Crucible
[i]It is when the souls of the damned are tested and forged beneath the endless pool of night in the cauldron of the ebb and flow, which one discovers their true worth: nothing.[/i]
Crucible is available for Duel, Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, and Clan Arena modes!
Podiums
Podiums are a new type of vanity item to collect and display beneath your Champion in the Lobby! Players can now access Podiums through a new customization menu in their Profile. (Listed just below the Profile Icon & Nameplate customization.)
