There are no fixed classes: the items you carry shape how you play, support your team, and adapt to your opponents.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Spires<\/strong> is our featured game mode during Closed Beta: a focused 3v3 arena for trying out new builds quickly, fine-tuning your teamwork, and getting comfortable with Arkheron\u2019s core combat.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ascension<\/strong> is Arkheron\u2019s peak competitive mode, where 15 teams of three explore a larger map, loot items for their builds, upgrade their kits, and fight their way up the Tower toward a final 3v3 battle. Ascension will be available during limited regional windows on weekends. View the full schedule here.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Closed Beta Exclusives<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>Closed Beta also includes our first test of cosmetic progression!
