Question regarding the Arena

[Millennium]

I’ve just unlocked the arena mode, and I was wondering, am I playing against real players making decisions online? Or is it kinda like an afk-AI mode where a player’s selected birds automatically battle?

@millennium It’s the latter. Real players and birds, but AI-controlled.

@eric2203 Thanks, does that mean they have to be offline at that moment? Or can one’s birds be battling in Arena without the player knowing/while he’s busy playing single player levels?

@millennium I don’t know the answer to that.

While it hasn’t been confirmed by Rovio, I believe there is no online/offline requirement. If you’re playing online, your “birds” could be in a battle to the death elsewhere! But note that the AI version of your battles has no effect on your objectives, ranking, etc.
