Arena is a game mode in which players must defeat special enemies in modified Conclave maps until a certain number of opponents has been defeated. Tenno do not need to extract and the mission will only end with their victory or defeat.
Mechanics[]
Upon spawning, Companions and gear are automatically unequipped, and the mission is played similarly to a Team Annihilation, with respawn timers, and Energy, Health, and Ammo restores scattered around the map. Unlike the Conclave however, Warframes and Weapons keep their Mods and players square off against the AI instead of other players. There are currently two Arena variants listed below, each with their own set of rules and victory conditions.
Variants[]
Grineer Rathuum[]
Rathuum is a trial by combat, set on Sedna, where a squad of Tenno takes on Kela De Thaym's Executioners in a broadcast slaughter watched across the entire Grineer Empire. The Executioners will always outnumber the squad of Tenno with additional enemies joining the fight with each Tenno joining the Squad. Additionally, a random modifier, typically in favor of the Executioners, will be applied before the mission starts.
Corpus Index[]
The Index is an investment game hosted by Nef Anyo and Cephalon Sark on Neptune. Tenno must bet Credits and collect more Indexes than the opposing team of Brokers to win. Unlike Rathuum, the match will always be 4 v 4, with Tenno Specters appearing if other players are absent.
Maps[]
There are 5 Conclave maps for Arena: 3 for Rathuum and 2 for The Index.
Notes[]
- For Codex completionists, opponents faced in the Arena will be automatically scanned when they spawn, alleviating the need to use workarounds such as the
Heliocor.
- However, this does not apply to anything your opponents may summon (such as Executioner Reth's Reth Rollers, or Ved Xol's Nemes), or The Index's John Prodman (who does not have a visible Codex entry as of this writing, so it is unknown if he is even scanned to begin with).
Trivia[]
- Arena is the first PvE mission type set in Conclave environments.
- Arena was introduced during the event Operation: Rathuum.

The Vodyanoi executioners (modifer "tougher enemies") kept dying on their own before I could actually kill them. It wouldn't count as a kill and they would respawn with full health. This happened 50-70% of the time, making the level infuriating to complete. I'm not going to replay it unless absolutely necessary.

Note: the only source of silent battery mod is Arena on Sedna and only one enemy gives it
System: Grineer entered the arena
System: Revenant entered the arena
System: Grineer has left the arena
System: Revenant has left the arena without taking any damage with Mesmer Skin

There is a new index arena with the last update
It's not new, just remade.
Do people even farm arena for anything anymore?

endo
i just use a Corinth with corrosive and extra blast damage and a fireball ember build, i almost always 1shot the enemeies no matter what, unless they are essentially across the map in which case 2 or 3 shots will do, but a fireball and accelerant is always fun to use
Arena on Sedna needs 25 kills
TY
Finally i know how many times i have to kill them.
Thank you random tenno.
Ty
God bless you
IDK why people post solo strats. Go pub Vodyanoy, have a larva Nidus for CC (max all but STR), Radiation Opticor/anything else with Punch through to oneshot all enemies in Larva, and Nekros for extra loot. Enjoy 1k Endo every 5 minutes.
! I just tried Arena for the first time today, and wound up here searching for basically "what is the point even". 1000 Endo / 5 mins is SUFFICIENT INCENTIVE sir. Thanks for the pro strats!
People post solo strats, because it's actually somewhat challenging in solo.
You don't need any help in team. Pretty much any team can do it with minimal effort
You just criticized others and followed up by doing exactly the same.
YES
Just did it with Ivara + Gas Orvius, everything dies pretty quickly, only died once with the Reinforcements modifier. Unfortunately much harder to execute with the reduced duration modifier as there isn't enough energy to keep Prowl active.
I use a Zenurik setup. Using Wellspring helps recover energy in the small break window you get. I have an Infiltrate Ivara so move faster, she has 56% Move speed, 800 top Energy and Prowl drain is 1.75 so that is a big help. Also I use a Corrosive Nataruk with Bane of Grineer to really mess them up
didnt know you can get a forma bp from it, or is it only on the first time to finish?
The problems still are black screens after winning a mach
sometimes the screen result stucks ,and the party timer and vote dont works
sometimes it clocks time without showing it...and executioners sometimes
kills you instant 1 shot when other times need 2 3 4 hits to kill you
and on Ash fatal teleport or invisible or even the 4th skill..kill you when you using it.(lag like?)
And the modifier is stack to either Reduced Ability Duration
or 'Reinforcements or 'Tougher Enemies
I have player like 200 matches I have never seen anything else
modifier than this three above
Need a easy match on rathuum.
Then tell all your squad members take a Tigris with a slash build!
You will thank me later.
That's quite inefficient.
Take Loki (max duration build) and Atterax (hybrid build for slash and gas, crit damage, maiming strike, blood rush, primed reach). Multiple kills per slide. Match lasts 2 min at the longest.
No CP needed (Steel Charge is a good option), you can go solo or with randoms.
Go invis and slide FTW.
The other reply is right. Executioners are weak to melee. A max duration Loki will give you long enough for the energy orbs to respawn (go for efficiency as well). These build will kill any level 85 executioner in 1-3 hits.

