───── Colosseum Guide ─────
Welcome to the Colosseum!
Many years ago, a previous Caesar decided in Nemeia’s time of peace that their once ferocious battle companions needed something to do to fulfill their instinctual needs. Thus, the Colosseum was created! Now Nemeion from all over Nemeia come to battle in spectacle fights as a test of their tactics and strength.
Winners and losers alike will walk away with coins to add to their pockets, but only the winners will receive true loot rewards! This can even include Medals of Honor, or perhaps a token of the Caesar’s Favor.
Colosseum includes:
Munera | Player vs Player | Champion Battle

───── Munera (PvE) ─────
Munera is a structured PvE (player vs. environment) combat system within Nemeion designed to let players actively test their Nemeion’s strength, tactics, and growth against non-player opponents. Through Munera, you will face an NPC challenger of your own invention, or from another ARPG species (depending on whether or not that species allows their characters to be drawn in combat), and pit your Nemeion against them in a controlled battle scenario.

PvP is a simple activity open to all ranks! This activity has a chance to cause injury!
Both Nemeion must have a Lycan Companion equipped in order to participate.
Both Nemeion must have a Lycan Companion equipped in order to participate.
───── Player versus Player (PvP) ─────
Player versus Player is Nemeion’s structured PvP combat system, centered on direct encounters between players where strategy, adaptability, and combat mastery are pushed to their limits. Participation is restricted--both Nemeion involved must possess a Lycan companion, marking these battles as a higher-tier form of combat. Player versus Player features a separate, PvP-exclusive loot table, offering rewards distinct from PvE combat and reinforcing the heightened risk and prestige of victory. Each match serves as a proving ground for rivalry, reputation, and dominance within Nemeion.
───── How does PvP Work? ─────
Artwork by DonPurrleone
|
Player versus Player works a little differently than Munera or Champion Battles. Because it is a player-versus-player scenario, bonuses and traits are calculated differently. Not all companions, equipment or are applicable in PvP to keep things somewhat fair between combatants.
|
───── Player versus Player Breakdown ─────
All PvP battles start at a base 50/50. Each player has an equal, fifty-fifty chance of beating the other.
When we start adding bonuses into the mix, our split changes.
When we start adding bonuses into the mix, our split changes.
Bonuses
The following bonuses add to your win chance. Each percent is equal to 1 point in your success rate. Keep in mind that Armor Tiers do not stack. The bonus changes based on your Armor Tier level.
Armor Tier 1: 2% Bonus
Armor Tier 2: 3% Bonus
Armor Tier 3: 4% Bonus
Armor Tier 4: 5% Bonus
Training: 5% Bonus
Bully Trait: 5% Bonus
Tiny Terror Trait: 5% Bonus
Armor Tier 2: 3% Bonus
Armor Tier 3: 4% Bonus
Armor Tier 4: 5% Bonus
Training: 5% Bonus
Bully Trait: 5% Bonus
Tiny Terror Trait: 5% Bonus
Example
─ The baseline starts at 50/50 without any bonuses.
─ If I were to add Training as a bonus, I would gain a +5 advantage over my opponent.
─ The split then becomes 55/45, with 55 being my chance number.
─ If my partner also has Training, the split returns to 50/50.
─ If I were to add Training as a bonus, I would gain a +5 advantage over my opponent.
─ The split then becomes 55/45, with 55 being my chance number.
─ If my partner also has Training, the split returns to 50/50.
───── Rewards ─────
Instead of having a completely randomized loot table, PvP offers a fixed amount of coins, a RNG amount of Medals of Honor, and a 15% chance to drop a monthly reward. Each month has a unique reward, with some being a themed loot table while others are a fixed item. Winners also have a chance to receive rewards from their applicable armor, companions, equipment and traits.
Winners Rewards
5,000 Coins
5-7 Medals of Honor

Champion Battles are a Complex Activity open to Rank 2 (Hastati) or higher. This activity has a chance to cause injury!
───── Champion Battles (PvE) ─────
Champion Battles are where your Nemeion go once they have reached the rank of Hastati! Rather than fighting nameless nobodies, your Nemeion has now been deemed capable of going toe-to-toe with one of the Caesar’s own prized, battle-hardened Nemeion!
Losers will receive compensation in the form of a modest amount of coins. Winners, however, will receive a great deal of coins as well as other loot, Medals of Honor, and a chance at winning the Caesar’s Favor!

───── The Caesar's Favor ─────
In Munera, players have the opportunity to earn the Caesar's favor after successful battles, with a 10% chance after each win. These Favors come in the form of breeding slots to the Caesar’s prized cats, blending progression, legacy-building, and honor into a single, meaningful prize.

Just like in normal Munera battles, Champion battles have a chance to roll a range of rewards, including the Champion's Favor in the form of a breeding slot to the defeated champion.
