Ready to start throwing your size around in the Arena?

Download and connect your wallet to SFA, then navigate to the Available Games screen.

From there, choose the Battle Royale tab at the top and spin up a match!

Once you’ve created your match, the last step is to stake your GHST. To do this, use the slider at the bottom of the pop-up screen to choose the amount you wish to stake.

Confirm your stake and the amount will be deducted from your wallet and held securely until the end of the match. Remember, each participant in the match must stake the same amount of GHST to ensure a fair and competitive environment.

Note: GHST deposits are exclusively supported by Base. If your GHST is on Polygon, you can bridge via Superbridge or fast bridges like DeBridge.

You can also swap for GHST using Aerodrome, Uniswap, or any Base-supporting DEX aggregator.

Outwit. Outplay. Win GHST.

With your GHST staked and opponents ready, it’s time to start the battle. The match will automatically begin once the maximum number of players has been reached or the timer runs out.

Use your skills, strategies, potions, and Protolicks to outsmart and outlast your opponents. Be aware of the rising FOMO, and remember to grab the airdrops.

The stakes are high, and every move counts - winner takes all!

Oooooh Badges (shiny 👀)

This release also brings three new sets of badges that relate to GHST staked, won, or lost!

Check the Badges page in your player profile for more info on how to earn them.

Gloves off, Practice time is OVER

With this update, games played in Practice Mode (where AI Gotchis are present) will no longer contribute to Badges or affect Leaderboard positions.

Previous positions and badges achieved by defeating Gotchi Bots will be preserved.

If you’d like to continue playing with AI Gotchis in Practice Mode, simply check the “Practice Mode” box when creating a match.

That’s it, time to EARN!

Are you ready to begin your legend-san arc?

Download Spirit Force Arena NOW, challenge your frenemies, jump into the arena, and take their GHST, all while earning shiny new Badges.
