Well done! You have won the Arena: Challenge of the Master
You valiantly fought every creature the arena could throw on you and you emerged victorious!
Glory to you, you are now the new master and your future characters will challenge you.

It is my 4th character in the Arena:). This combination of race-class-skills was success.

I had only 2 combat skills:
-Stunning Blow, and
-Death Dance

other were passive; (defensive or healing), but very important:
-Technique / Bloodthirst,
-Technique / Combat Veteran,
-Technique / Combat Training, and
-Undead / Skeleton

I think undead are quite well-suited to the arena - their racial trees are quite powerful, and fast levelling lets you take advantage of them quickly.

I've just had two undead successes in a row in the Arena. First a Skeleton Arcane Blade (my favourite combo I must say), and second a Ghoul Berserker (immensely powerful!) Char sheets:

I tried out the Berserker because I've not given the class a serious try before. It couples with the Ghoul talents incredibly well, and the Retch talent gets ridiculously powerful when maxed (though it took me a whilst to understand why the bone dragon wasn't taking any damage whilst I had it on). Defeating my previous champion was hard work, but also great fun :)

sure. i have just won the arena (30 waves) with skeleton archer and it wasn't hard at all. i lost one skeleton archer before this one though due to spawned 30 lvl naga mirmidon in wave ~15

also i have a question, after i won, the game didn't end. i cannot leave the arena or something, can i?

Just save and exit, and the next char you start will have your old char as its new boss.
