Within the allotted time, the player tries to develop their hero in the best way, learns the best and most useful magic, recruits the strongest warriors into their army, and collects the most powerful and necessary artifacts in order to then face a similarly developed hero of the opponent in the arena. The player chooses who they will train – a starting hero or another hero.
3.2.

All participants who reach the finish will be sent "arenas" with their heroes.
The tournament participants will be divided into several groups (depending on the number of saves sent), in which they will fight each other, earning points. Then, according to the places taken, they will fight with players from other groups, thereby determining the distribution of places in the tournament and identifying the winner.
