# Ebon Crucible > You lost because you're worse. Not because of RNG, not because of gear, not because someone paid more than you. You lost because you used your trinket too early, missed your kick, and panicked when you should have kited. Fix that and try again. Ebon Crucible is arena PvP. Real-time, skill-based, no-excuses combat. 1v1 and 2v2 ranked with 3v3 on the way. If you played WoW arena, you already know. If you didn't, think fighting game decision-making with RPG class depth. Five classes. 63 abilities. Stuns, roots, fears, interrupts, gap closers, shields, burst windows, healing. Every match is a puzzle where the other piece is trying to kill you. THE FIVE TYRANT - Melee pressure that doesn't stop. Build Rage, shred armor, execute at 30%. Two gap closers. Good luck running. WRAITH - Stealth opener into Combo Points into a finisher that ends fights. If it doesn't kill, Vanish and reset. Your opponent never feels safe. INFERNAL - Stack Cinders from range. At 5 stacks, Cataclysm Flare one-shots. Get kicked mid-cast and you're the one who dies. HARBINGER - Death by a thousand cuts. DoTs, drains, and Fear. When the damage stacks up, Hex Rupture detonates all of it at once. REVENANT - The hybrid everyone hates. Build Holy Power, then choose: kill them with a finisher or heal yourself back to full. Good luck figuring out which one is coming. THE COMBAT 12-15 abilities per class. Cooldowns, costs, cast times. Chain CC to set up kills. Kick their heal to finish them off. Blow your shield too early and you're dead in 3 seconds. This is not a game where you hold right-click and auto-attack. Every global cooldown matters. CLIMB Ranked 1v1 and 2v2 with separate ratings. Five tiers: The Broken, The Proven, The Exalted, The Dread, The Ascended. The #1 player is the Crucible Champion. You can spectate their matches live. 3v3 is coming. MORE WAYS TO FIGHT Custom Games - 4-letter room code. Settle it with your friends. VS AI - Three difficulties. Learn before you queue. THE ECONOMY Coins - Every ranked match pays. Win streaks pay more. Battle Pass - 50 tiers per season. All cosmetic. Shop - Frames, portraits, titles. Nothing that makes you stronger. CROSSPLAY Steam and browser.
