat plants in the blink of an eye and can absorb extreme damage. The faster the player kills the zombies, the more health they will have. Having a non-defensive plant getting eaten will result in a penalty, causing the zombie health to be reduced and therefore significantly reducing the score they will give. Having a sun-producing plant getting eaten or manually launching a Lawnmower will result in a big penalty, and if a zombie activates a mower, this will result in a huge penalty. Winning a match of Arena is brought about by getting a higher score than your opponent, and grants the player five Crowns, whereas losing a match only yields one crown. Surrendering yields no crowns.
Most of the player's upgrades (except Instant Recharge, Wall-nut First Aid and Mower Launch) are removed in this mode. The player also cannot spend 1000 coins to buy Plant Food or use Power Ups in this mode.
As the player wins matches, they will collect rewards from a reward streak, found under the play button. The rewards get better as the player wins more consecutive matches. If the player breaks a streak, they can pay 20 gems to retain it.
Current possible rewards for the reward streak (in order):
League | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Jade | 1 Mint | 5 Mints | 3 Premium PiƱatas | 3000 coins | 3 Featured PiƱatas | 7 Mints | 5 Premium PiƱatas |
Gold | 1 Mint | 4 Mints | 3 Premium PiƱatas | 3000 coins | 3 Featured PiƱatas | 6 Mints | 5 Premium PiƱatas |
Silver | 1 Mint | 4 Mints | 2 Premium PiƱatas | 3000 coins | 3 Featured PiƱatas | 6 Mints | 4 Premium PiƱatas |
Bronze | 1 Mint | 4 Mints | 2 Premium PiƱatas | 2000 coins | 2 Featured PiƱatas | 6 Mints | 4 Premium PiƱatas |
Iron | 1 Mint | 3 Mints | 2 Premium PiƱatas | 2000 coins | 2 Featured PiƱatas | 5 Mints | 4 Premium PiƱatas |
Brick | 1 Mint | 3 Mints | 1 Premium PiƱata | 1000 coins | 2 Featured PiƱata | 5 Mints | 3 Premium PiƱatas |
Wood | 1 Mint | 3 Mints | 1 Premium PiƱata | 1000 coins | 1 Featured PiƱata | 5 Mints | 3 Premium PiƱatas |
Soil | 1 Mint | 2 Mints | 1 Premium PiƱata | 1000 coins | 1 Featured PiƱata | 4 Mints | 3 Premium PiƱatas |
NOTE: Rewards may be doubled in some tournaments.
Each week, there will be a different type of tournament that the player will have to compete in. Each type of tournament has its own way of changing the gameplay. For example, a tournament can shorten the time it takes for a match to finish. It could also be quite major (for example, from 17th July - 19th July 2018 Grapeshot's Double Shot Tournament lasted 2 days and the rewards were drastically decreased).
Also, this mode also has several different leagues; the player gets promoted if they place top 3 in their league by having a number of crowns higher than all but two or less other players in their league. If they are placed in one of the last three spots, they will be demoted to the league before that one (this is not the case in the lower leagues, where special methods are required to be demoted). If they place in any of the middle spots, their league will remain unchanged. Several gems, mints and coins are rewarded in promotions.
It has been noted that this mode doesn't have a real matchmaking systems and seems to pair players with bots that pull their performance directly from other players, forcing them to lose their winning streak. There have been reports of people that had low-leveled plants to still be paired with a person with max-leveled plants or still high-leveled plants.