Or take a Lanka with 12k+ radiation damage. One shot one kill no matter who that motherf**ker is.
Slash Tigris is efficient enough to not be chided as "inefficient".
I wonder if they'll make the index a permanent addition too
Are these missions only during events, I cant find them anywhere?
sedna
and now neptune
index on neptune
Was going through the mods codex when I noticed that some mods are listed as dropping from this missions, mianly stance mods.
List is:
Nakki: Crushing Ruin, Decisive Judgement, Stalking Fan
Vodyanoi: Blind justice, Crimson Dervish, Tempo Royale
Yam: Blind justice, Crimson Dervish, Tempo Royale
Think we could add it?
Definitely !
Thanks for pointing that out Hamiltond ! I'll add them right now.
aaand vengeful reverant?
Dropped Vengeful Reverant...:s
Any tips or help? My current Grineer Setup is
Destreza (Corrosive and puncture boost, as well as maxed fury and Pressure Point)
Attica (Thunderbolt and +90% dammage serration, as well as other utility mods)
Dex Furis (Radiation and puncture boost, as well as fire rate and ammo total boosts)
Frost (Sheilds 1110; health 700, Sprint Speed 1.38; Armor 435)
Any suggestions on how I can further improve this so Ican solo the Arena? I cant seem to find anyone to farm Judgement Points with, and my wifi is bad enough multiplayer oesnt work too well unless I host.d
Cheese them, cheese them hard.
I usually go as an Ash with Fatal Teleport and Concealed Lethality, or a Loki with high duration invisiblity.
Ash spams teleport, and Loki brings a heavy weapon, and either blast procs or jump attacks to proc finishers.
Remember to bring some decent enemy radar to find the dudes quicker!
Inaros. Inaros and his 4000 health plus a good weapon will see you through. No, but seriously, he will. Failing that, a high slash + toxin (or just plain toxin) with status chance melee build on a spin weapon is a great way to deal lasting dmg with hit and run survivability. Recharging shields are so annoying... Bypass them!
Excalibur; no OP weapons required! ALL you have to do is spam Exalted Blade. [chuckles] Ahh, Excal is SO underrated; his abilities make him a top 5 frame AT LEAST.
Zephyr Turbulence makes everyone miss :D
What are the best weapons for the executioners? I found that quanta vandal with full radiation is pretty good, vaykor hek is pretty bad against them. Are there any other weapons that are particularly effective? I haven't tried viral either.
Lanka. Mod it for 10k+ radiation damage and ohk everything from safe range.
tigris prime with a few mods can go up 74k in damage... one shots anything in the general direction it's aimed at...
Kaboom?
Yes Rico, kaboom.
Full range + duration Ivara with a Covert Lethality Dark Dagger. Memorize the energy spawn points, immediately Prowl and run around to them, then proceed to slaughter the enemies with Sleep Arrow + finishers. Just make sure to keep an eye on your energy and you can solo this pretty fast.
Plebonian.
I just tried this and was surprised it works. It feels slower than the Ash method, but at least it also feels less cheesy.
or just gunblade evrything on cloak
