SWTOR: What awaits in the “Eternal Championship”!

In Star Wars: The Old Republic, players look to the future and clarify the solo content “Eternal Championship”.

The Emperor’s Latest Hobby

Although the highly anticipated Chapter X of SWTOR: Knights of the Fallen Empire has not yet been released, BioWare has already shared numerous details about the upcoming content. With the release of Chapter XI, the Eternal Championship enters the game – an arena that promises exciting challenges for solo players.

What is the Eternal Championship?

In the spirit of “Bread and Games”, the Eternal Championship is the newest entertainment medium of the elite of the Empire of Zakuul. They eagerly descend from their noble apartments into the slums to watch their minions brutally fight for their lives in bloody arena battles.

How does it work?

Similar to a Flashpoint, the arena can be accessed through a starting quest. One after the other, the player, along with a companion of their choice, will face a total of 10 different challengers. While the first 5 fights are easy and suitable for players who are only interested in the story, encounters 6-10 are a bit more challenging.

The individual fights gradually introduce various (and more) mechanics. While a simple DPS burst might be enough to take down the opponents at the beginning, more tactics will be required later. Enemies must then be killed in a specific order, skills interrupted or area effects avoided.

However, for hardcore raiders, the arena may not be very challenging; they might feel a bit underwhelmed. Nonetheless, there is hope that the fights will be enjoyable and interesting.

What do you get for participating?

There are a total of 3 weekly missions for which you must survive a certain number of rounds. Depending on whether you survive 5, 7, or 10 rounds, different rewards await (via the quests).

• With 5 victories, you receive an item of item level 190 (which is above what has been available through story missions).
• 7 victories reward you with an item of item level 208, which corresponds to the loot from tactical Flashpoints.
• For 10 victories, you get the biggest reward, an item that is “equivalent to rewards from challenging Flashpoints and Story-Mode Operations” – thus item level 216.

Besides that, the 7th boss will have a drop chance for a mini pet, the 10th boss can leave behind a fancy vehicle, and finally, there are numerous titles to be earned – details about these are yet to come.
