AutoArena is a free tactical auto battler that runs in your web browser — nothing to download, no sign-up beyond a name. Draft a hero and 5 minis, deploy them on a 7×8 board with an elixir budget, star up duplicates, and watch a deterministic battle decide each round of a best-of-5 ranked match. https://autoarena.gg/updates/ 2026-11-02T00:00:00Z AutoArenamatt@autoarena.gg https://autoarena.gg/favicon.svg https://autoarena.gg/updates/#2026-11-02 2026-11-02T00:00:00Z 2026-11-02T00:00:00Z <ul><li>A Quests section on the menu: save your account with an email or Google and get 2,000 coins, once.</li><li>Invite a friend with your own link.
