What modes are there and how do they work?

There are currently three available game modes:

• Ascension: This is the core game mode for Arkheron, where 15 teams of three must claim beacons in order to ascend the Tower, and it’s how Arkheron is best experienced. You’ll create your build-out on the fly as you loot your way through the Tower, while every floor becomes more intense, with fewer and fewer beacons to claim until the two fiercest teams make it to the top for a final 3v3 match.
• Training - Sparring & Item Mechanics: It’s a separate dungeon area where you can experiment with Arkheron’s items, find synergistic combinations and get accustomed to Arkheron’s unique controls. You can practice your skills against training dummies or enter the ‘sparring room’ to practice against other players. These sparring matches can accommodate up to six players - you can 1v1, 2v1, 3v3 etc
• Training - Ascension with Just Bots: It’s essentially Ascension mode, but against bots instead of real players. It’s a good way to learn the core gameplay loop and get comfortable without the pressure, though it won’t be as exciting as playing against other players.
