Arena Zone Guide
Arena Zone Guide
The Arena is primarily an alternate-currency zone. Run Bad Chad Alderland's wave encounters, collect the arena currency, then use that currency to buy arena gear from the arena merchants.
Bad Chad Alderland
Hail Bad Chad Alderland in the Arena to choose either a 5-wave encounter or a 10-wave encounter. The event script stores the active run in the shared wave_event key, so only one Bad Chad encounter can be running at a time.
Bad Chad starts the first wave after a short delay. Each completed wave signals him to start the next wave. When the selected run is finished, he spawns the reward chest for that run.
Main Rewards
The 5-wave encounter rewards:
- Up to 5 alternate currency coins.
- A chance at an illusion item.
- A very rare chance at an item from the merchant shop.
The 10-wave encounter rewards:
- Between 5 and 10 alternate currency coins.
- An increased chance at an illusion item.
- Better odds at receiving gear from the merchant shop.
Each Arena boss also has a chance to drop two extra alternate currency coins. The reward chest is the main payout, but the bosses themselves can add extra currency along the way.
Buying Arena Gear
The point of running Arena is to build alternate currency for arena gear. Clear waves, loot bosses, open the final reward chest, then spend the currency at the arena gear merchants.
The 10-wave event is the better farming route when your group can clear it consistently because it has the larger currency payout and better reward odds.
Bad Chad Wave Order
The active script spawns these notable encounters:
- Wave 1: The Pretty Hate Machine
- Wave 2: The Glitch Princess
- Wave 3: The Hand That Feeds
- Wave 4: Monster and Mash
- Wave 5: Hates Heat and Heat Signal
- Wave 9: Tyranthrax
- Wave 10: The Puppetmaster of Xyron
Practical Notes
Pick the 5-wave encounter if you want a shorter run or are still testing the group. Pick the 10-wave encounter for the better currency payout and better reward odds.
Do not start another event while one is already running. If Bad Chad says an event is already in progress, finish or wait out the current wave event before starting a new one.
