# Battle Arena

In the Battle Arena game mode, you face other players in quick matches to earn their souls, the most valuable currency in Hellmaster. To participate in these matches, make sure you have enough souls to sign up. Souls can only be purchased with the $Dante token, so you will need to exchange them for your $Dante token before joining the matches.

In this game mode, you can join open public games to compete against players from all over the world or create private games to play with your friends.

**Earn Shards**

Each victory in Battle Arena mode grants you a higher amount of shards compared to Adventure mode.
